Default Re: Borderlands 2 Ultimate Loot Chest Limited Edition & Deluxe Vault Hunter's Colle

Must admit I'm not sure what to make of this edition. The centrepiece, the chest, looks a bit cheap and plasticky up close but looks really cool from a distance. The artbook is of acceptable quality and the bobblehead is nice.

Cloth map is nice too and i was quite suprised by the quality of the journal.

All the other stuff is bog-standard filler and i was a bit disappointed with the large steelbook (hate those bloody things).

I suppose the question is . . .worth a hundred quid?? Well . . .direct comparisons would be the God of War Ultimate Edn and the Uncharted 3 Chest but i have neither of those so i can't compare directly but, from the unboxings i've seen, this holds up fairly well in the content department.

Also the Sonic Generations CE was the same price for a lot less . . .so . . .looking at stuff like the Risen 2 CE and the Prototype 2 Blackwatch at £70 for a LOT LOT less - this seems like a decent buy to me.

And the game ??. . .haven't a fuckin' clue

The journal was a bit pants IMO - looks like an old journal from the pics but it's nowt more than a glossy mini-book.

WRT Uncharted (US CE or UK EE?) I'd say:

U3 EE> U3 CE> Borderlands 2

Borderlands 'cloth' map is more like a fuzzy felt thing, much prefer the map with the Zelda CE Guide.

The Bobblehead seems good quality - better than the U3 statue for sure.

But then we have:

U3 EE chest vs Borderlands chest - knockout in the first round to U3
U3 Journal case vs Borderlands steelbook - easy win for U3
U3 Ring v Borderlands art book - easy win for U3

If it were U3 CE (US version) it'd be closer, but man dat ring & steelbook seal the deal for me.
