I am ready. If the collectors edition price isn't too bad I'll probably pick it up. Itching to jump back into the game.

Kind of a boring trailer lol.

Hopefully there's more meaty content later. Might buy the dumb kid edition if it's priced well.

No price on the special editions? I'm guessing something like $100 for the LE, since it has the season pass.
