I'm technically paying £35 more for the extra bits - it's debatable as to their value until I have it in my hands (and have played the game) - but if I love the game then it's worth every penny.

It is a shame it's not also a steelbook tho...in fact are any R* games steelbooks?

^ THIS!

This is exactly how I view things when I am buying CEs. When you're technically gonna be spending £40-£50 on a standard copy of most games, an extra £10-50 isn't that much when you look at the extra contents you'll be receiving.

And also yeah, I wish steelbooks were standard in CEs, and also that all of the top tier CEs (where there is no CE better than it for that particular game) are numbered. That would be awesome xx

I must admit that the videos I've seen have left me a little underwhelmed, but like I said - if I love the game I'd only be trying to track it down.

The main issue I have with this game is that I've had to buy 3 versions to get all the pre-order & collectable goodness...it better be a good game!!

It's certainly something you have to consider but the main problem with CEs is that the game itself normally comes in at £10 below RRP whereas the CE or LE is always quoted at full price.

For me, anyway, CE's should always be £10 or so cheaper. Then you look at what you get in Dark Souls LE, for instance, at the reduced RRP of £40 and then compare the content with something like the Prototype 2 Blackwatch edition (RRP £70) and you wonder who's taking the piss.
