This is a great price regardless of whether a VE comes or not. This game is loaded and HUO. VE doesn't seem to matter as much as people thought.....Sure, IM took a hit at first but is now back in a stable pricing range. If you want a loaded SM this is a steal. If I didn't have one, I would be making the drive. i actually sold a stock HUO last year for 5400 so this is underpriced in my opinion. Great deal! Glws.
