edit: double post.

I'm sorry but does this leave a bad taste in anyone else's mouth who was on the fence about pre ordering but hasn't done so yet? For the non wealthy on here it's hard enough to justify 8.5k on a toy, I would be turned off if I convinced myself to spend my hard earned cash on this pin and they basically go "umm no no no, the price is now 9k....and your now getting less". To me no different if someone was selling there used B/W and when you go ok I'll take it they then proceed to up the price $500. You may not see it that way and thats fine but that's how it comes across me. 8.5k was a fricken ton of money to me. And yes I was debating on making a big purchase which would be my only new pin for the year (was most likely gonna be the hobbit until the reveal) but at 9k theres no way I can justify TBL to myself.

yeah, there is def two 2 ways to look at it. I just get this feeling I'm now over paying for the game by $500 if I jump in and it was already a very expensive game to me. I think it's great that early pre orders get extras thrown in like the rug and chrome upgrade, thats a great Idea and I have no problem with that but upping the price all of a sudden? I guess it just rubs me the wrong way.
