Well, if you could at least, you know fold it and then open it again I would buy it. But no, a piece of plastic needs a stature to look good. Jerks...
On the other hand, the Big Daddy figurine was not all that bad. Also the special edition of Infamous was good.

The only time I've ever bought the collectors edition was for Oblivion and GTA:IV. Oblivion was kinda worth it, the book that was included was nice and helped give a history to the world if i remember correctly it was only like $10 more so it wasn't a rip off. Now the GTA collectors edition was definitely worth the the money in my opinion.

I was a bit miffed at this when I opened my collector's edition, but then again I'm still happy with it because of the other stuff you get with it. The big box itself is a piece of art, as is the gamebox, and the little booklet with the patient notes is excellent, not to mention that you also get a whole disc of extra content. So all in all, I'm still a happy camper. ^^
I thought I heard it was going to be metal! Well at least Modern Warfare 2 NVgoggles will be worth it and work right? Right?
Occasionally, occasionally, occasionally, they are. The aforementioned Guild Wars CE came with a hardback book, a sound track, some in game content (that was worthless), the microphone equipped headphones, and a $20 price hike.Jugular said:
Warcraft 3 was a similar 20 bucks extra for the sound track, a full size art book, and something else, (I forget what exactly).
In both cases the artbooks were of a quality that I probably would have picked up on their own. Additionally, Oblivion's $10 price hike was probably worth it just for the guide to Tamriel alone.
This whole pay an extra 30 - 40 bucks for some random crap? Not so much, no. Fallout 3 still blows me away, not because the CE was 30 bucks extra, for a bobble head and a flimsy lunch box, nor for the amazon.com exclusive pip boy alarm clocks that broke in sixteen seconds flat. No, Fallout 3 blows me away because there was a CE of the strategy guide as well.
Yup coxafloppin is right United Kingdom is a Kingdom, Great Britain is an Island Ireland is not attached to this island!coxafloppin said:
OT:I have my batarang on display and from the front high up on my shelf is looks ok. But dang I wanted to play with it!
You know what? I'm not sure I want to buy a cheap plastic deathtrap for forty plus dollars more in Australia, even though I'm a consumerist whore sometimes. I mean, I bought a Transformers MP3 player that transforms into 1980s G1 Soundwave, but at least that delivered what it promised. This Batarang will be a boomerang that doesn't come back.
Where I am the Collectors Edition is only like, fifteen pounds more. When my boyfriend was buying Arkham Asylum he asked what was in the Collectors Edition, the guy behind the counter did just say "Some badly made Batarang" (ended up buying the normal edition).
But yeah, the Batarang does just look like a cheap random piece of black plastic. It looks good from far away, but when you can see it at a closer distance it looks... blegh.

Truthfully I think this one was a serious deception since I could have sworn that I read the Batarang was a metal replica (like many) which is why there was so much discussion about nerds running around causing injuries with them.
No, you can't return the package. However I think Eidos should be made to produce metal ones (even at a loss) and exchange them for the plastic ones via the mail (with postage on them).
It won't happen, but that is what I think SHOULD happen.

It's a PAL exclusive.Eoin Livingston said:
