leave those pennies as they maybe gamestop still manages to sucker us into trading in games to them quite often so clearly they are doing something right. if only they had a refurbish machine like best buy that made their used games look like new.

do you really want me to spell it out for you? what i really meant is flip

It's a shit CE, anyway. This is definitely a situation where the cheaper one is better. The statue is lame; all statues are lame. The build quality and detail of these pack in statues always leaves a lot to be desired. The artbook, however, looks quite nice. It's too bad they took it out of the $160 one. It really just feels like a dirty, dirty cash grab. :/

Has The Last of US Survival Edition been listed anywhere yet? Or did that also sell out?

Dark Horse will sell the artbook separately. It's MSRP is $40 but you can bet it'll probably be $25 or less on Amazon.

Gamestop has the Survival Edition listed and still available. I haven't seen it pop up at other retailers yet, but I would expect it to shortly.

Totally agree. No offense, but I always find the included statues just horrible. Even better is the fact that the other stuff iin the Survival edition is actually great. Definitely a huge jump from the Uncharted 3 version that had no art but a Drake action figure that could collect dust in my attic.

Thanks. I don't know why I didn't look there...

I seriously can't accept that the Post Pandemic edition wouldn't have the artbook at the $160 price range. Spending that much on JUST a statue is bogus.

Quick comment though wheres the posting on the DEFIANCE editions? I can't really wiki so I'll leave this link here. http://defiance.com/en/pre-order/phy...CAS_REDIR=true

No matter how much publishers will insist they are limited (didn't Max Payne 3 even have a cutoff date for the CE because they were going to be so limited?), they rarely actually are. There have been some truly limited GS exclusives, so we'll see. They would really have to make these to order (based on preorders) for that to happen.

Way to go nostradamus!

Try to avoid providing commentary on CE availability in the future

And to answer your questions Bioshock and Assassin's Creed come to mind.

I posted the Defiance stuff a few pages back: Linky

I don't know why everyone keeps saying it is outrageous to spend $80 on a statue. Figure collectors spend that much and way more on figures and statues all the time. For example:

http://www.hlj.com/top/Fig
http://www.amiami.com/top/page/c/bishoujo.html

It's great when we can all get a cheapass discounted CE with a figure included because it is overstocked (eg, Skyrim CE for $50) but that is simply not gonna happen every single time.

^ Yeah he's right. Serious collectors will drop $300+ on quality statues and prop replicas but typically those are limited and numbered to about 500-1000.

Are they out of TLOU Pandemic already?? Shoulda ordered two right away. I hope they come back in stock at some point, if only for a little while.

Edit: I'm getting antsy with the Survival Edition also now...worried for some reason Amazon won't get it. They sure are being slow with getting it listed. Edit again: apparently everyone else is slow with listing it. Why is it only on Gamestop.com??

Lolz - I keep checking this thread to see if any of other Amazon sleuths have found it yet. Have not seen it listed just yet. Soon though.... right?

I broke and ordered one from Gamestop just in case. Close to $90 with tax and shipping. Bleh.

if you are worry, just preorder it at gamestop. It is only $5 deposit if you preorder it in store. I mean it is only been two days since the initial announcement.

I felt the same way when I first saw the different editions being released in North America. If a higher tiered edition is being released, it should include what a lower tiered edition contains, plus extras.

Seems more like a strategy to get collectors to buy both editions.

you realize you can buy the artbook / guide separately for around $40, right?

It will be restocked before release.

Derp. Figured you'd change your tune from "OMG this is going to be just like UC3".

Those of us that actually follow these type of things noticed that this had everything going for it to be limited at worse and truly rare at best.
