Tempted to get the MK Tournament Edition. Only 20K units could make this very rare.

Thanks OP. Very usefull addition to CAG. Regardless of the semantics of where things belong, this is usefull to many people, and will cut down on the unavoidable clutter that will be there anyway, so I think it should stay in the deals section. Getting a limited time item that has a potential to increase in price is still a deal.

There's nothing quite like telling the GS employee that you want to put $5 on his BOS.

When I pre-ordered this last week the two employees gave me High Fives for the way I phrased it.

The socom 4 bundle is the truth plus best buy is offering a $10 pre-order bonus(reward zone) along with the $10 gamers club for spending $150 on gaming. This is on top of the regular reward zone point & if your a silver member another %. If you don't have move but want it this is the best deal and buy the time this comes out there will be several top tier titles available for PS move. Basically $130 for this is great now if only TRU or Target offers a gift card for purchasing Socom that I can price match @ BB and I'll have to buy more than 1.

Thinking about it more, it seems odd that Killzone 3 didn't get a similar move bundle. It's said to have one of the best Move implementations available, particularly with the Sharpshooter gun. And I'd imagine KZ3 is more appealing to a wider audience than SOCOM 4 will be.

If anything they could have sold the bundle for both games.

Agreed, if they combine a deal with MAG for like $5 or $10 they could really boost sales plus look at the current available lineup for move time crisis, RE5, heavy rain, dead space extraction, KZ3 & MAG. PS move heroes, sorcery are also coming I wonder if uncharted 3 will work with move too.

hilarious...but I usually just say I want to pre-order the special edition

I put my faith on Sony for 2011. Here's to hoping their exclusive list keeps growing, more move enabled-game so that it doesnt become a gimmick is a plus.

Deployment on Socom is honestly the ONLY LE/CE/SE that has come out within the last couple of years that actually has content thats practical instead of the backwashed trinket/artbook/pens and pad *i'm looking at you Zombrex* that you look at once or twice before shelving it.

Perhaps even expanding this thread to include all offers/promotions along with each LE/CE/SE coming out in N.A

I didn't know the MK:TE was only 20,000. I might have to preorder another one on the 360. Having the stick that is made for MK would be nice to have on it as well. Bad thing is all the extra stuff not with the LE/TE/preorder is all on the PS3.

amazing thread.

This is probably old news, but if you haven't checked your local GS stores lately, they might have some Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (limited edition) games for 29.99 still.

Drop happened a long time ago, but I just came across it on their website and apparently three stores in my area still have copies.

Here you go another one to add (maybe for a limited time only):

Thanks to dragonxeric at SD who found this:

Capcom.com has both & versions of Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds back in stock ($69.99)

version
version

EDIT: I read in the other thread that people were not getting FS. I added 1 version of the game to the cart but it showed $5.70. I added another one to the quantity and it now shows FS. So I went to the homepage and saw this

So it is FS on orders $100 or more.

Also if you sign up for their newsletter you get a 10% off your next purchase code

You can see those 2 banners at the store homepage.

I'm glad you're doing it. Thanks.

I totally agree, I was seriously considering getting the SOCOM bundle simply for the savings and the gun but I don't need the camera.

My hope is to get a 3D tv when they have a decent 32 inch on the market and go all out with the game and the gun.

is this thread going to track the price drops of collectors/limited editions? I'm more interested in those. I'd rather pay 30 dollars instead of 100 haha

Thanks for this thread. I had no idea about the Socom move bundle. I pre-ordered it since I had been wanting a Move anyways.

I have the Kollector's Edition of Mortal Kombat pre-ordered but that's only because I have get the Kollector's Editions for MK games. Personally, I'm getting kinda sick and tired of these "new" special editions. I miss the days of collectible packaging, making-of DVDs and soundtracks (on disc, not digital). It very rare that you receive something like that these days.

In the case of Mortal Kombat, I bought the Premium Pack for Deception, the Steelbook Kollector's Edition of Armageddon and the Kollector's Edition of Versus DC Universe. Now with this new title, you get a plain-Jane case accompanied by useless junk like statues and art books. I know certain people love that kind of stuff but I just don't have the room for mini books, statues and giant-ass busts of characters' heads.

I look at the special editions being released in the UK lately and I'm completely envious. Their MK is coming with a Steelbook... their LittleBigPlanet2 and Killzone 3's came with Steelbooks... hell, look at that awesome F.3.A.R. set that's coming out over there.

One of the last special editions that I purchased was God of War III. I thought it was awesome that it was coming with Pandora's Box. I was definitely disappointed when I opened up the packaging to see a cheap plastic box with a felty liner that left little dust particles all over the place. Other than that, I bought the special edition for Castlevania because of the awesome packaging with a soundtrack on disc and LittleBigPlanet2 because my girlfriend wanted the Sackboy stuffie (which ended up being super tiny with a deformed head). I'd really like to start seeing special editions again that feature style over substance!


EDIT: The SOCOM set is amazing, though. Yes, it features regular packaging but the deal that you get for everything that comes with it is incredible. If I didn't already own a PS3 EYE and a Move, I'd be all over it! If you don't have the Move and accessories yet, this is the set that you need to buy. Your wallet will thank you in the long run!

The DNF Balls of Steel is back in stock at Amazon.
