Now, if you'd like to purchase a version of the game with extra bonuses like virtual Shaq shoes and jerseys, extra VC, or even shell out for a different cover version of Shaq, then that's up to the individual person.

Exactly.


I really don't get why all this nonsense about the 150 $ even started.
There are DOZENS of games with collector editions having the same price.
Sure, you can argue if it is worth in the case of 2k18. (No, if you ask me).
But that's it

Destiny came out with a $170 edition where you could get a replica helmet or something. Who cares. The dude at the store didn't make me buy it.

I was talking about those who would prefer the physical edition, of course. Lakers' Shaq is more marketable than Heat's because he was a better player and won more Championships and whatnot; and there are way more Lakers' fans than Heat's. I'm a Lakers' fan and I won't buy that edition just because it's got one of the best players in franchise history; I did it last year with Kobe (80 €) because he had just retired but after seeing all the game's bull****, I'm only buying the standard edition, and not in launch day. But there are people who will "take the bait" and they will make a good profit from it

I understand that I don't and I won't. I just don't see why they raised it $50.

Release Crappy Game = Make next game 50 bucks extra

Because capitalism. And because they are digital products, they have barely any manufacturing costs if this edition doesn't sell.

And it wasn't a crappy game. And 2K18 won't be 50 bucks extra.
