As someone who bought the CE of the original (and the DLC), I also plan to buy this "definitive" version as it is one of my favorite games and I'd like to have the best version.

You guys really have no issue paying full price for the same game twice? I don't mind being the only dissonant voice in the hallway, but I just don't understand it.

I don't know if I'll buy it at launch - depends on if there's a CE or some other incentive. Otherwise I will likely wait a bit for a price drop and/or until I feel the urge to play it again.

I don't like the use of "definitive" but other then that I am fine with re-releases it basically just an enhanced GOTY version in most cases.

In my opinion the definitive version of a game is the original version at release. Everything else after that is just a revision with extra polish.

Exactly. While this wasn't the only reason they released it I'm sure, it is reason enough alone.

A guy I work with was considering buying a PS3 for this one game. Now, he's considering buying a PS4 for this game now, others later.

And now you know the reason why there's no backwards compatibility.

Usually i don't issue with these things (i mean i love the idea of PS2 classics on the PS3) but this game is barely a year old... it is necesary?
We will only know when the PS4 version comes out to see if it really is a upgrade.
