    Furthering the example, does anyone think Crackdown would have been so "successful" if it didn't include a key to the Halo 3 beta? Probably a million people bought that crap game just to get the beta key.

        Is the Halo 3 special edition is the only version I can buy?

          Ummm...how about the fact that you just paid $90 for Head Coach, when if it was released seperately, it should have been no more than $60?

          Sure you could say that you will get $30ish back in credit for Madden, but there is no guarantee that you can trade it in. You won't have a box for Madden, if you want to keep it for Head Coach, or Gamestop might not except it as a trade-in without Head Coach included, since it is technically incomplete.

            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.

                  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.

                              Hrm. It's slightly different given the PC has seen annual release up until this point. If anything I can't see how the NFL approve of letting a major gaming platform go without their product. I can't believe the NFL would sell their exclusive rights without a clause stating all major platforms must be attended to. Sales power lacking in comparison to consoles or not, the PC is still a major gaming platform, not to mention per 100 heads wise seemingly more popular Internationally when it comes to Madden - at least, in all Madden PC communities I frequent, there seems to be far more International gamers than I think I've ever seen in a console biased community (I'm Australian myself). Not the best way for the NFL to start their International popularity campaign - i.e. by making their flagship videogame (which is probably their most effective year round promotion tool) miss a key platform.

                                Why exactly should EA not look at sales numbers to determine what constitutes a "major platform"?
