By buying Day One, you get far more "newness" - you can learn and play with other people exploring for the first time, you can see new things, learn new things. If you buy the GotY edition, odds are there are at least 12,500 walkthroughs, best-builds, cookie-cutter builds, cheats, etc out. Everybody already knows what happens. Nobody cares that you just took down the Imperial Black Dragon of Doom - everybody knows that's just the end boss for Act II and that he's very weak vs poison.
I think it's a fair trade-off. If you're willing to wait a year to buy it, because you do'nt haev time for games all the time anyway, it's good. It's the same - b ut less pronounced -as bargain bins. Or big holiday sales. I won't - and don't - spend $50 on pretty much any game, unless it's CD Projekt Red - and eve there, it's more a show of support than because I want to play right away (still haven't played through the Witcher 2 but bought it as pre-order
)
