Bethesda Unveils Skyrim Collector's Edition
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
Wait, there's an edition that comes with a figure? Sweet. I was talking about the Augmented Edition (the one without the figure, apparently). But yeah, even so, Bethesda's Execs must be trolling...or insaneAkihiko said:
No interest whatsoever.
The map is free with a preorder anyway.
The art book is nice and all, but Dark Souls is giving away a free hardbound guide and artbook with preorder. The guide might not be as nice (I don't know what the Demon's Souls book looked like), but it certainly requires more work from the company to develop. This leads me to conclude that, based on other market forces, the art book is of low or no significant value. Let's say $10, it's hard bound and they have to pay shipping, but they had already drawn all of the concept art so other than a small payment to the one who puts it together, it's pure profit.
The making of DVD is something I would be interested in, I remember the days when this was handed out as a free bonus as well (it is with Dark souls, and a soundtrack). I doubt it will have much more information than any true Skyrim nerd would have already/will find out. It would be generous to say $10 since you can get most or all of the information it will contain on the internet anyways. $5.
And a statue. Even if you do want a dragon and aren't tired of big, useless objects coming with your collectors editions, this is PLASTIC. They value a plastic dragon at $75. No thanks. At that price it better be pure metal and hand detailed with copious gold leaf. But this is a trinket which might, MIGHT be worth $15, and that's only if you are willing to accept regretting buying it in the first place and wasting space in some closet because it's plastic, cheap, and ugly.
Now if this came with all of the DLC included as some special editions are, I would be interested. Unfortunately, no.
It's the only game I ever have preordered and expect I ever will.
Thanks for the plastic figurines though Bethesda.
Edit: There has been confusion over the status of the content in the preorder. The sound track and guide may be downloadable or physical. The initial announcement puts them both as downloadable, but Amazon.com says the soundtrack is a download, and Amazon.co.uk says the guide is a download. Still, a hardbound artbook and making of (dvd or download) alone is about as good as the Skyrim CE, and free.

Actually Dark Souls collector's edition is free with preorder. It's a manual, an artbook, a soundtrack, a making of DVD, and a metal case, all for the normal $60.Ian Caronia said:

The Dark Souls guide is a download, rather than being a book. Atleast it is in Europe. I still agree though, even that as a download, you've still got the artbook and soundtrack, for free.Liudeius said:
Oh and as for the quality, the guide was quite good for the original.

these 2 sum up my thoughts pretty much dead on. i would have expected something better in general to be honest, but charging that much too? too rich for my blood, i'll just get the regular version of the game... and a map.coldalarm said:
