another CE you can add to the list is the "Survival Edition" of Fallout 3 seems to have retained it's original $150 value.

this is another CE that I couldn't justify the price on when new and now I'm kicking myself for not getting... it seems to fetch nearly as much as Dead Space ULE these days.

What's the difference between the Survival Edition and the collector's edition?

they're both part of the NTSC region, and consoles run on 60Hz 120V power, and both use the ESRRB rating system, yes but there are difference between the US and Canada.

by law media released in Quebec must have the product title in both English and French, a lot of releases (example: DR2 Zombrex Edition) are like that for both US and Canada, however a lot of times the Canadian release will have a slip cover with slightly different wording to meet the criteria of the law.

there have been a couple of Canadian exclusive CEs as well, for instance the Forza 2 CE was Canada only. More often then not they get short changed though with a lot of CEs being US only.

I can't imagine it's hard to get US only releases in Canada though...

The Survival edition includes everything from the Collector's Edition in addition to a replica Pip-boy 3000, and it all comes in a larger cardboard box.



supposedly with a little modification you can wear it too.

there was one up on ebay not too long ago where someone had hacked in a media computer with an interface exactly like the one in game as well as working buttons etc.

That replica Pip-boy 3000 really does make a difference, it looks amazing.

Sorry to tell you guys this is artifically being inflated with fake bids.

You can tell with all the 0 and low feedback bidders.

The seller will simply use a second chance offer for the offical one who bid was completely maxed out.

Complete waste of time, it's a common thing with these sort of items.

The max real bid is $900 and that his max bid that would have likely won.

The real value is $500-750 max depending on the condition.
