Dead Rising 2 High Stakes Edition
- Thread starter eliter1
- Start date
[quote name='NocturneManiac']I like this one better than the Zombrex Edition too, but only because I like the theme pack and the Poker set is pretty cool. Can't justify getting it though since I don't play Poker at all and don't see me really getting into it, so it'd be just a glorified knickknack collecting dust on a shelf somewhere. However, if I did play Poker occasionally, would be a much better buy. And I'm not spending $30 for that theme pack when it's probably going to be on the marketplace later on with the Ninja and Sports one, for much cheaper.
I do love Dead Rising and probably would have shelled out some cash for a limited edition, but the ones offered are just not appealing enough for me to find it worthwhile.
([/QUOTE]
To be honest, if I were to get collector's edition like this, I probably don't buy it for its 'play' value. I get it for 'collector' value. Why would I want to buy this edition just so I get to play poker with the cards in it? Buying a deck of card cost you like a dollar. I buy it to collect it sealed (except the game).
I am amazed when people were complaining about the Super Scribblenauts headphone preorder bonus, they go all rational and look at it based on the quality of the headphone sound quality, instead of how fancy it looks and relates to the game's style.

why the 
wont they just make a "i never played dr1 so were adding it with this bundle" that id pay extra for not for a poker set. dlc character they will probably sell later or add to a gh version of the game. all i want is to be able to play both games on my ps3 then id gladly pay full or a reasonably inflated price.

Exactly, which is why you shouldn't be buying overpriced games. How about saving your money instead of going broke everytime you pre-order something?

Look at it this way - the higher the price, the fewer will sell, thus increasing your odds to win the zombie statue (I wonder what it's made of!?)

Excuse me? Don't tell me what to do. I probably make more than you. This is not an overpriced game. You get what you pay for. I am not broke. I'm making a purchase over $1000 in a week or so so I need that money for that. Any more questions youing scumbag?

lol don't worry about explaining everything it's nobody's business. I preordered, I'll sell the game and keep the contents though. I got bored of the first one way too fast. I have so many collector's editions that I'm running out of room for all the items. I'll now have a poker set with blood all over it, one from a Family Guy box, and one from New Vegas. I don't play poker. I'd much, much rather a steelbook, but I'd rather have something more rare. Plus, I'm sure the steelbook won't be hard to find in the future when I can justify buying it again.

I suppose they're supposed to ship everything for $4 and not take into account the higher shipping fees for sending the oversized poker set?
Shipping costs are expensive at times. Get used to it or stop ordering oversized items and expecting them to ship for next to nothing.
As for me, since no stores have this available as of now, I'm gonna have to pass. It also doesn't help that the version listed here is for 360 and I don't have one.

The attempted class warfare in this thread is hilarious. Someone also needs to add "$80 broke me" as a tag, LOLOL.
In any case, I agree with whoever said Capcom should've just bundled DR1 with DR2 for the PS3. In any case, this "extremely limited" (yeeeeeeaaaaaah, right...sure to be as limited as Halo 3 Legendary edition or just about any other LE/CE/DE etc.) version will undoubtedly be clearanced out everywhere by Black Friday 2011.

It's possible, but I think this one's exclusive to the Capcom store.

Nobody is telling you what to do young man. You're the one who made a big deal out of the fact that they charged you when you ordered and that it caused you to not have enough money to make your other purchases. If you don't want people to know your financial business, don't share it with everyone. All I said is that maybe you should learn to save and not throw your money away on junk you don't need, like a cheap poker set that is somehow marginally related to a game, if you don't have the financial means to handle it. The game might be good or even great. Spending an extra $60 for a tiny (and it is tiny, just look at the scale of the two packs of cards in comparison to the case) poker set, a paper map and a chance to win a nasty looking statue is just plain foolish. Maybe when you're older you'll understand.

Honetly from an older mans pov it is kinda "GAY" that they charged him well over a month in advance before they even ship the game. Thats over 30 days they have HIS cash to gain intrest or whatever before the game even gets shipped. Anyways.....

That's what Capcom and many retailers do though, especially for items that are limited. Otherwise, they could get to launch day and have lots of students like this dude with maxed out credit cards holding back stock that could otherwise go to people with the means to pay.

Interesting, I ordered 1 Xbox version and 1 PS3 version and I got free UPS Ground shipping, saved $14.95! Also it says anticipated release date is September 23rd when it's supposed to be September 28th...

If the entire set were as "distinct" as the poker set is (game case and something other than just the poker set), then it would make more sense. Some other casino related case for the game and maybe something random like a cool Visor or big set of themed Dice for my car to go with it, then I'd be sold. But just the set and a brochure, meh.
To spend $25 on something that is just going to sit there vs. $25 on something I may actually get some use out of from time to time is quite a difference. And I say $25 instead of $30 to make the Theme pack have some sort of value. I do give them props for trying to be original and not just throw in the standard artbook + soundtrack combo. But I probably would have jumped more at that combination than the ones offered so far.

I really like whats in this one but it usually has to be a game im really interested in for me to pay that much. As for the statue I think they should have made 2, one for PS3 and one for 360. People might have liked those odds better. I feel like theyre charging an extra $10 for a raffle ticket.

the contents of the high stakes edition stinks, I'd rather get the collector's edition. Not to mention it's 10 bucks more
I got the zombirex or whatever preordered from gs for $62 shipped from that past coupon deal. I will most likely cancel it just cause i can not afford reach $126 nhl 11 57 and then 62.50 for dr2 Z. I might even have to cancel nhl 11 cause i need to eat to.

aside from the in-game assets, eg texas chainsaw getup, the other knick-knacks are junk waiting to collect dust. I'm probably gonna wait for the main game to hit $20 now; too much shenanigans from Capcom.
I'll just stick with the $5 DR2 demo/prequel until 6 months out.

They probably haven't established the exact number they are going to sell yet. It's not like there is any reason for them to limit the print run. It only takes a few days to print maps and playing cards.

that is incorrect bojay; to reproduce that many chips is very time consuming and not cheap either, bc they are made of clay and need to be pre-ordered 3 months in advance. I have worked in advertising for casinos for over 14 years and that is what it takes to get special edition chips made.

So would you say that it is highly probable that this limited edition will actually be just that? To me, this edition destroys the Zombrex edition, just my personal taste. But $90 is kinda' pricey too. Then again, the whole package does come in a nice case to boot and with, what I think, is the best DLC theme that fits the theme of the game (Psycho).
Just asking...

First, let me just say that you are full of it. I personally ordered a number of sets of customized logo clay chips for a fundraiser earlier this year and the turnaround was two weeks from order to delivery. They are also not crazy expensive depending on the quality and weight and the detail in the logo. This is CAG, not defend every stupid company trying to rip us off with useless crap.

I figured since the site specifically states that this edition is extremely limited, they'd have at least nailed down a print run. I don't want to pay $90 for this only to find out that they're going to discount it later in the year because they printed way too many.

How do we know they are made of clay? There is nothing in the description indicating such. For all we know they are cheap plastic chips(making this an even bigger rip off). If the photo is to scale with the deck of cards, it doesn't look like 100 clay chips would fit in there. Just a hunch though.

IN FOR 5! Seriously guys, this game has HUGE resell value written all over it and you guys can make a killing from this. Capcom Store exclusives are normally very limited runs and this will make this a very sought after market by other countries that are not getting this. We are lucky in some respects here as we do have stuff that we consider junk, but somebody in the world that does not have financial issues and so much expendable cash will scoop this up from us.
I bought what many thought was a big steaming pile of crap in the Super Street Fighter 4 Dojo Edition from the Capcom Store for $90. It was admittedly a big piece of crap with no thought put behind it at all as it had a duffel bag, water bottle, USB drive, head band, t-shirt and a regular edition copy of SSF4. I mean it had no steelbook or even unique DLC to make it special other than the crap on the USB drive. Hell, it did not even come in a Collector's Edition box as it was all tossed in the duffel bag.
I said WTF.... and put it up for sale on eBay and before 4 hours past, I had many people from all over the world asking me if I will ship to them. In the end, I sold mine for over $300 and the person paid nearly $45 in shipping to go to Turkey. The reason why this guy bought this for so much was that he found out that between the 360 and PS3 there were only a total of 1000 made combined. Now this is for arguably Capcom’s greatest franchise other than Resident Evil. Speaking of that, I got my hands on that Japan store exclusive BSAA headset and I tripled my profits in the end selling it to…ANOTHER foreign buyer.
Think about that Ultra exclusive Dead Space that was only on EA’s store. You try finding that now in complete form for under $350 used. You won’t be able to, I guarantee. My advice is to buy 2 of these if you can afford to and keep one for you and sell the other and the profits from the second one will cover yours for free. Hell, you could break your set up if you want just the poker set and sell that unique to this edition Psycho DLC and I guarantee you will get $40-50 for just that skin. Trust me, people overpay for DLC costumes and skins all the time as there are OCD people who need everything that a game has to offer. This is also for an admittedly pretty cool looking serial killer with chainsaw and not just a skin as he will have his own unique animations.
Honestly, I am probably being conservative as that DLC will probably fetch more because let’s say Capcom only makes 1000 copies of this edition. That means only 1000 of these skins will be available and even less than half of those will even be sold as people will want them for their own use. If you don’t think DLC prices are that ridiculous, just look at retail store exclusives from huge retailers like Amazon for instance. Do you guys remember people paying almost $50-60 which is the price of the Mod Nation Racers game just to get the Ratchet and Clank racer DLC? The same with the Transformers WFC Demolisher skin as that was selling for more than double the price of the game for a while.
You will definitely also get money for the poker set as well so you could potentially sell that poker set separate from the DLC and between the two, you could get the game for free and have money on the side. I think this is the best investment we will have here since we won’t get the unique UK Outbreak Edition so this edition will be a no brainer investment. That exclusive DLC for just this store edition may pay for the price of the set alone.

You will definitely also get money for the poker set as well so you could potentially sell that poker set separate from the DLC and between the two, you could get the game for free and have money on the side. I think this is the best investment we will have here since we won’t get the unique UK Outbreak Edition so this edition will be a no brainer investment. That exclusive DLC for just this store edition may pay for the price of the set alone. [/QUOTE]
I'm sorry, but what about all the Capcom "store exclusives" that have not maintained their value? I spent some time at ComicCon at the Capcom booth and they seemed to have lots of things that were supposedly rare for sale at well less than the original asking price. The thing is, they have learned how to maximize their profits and if that means not being up front about how many of something they are going to make and sell, that's apparently part of their plan now. This is Cheap Ass Gamer, not Foolish Video Game Speculator. There are plenty of sites for collectors of "rare" games. We don't need people whipping up a frenzy on what is a very mediocre effort to cash in by Capcom.
I bought what many thought was a big steaming pile of crap in the Super Street Fighter 4 Dojo Edition from the Capcom Store for $90. It was admittedly a big piece of crap with no thought put behind it at all as it had a duffel bag, water bottle, USB drive, head band, t-shirt and a regular edition copy of SSF4. I mean it had no steelbook or even unique DLC to make it special other than the crap on the USB drive. Hell, it did not even come in a Collector's Edition box as it was all tossed in the duffel bag.
I said WTF.... and put it up for sale on eBay and before 4 hours past, I had many people from all over the world asking me if I will ship to them. In the end, I sold mine for over $300 and the person paid nearly $45 in shipping to go to Turkey. The reason why this guy bought this for so much was that he found out that between the 360 and PS3 there were only a total of 1000 made combined. Now this is for arguably Capcom’s greatest franchise other than Resident Evil. Speaking of that, I got my hands on that Japan store exclusive BSAA headset and I tripled my profits in the end selling it to…ANOTHER foreign buyer.
Think about that Ultra exclusive Dead Space that was only on EA’s store. You try finding that now in complete form for under $350 used. You won’t be able to, I guarantee. My advice is to buy 2 of these if you can afford to and keep one for you and sell the other and the profits from the second one will cover yours for free. Hell, you could break your set up if you want just the poker set and sell that unique to this edition Psycho DLC and I guarantee you will get $40-50 for just that skin. Trust me, people overpay for DLC costumes and skins all the time as there are OCD people who need everything that a game has to offer. This is also for an admittedly pretty cool looking serial killer with chainsaw and not just a skin as he will have his own unique animations.
Honestly, I am probably being conservative as that DLC will probably fetch more because let’s say Capcom only makes 1000 copies of this edition. That means only 1000 of these skins will be available and even less than half of those will even be sold as people will want them for their own use. If you don’t think DLC prices are that ridiculous, just look at retail store exclusives from huge retailers like Amazon for instance.

It is not speculation, I base it on my sales history and would help you sell yours if you wish just to give me good Karma.
I deal with people that ask for these things on the International scene as they covet these and are not struggling like us economically. To them, they can afford these luxuries and all it takes is one person which wants this bad enough that can't get it other than eBay to make your day.
That SSF4 Dojo edition was garbage as it was stuff that you and I could have thrown into a box and called an exclusive that we might have gotten for free at some conventions. Guess what, that thing was limited and selling for over $200 on average. Let's talk about this DLC now. When I see or sell DLC that is store exclusive like Amazon's where you only get one DLC per household no matter how many you purchase via email, these are very limited. You have to get these via email after purchase confirmation and are limited DLC and not just a card handed to you like those scratch cards from Best Buy or Gamestop.
Something as simple as a unique weapon or character unlock can easily net big bucks. Remember that Splinter Cell: Conviction DLC for the VR Alkali suit that was only released if you completed a game on a Ubi partner site? I had one that sold for over $80 and I was only hoping to get just $25 for it. That code was limited like this Psycho DLC and that one was FREE. It was eventually released, but in that time waiting for the DLC, it was limited and in high demand. there were people here or worldwide that want these Collector's Editions or very limited DLC and will pay a premium for them.
I have some Outbreak Editions of this game pre-ordered from GAME and I know those will make profit here as supply and demand does apply even in this economy. Maybe, I can tell you guys my exploits when I sell these to gauge if I was wrong in my assessments.
