Only $20 more than the standard edition for a good CE. Definitely buying it.

Dunno anyone that would seriously buy the more expensive one, especially since you pay $80 more for a mini statue. Have a feeling there won't be too many produced though, so it may end up rare, and resellers might jump on the opportunity to grab one.

Definitely buying it - figure Amazon would sell the book for 26.xx. Too bad Best Buy doesn't seem to count the CE's towards their 20 dollar reward zone thing.

I really don't like the trend of 2 different special editions where the higher priced one is missing something from the lower priced one.

Pretty sure they do.

I bought the Hardened edition of Black Ops 2 and I got the cert.

Praying this ends up like Max Payne 3 CE!! I would HAVE to buy one for $20, but I'd pay $60 for this easy.

We can only hope.

Following that blog link, they claim the statue is a $200 value (also of note, the art book will be sold separately for $40). Initially I was going to say that being a mild comic book collector, I've seen decent quality statues like these retail close to a $100 but I never would have thought $200. At that estimation, these things better be solid, and individually handpainted. (Probably a 'no' to both of those, however.)

Couldn't resist the post-pandemic edition. Steep but i've been looking forward to this game for so long and that statue looks to be amazing. I hope these are indeed limited unlike every other collector's edition out there

USA released Limited Edition software never holds its price, it just goes down because it's so bloated in the market...quality also sucks...both infamous and nathan drake statues were horrible quality for it's price. I mean...the freaking nendoroid puchi is better quality, by alot, and they are way cheaper.

The guy on Sony claims it's 200 dollars statue..yeah, selling at a lost...lol.

Not all NA CEs fall in price. Look at the MGS HD Limited Edition. It's been at twice the MSRP in the 3rd party market since its launch.

Or even Mass Effect 2 CE.

Although MOST NA CEs fall very quickly in price, there are the rare few that don't.

yeah, that's what i kind of meant...majority drops in price...

I dont know about EU, but Japanese ones usually hold it's price and never cheaper (most of the time) because it is indeed limited, usually only enough for preorder and launch month, at least for MSRP

and MGSHD was great, the book was awesome.

Also....most "statues" that come in usa ones are horrible - poor quality. they are all deformed in some way or doesn't represent what it suppose to well..usually the face.

i go for $79.99 survival edition, that big box one will drop in price just like all others.

that walking dead was gamestop exclusive and was suppose to be very rare yet i see a lot of stores around me have them

i learned this the hard way just but the regular edition than down the road get the limited edition for a lot less

wait, is the 79.99 (I do want that one) only gamestop as well?

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.

Uncharted 2 had a CE that was only given away and not sold at retail and those ended up selling on EBay for $2-3k. That's a reason why Uncharted 3 had a retail CE.

Definately getting the middle version (why didn't the middle version of Borderlands 2 come with a Steelbook, huh Gearbox?) to get the Steelbook and soundtrack.

For those wanting the GS-exclusive statue edition to drop in price, don't hold your breath. GS exclusive CE tend to hold their value and sell out before they can be clearanced, see ME 1, the Forza series, DoA 5, etc.

I'll be getting Survival Edition for sure, but the post-pandemic edition... why does it had to be GameStop exclusive only?! :(

This. Most USA statues don't use high-grade PVC like figures from Japan, and aren't quite as detailed imo. The only exception is the Batman statue from Arkham City CE, but that's made by Kotobukiya :/

Also, Japanese CEs do also tend to fall in price. Everything on the shelves in the picture is discounted special editions from a Hobby-Off in Beppu, a small city very far away from Tokyo. Limitedness in Japan is more dependent on popularity than quantity.

Well, if you look at the picture most of those are Bishojyo games, which is biggest in Japan but the demand of those games are still low....when say success....it's like them selling 25,000 copies or something cause they are so damn cheap to make.

At least from the ones I can see, they are niche stuff. I should've been more clear but I mean more towards the major crowd....

Like the Rockman 1-6 plus x7 goes for like 500USD average, about 65000yen in Japan...even after 1-6 already having a digital re-release. Metal Gear L.E.s are decently priced and valued as well (i actually liked that shagohad)

the one that was terrible was the Xenosaga 2, that's a legend in its own sense wwwww

what's up with all the GameStop exclusive steelbook and now CE

i wish the steelbook was different is should been a red one not a black one and that would nice if GameStop has a exclusive pre-order steelbook (maybe red one)

i buying both when it comes out
