With only 1000 made, It's 150 bucks and after shipping and tax? (I'm in Georgia and got sales tax added) it went all the way to 171.95.

It Includes:

Special Ultra Limited Edition packaging
Dead Space Downfall Animated Movie (DVD)
Bonus content DVD
Exclusive lithograph art
97-page Dead Space art book written and illustrated by the development team
160-page Graphic novel
Ishimura crew patch

It does not include an actual space suit which you would assume would come with a 150 dollar price tag.

As insane as it sounds, I may get one if I can find a picture that shows the "Special Ultra Limited Edition Packaging". UPDATE: I preordered it but I'm not so sure considering the box is pretty underwhelming. Anyone else thinking of canceling their preorder?

[Ryuukishi]

That's a big investment for a game/movie/comic book IP that has no fans yet because no one's seen or played it before.

No kidding, nothing like pricing it higher than even the Halo Cat Helmet edition--sure no signs of a getting in on the ground floor discount. Of course, there were like a million of those made it seems.

[cochesecochese]

Booo. As hot as the game looks there's no way I'd pay $170 for it with a bunch of extras I can't even get an image of.

[Fatbot3]

I'm actually really excited for the game but I think it is rather insane to think you can sell something like this without at least some compelling pictures. Just breaking it down in terms of costs:

Game- 60$
Movie-20$
Graphic Novel- (likely)20$
Art Book- free with preorder

Thats leaves the patch, lithograph, making of dvd and the mysterious "limited packaging" covering over 70 bucks.

That better be one hell of a package if I'm going to purchase it.

That's what I was thinking. There is still about $40 there not accounted for.
Game+DVD+Novel+SE = 60+20+20+10 = 110. So why 150 EA.
I maybe would have considered it with 120, but 150 is just robbery.

Guess I might as well rent this game, seeing as its a single player game, but looks mighty fine though.

[danh920]

where do you find this at?

[Oxygen]

where do you find this at?
It is on the EA Store (http://eastore.ea.com/DRHM/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=DisplayProductDetailsPage&SiteID=ea&Locale=en_US&ThemeID=718200&productID=106790800).

Lithos can be moderatly expensive, anywhere between $20-$50 depending on size, but obviously thats when you actually purchase one instead of doing implied value like in this case. I agree its a stupidly high amount for any game especially, as stated, one that nobody has heard of before.

It reminds me of Run Like Hell, which i personally enjoyed, but it was recieved terribly. Doesnt look like this is going to bring anything to the genre. Hopefully gore and cheap scares isnt this games only selling point, otherwise i could easily recommend picking up The Thing for much cheaper and giving that a play through.

The Dead Space game -$60-Great, i paid retail when it will probably be $30 in 6 months

Special Ultra Limited Edition packaging -$0-Since when do i pay a premium for the outer box?

Dead Space Downfall Animated Movie (DVD) -$5-Watch it once, then throw it away. Im sure the production values arent poor.

Bonus content DVD -$0-Personally i never use these. Some wallpaper and skins, perhaps some dev commentary on why a monster has 5 arms instead of 3. Boring.

Exclusive lithograph art -$10- Lets get real, what are the odds this is going to be wall worthy let alone frame worthy?

97-pg Dead Space art book written and illustrated by the development team-$5- Or i could go to Bestbuy and get this for five bucks now.

160-pg Graphic novel -$0- Fantastic idea. Im buying a game where all i do is run around blasting aliens to peices and they give me a book. Are you serious? What fool is going to sit down and read this? By all means if you want to read, READ, but this is scraping the bottom of the barrel as far as reading material goes.

and lastly

Ishimura crew patch -$0- Serves zero purpose unless you decide you want your ass kicked so you ask your mum to stitch it to your fanny pack.

so by my estimate $75 is what this LE should cost. The rest is filler garbage. No wonder its so limited.

[mkernan]

Um.... I hate to be "that guy", but this is not a deal.

[Monroeski]

The Dead Space game -$60-Great, i paid retail when it will probably be $30 in 6 months
What you'll pay in half a year has no bearing on what it goes for new at release.
Special Ultra Limited Edition packaging -$0-Since when do i pay a premium for the outer box? People have been paying premiums for tin boxes for years now.

Dead Space Downfall Animated Movie (DVD) -$5-Watch it once, then throw it away. Im sure the production values arent poor.DVD is listed on Amazone for $20 right now.

http://www.amazon.com/Dead-Space-none/dp/B0018TAFQ6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1222354971&sr=1-2

Bonus content DVD -$0-Personally i never use these. Some wallpaper and skins, perhaps some dev commentary on why a monster has 5 arms instead of 3. Boring. "Personally" being the key word; lots of people love this stuff. I happen to enjoy commentary.

Exclusive lithograph art -$10- Lets get real, what are the odds this is going to be wall worthy let alone frame worthy?Same deal as above, though personally I'm not into lithos as much as I am commentary.

97-pg Dead Space art book written and illustrated by the development team-$5- Or i could go to Bestbuy and get this for five bucks now.Pretty much agree here.

160-pg Graphic novel -$0- Fantastic idea. Im buying a game where all i do is run around blasting aliens to peices and they give me a book. Are you serious? What fool is going to sit down and read this? By all means if you want to read, READ, but this is scraping the bottom of the barrel as far as reading material goes.
I've already read it, and it was pretty damn good actually. I'm a whore for anything by Ben Templesmith, though.

Assuming they sell the graphic novel separately when they compile the actual comics, which I'm sure they'll do, it will sell for about $15 minimum, probably closer to $20. The comics, I think, were $3 each, and for 6 of them that puts this at $18.

Ishimura crew patch -$0- Serves zero purpose unless you decide you want your ass kicked so you ask your mum to stitch it to your fanny pack.
Pretty much.
so by my estimate $75 is what this LE should cost. The rest is filler garbage. No wonder its so limited.

The price is at $103 only counting things I can find an actual real life price for right now (Game, movie, comics, art book). Throw in the patch, case, litho, and bonus content, and it probably still doesn't add up to $170, but it's well over $75.

[ryosnk]

I'm a collector but that is too much for too little.

[Teqonix]

The only reason I would even consider purchasing this would be if the limited edition packaging was a scale model/replica of the Ishimura, and it'd have to be fairly large for this price.

Waiting for a picture, but this is a lot of dough to blow on a game that hasn't proven itself yet.

[LiK]

not a deal, but thanks for the heads up. preordered.

[bigdaddybruce44]

I like how some people have gone to the complete opposite end of the spectrum and act like this should be $10. $150 is a bit steep, but considering the content and limited run, well, this is what you get. I'm excited about Dead Space, but I don't know if I want to put this much down into an IP that could end up blowing. Then again, if this ends up being a good franchise, this LE could skyrocket.

I put in with my almost useless EA connections to try and score a picture. I'll post if I get it.

I mentioned it because at a limited press of 1000, it could be a good investment if the packaging ends up being impressive, the graphic novel becomes hard to come by, and the game becomes the start of a hit franchise.

Also to note, most people have said the comics and dvd actually do support the story and universe rather well. Here's a destructiod review of the DVD thats not too shabby. (http://www.destructoid.com/destructoid-review-dead-space-downfall-104069.phtml)

That's a lot of if's though.

I'm typically a sucker for these packages but even this is too rich for my blood. Man these LE's are becoming insane. Amazon's 50$ clock and now this... what's next?

[LiK]

dont worry about it. buying CEs as investments is a pain since you never know what will become popular. i buy LEs/CEs cuz i love collecting them and if i need to pay a premium for extra stuff, i'll do it. if they find it too expensive, that's their problem.

but once again, i'm glad you let us know about this. i had no idea EA was offering this.

[Gspoon]

what i want is
1 the game
2 160-pg Graphic novel
3 Dead Space Downfall Animated Movie (on BluRay)
ps3 for like 60-70

an maybe the Bonus content DVD (depending what is on it)

[UberNinjaz]

Not interested in anything else besides the game + the fact I have to buy outside of Amazon & Neweggs further discourages me.

[InvaderZim]

might be the next BioShock ltd. edition... but this does not come with a cool figure.

I don't think anyone thinks the Limited Edition should cost 10 dollars.

[SynGamer]

Any pictures of the actual LE?

[bigdaddybruce44]

I don't think anyone thinks the Limited Edition should cost 10 dollars.

I was exaggerating.

[themidnighter23]

might be the next BioShock ltd. edition... but this does not come with a cool figure.

yeah, that pretty much deems this "limited edition" a fail

[Antic]

I'd bite at $100, but that's even pushing it with my wallet.

[ZackScott]

Total with tax and standard shipping: $173.50

I have it preordered now. I hope I can cancel if this turns out to be ultra lame.

[etcrane]

So I noticed the LE is going to have a movie, a comic book and a few other things that flesh out the story. My question is, will this game have an actual story (aka meaningful cut scenes) or will it be one of those annoying games where there's some huge mythos created by the dev team to sell random crap outside the game but you don't get any sort of real plot development in the actual game itself outside of "go here, kill this, oh look someone left a text note or wrote on the wall". THis seems to happen alot with shooters and action games, and it's always disappointing ...

[heavy liquid]

I preordered it. I usually don't buy limited editions, but made an exception for this. Mainly for the reason that it's truly limited. And very limited at that. I've also been following the development of this game, and have been looking forward to it being released.

Like others, I'm not sure what the extra $90 is going towards. Sure there's a book and a litho, along with a few other knick knacks, but none of it feels really special. Not an extra $90 bucks special. Certainly not like the Bioshock CE and upcoming Resistance CE (both of which I bought/preordered).

If I'm not blown away when screenshots of the packaging and contents are released, I may cancel my order. Ultra limited, or not. We'll see...

[Serpentor]

So, people order stuffs as long as it's really Limited huh? For one thing, it's not even a sequel, so there's no fan base. For another, it's freaking $150, are you kidding me? Add another $50 and you can buy a X360...

Yeah, i know i ordered the Lancer with Gears 2 LE for $150 (original price w/o promotions), but i know i'm getting a Lancer replica and i know Gears don't suck.

1000 copies is Limited though :)

[ryanmassacre]

im very tempted for this the game looks good and the limited edition is hooking me but its still an EA game so im up in the air but i know im gonna be hating myself when this LE is selling on ebay for hundreds of dollars

[62t]

I bet you can get it on ebay for like $60 in a few months, espically if the game get low review score

[ItsaMeMario]

i've heard nothing but good things about this game, but $150 is way too much...

say this game is a hit (as it probably will be)...how much higher can this thing possibly go for?

[cochesecochese]

Even if the game is a phenomenal hit I can't imagine you getting more than $200 for it on ebay in the future.

It looks like a good game but it just doesn't look like it has the potential to be a 'legendary' franchise like RE or MGS. Look at GoW or the GTA IV special editions. Didn't hold their value.

[CoffeeEdge]

holy crap.

must be a pretty badass box or something.

Those weren't even close to limited, though. I can still walk into stores around here and see stacks of GTA4 special edition.

[Maromi]

It's just like the monopoly of EA to charge $150 for something like this. No thankies.

[rainking187]

Already preordered. This has me wondering though, I thought the Downfall DVD wasn't supposed to come out until the end of October. Are we going to get that two weeks ahead of everyone else or are we going to be waiting an extra two weeks for our game?

[CoffeeEdge]

EA is not a monopoly. Please retake economics 101.

[morphineseason]

I don't really understand how this can be limited to 1,000 if practically all of the included bonus items are available separately. Why not continue bundling them past 1,000? It might be worth what it is if each set was personally signed by a developer or something, but considering this is the first title in this series, chances are nobody knows or cares about anybody working on the game at this point.

[cochesecochese]

That box is going to be amazing. Just you wait and see.

[SniperREX]

That box is going to be amazing. Just you wait and see.

I hope so. I just pre-ordered one :drool:.

Simple, it's just like Rosenqueen does with their limited edition packages. You will be able to buy most of the pieces separately, but the box that they come in will be limited and possibly the lithograph. It's not something I'm interested in, but I can see how they can limit it very easily.

[ItsaMeMario]

considering how limited & expensive this is...

are you people who are buying this even gonna open it up & play it?

[thrall]

Yeah if you have enough to buy this limited edition I would fork out 60 more for the regular version to play. Why would you open it?

[opportunity777]

If there is no special box or something to keep the stuff inside, then this is a piece of shit.

[Masterkyo]

Most EA game drop down price quickly. I'll wait for the review instead blind buy (too many great games coming out this year) or possible i'll get it whenever it drop down $30 or less. No way i spend $150 for LE version ;)

[xcopy]

I buy mostly every LE anything out there, but this is the only time I think this one wont be worth it.

[imacgod]

Must be pretty amazing packaging.

Sorry, but this might be one LE/CE/premium-priced-box I'll have to skip.

[opportunity777]

I would not be surprised to see more of these from EA. They need to gear up for that inevitable pay-out for their stupid decisions resulting in the Spore CAL.

[Richard Longfellow]

"A fool and his money..."

This is the LE fad carried to its logical conclusion. "Let's see what these morons are willing to pay when we drop the production numbers."

And if they sell out, by Christmas there will be a $300 LE game. But it will have, you know, two patches.

[Maromi]

EA is not a monopoly. Please retake economics 101.

Ouch. I was exaggerating the fact that EA just keeps buying out developer after developer.

No need to respond like that. :roll:

[menikmati]

Is there a wang-hole included?

[Kerig]

I heard a rumor that the box is made out of Astronaut Ice Cream and then wrapped in Plexiglass.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8a/FREEZE-DRIED_IC_slice.jpg/180px-FREEZE-DRIED_IC_slice.jpg

This was the 2nd best thing about going to the Kennedy Space Center, but still not worth $150.

[sendme]

I buy mostly every LE anything out there, but this is the only time I think this one wont be worth it.


I'm the same way to a point. If it is something that I know their is a 90% chance I will like or if the first one I liked I will get the LE or CE of it. However this I know nothing about the game and have only seen one screen of it that I had to find on google. So for the price what you get and not knowing much about the game I'm not buying. Hell I dont even have much more room for LE/CE sets. I had the gun that amazon has that you can get with Gears of War 2 and I just canceled that due to price and lack of room. Also it seems like a toy and I see them selling it even after the game comes out.

Anyway back on topic this is just to much and nothing shown yet. I would like to see what it all looks like befor I even think about buying.

[mietha]

Game looks like shit, but I'm buying the movie on Blu Ray. To EA: if you have Warren Ellis write a script for you, and you then admit you threw most of it out, that's not a very good sign to, oh, say, ANYONE!

[Radioactive_Man]

Pre-ordered mine right now. Lets see how this turns out.

[yukafls]

Sounds cool, but I need some pictures first before I dish out the cash.

[zenintrude]

160-pg Graphic novel -$0- Fantastic idea. Im buying a game where all i do is run around blasting aliens to peices and they give me a book. Are you serious? What fool is going to sit down and read this? By all means if you want to read, READ, but this is scraping the bottom of the barrel as far as reading material goes.

[jollydwarf]

From Page 1:

That's a big investment for a game/movie/comic book IP that has no fans yet because no one's seen or played it before.


It strikes me that EA is trying to make Dead Space this year's Assassin's Creed, minus the, um, jaded use of a relative sexpot as the legitimate game producer pimping 'her' game. That is to say, they're trying to manufacture the culture of a AAA franchise before the general public has played even one minute of it. I'd like to think that this game will actually be good, however, so maybe the analogy breaks down there.

[MrNEWZ]

No kidding, nothing like pricing it higher than even the Halo Cat Helmet edition--sure no signs of a getting in on the ground floor discount. Of course, there were like a million of those made it seems.

I'd like to note that the Halo helmet does not actually fit on a Cat's head.

Not that we've... umm... tried it...

[Ziv]

I'd like to note that the Halo helmet does not actually fit on a Cat's head.

Not that we've... umm... tried it...

I have. It's way too big. Medium sized dog helmet? Yes. Take out the inside plastic and it's fits kids too. Someone on here posted pics of that last year I think. But I'm not looking for it.

[Ryuukishi]

That is to say, they're trying to manufacture the culture of a AAA franchise before the general public has played even one minute of it.That's a good way to put it. They forgot the most important part though: Announce that this is only Part 1 of a planned trilogy. :)

[Venkman]

All I want is the artbook. If someone else gets one and doesn't want it, I'd be happy to buy it off them. Drop me an email through the site and I'll take it off your hands via paypal. :)

[Gadgetron]

I ordered one last week and here is my reasoning:

1. I was going to buy the DVD anyway
2. Finding all 6 issues of the comic books it proving to be difficult for me [at least finding them in good condition @ cover price] and I want to read each issue.
I know that the comics are on xbox live however after reading the first 2 issues I can tell that there are part of the story missing [nothing major, but the web comics are not 1:1]
3. the Lithograph! for starters some of Ben Templesmith art is amasing so I hope the litho is cool.
4. the patch just looks cool :)

all in all this seems worth it to me at least. if you add it up [and I am being conservative here]
DVD: 15.00
Graphic Novel: 20.00
Game: 60.00
----------------------------
you are already at 95.00.

[MrNEWZ]

[maximus101]

With this economy, who the fuck are they kidding with this 150 dollar price tag?

[mhnajjar]

I do not see why since they are making only 1000 out of it so it would be EXTRA rare.

I am a collector so ... I would get one :)

[bojay1997]

I do not see why since they are making only 1000 out of it so it would be EXTRA rare.

Except this seems to offer very little for video game collectors. Most of the extra items are comic books and art pieces. The fact that you can buy most of the items separately makes it really just a package deal on some promo junk that most of us would never buy, let alone spend an extra $90 plus tax and shipping to obtain.

[hostchecker]

Wow that looks like a great special edition

[zenintrude]

yes it is!

[Fatbot3]

why no Blu-ray movie why dvd

It's a 360 only LE apparently so Blu-Ray would be a little odd. If there was a PS3 version I may have more inclined despite amazon having the DVD and Blu-Ray priced the same.

I'm keeping an eye out for pics as well because I preordered and I will cancel or return the LE if the packaing doesn't turn out to be a fully functional hoverboard.

[bojay1997]

that sucks i guess i'm not getting it at all

[Strider Turbulence]

If they could knock this price by at least $50, I'd probably grab this. I just wish a more established franchise would do something like this.

[NJMane]

There is no way they will sell out this. Look at Halo 3 special editions (which has a huge following). They hit $100 and then $60 very very quickly. This will do the same. IF they drop the price I may think about picking one up.

[Strider Turbulence]

There is only 1,000 of these. Halo 3 (and 2) Limited Editions were like 100x that and they flood the market.

[NJMane]

There is only 1,000 of these. Halo 3 (and 2) Limited Editions were like 100x that and they flood the market.

True but that also had a MASSIVE following. This is a brand new game for a niche genre. At $90 above the cost of the game it seems as though its a hard sell. You have to be established before you can expect to get that much for a special edition you dont even show a picture of.

Wrong. The reason sales have been sluggish thus far is because the game has not been released yet. After it drops and the reviews start coming through (in addition to an invariable LE unboxing spread) the rest of these will move. If the packaging turns out to be something I could actually fit on a media shelf I may bite. The game just looks that good.

[bigdaddybruce44]

Really can't compare this to most other "limited" editions. Even if this series is not a big hit, 1000 is a very, very small production number (think of it this way...only 20 people in your state will be able to get this). You won't see this long after the game is released.

i wouldnt call third person survival horror games "niche"

[Guerrilla]

Unless it has something at least on par with the Big Daddy figure... no thanks.

[furyk]

Unless it has something at least on par with the Big Daddy figure... no thanks.

And that LE was only $10 more then the regular edition.

[necrojustice]

First of all, this is way too much money.
Second of all, I'll wait for the "Special Unearthed Second Batch" of 1000 they'll release after the game turns out good :)

[Ice2Dragon]

Unless someone from EA comes in here, says who he is, gives us pictures of all 1000 and gives us proof there are only 1000, no thanks :(

[leesiulung]

These things should be numbered, that instantly raises the value. Needless to say, it has been a week now and they haven't sold a 1000 yet... you can still pre-order it. I say it is a dud, kind of like the PS3 MGS4 Limited Edition console. You can now find them on ebay for slightly less than MSRP. Even worse Konami sold them below MSRP at comic con when a signing was going on!!! @!$#@!$#@#

Oh, well my PS3 looks cool and is silent. Should have gotten the 60GB like my brother. I would be playing PS2 games now.

[cochesecochese]

Special suits (http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20081001005430&newsLang=en) for those who buy within two weeks of release. I like.

[gr8asianman]

With this economy, who the fuck are they kidding with this 150 dollar price tag?

Well, you could say that about any game really.

I personally think of Force Unleashed. How could they charge $59.99 for a game that was not only short, but glitchy. Not that it was a terrible game as I thought it was justifiable at $40 used with a GS coupon.

And, when comparing this 'ultra-limited edition' to the Halo 3 Legendary those were over produced was available at a number of retailer as this limited edition is only available through the EA store. Kinda like the Fallout 3 Survival Edition & GOW2 Lancer being only available through Amazon.

Perhaps they'll have replica helmet as the ultra limited packaging. :rofl:

Personally I think the mystery is part of the allure.

[rainking187]

They updated the page for this. The box everyone was wondering about is...a box. A foil box, but an average box nonetheless. I'm still buying it though because I'm a LE whore, and the game looks awesome. Slightly worried if EA is going to start doing more insanely priced limited editions. Luckily there's only two more EA games I'm interested in this year, Mirror's Edge (and the free bag looks better than the expensive bag), and Left 4 Dead.

I'm doing Fable LE, which I'm happy was downgraded because I don't care for figurines. Also going for the badass Fallout LE considering the lunchbox is an actually cool collectible.

I'll get the Gears LE as a Xmas present (sans crazy chainsaw gun) I imagine but as far as even more overpriced version of games I think that covers it.

How can you tell what the box looks like? I went to the page on the EA Store and it just looks like an insert with the name of the game photoshopped out. Isn't that just a sample insert and not the actual box?

Alas, no. That's the box.

The packaging looks like shit for $150 plus. I am a total LE whore, but I'm not convinced that this game will be rare.

Where's the bit that mentions the box being gold plated? I cannot seem to find it...
</joke>

This thing is a little lame and a total rip off IMHO.. no pre-order from me..

edit: I just figured out why they made it super limited at only 1000 available... because they seriously doubt they could sell more than thousand of this thing at that price..

[charlescheese]

That sounds like an enormous rip off.

[kidrocklive]

it looks just like an old pc game box lol

[heavy liquid]

UPDATE: I preordered it but I'm not so sure considering the box is pretty underwhelming. Anyone else thinking of canceling their preorder?


I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the limited edition is completely disappointing. I have the art book from Best Buy for $5. It looks like they just threw whatever tie-ins and promo stuff they could find together for it.

I can't find where to cancel the pre-order on their site, although it does say that pre-orders can be cancelled. So I responded to their confirmation email telling them I no longer want it. The game looks good, but this is one LE I'm passing on. Especially for it's outrageous price.

[Guerrilla]

The price almost makes me believe that they'll add something else in to make it worthwhile. However, I'm not about to drop that amount of money on a speculative pre-order. As the current package stands it's only pricey because it's limited, and that makes it crap.

I agree, I don't collect lithographs and paying shipping and tax on CAG has to be some sort of sacrilidge.

I think you only have to email in for the cancellation so I'm doing that. I think I'll probably get the movie on Blu-Ray and even the Graphic Novel but that will save me 70+ bucks in the end.

Hmm, no response to their email yet. I hate it when stores make it extremely difficult to cancel an order.

Their stupid site states that pre-orders can be cancelled, but of course fails to mention how to go about doing so.

[Ice2Dragon]

If they did it for the PS3, id pay the 150.. but not for the 360 :(

[Teqonix]

Nah, can't see myself getting this. The box and extras just don't add up to $150 in my eyes. Maybe $100, and even that feels like a stretch..

[paean]

A bunch of crap (OMG SPECIAL BOX!!!) for a $90 markup. LOL, I rather get the Gears of War 2 with the replica lancer for cheaper.

[mhnajjar]

Guys, did you see the Dead Space HELMET?!?!?!?

It was on yesterdays GameSpot show On the Spot next to Kristen.

I think it would be included in this edition.

It looks way cooler than Halo's sucky helmet.

No, no it's not included. Stop trying to hype this like you did with the allegedly limited edition version of Tales of Vesperia. It comes with what is pictured and listed. Nothing more, nothing less.

[rainking187]

There's some sort of Dead Space web game called No Known Survivors, and from what I understand the helmet is the prize for the person with the highest score.

[shuma gorath's pupil]

These collectors edition prices are just getting out of hand. I wish they'd just go back to $49.99 prices and charge and extra $10 for special editions. It's getting to the point where if you elect to get a collectors edition now you are almost dropping $100 for a single game. That's too much.

[Bandit64]

You do realize that regular games used to sell for $90-$100, right? With inflation, that'd be even higher. If you think it's too much, don't buy the game, or buy it used. This isn't exactly difficult.

Is this particular CE a ripoff? Yeah, but so what? If people are willing to pay, so be it.

[mhnajjar]

No, no it's not included. Stop trying to hype this like you did with the allegedly limited edition version of Tales of Vesperia. It comes with what is pictured and listed. Nothing more, nothing less.

I am not trying to hype anything.

BTW, TofV LE is really limited. Just go check Amazon's stock now ;)

[NJMane]

Wow, the pictures made the deal worse. Atleast when they did not have a picture people would imagine something sweet. Putting the pictures up killed this. Thats alot of CRAP for $150. They will not sell out.

[FloodsAreUponUS]

That is correct but I still think there is something that they did not announce yet regarding this edition, because what they are offering is worth $100 not $150 so go figure!

[heavy liquid]

Okay, I give up. I've emailed them and spent over an hour searching their site.

At what point did I say I had a lack of money? It was a generalized statement about the price of collectors editions these days and you, in typical forum troll manner, see it as your place to provide a smart ass unapologetic response. As if I didn't already know what games used to cost, which hasn't been the case for the last 2 generations. In case you forgot, NEWS FLASH "This site is called CHEAP ASS GAMER" Just admit it bandit64, your a smart ass! End of story. What other dipshit would take issue with somones generalized non-aggressive opinion on the matter. Feel free to continue responding with your diatribe of garbage. You in additon to being an arrogant prick, sound like somebody who has to have the last word on things too so feel free. I have nothing more to say to you, but I wiil offer you some free advice. Learn how to be more understanding of people's opinions, and take your head out of your ass.

[Bandit64]

And in return, I shall offer you some free advice as well. If you spent less time posting and getting internet outraged like some 'sperging tard, maybe you'd be able to afford these special editions.

I dunno, maybe your Gamestop forces you at gunpoint to buy special editions instead of regular games, in which case I apologize profusely. Since you have nothing else to say to me, I guess this is goodbye!

[Fatbot3]

I would like to know this too -- every email address I have for EA cannot receive incoming mail.

I had to email them through the stupid customer support and finally got a response that should allow me to cancel. Man, it has been a huge pain in the ass though.

I'll follow up if it indeed is canceled.

[mhnajjar]

Why are you cancelling?

edit: nevermind, I might also cancel my pre-order because I am not interested in the DVD or the novel and the graphic book comes free with the regular copy.

I'll get the regular game + blu-ray way better and maybe I'll buy the lithograph if it turns to be must have.

I never got a response to the reply I sent 2 or 3 days ago from the order confirmation, either. I'm going to try calling the number that Xbox Mole posted tomorrow morning. This is really frustrating.

[POG]

Its worth 150 because its limited to 1000 copies. Look at all the people who pay for intelligent cube or Suikoden II. Do they pay for those games because they have pretty packaging?

EDIT: It also comes with a hand signed Lithograph. That could up the value.

-joseph

[Jackalope]

Not only that but you can get the artbook for free for preordering from GS. Probably the only thing in the collectors edition worth having anyway. I'm still not preordering as any true to form cheapassgamer stopped preordering games years ago.

[heavy liquid]

I'm still not preordering as any true to form cheapassgamer stopped preordering games years ago.


You're right, "true to form cheapassgamers" don't preorder. But when free pre-order bonuses are given away, that changes things. You may have to put down a $5 deposit, but you can almost always later get it back.

Not to derail this too much, but take the Castlevania Anniversary bonus (http://blog.wired.com/games/2006/12/castlevania_pre.html) from a couple years ago. This was a free pre-order bonus that now sells for around $80 on eBay if it's sealed. Just the bonus... it's not even with the game.

None of this applies to any "limited editions" though, since they usually cost more than the standard edition, and may or may not turn out to be a good investment.

Anyway...

[cdietschrun]

The problem is this is a new IP and who knows if anyone will give 2 shits about the game in 6 months, not to mention the people who made it. That's why $150 is crazy.

[qwerty1]

well i feel that even if it were an established franchise that the $150 is simply because of the small run. Personally i look at what they're giving you and see a run of the mill $70-$80 Collector's Edition so essentially you're paying double that simply because someone thought it would be a good idea to do only 1000. Personally when i buy a CE its for the novelty stuff. I may rip a soundtrack to my collection, or flip through an artbook. I dont however give a damn if its limited to only 1000 or 10. If i want to actually collect something i have other hobbies [which also make more sense] to fulfill that need.

[bigdaddybruce44]

This is most certainly not a regular limited edition. You get the game, the DVD (which is listed at $20 on Amazon, though I suppose that will drop), and the graphic novel (a decent graphic novel is going to cost you around $15). That stuff alone is worth about $90 in my book. Throw in the other crap, and that's gotta at least get you up to $100. So, you're paying $50 for the "limited" part. Not saying it's worth it...just pointing out that this isn't the standard "extra DVD, nice packaging" limited edition.

your values are bloated in my opinion. As i said they're novelty items. Look at the Bioshock CE. They added $10 on and gave you a resin statue. I could just as easily turn around and say they should of tacked on $60 for that statue but if they did they'd make that CE look a hell of a lot less appealing. You shouldnt be buying a CE and be able to tack on fixed high values for each item they're giving you in order to justify the bloated cost. Another case in point the Halo Legendary, horrible value and was even available later at more than 50% off.

[POG]

I have a solution for this problem:

If you don't think its worth the price then DON'T BUY IT. If you think that it IS worth the price then BUY IT. Who cares? Don't try to justify it either way.

-joseph

[depascal22]

what i want is
1 the game
2 160-pg Graphic novel
3 Dead Space Downfall Animated Movie (on BluRay)
ps3 for like 60-70

an maybe the Bonus content DVD (depending what is on it)

The movie would push the cost up to 75-80. A LE with all that would probably go for $79.99 or

[shuma gorath's pupil]

Correctamundo, but no idea why it's 360 only. Perhaps 360 exclusive? :lol:


It's becuase they're pretty much pandering to the console with the largest install base. If you look at the NPD numbers for software, it pretty much is nothing but Xbox 360 titles with maybe one or two Wii and PS3 games sprinkled in. It's not smart to put out a pricey collectors edition on a system with fewer supports. Remember, the PS3 is still dead last for now in the console race. That factors in to developers decisions regarding things like this.

Just to clarify, this isn't a pro xbox fanboy rant or anything, it's just a fact.

[bigdaddybruce44]

your values are bloated in my opinion. As i said they're novelty items.Your entitled to your opinion, but it's clearly wrong. The DVD is up on Amazon for $20. That isn't my opinion. That's a fact. Yeah, it's the same price as the BD, so you can probably drop that to $10 to $15 if you want. And a 160 page graphic novel is a "novelty." Someone had to write the story...someone had to illustrate it. It's not a 10 page mini artbook. A graphic novel like that is going to cost you $15 to $20.

Again, whether or not you want to spend the extra money over this being limited is your business. But it's not opinion that this isn't a standard collection. It comes with things that have some value.

[ivanctorres]

Here i'll help you understand my logic. Would you pay $80 for a CE with the game and the DVD or the same price for a CE with the game and a book? Nobody in their right mind would, certainly nobody who considers themselves a CAG, so why would you defend it with the same logic by tacking on infalted and stupidly high costs for each item in order to defend what is clearly a massively overpriced item? I could care less if Amazon is listing the DVD alone at 20 bucks. Im sure they'll sell 10 copies to people who wipe their asses with money all day. That doesnt justify the additional cost on the CE one bit.

[oasisboy]

Um.... I hate to be "that guy", but this is not a deal.

I honestly wish I had a clue as to what the hell you are babbling about. Considering you apparently don't know, though, and can't comprehend the simple fact that this isn't the standard limited edition, I really don't know what to say. What's so hard about wrapping your small head around the fact that you're getting a FULL-LENGTH FILM and a 160-page graphical novel? Those are not the standard bonuses that come with a limited edition. Please, show me the $70 or $80 LE that came with such things. I'll wait...a long time...a very long time...because they don't exist.

[bojay1997]

I really don't agree with the creation of a new category of collectible that seems to be occurring here. At what point did we all agree on a definition of what constitutes a "normal" special edition and what goes beyond that? In my mind, taking consumer products that are available elsewhere for the same or lower prices and putting them in a fairly generic box is a bundle and not a special edition at all. It's like going into your favorite retailer when a new console comes out and being forced to buy a bunch of stuff you might or might not buy otherwise and the retailer wraps all the stuff together in an outer packaging. If I buy a 360 or PS3 bundle at Costco, is that a Special Edition?

We live in a world where cheap labor results in DVDs being pressed for $1.00 each and bound books being printed for a dollar or two each. Just because something is listed on Amazon for $20 doesn't mean anyone will buy it at that or that's what it's worth. Most special editions I own come with a second DVD and some kind of art book nowadays. In fact, my copies of Soldier of Fortune Best Buy Edition for the 360 and Stranglehold for the PS3 each came with a full-length Hollywood movie as one of the premiums. In both cases, these special editions only cost $10 more than MSRP at launch. My copies of the upcoming Atlus PS2 releases will each come with 100 page full color art books and free soundtrack CDs, so in these cases, the special editions didn't cost anymore than a regular release game.

In my mind, when I buy a special edition, it's because it comes with things I can't get elsewhere. Sometimes it's just a steelcase box or maybe a different cover insert or maybe a bonus disc with behind the scenes footage. Maybe it's a lithograph like the one that comes with Dead Space. Whatever it is, I just don't agree that there is anything "special" about this particular special edition and certainly nothing which would justify a price 2.5 times more than full MSRP for the game alone.

[bigdaddybruce44]

Wow, witty comeback...

I just don't agree that there is anything "special" about this particular special edition and certainly nothing which would justify a price 2.5 times more than full MSRP for the game alone.

I don't think anyone is even arguing that the price is justified. Still, to say that this is worth $70 or $80, as some have tried, is simply silly. The game alone will retail for $60. How the rest of the stuff is only worth $10 or $20 is beyond me. You're getting a movie and a graphic novel...on top of the standard crap (bonus DVD, packaging, other extras). I really don't care if you personally or I personally don't want them. It still has value. There are plenty of products out there that I don't want. It doesn't mean they become worthless because I don't want them.

Bottom line, this isn't "bonus DVD, artbook, different box" LE. If people can't see that, I don't know what else to say. The proof is right in front of your eyes.

[Radioactive_Man]

Has anyone decided to pick this up?

Me, when I get it I'll take pictures of everything it came with.

I'm thinking about ordering another one.....

[CoffeeEdge]

It's a good thing that this isn't the PC version because I'd have had a hard time resisting.

If it was $100 I'd have gone for it anyways.

But I have to get Red Alert 3 Premier, Fallout 3 Collector's, and FarCry 2 already, so...

[Fatbot3]

Don't think anyone is brave enough to admit it here. :D

I, the noble poster who started the thread had originally preordered it hoping it would come in an extremely nice case. For example, I beleive the press are getting an incredibly bad ass helmet and better package for the final review.

I usually buy LE's based on extra content that can't be purchased otherwise. Because I'd rather own the Blu-Ray and buy the graphic novel seperately and don't care for lithographs or figures, that put about 50 bucks on the package quality. If it had been a steel suitcase similar to the RE5 edition I would have considered it.

Since it wasn't I have enjoyed the incredible pleasure of trying to cancel an order on the EA Store, which is nothing short of impossible.

[Quintox]

Finally, after putting in my request to cancel the order on October 2, it is now done. I went ahead and put in an order at Gamestop yesterday since they were offering free overnight shipping.

[Promophile]

We really aren't going to get anywhere by arguing about this. When it comes down to this special edition we have two kinds of people.

"Gamers" (god, I really hate using that term) who are looking for VALUE VALUE VALUE and bonus items that they will actually use. You know, the kind of people that actually put those stickers bundled with Guitar Hero all over their controllers, and most likely tossed the oversized box the game came in as soon as they opened it.

and

Collectors, like me, who will get it because it's an ACTUAL LIMITED EDITION (1000 units). I think a lot of people are overlooking the point that this ISN'T going to be another Halo 3 cat helmet fiasco.

However, I think we can all agree that $150 seems steep for the content we're getting. I'm going to venture a guess that if this doesn't sell as well as EA hopes, they'll drop the pre-order price or add more swag. Either way, it's an extremely limited edition of a extremely hyped Survival Horror game, I can't resist.

[etcrane]

So how bout that Amazon Fallout exclusive edition ... which do you guys think will be more "collectable?"

[VipFREAK]

1. wtf is this game.

2. it has a early price drop? hmm... clue one.

3. LE for $150? ha ur so full of shit... This is EA caliber crap. <--- what do ya know... it is EA (who called it... ? ha)

I'm sick of companies trying to hype there lame as shit up when it doesn't deserve squat... This falls under limiting beta codes in my book.

Early price drop? What are you talking about? Did I miss a price drop somewhere?

[VipFREAK]

Not the LE, but the regular version. As for where? dunno... just remember it somewhere. Frys?

Anyway, saw video on Youtube... oh, it's EA again... That explains EVERYTHING. lol as for creatures... come on. really? :cough: FEAR/Condemned : cough:

[CoffeeEdge]

1. wtf is this game.
The question is wtf have you been, that you have never heard of this awesome-looking game?

2. it has a early price drop? hmm... clue one.
What?

3. LE for $150? ha ur so full of shit... This is EA caliber crap.
Videogames in general for $60? I think that's full of shit too. Bawwwww.

Go check out Japan why don't you. Konami is full of shit, thank you very much.

This falls under limiting beta codes in my book.
Because beta tests are totally the same thing as free demos.

[CoffeeEdge]

Not the LE, but the regular version.
Uh, the MSRP is still $59.99. Any stores selling it cheaper are doing that on their own.

oh, it's EA again... That explains EVERYTHING. lol
You are so hip and edgy and alternative.

as for creatures... come on. really? :cough: FEAR/Condemned : cough:
How the fuck could you compare this game to FEAR or Condemned. How the fuck.

The thing is, collectors for the most part are passing on this one simply because it's not really a limited edition game. It's a package of extra stuff that is mostly available elsewhere in a very generic looking box. If the box at least had the Xbox 360 logo and something like "limited edition" on it, I might bite. However, they are just giving you the standard version of the game and not a special cover for the game itself. The only two items that haven't been confirmed elsewhere are the litho and the patch. Are those two items worth $150 to a collector? I don't think so. Frankly, it makes no sense that they are limiting this to the 360 since that box and those items don't have anything to do with a particular version of the game. Even the DVD movie is a standard DVD. I won't dispute that they may actually only sell 1,000 of them, but to me it doesn't count as a limited edition simply because it's a bundle full of items anyone can get in large quantity for the same price or less elsewhere and you're just getting the standard version of the game in a box that isn't even 360 specific.

[bigdaddybruce44]

From what I got...it's because the game has...CREATURES!

Look, we can argue that it's a horrible value, but don't argue that it's not a LE game. You admit it comes in a (generic) limited edition box, and has items that you can't get anywhere else. how is that not a LE?

[game_fanatic]

EA will sell 1,000 of these. Guaranteed there are enough collectors out there who will shell out the cash. Out of the millions of gamers in Canada and the US, there WILL be 1,000 people who would want this for its "Limited Edition" moniker.

Because the game itself is not a limited edition version. When you buy limited edition games, you either get a box or an insert that describes it as such. In this case, they are giving you a separate box for the stuff and a copy of the game. It's exactly like a Rosenqueen bundle and as such, it's not a limited edition, just a bundle that may or may not have a limited box.

[$hady]

Was looking forward to this game until I saw the designer come on X-Play to show off his game. Looked ok I guess. The whole zero gravity super jumping and flying through the air from one wall to another and then straight across the room in any direction and walking on walls and magical time freeze crap ruined it for me. Then I saw the enemies he was fighting and they reminded me of doom. He goes on to talk about oh yea these are strong but wait untill you run into the black variation of them those are stronger, same exact thing just different color... I'lll still rent it on my game pass but prolly not at release I wanted just some dude not magical mystery man.

A few points

1) For a game to be a "SE" by your logic, all it would need would be an insert that says "ZOMG SPECIAL EDITION". By your logic all that EA would have to do to make this bundle a SE would be to toss the discs into the bigger LE box and toss the retail case. That's silly. I could see your point as valid if this bundle consisted of a few bonuses tossed into a shipping box, but it's not, we have a LE box.

2) This bundle contains more bonuses than most other SEs, comes in its own special box, is limited to 1000 pieces, has items that CAN'T BE OBTAINED ELSEWHERE, and is purchased directly from the manufacturer. Yeah, that doesn't sound like a SE to me :roll:.

3) this isn't exactly the same as a Rosenqueen bundle. First of all, most RQ bundles consist of Japanese swag that could be bought or was given out as pre-order bonuses in Japan. There aren't many items that RQ has made specifically for the US, and, more importantly, there are NO LE BOXES that contained the games + bonuses (you could argue that MK did, although it was just the Japanese premium ed. box).

[LiK]

not sure why people are trashing this LE. as if this is any different than what is offered in Japan. this bundle is comparable to the KonamiStyle bundles where it's only available from the publisher's site and only limited quantities were made. people used to complain that the US doesnt get any LEs like Japan. now that more companies are producing LEs that are similar to Japan, people bitch about it.

noone's forcing anyone to buy these LE bundles. if you don't like it, move on.

I also emailed a request to cancel my order on October 2, but have yet to hear back from them. Good to hear they actually got back to you. Guess I'll give it another day or two.

[Shinjiru]

How did you do it? I'm having a terribly hard time canceling and don't want mine shipped.

Select "Contact Us" on this page:
http://help.eastore.com/cgi-bin/eastore.cfg/php/enduser/home.php?p_sid=OfbnxRfj
You will then be asked to log in.

Then this is what I did:
Platform: Xbox 360
Game: Army of Two (Dead Space is not listed)
Category: Purchasing -- and then in the new box that pops up -- Order Change / Cancellation / Status

Then I just filled out my order information and asked to cancel it. Put in your name, email address, last four digits of the credit card used, date of birth, zip code, and reason you want to cancel.

Good luck!

That's weird. I saw the same piece on X-Play last night and also decided that this is now going from a buy at the TRU sale or other retailer to wait until it's $20 a year from now. It got pretty strong reviews from the playable versions at various game shows, so I guess I'm now curious if there is more to the game than what was shown on X-Play. As it stands, it looked very derivative and average. Even the enemies looked super generic.

It's a limited edition package. There, happy?

[Rebelphoenix]

That's way to much money for a game that looks that mediocre. I wouldn't spend 120 or whatever it is for Fallout 3, and I actually want that. This just seems like such a waste.

[redshadow]

Anyone buy one and receive it? Was it worth it?

[bryenfury]

wow price tag is a bummer.
If no one buys maybe they will have it on clearance ;).

[veronesepk]

I ordered it, haven't received it yet.

[POG]

I received mine today. Debating on whether or not to open it. Seeing how its worth over 300 bucks already on ebay I don't think I will.

[sliknik27]

I got mine today, and wouldn't dream of selling it. I'm a collector.

[Z(+)DIAC]

Wow, so EA actually moved all of the LE units?

Makes me start to believe that we aren't in a recession...

you had doubts? most of them will probably flip them

[Z(+)DIAC]

No matter if they flip them or not, it's sad that there are at LEAST 1000 people out there who don't mind blowing $150 and up on a beyond mediocre Limited Edition game in a new and unproven franchise...

[Z(+)DIAC]

On that note, you do know you can still purchase it via EA's store...

[jaydepps]

The game does look like it is gonna be great though. Not sure I'd spend 150 dollars on it,(I'm very cheap, refuse to spend more than $30.00 on a game.)

dont tell the fools on ebay. havent you heard? this is worth $300!

Give it a week or 2. When the suckers bleed off this thing will be going for less than MSRP. I've seen many titles selling strong during their initial release only to be reduced to bargains.

NOTE: Its been sold out for a while.

This is what we call in the business a lie. EA still has this in stock and has never been sold out. It has allowed me to add up to 30 to my cart since two weeks ago, so I am guessing this is not really the quantity left, but just an artificial limit. As for Ebay sales, a total of three have sold for $300 while one sold for $250. There are about 10-12 up now with BIN in the $300 range, but they haven't sold. Most of the ones that are close to closing are right in the MSRP range of $150-$170 with shipping.

I was going to take pictures of the stuff inside but instead i'm going to keep it sealed since I also bought the regular version of the game. Yes I spent over $230 on a single game.

Also funny thing was that EA said that the game was going be sent via FedEx even though it came via UPS.

Open it up! I cancelled mine so I have to live through you guys. I suppose I could buy it considering it says its still in stock but I gotta see the graphic novel and lithograph to be tempted again.

[bigdaddybruce44]

Damn, after getting just the regular game, I wish I would have gotten this LE. This is my favorite new IP of the year. Can't wait to check out Downfall on Blu-ray.

[bojay1997]

Open it up! I cancelled mine so I have to live through you guys. I suppose I could buy it considering it says its still in stock but I gotta see the graphic novel and lithograph to be tempted again.

Do a quick Google search and you will find links to a site where they unboxed one. Sorry, I don't know how to do external links. The graphic novel will be available for separate purchase next week at comic stores. The litho looks cheap.

[LiK]

got mine today as well, still sealed tho. i'll open it over the weekend. i'm glad i got it cuz reviews have been crazy positive :)

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a140/likchan/deadspacele.jpg

[BLarR]

EGM's quick glance at the game had me thinking it was a bust. Glad to see that it might be legit. I've been wanting this one since Game Informer first blew it out of proportions.

[POG]

The ones "in-stock" now are probably from the people who canceled their orders or orders that couldn't be finalized.. They just recently became in-stock (after the launch day). My card wasn't charged till it shipped so I am assuming some cards couldn't be charged.

[heavy liquid]

The ULE is huge. It's much larger and nicer than I was expecting.

What's with the "Great PC Deals" post-it?

Still looks "meh" for $150.

It's not mine. That's the dude's name: I grabbed the picture from his eBay auction.

[fnord]

Looks like it's still available @ EA. Tempted to buy and flip but that always ends up with me opening and keeping the game.

[rexflexall]

They could have at least included the cat helmet like Halo 3 for that price. Wanna get the game but don't care much for all that extra 'stuff'.

[Gameboy415]

Damn, it looks fantastic.

If they had a PS3 version I'd bite!

[Xfactor19990]

hmm to buy or not to buy

[Electric Blue]

Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but they are individually numbered too (not on the box, they include a card).

[HockeyDOg3133]

I ordered yesterday. I was charged but does ea send me a email or anything like that. All i got was the receipt page on ea's site. Did you all get a confirmation
email when you ordered?

[sliknik27]

You should get a confirmation email and then a shipping email when they send it out. Be sure to check your junk folder, just in case.

And by the way, this is one of the coolest LEs I've ever seen. I think the reason it's back in stock at EA Store is because a bunch of people canceled preorders right before release time and the system updated itself after a few days.

[ryanmassacre]

sucks cant order one dont know why but i guess i dont even know if i really want it i guess the site made up my mind for me

[ianoid]

They could have at least included the cat helmet like Halo 3 for that price. Wanna get the game but don't care much for all that extra 'stuff'.

LTMN (which is laughed through my nose, which is about the best I can hope for since very little on the nets makes me laugh. Which is why LOL should mostly be LNOL (laughed nervously out loud)).

I just ordered one. If they release way more ULEs I'll be pissed. It's either because one day I'll collect 360 as a completionist, or for resale. Can't decide whether or not to open it. Problem with this as a resale item is that most of these LEs will just go to resale eventually anyway, resulting in dilution and devaluing. How many people like me are stupid enough to keep such an item like an heirloom? With the way positive IGN review, I'm hard pressed to feel bad about owning it with the intention of playing it.

[lingenfelser]

Yeah, I was on the fence about this.
But the shitty quality of the Downfall animation sealed the deal for me.
So, $150.00 is too steep for me.
Game,
Artbook,
Patch,
DVD,
Lithograph,
Comic

The Amazon Fallout 3 LE is a better deal IMO.

Had there been a Isaac Clarke or Necromorph figure... I wouldn't have blinked twice!

[SniperREX]

Also funny thing was that EA said that the game was going be sent via FedEx even though it came via UPS.

Ditto :lol:, they even gave me a wrong tracking # :lol:.

I think I'm gonna resell mine and just play with a rented copy from GF.

[AZPunisher]

Just ordered myself a copy from EA with a $15 discount!

It's good to be me. :D

[mhnajjar]

How did you get that discount? I couldn't find any coupones for the EA store!

thanks for the pics, i had to see if the autographs were mass printed or not, looks like they're different which means they signed them. but i have no clue WHO signed them, lol

[heavy liquid]

Looks like EA.com is sold out of them. And looking through the completed items on eBay, five of them have sold already for between $250-$320.

I would imagine that the going price will only go up, given that they were so limited and the game is excellent. Despite what some people may whine, being able to double (or more) your money in two weeks is an excellent investment.

I was disappointed along with others that their wasn't a better exclusive for the LE, but I do have to say that it's a nice package. And with the signed lithograph and signed and numbered card I can easily see why people would want to buy it and collectors would want it, whether or not some people feel the price is justified.

News flash: If you think it's a rip off, don't buy it. There's a ton of stuff I don't buy for this very reason. Grow up.

[opportunity777]

I made it to the last checkout page with no problems.

[SteveMcQ]

Wow...an LE for a non-established franchise. Artbook, patch and DVD that you'll look at once and throw back in the box. Signed material from a development team whose hit titles include The Simpsons Game and MySims Kingdom. Sounds like a great deal to me.

[redshadow]

Doesn't seem like it can be ordered anymore. It brings back an error when you add it to the cart.

[GaryZero]

even thought I love the game and will probably buy the movie I would never pay 150+ for it. Besides I got the artbook free with my preorder. The book is very nice too.

[Ziv]

Slightly on topic, this LE is about 15 dollars an hour for the game and some free bonus stuff. I Would have liked to have gotten on of these, but definitely not $150 worth for me.

[mhnajjar]

I pre-ordered using PayPal and then cancelled my order because I found that it is not worth even $100 with all the crappy included stuff.

EA did not refund me my money yet and even after filing a dispute, they are still holding my money.

I am waiting for PayPal to act and get me my money.

It is strange that EA is trying to rip me off but this is what is going on. I have been waiting since the 4th of this month.

[POG]

Limited to 1000 copies. Can anyone think of any other release that was limited to 1000 copies? Seems like this will be really rare.

Apparently, it is very rare and in high demand. People are already paying double the retail price for it on eBay. As much I was interested in Dead Space, I couldn't see much spending the $150. And now, despite the fact that DS is easily my favorite new IP of the year, there is no way in hell I would spend $300+ on it.

[Come Dawn]

It's too bad that I already preordered Dead Space for my ps3 a month ago only in the regular addition. If i'd known this piece of art was coming out I would have surely bought it. In other words, buy the special addition. The game is fantastic! I picked up my pre-ordered copy on Tuesday when it was released, and I had it beat by Sunday!!! It's not that it's a short game, it's just really fun and quite frightening, more-so than RE4, which I am a huge fan of. A must have for any survival horror, rpg, TPS!!
No kudos points for complete originality here, but Dead Space is one hell of a game. Buy the "Ultra Special Addition" while you still have the chance!!!

Looks like this was a wonderful investment after all. What do all you haters think of that?That there will always be dumbasses on eBay that will pay anything for any item out there.

Half of those auctions have no bids, and only two of them have any real bidding going on.

[bigdaddybruce44]

In all fairness, there have already been a bunch of the LEs that have gone for over $300 on eBay.

[Z(+)DIAC]

Either way it's a well known fact that rarely does it pay off to purchase video-games to expect any true future investment. And to be honest, with a new franchise such as this, I doubt it will be worth much down the road...

On that note, anyone who spends nearly double/triple of the retail price of this ridiculously lackluster LE has far too much money and little sense as to what to spend it on.

[Promophile]

That there will always be dumbasses on eBay that will pay anything for any item out there.

Half of those auctions have no bids, and only two of them have any real bidding going on.

Do a search for completed auctions. Also, of course most LEs aren't worth it, they aren't real LEs. There is a difference between saying "Item X is a LE" and "Item X is a LE, and there are only 1,000 of them".

The LE was probably a good investment since its one of the better horror games to come along in quite some time and will likely spawn a few sequels.

If this ended up being a "Jericho" kind of game I really doubt the LEs would of held their value.
