...Why? the game came out over a year later, and will come out over a year later in this case as well. If they don't bundle some things for "free", they'd have to release a "new" game at a reduced price in order to keep it competitive with other consoles. No publisher in their right mind would allow that. In the end, you paid more for it, yes. What do you get for paying more for it? MUCH earlier access to the content. High school economics!
