Ok the game is $60, so I'd be paying an extra $40. A year of elite alone is $50 (or so I've been told), so I'm already saving $10. Also, if we do get four map packs, each map pack costing $15 without Elite, then I would be paying $60 extra. So really, I'm saving around $20, not to mention the other small goodies included. Yeah, this is worth it IMO. Of course, this is assuming they get all the map packs out within a year. There's absolutley no reason they shouldn't, but I'm going to call scam if that does happen.

And I'm an Xbox player, but I agree that PC players have kind of been getting the short end of the stick with these deals.
