Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

[goonergaz]

ok so finally opened mine and I have to say I'm disappointed by this CE - the plastic used is sooo cheap and all the fingers are the same size so it looks a bit weird, on the plus side the steelbook is a bit better looking than I imagined...but overall a missed op, the arm should have been better quality.

What makes it worse is the poor packaging from game meant some damage to the box and because they use some glue type stuff to stick the card on the outside of the 'presentation box' it's damaged the card and 'blistered' the cheap box.

Edit - added pics;

I think it is the color (like the console). That type of red book cheaper then it is. I thought it was decent and accurate. Also I learned the fingers on snake's bionic arm are all the same because it is a bionic arm and not a real one.

Also people need to remember... you paid $40 for a replica, DLC, steelbook, and collectors box. Not too bad really considering the replica is like $10 in that math. I think people look at it as $100 and forget they would have spent $60 just for the game (I do this too and have to correct myself all the time).

Eh, sorry but actually us over here didn't pay $40.

I personally don't have a complaint about the edition (other that possibly being a little light on physical content) but for the sake of clarity, Gaz is from the UK too where in total it was £100, so we paid £60 for that additional content (since the plain game is around £40), that works out at ~$91.46.
