That totally needs to be Cheapy's motto! I could see him signing off the CAGcast with it every time!

I would be all over this if I had a decent computer. As it is, by the time I have something that can run it it will be cheaper, but the CE will probably be long gone.
 
If only the 360 version was this cheapy.....

Ps- Keep it bald....hahha sounds dirty, good motto though
 
[quote name='Dijital']Damn now how can I refuse at a price like that.[/quote]

I'm thinking I'll probably bite too. I really have been wanting this game!

Yeah, no kidding. If it were for the 360, I would bite.
 
Damn... $40 shipped after tax for me, still not good enough for me to bite seeing as how the first one took a nosedive in price.
 
[quote name='bassec']It's $34.99 shipped...FREE SUPER SHIPPING.[/quote]

He speaks the truth. Unlike most sites with free shipping, Amazon doesn't automatically select it when you go to finish your purchase. You have to select it yourself. $34.99 shipped for me. I totally bit.
 
[quote name='bassec']It's $34.99 shipped...FREE SUPER SHIPPING.[/QUOTE]

I got charged tax, so no, it's not $34.99 shipped for me, more like $38.

Like I said earlier, I'll just wait for the regular edition to nosedive and hit $15 - $20... I'd like a DVD version, but I don't care enough to pay almost $40 for it. If it was really was $35 shipped free no tax I'd probably bite though, but I've got enough to play and I'm gonna be a cheap cheap CAG about this one.
 
This is an amazing price- awesome find. Makes me wish I had not pre-ordered it for sixty. Thanks for posting!
 
[quote name='the ender']So did you bite?[/QUOTE]

Not yet, probably will, since this is one of the few games I'd rather have on PC than on 360.
 
[quote name='Roufuss']Not yet, probably will, since this is one of the few games I'd rather have on PC than on 360.[/quote] Problem I have is that the extras look cool, though I don't know if they're "gotta have it for $35 instead of $20 another time for the regular" good.

Well for me, having a DVD is much better than having 8 CD's, and Collectors Edition's tend to hold their value alot better if I ever decide to resell the game.

I'll probably bite on it tommorrow or something, need to sleep on it.
 
To be fair, the collector's edition isn't very hot apart from having it on DVD instead. The "New dragon unit" is just a reskin of a unit that's already in the game (As in, collector's dragons look slightly different than normal dragons) and the new create a hero items are just a few extra cosmetic things to slap on your character. The extras DVD has something like 40 minutes of new movies (Off the top of my head, been a while since I watched it) and the rest are just all the in-game cutscenes and then the music.

Basically, the biggest attraction is that it's on DVD. The game itself is pretty fun though, even if the elves are hugely overpowered (Silverthorn arrows kill everything. Even balrogs. LIKE THAT) and the AI is mildly retarded. I'd say go for it, especially if you've got some buddies to play it with. Multiplayer siege maps are pretty fun.
 
Anyone know where or willing to make a custom dvd label for this one, so that when it arrives I can put the game in a DVD case as it should be in my opinion.

In this case u might wanna pass if thats so. Wal-Mart has a TON of the CE's and It's more of a Jade Empire CE I.E its not going to be very rare and high demand down the road thanks to tons of copies floating around.
 
Thanks Cheapy I just ordered a copy.
I played the B4ME2 360 demo today and I loved it except for the 360 controls.
RTS games should only be on the PC (and maybe the Wii when it comes out).

To be honest, I've checked a few Wal-Mart's that I knew had the game and it's disappeared completely... same with the local BB / CC's.

A few EB's / GS's have copies but I think they want $50 / $60 for it.
