Dead Rising 2 High Stakes Edition

Boojay, firstly I didnt mean to insult you, just point out your assumptions were incorrect, which they are. Secondly, I would never describe something as "crazy" expensive as you indicated I did. Finally, CAG is for deals not personal opinions, which you started and was incorrect. If you want to buy generic "plastic" chips, they are cheap and can get fast.

But if you looked at the Poker Set, you will see the multi-colored band on the side of the chips, which indicates they are "clay" chips and not the cheap plastic fundraiser chips you purchased. (answer Corvin's question how I know they are clay)

Finally, the design detail, does not matter for the cost of anything as you indicated as well, cost depends on the number of colors (like with all printing) not detail of design. Of course other items matter like quantity.
 
Nobody is going to buy 5 of this things let alone one because you made a 200$ profit. It's a terrible edition and over priced good luck with your future earnings.
 
It looks like the Fallout New Vegas chips are clay high end as well. It looks like the Fallout chips are logo'd, but Dead Rising doesnt show the face of the chip.

Here is who I always order chips from and they are most popular chip manufacturer in the world, if anyone cares. Only putting on here bc it seems a lot of companies are throwing in chips lately.

Not sure what your point is. You have no basis for claiming these are clay chips. Clay chips used by casinos take several months to manufacture because they contain security features and a very high level of detail. These are likely either clay composite (i.e. mostly plastic with some clay or metal added for weight) or plastic chips, both of which can be manufactured with the edging shown in the mock-up image Capcom provided. The charity poker chips I ordered actually have very similar edging to what is shown in the mock-up, so it is possible to get cheap chips in that style quickly. Until someone actually gets a set, nobody but Capcom knows the quality of the chips in the set. You may not know this, but there are several large scale manufacturers cranking these out in Asia and I am sure Capcom went with one of those manufacturers as they aren't going to lose money on these packages. Even if these were high quality chips, who cares? Does anyone really need or want a full set of chips and two packs of cards over just a few chips and a single pack of cards?

You're right, this is CAG. It's for the discussion of deals, not rampant speculation about what something might or might not be worth. I don't believe this is a deal and I have explained why. Others can certainly have other opinions and buy it if they so choose. People enjoy the discussion because it helps all of us determine if something is worth buying or not. If you don't want to sit through discussion and opinions about whether or not it's worth it, then feel free to stop following this thread.

It's a render, not a photo. As boyjay pointed out it is very possible to get plastic chips with the edging similar to clay chips. To claim something as fact, going off a 3D render of what the final design should look like, is a fallacy.

I emailed CS and this is their response:
We apologize for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, we are unable to
assist you with this issue at the Capcom Online Store.
Click to expand...

:lol:

So until Capcom chimes in or someone has a set in hand, it's all rampant speculation. To claim otherwise is just naive.
 
Eh.. I can buy two copies of the PC version for less than this.. Might still be a bit tempting though.. I'll have to see if I like the Case Zero outfits enough to get it on 360..
 
I got an e-mail yesterday saying the High Stakes Edition is delayed to Sept. 27th. Notice the page now says "PRE-ORDER NOW!" instead of something like "pre-order to guarantee release-day delivery". Stupid Crapcom.

Try reading next time, the subject says 'Preorder Release Date Change' with a date of Sept 27th and the game is coming out on the 28th (feel free to check Amazon or Gamestop). There is no delay going on or mentioned anywhere in the email. The change in date is probably to ensure that it gets sent early and arrives on time as it probably said the 28th before.
 
You are the one that needs to read. :dunce: The date was September 23rd. Releasing one day before the 28th means it's not going to get to customers in time. Like I said, they even deleted the part where it says you'll receive it by the release date.
 
[quote name='Porksta']Oh, the 6ft zombie is a contest, and not included with every package.. guess I'll pass.[/QUOTE]


seriously?
 
in for one. Minus the fact that there is no steelbook, this is FAR superior to the Zombrex edition. That little pen probably cost them like 50 cents to make. Oh and artbooks... Oh how overdone are thee. The poker set looks really cool and the map is actually useful in comparison to a stupid little safety chart from the zombrex edition. DLC will definitely resell for a nice sum and the chance to win that awesome statue is icing on the cake.
 
I figure if I can I'll sell the game and code and keep the stuff for an additional 20 bucks. I honestly like both CEs and despite its weakness if DR2 is more of the same it's still more original than the vast majority of big budget games coming out this year.

They will be clay chips.

Anyways can't wait to get this edition.
 
[quote name='bojay1997']Correct. Just like nobody cares if you're going to buy it.[/QUOTE]
If you aren't going to buy it you can atleast be civil about it unlike most people here where they go off on a rant how its worthless and only idiots will pay X amount for it.

why come in a thread and post if you dont plan on buying? just hit the back button

Hahahaha, like I said, check Amazon and Gamestop. The change to Sept 28th was done over a month ago (feel free to check the news), long before this edition is announced. As if this edition would release a week before the other retails....
 
[quote name='DarkRider23']seriously?[/QUOTE]

Crap yeah he's right. On the right side of the website it says that if you get a gold ticket in the package you can redeem it for the statue. I knew a 6 ft statue in every package was too good to be true

Well that's just great. Seriously, Capcom? $10 shipping and the statue isn't included? Talk about a bait and switch. Order canceled!

Why would you think that the game and a 6ft statue would only cost $90 plus $10 to ship? :roll:
 
Bait and Switch? People seriously need to learn how to READ

I honestly can't believe there were people here that thought they were getting a 6 FOOT (not inches) statue for this price.
 
Between the argument about plastic and clay chips, and people thinking they were getting a 6 foot statue with their game, I'm thinking thread of the year here.
 
[quote name='ZombieJediMastr']Why would you think that the game and a 6ft statue would only cost $90 plus $10 to ship? :roll:[/QUOTE]

Clearly you need to reevaluate your expectations as a consumer if you're okay with allowing soulless corporations like Capcom to take advantage of people like this.
 
[quote name='sengar']Clearly you need to reevaluate your expectations as a consumer if you're okay with allowing soulless corporations like Capcom to take advantage of people like this.[/QUOTE]

First off, I never said I was okay with companies "taking advantage of people". Second, and still my main comment is why would you think that a 6ft statue and a game would cost you $90? Even if the statue was made of plastic it would cost at least $100 by itself and it certainly would cost more than $10 to ship. I doubt Capcom (or any "soulless" company) would actually think about producing multiples of the statue without trying to make some sort of profit off it.

Lastly, it's always good to read everything before you pay for something. It's been up for a few days now and it's not like a bunch of people were rushing to buy it so you could of taken your time a read the fine print.

It would have to ship that early to arrive on time. Like I said, it used to say release-day delivery. They just took it off and delayed the shipping date. Now the only way to get it on release day is to pay $43 for overnight shipping, which is ridiculous.

I could have, but that would have been nothing more than blatant capitulation to the continued erosion of consumer rights through the tyranny of corporate greed. It becomes clear now that you are little more than a Capcom plant sent to sway public sentiment against the rights of the individual.
 
If this included a 6 inch tall zombie like that I would purchase it. Without a minature zombie statue it just isn't worth it.

Granted, I would LOVE to be the one that won a 6 foot tall zombie statue... that would just be so neat.

all of which are american dreams! All of which are american dreams! All of which are american dreams!
 
This thread is hilarious... People thinking that a 6 foot statue comes with every order or the stupid debate over clay/plastic chips... I haven't seen a thread in the deals section this good in a while.
 
I'd like to order one but that Digital River checkout system is completely worthless. Can't get an order to go through, Items appear and disappear from my cart, etc.
 
This is the best thread I've visited in a long time!! There are so many bullshit debates going on, it's crazy!!!!

I think what everyone is forgetting though, is the concept of perceived value. There is no cookie-cutter way to define a deal. Maybe someone thinks the items are worth it. Great! Their perceived value of the item is much higher than the price, and therefore, they see it as a deal. If you're perceived value is less than the price, you will obviously see this as a non-deal. You can't change someone's perceived value of something.

I just think it's so stupid that people will debate constantly about stuff like this. There's no point in telling someone that their opinion is worthless. All it does is make everyone mad, and make you look foolish. Sure, post away with your opinion on why it's not a deal, but don't attack somebody because they think differently.
 
[quote name='Mr Dude65']There's no point in telling someone that their opinion is worthless.[/QUOTE]

That is unless you thought every copy came with a six foot zombie statue. :rofl:

I could understand if someone misread that thinking it was 6 inches, but as far as I can tell, no one is admitting as much which makes it all the funnier.
 
When I win the statuue, do I get to keep the tickit or do they take that? I'm really wanting to get in on this but I think it's a rip of if I cannut keep the tickit after I win the satute.

You get a friggen statue instead! Only 1 made. That's better than the ticket everyone else will be getting except you're is gold.
 
looks like the 360 version is sold out? been trying to order for the past 2 days with no luck.

ps3 version goes through without any issues

I think you may be right, I've been seeing the same thing the last couple of days I try to order. Gets all the way to the end when trying to order the 360 version but when you try and submit the order it won't accept it.

CORRECTION: Just tried it again right after posting and it took the order for the 360 version.
 
Personally, I don't know why anyone would slam this LE. If you're not into any LE's, that's cool. But to remotely say that the Zombrex Edition is better...I just can't agree with that.

Zombrex gives you a steelbook case. That's cool, but nothing major really. What else, a 48 page artbook, a 24 minute making-of DVD, a "prescription" notepad (25 sheets), a "safety" card, and a plastic ($.50) syringe pen. All for $79.99.

For $10 more you get an LE that is actually more limited than Zombrex, a themed map that is actually useful in-game, the Psycho costume and skill DLC (best one IMO) and, best of all, a killer themed poker set, dice, and 100 chips, all with a nice high-impact case. I don't include Burt the Zombie as there is only one, but whoever wins that thing will have a hell of a collector's item though.

This is all just my opinion...but if I decide to get an LE version, it's definitely this one.

My opinion is that this is not an LE version. It's the regular game with a poker set and a map thrown in a shipping box. It's like one of those NIS/Rosenqueen packages. There is no outer box keeping everything together, so it's no different than just buying the game at a regular store and then buying some promo items that Capcom sells for most of its big releases nowadays. Also, I seriously doubt that they aren't gonna sell the DLC and costume separately down the road, so at the end of the day you are paying $40 plus tax and an extra $10 shipping for a tiny poker set and a map. Some people like that kind of stuff and think it's a fair price which is totally fine. Personally, I like steelbooks and for me, getting the game, a making-of DVD and art book is a deal for $20 extra with free shipping and no tax from Amazon. My only issue all along has been that people are creating a lot of drama and hype over what is clearly not a deal. This is obviously not that limited as a lot of people claim to have ordered it and it's still not sold out. Having said that, if you like what's included and have the money, go for it.

Yeah man, that's cool...to each their own. You're right about the DLC, I'm 99.99% sure all costumes will go up for sale within a few months. Most likely I'll go with Amazon for the regular version because it comes with a $10 GC. But if I were to get an LE, it'd be this one. Just looks nicer to me, that's all.
 
I love poker and play on a weekly basis but 100 chips isn't enough for a real game. It does look nice to have on display but it's not an extra $50 nice
 
What?!?!?!?! Every edition doesnt come with a 6ft statue? I guess we built our mailbox for nothing. FFFFUUUUU
