Actually, the first release is still MSRP $40 and $30+ secondhand shipped ($20+ disc only). So not "much less than $50". Factor in the DLC via season pass and asking $50 for the game is the exactly correct cost at worst, and a great value at best. 

Don't forget that the season pass isn't available anymore, if you want all the DLC that is included in the Remaster then you'll have to pay $40 ($35 if Grounded mode isn't included in the Remaster). Saying that you can simply get TLOU on PS3 with all the DLC for less (or even much less) than the Remaster is a straight up lie.

In that case, it makes the Remaster look even better, compared to the original release. I only started talking about the Season Pass because I was adapted to apparent new evidence, when I had this discussion in other threads, to remain consistant. But the Season Pass not being available anymore would explain why I didn't know about it when I looked up "TLOU DLC" to make a post in a different thread. I figured when you look up DLC, a season pass should be the first thing that pops up, and it doesn't for TLOU. But I continued talking about one just to comply and move the discussion forward.

Linking more varying Ebay auction prices is only making my case for me, friend. And hilarious that I am supposedly derailing the thread for some Halo BS I never even came close to mentioning or factoring into my post (seems you're the one derailing there).

You linked some secondhand prices to show value, I just thought I would post some as well to show how pointless they are. You apparently agree and are posting even more showing an even wider range of "value".


I don't see how so. You're trying to undermine TLOU by finding one or two postings, few and far between that didn't sell for much, to say "look, you're wrong!" when the majority of the listing are in the price range I'm talking about, not what you're talking about. My 60GB Xbox 360 Pro only sold for $75 when I sold it, when most were selling for $150+ in 2009. Does that mean my 360 was indicative of the trend of what Pro 360s were going for at the time? No! I just got unlucky and not many people saw my auction (a lot like the ones you listed that didn't have many bids).

And you didn't have to say anything about Halo. I know that your beef with the "value argument" only stems from me showing that the MCC isn't this big lucrative super all-in-one package that you guys are making it out to be and are hyped for, because you can get most of the package right now for a little under what the collection is going to cost. So you bring that beef into a TLOU thread, and you undermine TLOU as much as you can to make it seem like it's a not a good deal either, as you've done in other threads (you think your posting mentality/habits don't cross over into other threads, with memory of prior threads? You're not different from anyone else). But if what DerNebel says is true, that means I was correct in my very first assessment of the "value", in that the DLC is still $35 or higher for TLOU, meaning even your couple of $15 auctions you found, plus $35+ DLC = the "exact correct cost at worst" for the remaster, so I was still correct, even with your dubious suggestions.

But thanks for completely ignoring how I pointed out how irrelevant your post was since the guy I was responding to was talking about the original release being heavily discounted, something that happens at retail, and being much less than $50, and I showed that it wasn't, retail or otherwise (the bulk of my post).
