The map is obviously there, but the press release doesn't say anything about a map. Hmm.

See the way to sell this game is : "Includes CLOTH MAP" Bought.

It's a pre-order item. Not exclusive to the C.E.

 

[The_Squirrel_Menace]

Sorry Bethesda, Starwars The Old Republic CE at 150€ as well, I might add, was available first. No enough €uro left on my gaming budget to buy yours.

Although, if your CE did had virtual items that would greatly enhance the experience of Skyrim, I would consider it. But since its not the case, I'll pass! I'll joyfully buy your regular version though!

 

[BrettWeir]

SW:TOR $150 >>>>>> Scrolls V $150.

 

[EteRnal PAL]

This collector's edition seriously better be limited at that price.

 

[JimtotheHum]

I really want that art book, but I'm not paying $150

 

[Zeliard]

Dark Souls will be my first CE, guess why.

Yeah this is even sillier when you look at Namco offering the Dark Souls CE at $59.99 as a pre-order.

 

[ironcreed]

Dark Souls will be my first CE, guess why.

An art book
Mini-guide
Making of DVD
Soundtrack
Steel case

All for no extra charge. Now that REALLY makes this deal look bad.

 

[Petrichor]

The game case itself is obviously special... is it a steelbook? Doesn't mention it in the press release.....

 

[Kagari]

What's with this trend of every CE containing a statue now.

 

[bengraven]

So there's no middle of the road one? It's either the $60 one or the way too fucking expensive one?

I would hope they would make a 70/80 dollar one with the making of DVD and maybe book at least.

That is what I was holding out and hoping for. Oh well, regular edition for me.

 

[tiff]

$150 for a dragon statue. Holy shit.

 

[LiK]

seriously, they don't even do this in Japan CEs.

 

[Zeliard]

Trying to milk the more dedicated fanbase.

 

[LQX]

Much rather a pet dragon.

 

[xelios]

Why would you pay more when you/mod community can create as many virtual items as you want for free.

 

[Xamdou]

This is a Collector's Edition.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

Of all the shitty CE statues in the past few years, this one is slightly less shitty in my eyes. Still, I learned from Halo 3 Legendary that I'd actually not rather have a giant piece of plastic to take up my precious closet space, especially if I have to pay this much more for it.

 

[Chanser]

Wow at that price, I'll pounce when they're in bargain bins.

 

[Smokey]

I am glad I'm out of my CE buying phase. Last one I bought was Halo Reach.

Just $60 for the game thnx.

 

[Cudder]

Fucking statues and art books. As long as collectors editions keep having pointless shit, I will not buy them.

 

[TheOddOne]

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

Good looking special edition, pricy though.

 

[projekt84]

Just watch deals sites like slickdeals a little while after they release this, it's sure to drop.

 

[MrFortyFive]

I want it, but I sure as hell do not want to pay that much for it. The artbook would be great but I don't care about the statue, so I'm not essentially going to pay $100 for a book.

 

[Xamdou]

Or on Black Friday!

Wtf dude...

 

[GenericUser]

what happened to the golden age of "shell out the good stuff to the buyers of he regular edition"?

at least a cloth map or a GOOD manual would do the trick. man, ridiculous times where are living in. As if 60€ would not be enough to fund such basic items!

 

[Zwei]

Both the Star Wars and Skyrim CE's look crappy to me. :/

 

[Zeliard]

Fucking statues and art books. As long as collectors editions keep having pointless shit, I will not buy them.

The art book is (potentially) cool. The statue raises the price dramatically and is fairly pointless unless you're into collecting those particular types of items.

If you pre-order the regular edition you get a Bonus Premium Physical Map!

 

[Subterranean]

I was going to buy the CE of Skyrim before the reveal but I am not impressed. Regular edition for me.

 

[LiK]

just read the artbook is 200 pages. that is pretty impressive.

 

[DryvBy]

The map is obviously there, but the press release doesn't say anything about a map. Hmm.

See the way to sell this game is : "Includes CLOTH MAP" Bought.

That's still not worth it. A cloth map? $90 for a stupid map (looked at once), an art book (looked at once), and a stupid dragon statue (dust collector) I can get in a mall for $10? No thanks. This literally is more than the price of the game, for some swag.

There's nothing anyone could say that could justify this price unless they admitted their irresponsible with money.

 

[projekt84]

Or on Black Friday!

Yeah, I can imagine Best Buy having piles of these things stacked to the ceiling for $99 or less on Black Friday.

 

[LiK]

i see amazon DotD for $60. seems like they've been doing that fairly regularly this year.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I'll take the steel cage edition

 

[xelios]

200 pages is impressive, but I might care more about the art book if the fantasy art in the series was not so generic. Still a no go.

 

[Souljiro]

Another $150 CE! don't think I can do it again already waiting for TOR CE.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Wtf dude...

Preorder Toy Story 3: Collector's Edition NOW! Only $199.99!

 

[SpaceHobbit]

Whoa whoa whoa, the regular edition doesn't come with a map unless you pre-order?

 

[Lunchbox]

150$?

yeah ok

 

[LiK]

Whoa whoa whoa, the regular edition doesn't come with a map unless you pre-order?

yup, cloth map is preorder only for the regular edition

 

[chazmonkey]

Ugh. I would be fine getting it if they had included just the full sized art book with the game for around $80. These statue editions are getting ridiculous.

 

[mjc]

Oblivion's CE spanks the Christ out of this one. A $150 dragon CE is nooooooot worth it.

 

[GenericUser]

If you pre-order the regular edition you get a Bonus Premium Physical Map!

i know, i already preordered it. But I still am angry about the fact that they seem to "throw away" a title like skyrim that way. I would be glad to pay whatever price they demand if the content of a so called "collectors edition" would be worth the price, but this is just a joke, nothing more.

i'd hope for something more special.

 

[Evolved1]

Steelbook, artbook, cloth map, behind the scenes disc... I would drop $99

Maybe a little more if the artbook is really nice.

 

[JWong]

Pretty good statue, but it's not at consumer range.

As long as they don't stock so much like Cat Helmet Halo.

 

[watership]

Perhaps every edition has a map.

 

[Oblong Schlong]

£130 Bethesda?

Fuck off please.

I speak as someone who quite enjoyed his (£40?) Oblivion CE with decently done lore book and Tamrielic coin replica, so it's not a dignity threshold thing.

 

[Blue Ninja]

Yeah, every edition of the game comes with a map.

The regular edition has a paper map. Pre-orders get a bonus cloth map. And the CE gets the cloth map, as well.
