Wat does that mean, that the game actually comes OUTSIDE the box set?

I hope this is a joke or we have a disaster on our hands.

Yup, seems to be the case. Unless Gamestation asked for theirs to be different. Got one on display and definitely no game inside it. As the contents aren't console specific, the Special Edition is scanned at £60, then the relevent format game at £39.99.

As I say, that's how it is for us, could be different elsewhere.

yeah its different for us in North America. My one came with a game packed inside its own individual box inside the CE big box. Pretty neat actually. See the photos of my unboxing to see what I mean:

Just had a look at your pictures, the one we opened didn't have the game inside that inner box you mention, seems strange. Might give work a heads up about it. Might be an in store thing so that we can sell the SE on whichever format. Will see how people report back today, as I'm intrigued now. Sorry for any panic caused.

I brought my CE from Zavvi and the game came outside of the box. I had to put it back in. As a consolation, everything else apart from the bullet keychain was sealed inside the box. Also came with a bullet pen which looks amazing.

I forgot to add that to my suprise, zavvi shipped this out to me in double ply cardboard, and double boxed for extra safety. As a result it arrived to me in extra mint condition.

The pen looks nice, it does look very similar tot he call of juarez the cartel bullet pen.

just got my this morning and opened it - the game did come outside of the main special edition box but as far as i can see there is space inside the box to put it - makes me think they didn't have enough time to do it or something went wrong and had to leave outside of the main box but everything else is sweet - the little bullet keyring is very well made, as weighty as you would want, also came with the codes for DLC and soundtrack - i also hate that you don't get a CD anymore but what can i say - that is the what the internet has done to us...

I've not actually looked at the art prints yet but i was surprised to see there where bigger than i thought - worried they would end up postcard size but not - as for the figure i really like it, ok it's not Hot Toys quality but in my opinion it is very well done - the paint job is done well (on mine) and the base and overall size of it is very nice - weight is good, it's not heavy by any means but why would you want it to be? it is already on the base with no chance of falling etc so a non-issue for me - not played the game yet but first impressions are very good and so far i'm very happy with my purchase - no regrets yet.
