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

i think you hit the spot sir!...they probably sent the original as intended stock..all of it redirected to the US,..instead of splitting the 53,000 between the territories..and printed and made probably 100,000 extras for the pal territories....JUST LIKE THE METAL GEAR SOLID HD ZAVVI EXCLUSIVE FIASCO in the beginning what it was initially promoted as to where they ended up with it because of $$$$$$$

That makes sense. 53k for the US and 55k+ for the rest of the world? That means it's not as 'limited' as they said. It's really annoying when they do things like this.

Why can't these publishers just leave well enough alone!? Why can't they just let us have one truly rare collector's edition?! Bah!

That's why I really don't even like buying CEs these days. They print way too many copies to ever make them feel like special items.
Not only do they make too many, most of the time the quality of the contents of CEs is downright awful.

I agree, quality seems to get a little worse with each new release, regardless of who publishes it. Look at where we are now versus some of the things we used to get (e.g. compare the construction of the Big Daddy Figure that came with the Limited Edition of BioShock vs. the figures that came with inFamous 2 or Uncharted 3 (of course even here you have to ignore the issue of the poorly packaged Big Daddy). Speaking of which...poorly constructed packaging has always been an issue, and doesn't seem to be improving...

I think CEs are getting too toyish or extremely pompous (Skyrim, Call of Duty, Crysis 2) for my taste. A little figurine or a prop is nice (the vinyl LP in the Bio2 CE was a nice touch) but this is going out of control. I prefer more media (a proper A4 artbook, soundtrack CD, dvd/blu ray making of, steelbook, posters, lithos, props, etc) and less plastic or unnecesary extras.

Totally agree! I'm satisfied if CE contains quality artbook (A4 format is the best), artworks/artcards/lithographs, physical OST disc, some special digipack/steelbook and special themed packaging (Codex Edition, Risen 2 Keg Edition, Diablo 3 CE, Heroes VI CE, The Witcher CE, Fable 3 CE, Fallout 3 CE....). I also really love if there are also map (cloth at best) or some nice figurine. That's why I love RPG's CE's and RPG's at general. Because they meet these requirements by far the best.

That's why I loved the Resistance 3 Steelbook with it's vinyl disc.
