I don't mind, but that's fishy that it's an extra 5 bucks. Most special additions like that for games are usually the same price, the ones that I've seen anyway. I've even seen one or two that were cheaper than the original, but that was for PC games. In fact I bought the Civ3 SE with a tin box and it was the same price as the regular copy, which sat right next to it. So of course I bought the SE. I figured Halo 2 should have been the same way, especially since they announced that when you pre-order you get the choice, and for those that have already pre-ordered they just need to talk to who they pre-ordered through to get it switched if they want the SE copy. It didn't mention their should be a price change. Oh, and it was the Sims or Sim city that I saw a double pack that had the original game & an expansion pack in it and it was cheaper than buying just the original by itself. I thought that was hilarious when I saw it. I personally am going to wait to see if I can find a place that will have the SE for the regular price, I don't mind the extra 5 bucks if I have to but I'd rather have it for 49.95, and I know for a fact that those game stores will add on to the prices whenever they can. I've seen newly released xbox games in EB priced at 54.99. Sometimes it would be a game I was intending to buy so I'd have to run over to Best Buy and get it for it's real price of 49.99. It's for reasons like this that I will only shop at a gamestore when absolutely necessary.
