But what if he drops something in an awkward place? He doesn't have nearly enough flexibility!jrobin7401 said:
Job looking time. Between this, Skyrim Collectors Edition, Halo CE Anniversary, Assassin Creed Revelations and Halo 4 that's at least £310.
Funny, I thought the robotic dog was the most idiotic part of the whole collection. But I'm still preordering this shit LIKE RIGHT NOW MAN.
I am a sucker for collector's editions.

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who had a minor WTF moment when the robot dog was mentioned, though the article is written to suggest the author thought that too.Andy Chalk said:
I might actually get the collector's edition... partly for the soundtrack.
DAMN IT.
Bioware, you could have secured my money by giving me hope in the story, or made me think it was going to really be an RPG, or... or something.
But instead, no. You played upon my love of robotic dogs. And the weird bizarrely meta-fictional thing of giving Shepard the Mass Effect hoodie from the real world that was based on Commander Shepard's armour. I mean, what the?
But mostly I wanna puppy. Who's a good little robotic canine? Is it you? Yes it is!
(If you can play with the dog, I am SOLD RIGHT THERE.)

HEY! That's cool. I didn't know that. Good stuff!LiquidGrape said:
A robot dog, WTF? Seriously, WTF?
A couple of piss poor weapons that maybe I'll use once or twice and a tin plated Chihuahua is supposed to make me wet my pants in excitement? Lame Bioware, lame and not real funny.
I think it might just be me, but these so called "collector's editions" are really starting to show that they aren't worth it.

Pretty much this. Especially since I expect the robot dog to work exactly like the mabari in Dragon Age 2. I used it for all of an hour at the beginning and pretty much forgot to keep bringing that thing out after that point.Andy Chalk said:
I got the Collector's Edition of ME2 when I changed my preorder of MW2 to that, i'm definitely getting this one as well.
But if I have a Robotic Dog it'll destroy my amazing Shepard/Legion/Tali team!
Soundtrack.... meh, never really cared for game soundtracks; they're designed to enhance the game but not be listened to on their own. The Halo music from that first Arbiter level in Halo 2 without the game behind it? Mediocre.
A hoodie, well an actual hoodie would be pretty amazing, I would definatly wear that (assuming it was a nice subtle black hoodie with a little N7 logo or something) but an ingame one is.... well not bad, but not great.
Extra weapons are always nice to have I suppose, some extra choice. Though I can't help but notice that there was a Widow sniper in the latest trailer, so I'll most definatly be using that instead.
70 Page art book and a big metal case.... wait what?! SOLD!

The art book and DLC sold me, but what made it a must-buy for me was the soundtrack album. I love the Mass Effect soundtracks, and I spent something like $20 importing the ME1 soundtrack CD so as far as I'm concerned the rest is free stuff.
But I love the art book and the card inserts, too.
(C'mon, BioWare, throw in a "making of" DVD too, eh?)

It would appear that I am in the minority of people not particularly interested in getting this. Don't get me wrong, I find a lot of that stuff to be pretty cool and I think that an extra $20 is a reasonable price.
However, I feel it a waste when: I know that the book will be collecting dust on my shelf after 3-4 views, I don't even use their forums so the avatars are useless and I'd rather have the album on my iTunes. I've never really been one to get excited for this type of content.
As for the in-game content, I'm really only interested in the weapons. Alternate outfits for characters and random pets really don't do anything for me.
All that aside, I'm really stoked for this game. I can't wait to get my hands on it next year.

Nahh, I'm going to have to name it "Barkspawn"xXDeMoNiCXx said:They had me at Robotic dog. I shall name it...."Dog".
OT: I may just get this, even though I will be in school at the time. I wonder where the nearest GameStop is in Galesburg...
