I didn't catch that interview although I did watch a really good half hour interview with adam sessler (remember him from xplay on g4?) Anyway its on rev3 games where he works now, it really shows how creative and inspired by history his games are, best interview I've seen yet. On youtube just type rev3 ken levine its a two part interview, reaching for the heavens and making elizabeth

Thought I'd post this. I sent a query to support as soon as I had trouble the first time. Bad news for those wanting a signed copy. The reply came in this morning, just a few hours ago.

Hello,

We do not currently have any more in stock of the autographed copies.

We apologize for this inconvenience.

Thank you,

Just curious if any one else has gotten shipping confirmation. I havnt yet. Maybe because the weekend.another question, I have been trying to research this more, apparently it will come sealed in a bioshock envelope, sealed with a sticker. Do you open it,i think I would have to.i always leave sealed things sealed but I think I would have to see what number I had gotten or see if its even signed, then display in a glass book case with the envelope and printed confirmation emails if there is no certificate of authenticity.that way you have a bill and order number from irrational.any thoughts?

I got shipping confirmation about a day after. I've seen the photos of the white packaging for it - looks like this:




Like you both mentioned, I always like to leave things sealed, but usually that's for shrink wrap, etc, and not 'packaging' per se. At least with shrink wrap (like the Rapture Record from Bio 2), you can still see the item. It'd annoy me to not be able to see the book at all. And like you, I must know what number it is! In fact, I'm still skeptical that they've sent me a signed one at all and I'll always have that doubt unless I see it for myself. I'll keep the packaging as well and display it with the order confirmation as mentioned already.

Actually, as I ended up buying two of these (one signed and one unsigned), I think I'll keep the unsigned one sealed and then I can display them together that way. Decisions, decisions!

It is a shame to have no certificate of authenticity - it's not mentioned so I doubt there will be one. I find it really odd as well, I mean 1 in 15 after all! I actually think I will make my own - copy the design of the certificates I already have from Irrational (minus any sigs since they would only be copies and not originals) and then edit in the item and number, etc. At least it will then match as well. Oh, so excited!

I'm not a fan of this for an item of this nature. Guess you just have to hope they got your order correct and sent you the right version (signed versus unsigned)...or open it.

This is disappointing, $230 dollars and they cant use a paper and printer to print a COA? I genuinely think companies nowadays dont understand the 'collector'

[Madigan]

If there's no physical difference between the signed and unsigned book + no COA, then you can easily buy the unsigned version, fake the signatures and put it up on ebay. How can you prove that yours is legit?

[MortalMonday]

I haven't gotten shipping confirmation. I'm all but certain that this is because it's the weekend. I expect a tracking number on Monday. Good question on the sealed bit.

I'll probably be opening mine for the same reasons you stated. I'd be dying to see the number and sigs. We'll see though. I may just leave it sealed. I'll just have to wait until it's actually in my hands to decide.

[MortalMonday]

Probably the best way to establish authenticity would be via invoices and the order confirmation emails that came directly from Irrational.
