Re: That's true.

In Response To: Re: That's true. (Empty Set)


: And that would be fine, if they'd been so kind as to say so beforehand. I
: understand that's a marketing issue. Many of us - myself included - would
: never have bought the higher-end packages if we knew the content would be
: available online (and free) shortly thereafter. Looks like Legendary
: didn't sell well as it is, if Amazon was dumping it for half off, and
: maybe announcing that the content would be free would have killed it.
: That's a reasonable explanation. But it doesn't mean some of us can't feel
: (rightly) shafted.

: I appreciate their approach to DLC. Tell me the "buy it now" price,
: and tell me when it'll be free. I'll throw down $10 for these imminent
: maps, and not feel cheated, because they're giving me the choice. I
: understand why they didn't publicize the eventual availability of this
: previously exclusive content; that doesn't mean it wasn't low rent.

Sorry. I'm not sure I was very clear.

Okay: there are two discs, right? There's one that both the Limited and the Legendary have (Essentials Disc One), and one that only the Legendary has (Disc Two).

The Limited disc cost $10, right?

That's the content that's been (mostly) released to the net.

The Limited ALSO had a paper Bestiarium, which clearly isn't being released to the net.

On the Legendary disc, there are the following items:

  • Remastered cutscenes, plus voiceover
  • 7 Steps to World Domination
  • Cortana Chronicles
  • Two RvB pieces
  • a This Spartan Life piece
  • an expanded on-disc Bestiarium

Additionally, you get the Blue filter (which you can get for free from the Bungie Store -and now that I think of it, it was in both boxes), and you get the storyboards (paper, so they're exclusive).

I think the 7 Steps video might have been released; I can't remember. Other than that, though, every bit of the Legendary disc is unreleased - and might very well stay that way. (I don't know about the TSL piece; Chris might decide to release it, since his current module makes more sense with it.)

SO: What's been released is less than $10 worth of stuff, if you go by the cost difference between the Limited and the Regular - you just said that was okay, right?
