Default Re: Collecting CE's - Thoughts in general

- Lost Planet 2 CE
- The Conduit 2 Pre-order Agent Ford Figurine
- King of Fighters 2 CE
- Portal 2 CE
- Homefront 2 CE

For a country of about 23 million people and also in terms of distance, far away from Europe and the US, it's surprising how we get all these special things. However, we do end up paying a lot more for games than both continents as well
Even more lucky considering most of those games we didn't get any LE or CE whatsoever! Homefront, Portal 2, and Lost Planet 2 were three games I would've expected to have had a CE here in the UK

But on the other hand, you also miss out on a hell of a lot of CE's which the rest of the world DO get, and a lot of the games sold in Australia are just imported European games from the UK
