Microsoft is sitting on a precious Rare that still hasn't been used.

You can get both S1+S2 for $40, I fail to see the issue.

The issue is that it come out in parts and pieces over a period of time.  Is it so hard to do a full retail release on a disc thee days?

I'm willing to bet MS was rushing it out the door to meet Sony to launch despite the needs of the developer so they devised the pricing model to accomodate that need to launch. They tend to overreact everytime Sony makes a movement. Look what happened last gen. They freaked out thinking they would launch close to Sony and launched a year ahead neglecting R&D and caused a massive RROD scare. MS was behind Sony in R&D timing and there were reports that MS was rushing to finish the Xbox Ones development once they heard Sony was complete with the PS4 and launching in Q4.
