No offence but Microsoft said the Elite was going to be limited edition too. I remember FutureShop advertising the Elite saying while quantities last, limited edition. Other retailers in Canada like Zellers made similiar announcements. I rushed to the store thinking I was getting such a great deal, one that I couldn't pass up. If I waited just alittle while then I might miss the Elite altogether.
Well I paid 650$ for my Elite launch month thinking it was limited edition. Now all these years later and looky they are still on store shelves. They weren't limited at all, it was just a smart sales pitch. The ModernWarFare2 bundle will be on shelves as long as their is demand, I doubt it will be any more limited edition then past software bundles. They will be on shelves for at least a year if not longer.
I mean take for example the limited Edition Halo 2. I remember buying it and going to trade it in at EBGames. EBGames told me that their were so many limited editions turned in that I would actually get less trade in value for it then the normal edition. Microsoft has a way of milking this whole limited edition thing and they do it very well.
Limited Edition causes gamers to make ratical purchases and increases impulse buying. When someone thinks they have a limited time offer they rush into the stores to buy it. Trust me this bundle will still be on store shelves next Christmas, unless the nextbox launches next fall!
