^ and I still choose not to - at the moment.

No constant connection, bigger cities and bugs fixed would be the requirements for me to buy

Fair points all.

Looks like the price is falling at Amazon [$39.99] as well:

Resist!  Resist I say...at least until it goes down to $9.99 or less.  :P

Oh crap, at least I had the trip to the store to slow me down in buying, but if now the same price for download....look out.

For what it is worth the amazon version is standard edition while target version is the limited edition.

In what special way does the Target version limit you, compared to the Amazon one?
Vituð ér enn - eða hvat?  -Voluspa

Nothing really rocks and nothing really rolls and nothing's ever worth the cost...

"Don't you look at me that way..." -the Abyss
 
'When searching for a meaningful embrace, sometimes my self respect took second place' -Iggy Pop, Cry for Love

... this will go down on your permanent record... -the Violent Femmes, 'Kiss Off'-

"I'm not just anyone, I'm not just anyone-
I got my time machine, got my 'electronic dream!"
-Sonic Reducer, -Dead Boys

The limited edition gives you british and french building styles and some other goodies.

Doesn't limit you, it is the limited edition...believe extra content...so the better deal.

I think it is the same as the LE version minus the Hero's and Villains DLC...which is most likely not worth $20...

But if target has the limited version for the same price of $39, then worth it:)

It's the beauty of capitalism.  You can buy a product or not.

I'll sit on the fence for a bit longer.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Right.  I got the deluxe one but I was thinking it was the limited edition.  So many names for a game and it's DLC.

If I buy now, it will be for the potential, plus my impulse nature:). Not really concerned about the issues since I think they will be addressed, just don't know if I would like this type of game or not.
