Man, I am so tempted to buy it. Don't know if I will though. $20 is not much but if I don't have any new content then I don't care. I have purchased the latest dlc as well for the 360. Do you think I can get all that for $20

I got the game for 7 bucks the first time around. Wouldn't mind having a hard copy of it on my shelf. But 20 bucks for all the DLC and the Game remastered sounds like a steal. It's a really good game.

I bought the disc. Not sure if you get the discount purchasing a hard copy. You get both dlcs with the game.

 The game as it is wouldn't work with Co-Op IMO, they would need to add a whole new gameplay element to it. Larger hordes/infestations, bigger space etc. As it is, I'm not sure we will see a Co-Op in this version. I do however think MS is backing them, so their next release may be fully funded, in which case I think we would see a Co-Op.
