lol Thanks for the offer! XD I would need it for xbox anyway. The one code I've got I'll give to my GF anyway as she's more likely to play the MP than I am! lol Either way, it's the principle. The game was advertised with a pre-order incentive and nowhere did it say at the time of order that I would only get one code per order and this hasn't been an issue in the past when I have ordered multiple copies of games on the same order. Plus, I like to have a good moan on the phone occasionally.

Yeah we all love a good moan about stuff...It's the British way! LOL

Still I wish they had a better pre order bonus for us....A nice exclusive steelie would have been sweet!

Yeah, would have liked a nice steelbook. Need to get round to getting the FS one... 0.o

Yeah you'd think Amazon of all places could wrangle up a better bonus than what they gave us.

I'm happy with my German TR steel though, I don't think I'll be bothering with any others as it's not a franchise I am concentrating on for now...But if I do branch out, like I did from MGS to Mass Effect, Tomb Raider will be my next main interest.

Yeah, I miss the days when we used to get loads of physical pre-order items from retailers in the UK. My favourite was the Red Faction Guerilla Walker figure. Was a nice item to give away with a game and was a good size too. My GF was working at GAME around the time when that came out and they said they must have slung about 20 of those in the skip out the back. Now it's next to impossible to get pre-order items from stores as they have usually ran out! >.<

Well, at least the dev team one.







Posting says: Official illustrated poster commissioned by Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix to promote the upcoming game for global print, covers, and a special gold-foil variant just for the developers. There?ll be more info soon on when and where you can get your hands on the 18?x24? poster and I?ll have some fun behind the scenes pics on its creation in the near future.

So it might be one of those Treehouse will sell?

That turned out nice! I hadn't seen the printed ones yet....

There will be an announcement today about where you can get a pretty limited non-foil-stamped version (in person). I don't know when yet, but we'll be releasing a slightly different configuration online.

Also, stand by for more art, if you're into that.

Intro
Having lost faith in tomb raider, this is a buy after missing many sequels, tomb raider one led me into a lot of trouble in life, after downing a t-Rex i was led to believe i was superhuman and the next day tried to take on a badger in the park, the badger attacked me without mercy and i had to have 2 operations and many years of therapy so this is a big step for me to buy a tomb raider game again.

packaging and dlc


Big enough to store the ashes of multiple loved ones or a big lunch, this tin is moohassive, whatever you use it as people will now you are a survivor and give you instant respect
with art relevant to the game it comes with a cardboard insert in the lid and a slip to put over the tin.



Lazily thrown inside is the survival edition containing art book, map/poster and soundtrack i have put the soundtrack card in my stereo but it does not work



inside survival edition is the game, inside the game are leaflets, 3 page Manuel, hitman absolution in game weapon dlc, 14 day xbox live trial and advertising
it simply does not get any more exciting than that

physical goodies


included is a survival pouch with tomb raider art which is tiny and can in the event of
a tsunami
wild fire
being mugged
set upon by a badger

can be used for none of the above and will more likely hinder than help, but it can hold a pair of socks so you will at least die with warm feet





also included in the tin is a play arts figure that has 150 moveable parts, even more if you smash it with a hammer and only two poses, one 15 minutes struggling to get it to stand and two flat on its back
you get 3 extra hands so Lara can impersonate a Hindu god, a handgun, shotgun bow and arrow and pickaxe.

this little bundle set me back 6000 English pennies and i give it 8/10 as an edition

I would just like to know how long it took you to acquire this many coins and where they were stored in the mean time until they were no doubt put in a sock and sent to hammyzone as payment...?
