Was the release date much of a pain for you?
Well, I've had mixed feelings about this CE the whole time. Initially I was really annoyed that they cancelled the limited steelbook because i had just managed to get one before they closed the offer.

I was pleased that they moved the release date though because, like you, I was snowed under financially at the time.

When they announced the new version it looked okay until all the bullshit about stickerbooks - at which point i became anxious again. Now i have it, i'm just relieved that it's done with and even more relieved that it ain't a worthless stickerbook.

As for the package, I have to say it's pretty decent. The artbook is great, the steelbook looks mint and the manual for the game itself is outstanding - considering what other publishers are putting out.

I've spent more than £70 for CEs that have been a lot worse
