I have to say my biggest complaint with the CE is the "behind the scenes" video. It's a joke, it's like a four minute long video of a few members of the team talking about it...I feel like I'd already seen that stuff via pre-release interviews.Was really hoping for like the equivalent of like a behind the scenes DVD or something but whatever. The statue made it worth it.

Back on the game though, yeah I really hope all the negative reviews don't hurt Ready at Dawn too bad. The game's definitely getting way more shit than it deserves, considering it's a pretty awesome game. I know I said it already but I really hope to see more from the universe they set up, whether it be expansions or a sequel. I loved Grayson as a character so hope to see more from him as well.

Flatout, after watching your video again I have a feeling someone either opened and resealed my copy at Best Buy, or Sony just did a really terrible job with manufacturing this. My fence piece was quite a bit worse than yours, but like I said I fixed it myself for now. Still kinda silly that they come like that. Additionally I noticed some dings and chips in the steelbook. When I open it it only seems to open from the left side, the right seems to almost stick to the middle fold which is kinda weird. Loving the game but my CE is totally botched up

Lol... I did not even look at the vid. Sometimes they are cool and sometimes they are crappy (but never something I would think it worth while in a CE).

Return it for a full refund and buy one form Amazon

I was laughing about that yesterday as well. I thought to myself "Surely this 4 minute video is just the first clip of the behind-the-scenes feature", nope, it's the whole thing.

They could have at least included all the behind-the-scenes and making-of features from the Playstation YouTube channel on there. That would've been pretty nice, despite already having seen them all. This 4 minute install is just a joke.

IN OTHER NEWS:

Couldn't put the game down yesterday after it was delivered. Played it on and off all day around my regular responsibilities and finally put it down at Chapter 11. I'm playing through on hard, and some parts are frustrating, but generally it's challenging and rewarding with how fun the weapons are to use. I'm going to finish playing it today, then add up my stream times from http://www.twitch.tv/brandon_storm/ to figure out exactly how much time I put into it.

I love this time period and the world is so well realized that I feel like if I ever got bored of the gameplay or story I could just go sightseeing. Great design.

I'll pop back in here with my (mostly) unbiased review once I'm done. But so far, so good.
