After Minecraft was so successful I didn't they'd go retail with their next release.

hahahaha I just got this. nice

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

I won't lie. I'd love to have this, but $150 is just too much. Here's hoping for a clearance somewhere after Christmas.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Publishers really need to cut this statue shit out of collectors editions.

Seriously. Whatever the fuck happened to $70 to $80 LEs that had a steelbook case, making of DVD and either a small artbook or OST selection CD?!

 

[GenericUser]

>special cover
>art book
>statue
>150€

get the fuck off. seriusly.

not that i where not willing to shell out a ton of euros for a special edition, but the ingredients of that so called "special" edition, are beyond good and evil.

 

[Dresden]

Shoulda put in a bodypillow instead.

 

[Xamdou]

Would have bought if it had an in-game Dragon companion.

 

[Chesskid1]

the statue is made of PVC guys! P V C , that ain't cheap.

 

[bathala]

whoa? Notch new game has collector's edition already

 

[Ponti]

Would have bought if it had an in-game Dragon companion.

Pff superior PC version can get you that and much more for free.

 

[Dennis]

Seeing that statue.....I admit that it kinda hit home how nerdy our hobby is.

Sorry, but it does.

Not that there is anything wrong with that but it may explain how we are perceived.

 

[WEGGLES]

Already have the regular edition pre-ordered, glad this isn't something I'd want.

Not keen on statues.

 

[UrbanRats]

150€ for an Artbook (only thing i'm intereste in)? Fucking Laughing Out Loud.

 

[careksims]

Should just do what Atlus does and give CE choices. Just want the art book and map. That's it! Don't want the statue

 

[The_Monk]

For so many time I've waited for this to come to public...

...only to know that the price is too high. If there was a cheaper edition, then maybe, but with so many great game coming, this price is to much for me.

you are wearing an avatar of a the witcher. i am wearing a raichu. we are nerds.

 

[Blue Ninja]

$149.99 (US), €149.99 (Europe), £129.99 (UK)

Get the everloving fuck out of here.

Okay Beth, listen to me. Listen closely. I love you, I love Skyrim, I'm even doing the OT for Skyrim, but €150? Nobody will buy this.

 

[Deified Data]

Ah, God, I kind of have to...I'm a sucker for statues and artbooks. Sold.

 

[zlatko]

In a year like this one where the holiday is packed to the BRIM with amazing AAA games...$150 is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much.

 

[Infamous Chris]

WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I HAVE A STEELBOOK CASE EDITION FOR $80?

;__;

 

[kennah]

What did they do to Notch?

EDIT: Just saw the other thread. Nevermind.

 

[Enco]

whoa? Notch new game has collector's edition already

What did you expect?

He sold 3 mil across several scroll games! Hope there's some Minecraft integration in his upcoming Scrolls game.

 

[JoeBoy101]

I like the statue and the art book looks good, but $150?!?

Sorry Bethesda. You had me in your pocket, and then ejected me with this crazy ass price. I'll go standard. Shit comes with a map too, so I save ~$100 for art book and statue.

Jeez.

Okay Beth, listen to me. Listen closely. I love you, I love Skyrim, I'm even doing the OT for Skyrim, but €150? Nobody will buy this.

Bethesa, me and BN here both are saying no. That should convince you this is a fuck stupid price. Knock $50 off and I will probably bite.

 

[inner-G]

Do not want

Fugly statue = Fugly

 

[jon bones]

i mean, the game will probably be pretty cool

if that map was cloth and useful, i'd try to pick one up separately

 

[Luigi87]

Just makes me wanna write a formal letter.

Dear publishers,

Please release special editions that include say only artbook and/or soundtracks, and not an additional statue at an inflated cost.

Sincerely
etc.


I love artbooks, and now and then I like to collect statues/figures, but not always.

 

[Danneee]

Hope there will be some kind of limited edition without ugly ass plastic figures in it.

 

[Broder Salsa]

I would buy that, for 60$.

 

[Dennis]

inflated cost.

You answered why we get statues yourself.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I would buy that, for 60$.

Wait till Christmas when it will sell for that amount.

This. Absolutely.
Jesus those statues are always crappy anyway.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

No way at £130, everything except for the statue interests me but it's too expensive.

 

[Mama Robotnik]

Considering all the hours I've put into Minecraft, I'm expecting big things from this. Hopefully Mojang can live up to my expectations.

 

[TomcatTheLion]

$149.99 (US)

lol no

 

[Luigi87]

It wasn't a question.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I HAVE A STEELBOOK CASE EDITION FOR $80?

;__;

That's my thoughts, usually these things come in 3's now. I want a steelbook $80 version with just the art book...

 

[FGMPR]

It looks kind of shameful compared to what CDPR offered with the regular retail Witcher 2.

 

[Live Free or Die]

come on guys, there is a effing DRAGON statue! dont hate.

 

[fernoca]

The status is nice.
The book is nice.
The map is nice.
The price is not.

$150...? At least Black Ops had a remote controlled car for that price.

[Dennis]

It wasn't a question.

And yet you still managed to provide an answer. Impressive!

 

[Deified Data]

It's worth mentioning that I've never splurged on a special edition of a game, before. Honestly, Skyrim is the only game I'd ever consider wasting so much money on. I don't plan on buying anything else this fall but Deus Ex, so thankfully I should have the money.

Hah, I'm just trying to justify this inevitable purchase to myself. Excited!

 

[Zwei]

$150? What? No.

Bethesda would have to include a Skyrim-job for me to even consider.

 

[AndyMoogle]

Considering how few CEs they made for Fallout: New Vegas, I'd say that they won't make many of these either. They will be sold out on day 1.

With that said, I'd much rather have a CE without the statue for $70-80. Like the Oblivion CE. That's more reasonable.

 

[Emerson]

Damn, I really wanted a CE for a making of DVD but I have no use for a statue nor do I have 150 bucks to buy it. I wish they had a middle edition. Hopefully I can buy the DVD from somebody.

 

[quinntendopower]

a CnC milled piece of PVC isn't worth 80 dollars

i'd be happy if they released a game that won't be buggy for 60 dollars, but elder scrolls are be bop a loo bop boring anyway.

 

[Exuro]

So is games for windows DRM confirmed for pc?

It's going to be Steamworks. Fallout New Vegas also had "Games for Windows" on their box. You're thinking of Games for Windows Live

 

[Lostconfused]

I buy stupid collectors editions that aren't worth the price that is being charged for them all the time. Even I think this is incredibly dumb, at least put a nice bound book and another shitty coin in there or something, common. A frikin statue? Nobody has any room for them anymore since apparently every frikin game this year comes with one.

 

[LiK]

more worthless statues for me

 

[PaulLFC]

$149.99 (US)... £129.99 (UK)

No Bethesda. Just... no.

$149.99 = £91.67, + 20% VAT = £109.99. It's expensive enough as it is, yet they want £20 more? Not a chance.

 

[Interfectum]

$150 for a dragon statue... lol
