"unboxing" of the US CE

Nice Ayiu!


Then I watched the video...


Well the word "unboxing" is used pretty loosely there I mean all they did was make the picture of the CE we have all seen into a vid... lol.

Just thought I mention that Amazon does not charge you until dispatch and back in June I believe the exchange rate was at its' lowest in the year of 0.58 (USD to GBP) and now it is rising and currently at 0.64

so for comparison I think The Order Premium was I believe approximately $200 altogether

June 2014 - 200 * 0.58 = £116
Nov 2014 - 200 * 0.64 = £128

Just thought I let you know so there won't be any surprises, if your pre-ordering offshore I recommend signing up for something like a Halifax Clarity Credit Card - there is no charge to offshore transaction which most other banks tag on a 3% charge or something so you will just be charged at exchange rate value

for comparison see - http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/tra...p-travel-money

So what is the general consensus on this one? I really want the premium edition but $150 is hella pricey at a time right after PAX South and PAX East. Are you more hardcore collectors thinking this one will be one of those that sticks around for a while and goes down in price due to overabundance or should I jump on a pre-order of it?

Personally I do not like the statue. Also the value compared to the other smaller $80 edition is really bad. The $80 edition is an amazing value and I think the statue is better.

There's also Order 1886 Steelbook version will be available. I guess it's called special edition. still I prefer the premium ed. I also like those statues too much so will try to get both editions.

I think the Premium Edition statue is silly looking (the pose they chose). Statues that do running and/or falling poses tend to look silly. Galahad is just floating in mid-air way off the base of the statue.

Another example of one that looks pretty bad is the Crysis 2 Statue with Alcatraz running on top of the car.

I actually have to admit I'm not fully sold on the premium over CE, which is why I was asking. I like both statues and actually wish there weren't two separate ones. Really the thing that makes me want the Premium edition, outside of the alternate statue is the artbook. I think that looks like it could be really nice. The arguments that the CE is a much better deal is totally valid and is actually making me rethink this totally
