What do you think? Is it worth the extra $10 price of entry?

Is that all the info they put out today? I'm not sure what the point of giving us a date to release info for this when we already knew about this stuff weeks ago. I was hoping they would offer some tidbits about career mode instead of just a 1 minute video. I guess it's worth it for the extra courses but not for a 10 second cutscene.

This new TSC (and the supposedly improved graphics, chipping\short game and ball physics) needs to blow me away tomorrow to preorder this if they are not offering anything new with career mode. I'm so on the fence with this game. I need my video game fix but asking us to spend another $100 for the game\DLC where there is really no offline replay value and career may be just a carbon copy of TW12 is making it tough.

Worth it, mostly for the extra courses.

Worth it, especially if preordered from Amazon. You get a $10 credit toward a future purchase there, making it essentially the same cost as the retail price for the regular version.

I haven't bought a TW game in a while so $10 for 5 extra championship courses seems like a good deal. Don't know what the DLC courses normally run. Also hoping the additional Par 3 course will be good fun on the Kinect.

Thought it was an interesting idea how they said coins you earn during gameplay can be traded for rounds on DLC courses you haven't purchased so that may be an alternative for those not wanting to pay for additional courses. As long as the coin converstion rate is not to ridiculous.

I think I'll go this route. I wanted the bonus course from GameStop but with release day shipping, it's almost $80.

This exactly. The credit makes this a good value.

I was kind of on the fence for this year's installment too, but I'll likely cave. I've played the hell out of 11 with about 120 rounds, and 12 with 170+ rounds. More than my money's worth!

I am thinking about getting this with amazon. I skipped last years version, even though I was really excited about Augusta National being a part of the game finally. With the Amazon deal, this is almost sure buy for me.

Worth it... I pre-ordered at Gamestop as well so getting the extra goodies... In the grand scheme of things... $10 more for the game and getting 6 additional courses (Augusta Par 3 included) as well as the Practice facility is not too terrible....

I have never concerned myself with Career play except if it was the quickest way to level up my CAG... Once finished... it was off to online play exclusively.... This year may pay a little more attention to it as it may rack up some nice coin bonuses.....

Haha, caved. Went ahead and finally placed my Amazon preorder for the Collector's Edition.

It'll get played. A LOT.
