You are good in my book! I thought nothing of the sort. You are entitled to feel how you do about collecting a premium and standard copy. In fact, most people will feel the same way you do - it's only us oddball "sealed" collectors that think it's fine to never open something so amazing.

I am a massive gears fan so will be at the ready

I'm down for the Folio version!

too expensive for me, even the softcover at $65, nice ro own but have always found these overpriced from the get go

[davidw]

these sorts of books are always expensive - especially editions like the Folio etc - i could just about justify the leather edition but think that will be it - will see prices on the Folio but going to be at least $300

Thanks for the heads up, too bad it's way out of my league.

Thanks for mentioning this. I should have put it in the details. Amazon.com and other retailers around the world will be getting copies of the softcover (or hardcover) standard version.

I believe the GOW 3 Artbook is their best Art of Game folio yet and worth the money. You can visit the facebook page of Ballistic Publising where they have shown the unboxing of the Special edition.

Its their biggest folio till date and pure awesome. As foreverflash mentioned, Garth Hammet is a is indeed a great guy and very helpful. He is actually the CFO / COO of Ballistic Publishing. Another good person to speak there would be Carissa Wang. She usually handles the sales enquiries.

Ballistic are not yet accepting pre-orders for Folio but I spoke with Garth yesterday and got 1 reserved for myself. If you want to reserve a specific number, contact them at the earliest. My name is Tate and you can give them my reference which would hopefully help.

But I was told that the people who previously purchased folios would be given priority for number of their choice and they will have an option to select the same number as their previous folios. So it would be prudent if you hurry up and request for the number of your choice. Whilst the number might not be an issue to some , many (me included) like preferred numbers.

Hope this helps and good luck wth your purchase
