Yeah store once soldout here have them up for pre-order again, not all though.

It seems they are increasing there supply or there was an increase in allocation to certain stores.

I can no longer find the Balls Of Steel Edition available on the HMV site. ShopTo.net still have it for £64.85 though...

I've just Tweeted GAME again to see if they will lower the price:

Will do, I still find it hard to believe the price is so high considering the competition.

They do it every time with various high-priced CE's. But I think they have a nerve when there are at least two other competitors who're offering it for less than £10 less!

Received my Duke Nukem Forever - Balls Of Steel Edition just now, and I must say... The promotional pictures are indeed deceiving!

I was expecting a package equal to the size of the Killzone 3 Helghast Edition / Crysis 2 Nano Edition / Halo Reach Legendary Edition etc, but it's actually no bigger than the Avatar / Fallout 3 GAME exclusive / Splinter Cell: Conviction / Bioshock CE's!

I was quite shocked to receive such a small package, as I had expected something much larger! But what it lacks in size, it makes up for in weight. I would say it must weigh a good 5Kg at least! That Duke bust is certainly no cheap shitty plastic mould, I can tell you that! The front of the box is also not a solid flat pane - It's an open window and the moulded plastic packaging blister is shaped around th Duke bust, so be careful if you're handling a sealed copy as I almost put my finger through!

This is one quality CE, and despite its size it sure packs a lot of stuff into such a small box!

COME GET SOME!!!

Thanks for the pictures, it looks considerably smaller than the promo pictures. Would you say it about the same size as the mortal kombat edition?

matze1975 · #18 06-09-2011, 10:07 PM

It´s as big as the Bioshock Collectors Edition with the Big Daddy!

Littlefeet1 · #19 06-10-2011, 04:10 AM

Thanks for the pics. I'll be getting mine soon too.

No, definitey not that large! Like I say, it's the size of most other CE's hich come with a figure. So Bioshock, Fallout 3, Splinter Cell: Conviction, Avatar, Aliens Vs Predator etc...

Mortal Kombat 9 and Vanquish are much larger than this edition
