Uncharted 4 Special Edition is a joke.

TGO

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.

So a Steelbook , a Artbook, some ”Stickers" and a few MP items
Guess how much?
£99 fucking pound
http://www.game.co.uk/en/uncharted-4-a-thiefs-end-special-edition-775745?

I am I over reacting?

Is anyone actually getting this version?
 
Pretty much. I was gonna pick this up if it was like £55, but the RRP is a joke so I'll stick with the standard edition.
 
I usually find any limited edition is a waste of money personally speaking. Is your experience with the game really going to be any better with some annoying statue taking up space?
 
Yeah that's a shame.

Halo 5's CE is a joke too. I want the steelbook and REQ items but I'm forced to pay $100 just because of some stupid ass statue. Other option is spending like 250.

I remember spending 5 extra to get the halo 2 collectors edition.

Collectors editions these days are a joke. Especially with these ridiculous price conversions you guys get overseas.
 
Welcome to special editions. Add a shitty statue and it would jump to $150. (going off of US cost)

Edit: I googled... Should've guessed that they already announced a more expensive version.
 
It's the patented Naughty Dog Greed.

On the other hand, I'm surprised that the digital deluxe edition (includes the season pass) is priced very reasonably, at least in my country's PSN store.
 
How the hell is that £99 in the UK? In the Netherlands even the most expensive price is only €80,-.... For reference, with the current exchange rate you could get the Libertalia edition for that price.
 
To me it seems like they've made that stupidly expensive so that people'll look at the edition with the statue and be all "it's only 20 quid dearer, I might as well get that one."
I got the Uncharted 3 special edition (the one that's case was a cardboard version of Nate's journal) from them for £45 when it came out; this doesn't seem like it's any better than that in all honesty, or at least not goddamn £55 worth of extra stuff.
 
That's maybe a cool preorder/£5 extra edition but £99 is atrocious.

The edition isn't that bad but the pricing is whack.
 
Its GAME overpricing it because no doubt thats what they did to secure the SE exclusive to them. Happily it means any decision to get it automatically taken away from me...

You guys sure are getting fucked in EU. I used GCU to bring it down to $68 at Best Buy, then applied the $10 card I got for buying TPP.
 
Holy fuck, I was thinking of getting this, what a rip off.

The bloody Halo 5 one is cheaper on GAME and it comes with a little statue >.<

I hope it's just GAME fudging around with the prices.
 
GAME is selling a Disney Infinity 3.0 for £99 because it has a Boba Fett figure. It £99 for a PS3 version also I was looking for GFs son for a birthday gift but fuck that no matter how much he likes Boba Fett
 
Amazon Germany lists the one with the statue currently for 199&#8364;...so I guess we are the ones getting screwed over the most. Pretty sure it is a placeholder, but still...
 
If I remember the one with the Statue is £150.
I don't mind if this version was £60 and the Statue Version was £80-90.
But I just can't justify that price.
 
People who buy special or collectors edition are rich, so this kind of exploitation especially from GAME is not surprising. They will buy it no matter what, and most items in special editions are a waste of space. They're for collectors to display and take photos of for online bragging rights.
 
Stop being a chump in buying all these inflated ridiculous special/limited editions of games. They are not collectables, games are not some limited edition comic.

They are games and you are buying games for the content on the disks not the physical package. They are designed to milk more money out of chumps.

I have owned a bunch of collector edition items and never once took a picture of any of them to brag. I'm also not rich
 
Is the steelbook made out of gold?

There is this version though for £120

As for going on about GAME this will be the RRP so it matches with the prices for the same version around the world, when there have been Special Editions, Limited Editions & then Collectors Editions, the prices have gone up in stages;
£40 normal version,
£50 special edition,
£75/£85 limited edition,
£100+ collectors edition
These prices are always the same wherever the game is from.
