Max Payne 3 Special Edition available for pre-order

[comaamen86]

yeah the rrp of £100 works out to $160usd how would you fell about that?

I'd probably pass, but i suppose if the game itself is about 40 - 50 quid, is a different story... Everything in the UK is so much more expensive though

Same here, got my bullet pen along with my special edition from zavvi!

One thing I was annoyed was the official soundtrack is a download through XBLA, would've preferred an hard copy.

Yeah heard the soundtrack was download only, when will they learn.

I would have preferred a discount voucher to buy a real CD rather than DLC.

Glad I didn't pick this edition up.

Well got mine on Friday, got it from Tesco, so after some useful codes, it came to £70. Considering the game costs £40 i can't complain too much for what you get, of course we always want more, but since when has collectors stood for bargain? These things arent designed to be value for money . I think the unboxing below is one of a few that actually properly show off what you get, in some others the lighting or video quality makes it look worse than it is.

It's certainly something you have to consider but the main problem with CEs is that the game itself normally comes in at £10 below RRP whereas the CE or LE is always quoted at full price.

For me, anyway, CE's should always be £10 or so cheaper. Then you look at what you get in Dark Souls LE, for instance, at the reduced RRP of £40 and then compare the content with something like the Prototype 2 Blackwatch edition (RRP £70) and you wonder who's taking the piss.

Damn, next time i won't order games like those from the UK anymore, the reason i've bought it from Zavvi is because of all the goodies i was getting, the DLC + Bullet Pen with my Special Edition, it has been sent one day before the release and it isn't still here!, sometimes UK deliveries can take a damn long time!.

zavvi just send me an e-mail telling that they are blocking some countries due to no deliveries

Yeah, but the UK is quite closer here compared to Australia, though, i order at Zavvi.co.uk quite a lot and mostly i have it within 3-4 days but this time it's just taking a lot more time. This doesn't of course mean i will stop ordering at Zavvi.co.uk but i've been excited about Max Payne 3 for a while because i totally loved Max Payne 1 and 2 in the past, and now i can't still play it while it has been out for quite a while, i'd prefer to have those games on the release, because this is killing me!, hah!.
