I couldn't possibly care less. They could come out a year before the cheaper release and I wouldn't give a shit. I don't keep up with new releases. Games don't have expiration dates, and the only games that really have time sensitive content are ones that have an online community focus. I don't play online though (expect for Mario Kart), and I don't really read much about current games to have them spoiled, so I don't care if cheaper versions of games are released later after jacked up early releases.
