Thinking of buying a CE for a system I dont have. Inputs?

[giantqtipz]

So I have an xboz 360, and I really want tget Splinter Cell Blacklist Silver Edition. However, the PC version is under $100, and since Im importig it, its not as expensive as buying the 360 version, which is $30 more...

I assume shipping costs will run up to $40 or so.

Have any of you guys done this? I sort of feel uneasy because, well, I dont have a powerful PC, and all of my CEs are for the 360. Its just feels strange to break that trend. I plan on selling the PC disc and buy the zavvi steelbook though.

Any thoughts, experiences?

It all depends on how anal you are with regards to the packaging. Would having a PC branded box bother you when it is amongst your 360 games? It personally bothers me, so I always try to get my games and CEs on the Xbox 360.

It's entirely down to your preference. :D

If it comes with a slipcover, i dont mind because ill just throw it out. But theres no unboxing video yet. The only unboxing video released is for the paladin edition, and it seems like the system's logo is on the package (no slipcover)

Recently i bought a deus ex collectors edition for the ps3. It comes with a paper flip cover which i threw out. I just replaced the ps3 discs with my 360 discs lol.

It was my first time doing that. I hope it can be done with this one too.. I open my CEs heh...

As Cosmic says, it depends on if a PC labelled box will annoy you or not.

And ahhh, you throw the slipcovers out!? That's madness :haha: :P xx

Haha i only threw it out for my deus ex. I dont want to look at my collection, and suddenly see a PS3 logo anywhere in it lol.

Hmm ughhh ibreally hope the system's logo isnt printed on the box.. Arg

Anyway thanks guys. Gonna spend the rest of the day, maybe week, thinking about this lol!

Maybe thats not so funny... :P

Having a PC CE amongst my collection wouldn't bother me at all. I just dont buy PC related games, UNLESSSSSS...
The game I wanted ONLY came out on the PC...In your case I would try to shell out the extra for the 360 version vs the PC version...

The edition with its glaring PC logo will eat away at your soul, laughing and mocking you for the rest of your days...

do it that way you will not fell as bad buying the zavvi edition i have bought ce's for consoles idon not own because they were nice

[giantqtipz]

Thanks for the input guys. Yeah i wont throw out the slipcover, but ill stash it elsewhere.

Then ill sell the PC disc, and wait for the 360 version to be on sale; and also buy the steelbook separately.

Its just that the PC is 50 pounds, while consoles is 80 pounds. The difference is insane... As long as i get the statue and steelbook, im happy.

So today my Deus Wx Collectors Edition arrived

I ordered it via amazon UK for $111. It is the ps3 version.

Since I already have the Xbox Augmented Edition, all I did was just swap the discs, and the artbook.

Its kind if strange how the artbook in the UK CE is softcover, while the US gets hardcover.

Also I threw the paper cover thing, now you cant tell what system its for.

Not bad. Now im excited about getting the PC version of Blacklist. Just sell the discs, wait for a sale, then buy game and steelbook. If im not so tight on funds, this all wont be necessary though. But hey, it works just fine with me.
