TBH, that's pretty much the only reason I bought it. The game was just a bonus to me. :P For some reason it didn't sell very well yesterday. Only 13% was claimed.
Think a lot of people were turned off by the reviews saying it was buggy as hell, was rushed to market, and had one of the crappiest final boss fights ever. A few of my friends have said its a decent game though and the MP is pretty fun once you get the hang of it supposedly.

Did you end up getting one? I think $20 is worth it for any CE unless the game is as bad as E.T for 2600. Well it's doing better on this run. It still has over 2 hrs and 29% had been claimed. I guess being started at midnight it hindered the sales for the last run.

Yeah I snagged one about 30 minutes into the sale.

Also thought I should say the Elder Scrolls anthology is really nice. I was suprised at the weight when I picked it up. Game comes with a protective plastic outer cover, then a hard cardboad/book type of inner cover with the book snuggly tucked inside of it. The book has discs for each game and all their expansions and even has the creation kit for morrowind. Only things I didn't like was the way the discs are stored in book sleeves, and the steam code is just a single bundle code. So you can't give any spare games you already have in your steam library away. Really pleased with it though probably the nicest physical pc game I own next to Fallout New Vegas CE.
