Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword [SPOILERS]

Resisted reading the spoilers and finally bought a Wii Motion Plus today. Hope the game is good! :o

I think you would have gotten a better deal if you bought the special edition package. Comes with a wii remote plus, and the game, for 70 bucks. I think wii remotes are normally 40 bucks by themself or something?
