Collector or Standard for PS3

[Richzilla]

I pretty much had talked myself into the pre order on the Collector Edition for the PS3 however.........

I now notice that the standard is 10 dollars less with a 10 dollar credit on amazon.

There is no 10 dollar credit on the collector edition.

Is there enough there to warrant a 20 dollar price gap ??

I know there are 5 extra courses......so I would be paying 4 bucks each for them.

What is everyone else doing ??

A $20 difference makes it tough. Remember 2 of those are fantasy courses which for me are a complete waste and I will never use so it would only be 3 extra courses and with the standard addition you get an extra course if you preorder, not sure if you get that bonus course with a pre-order of the collector's edition. If you don't then you're paying $20 for 2 extra courses and if you do then $20 for 3 courses isn't much of a deal either.

I would say definately not if you don't like fantasy courses and a definate maybe if you do. At this point we don't know how much DLC courses will cost. They might be $5 a course or as much as $10 a course.

I'm with you the fantasy courses are worthless to me.

I'm leaning towards the standard edition at this point.

I decided to pass on the Collector's Edition as soon as I saw that two of the additional courses were fantasy courses, which are of no interest to me. I'm not a fan of Wolf Creek either, so that pretty much cinched it for me. I'm hoping they'll offer some attractive bundles like they did with Tiger 11. I bought 4 different bundles when they hit the market

I went with the standard edition.

99 cent release day delivery from amazon with 10 dollar credit.

Just cancelled my preorder for the Collector's edition and just ordered the standard version for the PS3.

Save $10,
Get $10 towards another game,
Free release day delivery.

I will just use the extra money to purchase the courses that I want as I have NO interest in fantasy courses.

What did they charge for the bundles last year and could you pick and choose what courses you wanted in a bundle?

Not for nothin' but the artwork for the standard cover is better IMO as well...
