Actually, CE's are getting more expensive. Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader is being sold for $299 and Final Fantasy XVI CE is being sold for $350. Yikes. I guess it all boils down to how bad you want it. I played the original BG in 1998 when I was 17 and loved it, and BG2 was even better -- like the greatest CRPG I had ever played at that point in my life. So of course, I have the CEs of both of those games. I'm also a lifelong DnD player. So, for me, the CE of BG3 is worth it... even after having already purchased EA.
