Thanks but we have a mega CE thread for these announcements

I may bite on the SE if Amazon gets it. I dont know who would spend $80 for a statue.

Wow, Uncharted 3 gets a steelbook and now Last of Us? Naughty Dog knows what we want from their collector's editions! I definitely want the survival edition for the steelbook and art book. Don't care about the multiplayer dlc. Seems odd that the game even has multiplayer.

The survival edition comes out to $59.99 from best buy for gamer unlocked members after the $20 reward certificate so I'll be getting it there.

the vanilla from best buy with the $20 credit and potential future price adjust seems the best route.

I love big boxy editions cause they drop in price due to space limitations.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you are paying $80 for the statue.

pretty much spot on hopefully it is not super limited. might shell out the extra 20 though for the regular SE

Try $100. That edition doesn't even sport the art book, but everything else you'd get for the $80 edition.

Holy shit, just read about some people wondering if there was a special edition coming out, and of course there is. Thanks for the update OP!

Of course the overpriced version is from Gamestop. That's worth $100 at most.

The regular edition with $20 BB Reward Zone and price match is the way to go. If I want a statue maybe I will pick one up on ebay later. The art book looks really nice but I assume that edition will not be on sale within 60 days of launch.

Man, why doesn't the one with the statue come with the artbook as well? If it did I'd buy it.

If you get the collector edition are you able to price match if the regular game goes on sale? Like if it goes on sale for 40 than you get 20 bucks back or no?

Nope. The same SKU has to be on sale to get a PM at Best Buy.

Horrible CEs, is there a comic about this already or is it being done for the games release?

$20 more for the Survival Edition? I will get it. Now the Gamestop overpriced crap can kiss my ass. I am running out of room for statues unless I get rid of some.

Wat? You mean just the $160 statue but no artbook version, or both?

Survival Edition is good. Heck I would pay $10 more for almost any game if it came with just a steelbook so the artbook is just a bonus for $10 more.


Naughty Dog must feel pretty good about this game though to have all these CEs. Uncharted was a new IP and did not have any CEs as far as I remember.

I'd prob. get the SE condition also. But just an off-topic question, what do you guys do with the original game artwork (and possibly game case, but assume that will be reused for other games) when games have the option to come with a steelbook version? I've always wonder that...
