It is the only way that you can get Elmo's ABCs, which is supposed to be improved from the previous version and includes a whole new set of features that people have been asking for since it released, like being able to customize the order of the questions and import Elmo into Halo 3.

Please answer my question
Is the Halo 3 special edition is the only version I can buy? Is there a regular version of Halo 3

Un freaking believable. EA retain exclusive rights for all major gaming platforms, and they disband the PC version? How is that legal? I can't believe they will be releasing a PSP and DS version, but not a PC version. But yet they still own NFL gaming rights for the PC. There is no way that is legal surely.

No but the special edition of Madden is the only way you can buy Head Coach. How you don't see people's problem with this is beyond me. Your argument seems to rest on the fact that there are 2 different versions of Madden so people aren't forced to buy the Collector's Edition but anyone who wants Head Coach has no other option and many of them don't want to buy Madden.

The same thing happened with the MLB license. There are technically no first party devs for PC so 2K has an exclusive MLB license to make PC games yet thy never made one.

That would be like Microsoft releasing some total crap game (Elmo's ABC's) with Halo 3 and boasting when they release Elmo's ABC's 2 that the first copy sold 5 million copies. It is dishonest marketing.
