The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

[flatout]

How much is/was the CE in EU and US? Was it $150 in the US? If so that is a really good price for what you get... but I know EU usually gets screwed on conversion.

I do not like these or Sony's unboxings... they are not really unboxings. They are just a quick overview of the items as opposed to a nice in depth one and they are obviously not honest either. For example if something is below decent quality they will talk it up as nice and cool regardless. But they do serve a purpose, to be able to quicly see the final versions of the items.

Yeah we got had on currency conversion again. I think my pre-order is for £140, but pretty sure the RRP is £150. There were some Amazon early pre-order prices for about £80~ if I remember rightly, but I missed those.

I am really getting out of the whole center thing

The only ones I have on order are bat man amazon preorder and mgs v amazon France both come in at under 80 but nearer time may cancel

Ac victory might have a gander but that's it

Will most prob only keep bat man ce as i will put a lot of time into and keep the game

An extra 30 for art book, steel, statue, comic and doc seems just about fair, the switcher 140 seems absurd

So statue steel art book comic batman/ compendium witcher

Witcher 3 has map, stickers, soundtrack, medallion and the cards cloth map x1 only

The standard witcher game has the map, stickers, soundtrack, compendium I got that on pre order for 39.95

So really you compare the three batman ce, witcher ce and witcher standard your paying 60 GBP extra for medallion and cards cloth map if you going x1

I don't think the witcher ce is great value

[Resseh]

Hmmm the batman one does look badass. Is it still available to preorder?

I have the witcher preordered for £120 but not sure if it's worth it.

The big differences in those are the full size art book and the amazing (for a CE) quality statue. Most likely the Batman statue will be pretty cheap and it is very plain. But if that is of no concern then the Batman one is a much better value. But for someone who really like collecting quality statues the Witcher CE is an amazing value as that statue alone could sell for well over $150.

Its all personal preference and what you like collecting most.

Yeah it sucks for you guys sometimes. Sorry to hear that.

And I just got reminded that the non-xbox collectors are shafted with the extra physical items - cloth map and gwent cards =/

As a physical collector I am still not too happy about this, obviously restricted on my platform of choice. Considering the price as well (charged the same with less items) and with the effect of devaluing my CE.

FU M$!

Bust besides that agree with flatout, I do remember something on the official forums in regards to the quality of the CE between the fanbase and developers so I imagine the quality of the CE will be better this time around

Yeah that is a bit of bullsheit right there. Not really fair. Its one thing with digital bonuses but now they are doing it with items in CEs. The deck of cards are not important IMO but the cloth map is something I would want as a collector.

Hey Raven did you see that I had unboxed the statue from the CE (vids a page back if you missed it)?

[comaamen86]

I think it would be hard to determine statue quality without being up close, really depends who makes both also

As for the witcher art book they have made a bit of extra b effort but I wonder if it is the top tier as if there is another more limited version it voids the extra effort

Even though I own x1 I also think it's quite a raw deal to give item exclusivity to one platforn

What's the size and how many pages is this book in the CE? Looks like Watch Dogs HB game guide thickness in the pic but something tells me this is not the case.
