Can anyone verify that this is not the same as the treasure edition?

So without a certificate of authenticity, and no numbering, how can we tell how rare it actually is? Especially as they now seem to have more in stock, they could have ordered 50,000 more for all we know due to public demand!

A bit of a farce if you ask me, and after three editions bought from them I am getting a little suspicious, and might not bite so hard next tme they list something like this...

I am also now highly suspicious of any exclusive edition which game4game.at list in the future, after being disappointed three times by them (Sniper: Ghost Warrior, Call Of Juarez: The Cartel, and this)

For a set which had so much potential, this has actually ended up being worse than any of the others!

Add to that the fact that the game is useless to me (German), the comic book is useless to me (German), and the polo shirt is useless to me (at least one size too big), so that was a lot of money to lay down for a box I could've made myself, a poster, and a few postcards.

@Gemini-Phoenix If I may ask, what size is the shirt? I'm guess it's a 'Large'??

Also, is the "wooden box" the same size as the CoJ box? If so, they have just used the same recipe as that to make manufacturing easier, but doesn't mean quality is any better?!

I saw the unboxing video, and I saw how much space it has inside. Seems like the contents are pretty lose. It also doesn't seem to matter which format you get it for as the box doesn't indication what game format it originally came with!? [well, not from what I saw in the unboxing video anyway]. Thanks for sharing your views, I can't wait to read the magazines in German whilst in the can...I know what kind of German mag they could include instead that doesn't require much reading

I order the Xbox edition and they sent me the DLC via email and I also found it in my account in the order page.

Are you saying that the game is actually full German with no English voice or text whatsoever??? :O

shirt is size L. The wooden box is huge...at least 30cm long. I was really shocked. But I think it's only chipboard wood (I'm not sure about this)

Yes, it's a Large. I am a Medium at best

No, it's much larger! I would say it's roughly the size of the original Xbox, but perhaps slightly wider.

Going by the joints and rough sanded finish, I would say that these were knocked up in about 10 minutes flat. Printing the logo on the top most likely took longer than it took to shamble these into a box shape

I saw the unboxing video, and I saw how much space it has inside. Seems like the contents are pretty lose.

Yes, the contents were pretty loose, although there is a foam insert beneath which fills most of the space. The polo shirt holds anything else in place

It also doesn't seem to matter which format you get it for as the box doesn't indication what game format it originally came with!? (well, not from what I saw in the unboxing video anyway).

Correct. These are not branded at all, and they've obviousy just slipped in the copy of the game as per your choice. In essence, if you're only after the box and the contents then I would advise to order the PC version and swap the game out with the local version of your choice. It would make no difference

If you ordered any of the other editions of this (Ie, the Red Edition or the GAME exclusive Special Edition), you could create some kind of uber-edition

I order the Xbox edition and they sent me the DLC via email and I also found it in my account in the order page.

I don't believe I received such an eMail, but I will double-check

Pretty deceiving though when you expect to have a DLC code card inside the box

Are you saying that the game is actually full German with no English voice or text whatsoever??? :O

I honestly can't tell you as the entire back of the game case is in German. I have no intention on opening it to find out, as I would be pretty stuffed if it turns out that the game is entirely German. I would imagine that this is a localised version of the game intended for the German / Austrian / Swiss market though, so my guess would be yes

EDIT: What the others have said above my post

Yeah the DLC will be in your email inbox xx
