There are two special editions? Oh the difference is the LBP Sackboy skins depending on which one you choose. Dualshock 3 skin? I guess that's cool.

 

[7threst]

Are you new to Special Editions?

There is absolutely nothing in this special edition worth the extra price. Not even a physical soundtrack. Most special editions have at least something you want. You'd think they would put a little bit more effort in the special edition of the Last of Us.

This doesn't sound bad, I may get it.

 

[Jarmel]

This better come out in the US.

 

[EekumBokum]

What is the chance that we will receive a special edition in the US?

What is the chance that we will receive a special edition in the US?

We're definitely getting a SE. The question is about the quality.

That is certainly more appealing to me than dlc and something to deface your controller with and doesn't seam to have as much of an over-inflated price either.

I'll take the artbook over a statue anyday. I love the price for what you receive as well.

 

[Stark]

I really want the Ellie one.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

No hardcover artbook in the 150$ edition is pretty odd. Ill take the survival edition, especially since that makes it seem like the game is just 40$.

 

[TripOpt55]

I'd rather have the artbook than the statue. I'm surprised that for all that extra money you don't get both in the Pandemic one. Well I will be grabbing the Survival Edition. Good price on that one I think.

 

[Toki767]

While I'd really like that statue, I can't justify paying $70 extra just for that.

 

[iiicon]

$20 more for a hardcover artbook, steelbook, and digital soundtrack? I'm in.

 

[Dead]

170 page hardcover artbook?

yes please. That is how you do a special edition.

 

[TripOpt55]

That artbook looks awesome.

 

[Killthee]

No hardcover artbook in the 150$ edition is pretty odd. Ill take the survival edition, especially since that makes it seem like the game is just 40$.

I think its cause they're planning on selling the statue by itself for $200.

 

[Loudninja]

Very nice price, this and the GOWA SE has been price reasonable.

 

[The Wizard]

The game + Full size artbook is all I'd want, I wonder if we'll get that in Europe.

 

[Jarmel]

Goddamnit.

Shitty statue would make this an auto-no buy but the Ellie and Joel skins...

Still no way due to lack of hardcover artbook but wow this is awful.

 

[EekumBokum]

Nice, going for the Survival edition as well. Artbook > Statue anyday.

 

[Jarmel]

I despise the new trend of statues. Who keeps these things? They're almost never valuable, poorly made, and just take up space.

 

[ShinoguTakeruKoeru]

Remember when they first announced the preorder DLC plans for The Last of Us? The Survival DLC Pack was announced for Gamestop only, so methinks if you preorder the Survival Edition with the artbook from them, you'll still get the DLC with the alternate Joel and Ellie skins that are in the Post-Pandemic Edition.

 

[Stark]

Is there anyway to import from EU?

 

[Seda]

$149.99 was changed to $159.99 for the Post-Pandemic edition.

 

[Midnight Phoenix]

Is there anyway to import from EU?

Ebay, mail-forwarding and I think GAME must ship to USA.

 

[LastNac]

Well damn, Survival seems like the way to go, but dat statue...

 

[LiK]

i like both US SEs....gaddamit

gonna settle for the Artbook one. i'll wait for reviews for the statue instead.

 

[Toki767]

$80 extra just for a statue with no art book...Survival Edition for me.

 

[Lord Error]

Yikes. Way to destroy any kind of tone and atmosphere set by the SP by having a multiplayer that has these things. Post-apocalyptic world; fighting for survival..and people running around leveling-up.

Yes, you can ignore the MP but this is one of the things that just knowing it exists and there's this version of this 'world' is enough to leave a sour taste in my mouth.

MP in games like this is like "Making of" for movies. It has absolutely nothing to do with the 'world' and is just there for fun, if you want to play it.

 

[sappyday]

I'll definitely be getting the survival edition.

 

[Killthee]

Goddamnit.

Shitty statue would make this an auto-no buy but the Ellie and Joel skins...

Still no way due to lack of hardcover artbook but wow this is awful.

The MP DLC pack is exclusive to Gamestop in the US. You can preorder the Survival Edition from them and get both DLC packs.

Thanks. For GAME, does this include Canada?

 

[Vilam]

Define "full size" art book. If that means DVD case size, I don't think we see eye to eye on the term.

 

[FINALBOSS]

So for the Euro CEs, the Ellie one looks way better than Joel's face.


Since I'm in the US, I'll def be splurging on the Survival one. I can't fucking stand tacky statues and for 20 more bucks I'd say that's a pretty solid deal.

 

[Killthee]

They're selling the book by itself for $40 so I doubt it'll be DVD size.

 

[Midnight Phoenix]

http://www.game.co.uk/en/info/Deliv...&brdcrmb_trail=Help&langId=44&catalogId=10201

Yes. But as I remember they have limit for package size for international shipping, I am not sure.

Yep. "We are unable to ship orders outside of the UK over 1000g. This includes all hardware orders."

 

[EekumBokum]

Damn, I need those skins.

How is Gamestop with shipping? Does their stuff come undamaged for the most part?

 

[LiK]

fuck it, gonna preorder the statue one just in case. if unboxings show the statues are ugly or low quality, i'll just return it.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Well sod it pre ordered the US version (I'm a sucker for Steelbooks and proper artbooks). Knowing my luck with GameStop US Royal Mail will have this held at customs for weeks.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Pretty weak special edition, in my opinion, although the box-art for both of them is pretty cool.

 

[Ponn]

$80 artbook sounds great, now that is a LE. Love me some artbooks. Hardcover too with steelbook game case.

 

[Lime]

Will Europe get a hardcover artbook edition as well?

 

[FINALBOSS]

Damn, I need those skins.

How is Gamestop with shipping? Does their stuff come undamaged for the most part?

What does that have to do with Gamestop? Lol

 

[SlipperyMoose]

I will get just the standard edition. I couldn't care less about multiplayer bonuses and digital content. The artbook is cool, not worth the price for me though
