Borderlands 2 Ultimate Loot Chest Limited Edition & Deluxe Vault Hunter's Collector's Edition announced

@vhal_x i know that you have a cloth map cause my map was not even in an cellophane bag... it was just put inside the box like it was a piece of paper... Which it kinda is

[vhal_x]

Ah, thanks

That sucks for you I hope they replace yours with what was promised, as that's false advertising!

I wonder if they thought we'd all just sit here and just accept it? Maybe they thought we wouldn't even notice. Grr xx

[DarkKitarist]

yeah sucks for me but i still have my game.co.uk edition that will be sent to me in about a week... I hope that i will get the cloth map then...

Actually i thing they just don't care... And i think no matter what i do... I will accomplish nothing... I'm too small they are too big... It's like going against a Rak Hive with a spoon...

[vhal_x]

Is anybody else's Loot Chest like this?

I've taken pics as I walk round it, to show what I mean.

Front view:



Front-to-side:



Side-to-back:



Back view:



So if you walk round the CE, the back is upside down, in relation to the front xx

Sorry my sticker is wrinkly, it wrinkled when I picked it up to put it on the table haha xx

[DarkKitarist]

nope at least mine is right side up... Which is to no consolation to me...

I don't know what you guys expected from this edition. I cancelled my pre-order as soon as I saw that generic chinese plastic box, that's unacceptable, it looks like a cheap toy. Missing parts, bobbleheads, no cloth maps, weird COAs... They clearly made this edition with the word "cheap" in mind, and we still overhyped this like a holy grail.

MGS HD, Mass Effect, Borderlands, what's next?

[DarkKitarist]

you know what we expected? I'm speaking for my self but... As with any collectors edition i was expecting that if some one puts a lot of effort into a game that the presentation of a CE would be exceptional... But i know that the companies now don't care about this... But some developers do... I develop games and i know that when and if i hit it big... If the game is great put it in a great box and that will make an awesome game...

PS. also i expected a cloth map

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.

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.
