Two CEs announced for Bioshock Infinite

[Lemur]

They probably have 1 guy in CS handling everything

Jeezus !! what a palaver. GAME make me very nervous.

Spoke to somebody on the webchat this morn and they said my bank refused the payment. Unreal !!

I've been with my bank for 30 years and they've never blocked a payment yet. I had enough funds and my bank details were up to date and correct.

To get my order reinstated I had to type in my bank details on this webchat screen which i wasn't happy about and when i pointed out that all my bank details were there in my account records, I still had to type them in otherwise the re-order couldn't be processed. I mean, what the frag is that all about ??

Anyway, finally got the money taken from my account and a shipping confirmation received.

And, all this aggravation for a guy who pre-ordered the day it was listed.

Despite getting this sorted I'm still amazed that this outfit can operate with a bunch of monkeys. Online ordering definitely AIN'T the way to go as far as I'm concerned.

Christ, where's the paracetamol

Right, i'm going for a lie down till it gets delivered

Got mine yesterday.. Actually really like the statue, one of the best one to come with a game.

I think this will be my CE of the year even if it is a tad overpriced for what you get. Of course, the statue makes it because the rest of the package is quite bog-standard.

Deciding factor, though, is the game itself. Stunningly beautiful and a solid first person game.

Would like to have seen it come in at under a hundred notes . . .

Yes that statue is fantastic. I wasn't sure how it was going to be at first but once I saw it in the flesh then it was a different story.

My thing with the box set though is that they could have quite easily included the art of book and the Fink steelbook case. They only had to expand the box slightly to fit the book in.

It's not the case of being able to fit them or not

It's a case of having another product to sell and another bonus to give out to encourage pre-orders

That may be the case but I still say that when your paying triple digits for a CE then you'd expect it to have every thing in it. Yes I know this isn't the case. Dead Space 3 being a case in point. They could even have charged a higher price. I'm sure the majority that collect these kind of editions would've paid the extra. You can still have the store exclusive steelbook incentives and sell the art book seperately. I guess it's a question of what people are willing to afford.

Considering there are 3 separate art books available for purchase separately from the little one in the Dead Space 3 CE as well as 5 unique steelbooks, I think that would be a rather large box, don't you?
