I hope someone in packaging messes up with the included game content and Microsoft has to offer an E-mail thing like for Fable.

Uh, only because I like to share! Yeah, that's right...

Not like I need anymore crap collecting dust on a shelf somewhere but I hope they get something equally awesome together for the US.

Sweet Christmas! I want that shit!

I got all those lousy PS controllers they made back in the day. I'm usually cool about all this useless collectable crap and do go in for it, but something about Street Fighter swag mages my balls drop. HARD.

Knowing this is available, I don't think I'll buy Street Fighter IV unless I can get this. This is just too sweet to pass up on!

Any word on the price? I mean, this is pretty big league in terms of CE.

Ha, that's what I was thinking. Let's just pretend he said "Hurricane kick".

Ok, what the hell is up with the US getting screwed royally when it comes to collectors editions?!
I'm a huge fan of (well done) CEs and LEs and will gladly pay more for better (namely metal) cases, figures, in game content, art books, etc.
But the publishers/distributors seem to think the US doesn't care or doesn't deserve them!

I'm sorry but I'm a little ryled after finding that the socalled LE upgrade for Prince of Persia in the US ended up to be the same plastic case as the normal edition, with an extra disk, slid into a cardboard case.
But the UK gets TWO different LE upgrades (depending on which store) that have metal cases, art/comic books, and at least look nicer than the regular editions!

I hope to god this is not a new trend...especially because I couldn't import them if I wanted because of region locked disks!

Aaarrggh!!

*pant* *pant*

Yeah, I can't say I was very amused at the LE "upgrade" we got either. At least it didn't cost anything extra... but still, that cardboard box is shitty.

Oh, and that was just one example on one system.
I've seen many very very well done CEs and LEs for the EU, UK, and Japan, but half-assed cardboard sleeves thrown at the US.

And yes, I know many times the US gets other things first, but for me, I don't care about speed, I care about quality.

Well, to be honest, some uk store get their own special editions, probably where theyve had a deal to release their own extras.

Such as Fallout 3, Game had its own special edition that came with a model of the heavy armour (Dont know what its called) that you could get anywhere else.

Other times theyve only had special tin boxes/card sleeves.

TBH, the only thing I want from this is the movie that was made. Seems a shame you can only get that with the collectors edition right now then.

Let's find SOME solace in the picture.

The US is receiving a rendition with Chun-Li on the cover.

Low and behold, that bottom special edition has Chun-Li on the box.

This is contrary to my habit of being the persistent pessimist. Maybe my love of SF, and Chun-Li, clouds my mind.

But yes, the state of recent US "CE"s and "LE"s has been nothing short of shameful. Just make ONE kick-ass package. The extra $10 to $20 premium for slip covers and "digital guides" is nothing but a gimmick.

i dont get ce and LE versions of any games. Why do people care about all that junk? I bet 90% of you buying that crap wont even 100% the game (ie 1000 gamerscore). I have no clue why anyone would waste their moeny on junk like this for games, and movies (the have special x-disc editions too)

Well, it depends. I got the CoD: WaW CE for 80$ and only have about 500GS on it. But I didn't buy the GTA IV CE and yet I got all 1000GS. For me it's the extras you get, not if you really plan on eating the game up until it's dry. BTW, I believe you were the dude that made those handy videos about bird locations in GTA IV, I would like to thank you for that. They helped.

That's crappy, according to Gamestop 360 collector's edition gets Crimson Viper figure while the PS3 gets Ryu figure. Still going to get it, only now am a little disappointed.
