I was hoping for a collectors edition with a statuette, but I just don't feel comfortable laying down £130 for it.
Edit: I'm going Gollum over this thing.
We wants it so much
No, we can'ts afford it
If we trades in Bayonetta and some others we can affords it
We still likes Bayonetta, and we is unemployed
There are months to go, we may be employed then, but we musts preorder now!
It basically continues like this.
Ha! This is pretty much me to a T also. I have Skyrim pre-ordered, and I was hoping to switch it over to the CE, but $150? Have the execs at Bethesda gone insane? I mean, it has literally
everything I would want from a CE: Making-Of DVD, Huge artbook, and a MOTHER FUCKING INCREDIBLE DRAGON STATUE (plus pre-order map)...
But I can't afford that even if it came with a real dragon egg. I mean, who can? Who the hell has $150 to throw at a game these days?
Atlus's "Catherine" special (and limited also) edition was $80
Deus Ex Human Revolution special edition (not as severely limited I don't think) is $70
Think Dark Souls is about $70-$80 too
See the trend, Bethesda Execs? Look, we are drooling uncontrollably here over Skyrim and we really want to get that CE. But the price is too damn high. How about you guys make a different Collector's Edition that excludes the Dragon statue (it hurts me to even type that) and sell
that edition for less. ...MUCH less. You'd be able to since nothing else in that CE justifies such a high price tag except for the cost of making that statue.
So, second $80 Skyrim Collector's Edition with 200pg Artbook and Making-Of DVD? Please?
...Seriously. Look at the economy. You really think even the most die hard fans are willing to lose their home for that statue. It's sexy. It's "Curvy and cute bikini model on the beach waiting for you to put lotion on her thighs" sexy. But it's not $150 sexy.
