Like the dead space replica plasma cutter, that was total bullshit. I'd be ashamed to even display that cos it looks like some crappy $1 toy
I actually refused to buy that after seeing unboxing videos on YouTube, where every reviewer stated that it was shite. There was no way I was going to pay the asking price for something like that! The only other CE I have done that with this year is the DBZ one which was just recently released

Something else which annoys me is that eBay seems to be flooded with non-UK stock of the Dead Space 2 CE. There are European imports, as well as Singapore imports - The latter of which are really shitty as they're in bad condition and also have some kind of square piece of paper suck on the top of the box covering up something. A UK online retailer was recently selling these Singapore copies, and quickly removed them from sale once people started complaining!
