The vinyl will be great for me because I was geeky enough to buy one of these bad boys:

I got it to rip all the old records I found in my grandparents closet (Billy Holiday Frank Sinatra etc.) that I found I actually liked mostly because I love the crackle you get off of records.
The art book will be worth it and as will the posters, my walls are looking pretty bare right now come to think of it. I just hope this makes it as far as the U.K. I don't want to go through the hassle of importing it.

It's coming back very stronly. Also, it has more feeling into it.Danny Ocean said:
OT: I am going to fight to get me one of these.
As much as I know to never fall prey into Special Editions... I can't help myself. I really... REALLY want this... crap I'm going to have to shell out 40 extra bucks for this.
quite a few actually. many audiophiles (myself included) perfer vinyl for its clarity and sound reproduction over cd's, hence the reason why most new albums STILL have vinyl versions produced.Archemetis said:
still, as much as id like the lp im not paying $90 for the pc version for just that, a cd and some posters.
Bah, I never get the collector's edition. (I'm cheap) but this one has actaully peaked my interest. The posters and record sound awesome, but $40 is just a tad too much for me.
I would totally get it tho if they threw in a soft plushie big daddy doll like the one from the teaser trailer.
I would cuddle it, and hug it, and pet it, and it would be my best friend. :3

Just read this, and I have to say, given what all comes with it, $40 seems rather reasonable. A record and CD, that could run you about $35 for the pair, depending where you shop. The art book could go anywhere from about $15-$50, and given that it looks hardcover, I'll assume it'd be towards the higher end of that spectrum. Posters are a hard one to call, but I'll go with the local store price of about $7 a piece, so about $21 for the 3. That totals out to about $71-$100 just for the extras, and that doesn't even include the game. So assuming I've priced it out right, that would be an approximately $130-160 value in that pre-order deal. Don't take my prices for absolute truth though, I'm merely using local prices for similar goods.Tom Goldman said:
You had me at Soundtrack. More developers need to make the soundtracks to their games readily available. For the record, I made room for 5 of the first Bioshock's pieces on my cramped 8gig iPod, and I still love them for posting it as a free download when I would have just as gladly paid for it. If Bioshock 2 has anywhere near as good of a soundtrack, it alone would be worth getting the collector's edition for me (not literally, but the other stuff included looks interesting as well).
Posters? Good, I seriously lack posters on my room, these will look fantastic. A must-have for me. Would've been even better if it would include one of those Big Daddy dolls. Better put some cash aside it already.

Hope that the special edition makes it to the UK, because I'm sold.

If only it was an actual 78RPM record.. y'know, those Shellac/Bakelite records from the '90s-50s.
