I have to admit I haven't played either of them yet. I've got the first through PS+.

I'm trying to think of the last CE I bought and thought "Hey, that's really nice - worth the money !" It was probably the Bioshock 2 CE.

Don't get me wrong here because i really DO like Collectors stuff but it seems to me that, as collectors, we're not really being treated right of late. There have been some major CEs both this and last year but i always have the nagging feeling that there's some issue or other that's kinda taking the joy out of it these days.

Obviously the lies about the "limited" nature of the Loot Chest is overshadowing things here just as it did with the MGS HD LE. Then there are all the online distribution issues and pricing concerns and quality worries and so forth and so on.

I just can't shake the nagging suspicion that I'm being continually fucked over by corporate arseholes who couldn't give a tuppeny fuck about "collectors" per se. Sort of riles me when i think of all the cash i've put in . . .and not just me, of course.

Which leads me to wonder if i won't be secretly glad when the digital download age finally dawns on us. Certainly I'd be happier if all the "special" editions were just like the Dark Souls LE - nice artbook, "making of" DVD and a CD soundtrack . . .all for £40. I'd be happier with that than all of the dicking around with fucking god-awful figurines and backpacks and all that sundry shite.

Anyway, just a few random thoughts . . .

The Bioshock 2 CE was amazing, sadly it bombed in price hard.

LOL at this whole thread - in post 7 of this right at the start i said this would be numbered like the balls of steel edition - this is one instance where i didnt want to be right

@Kennyrh

Think there just gonna give out a dlc card and ce like limbo? Im thinking the digital age will be the death of ce's awell and the closest you will see will be the premium download pack with extra weapons and an xbox live skin

[bigg_k]

i will have to take a look closer at my edition but i got two sets of postcards exactly the same

and the map i got was cloth map but the corner furthest away from the opening/insertion of the packaging for the cloth map was folded back

I have to admit I'm having trouble with mine on the opening it.
I need to press the button and then wiggle the lid (which doesn't seem to be properly aligned as it is) until it clicks open.
