PS3 The Last Of Us Collectors Edition?

[Twisted]

yes naughty dog rep did come out and say on a blog something to the effect..."we have not decided yet whether to do a collectors edition or not..keep your fingers crossed"..so as of this week..it appears no decision has been made,..just discussion at the moment.

Hoefully a CE but under ?100.

[SwiftDeath]

Is there no petition somewhere asking for a CE?

A lot of developers take into account their fans opinions on this stuff.

Not that it would automatically get us a CE but it certainly could help push it in the right direction.

I imagine it would help the developers sell the idea to the publishers or however CEs are decided in the biz if they could show them what the fans want.

I think the above is why gearbox had the "what do you want for a borderlands 2 CE" same with the dead island riptide CE.

Not only do they tailor their CEs to sell the most possible (I.e. interest the most people with stuff that ppl wanted) but they can also gauge the general interest in a CE for the game.

I'll look into making a petition tomorrow I got to get some sleep

[comaamen86]

course they will, they like money, its all about the dollar these days

It's really funny how people go crazy foe CEs.

I'm mean it would be totally fine if they announce a CE a week before the game launchs...which is in May....

Same with all those Amercans who complaint half a year before the games release for a AC III CE, and started a childish petition, only because Ubisoft Europe announced one.

I truly hope they don't make a non-sense CE for this, I'd be happy with just a global steelbook and no other special editions.

The Last of Us will be all about the game for me, I don't want ND to whore out the franchise and devalue its potential to be known for its game not a crappy failed CE (questionably).

But what I would like to see more than anything is a Ballistic Publishing treated LE Folio Art Book in very limited quantity like they did for Uncharted 2.

[zyntex]

A digipack with something like Artbook (with commentary), soundtrack, making of Br would be really nice.

I realky hope they don't do anything like figurines or other nonsense goodies (backpack for example).

[rapidly-greying]

The pal uncharted 3 journal type game case really is gorgeous. I'll take a wee Bayonetta climax edition with a steelbook inside and a similar style journal thing full of game art with a soundtrack cd inside it and maybe some postcards or/and a nice looking map.

Definitely not a monster statue. A nice lenticular of Joel and Elle(that their names?)

@ zyntex

We are on CE.org last time I looked, strange you find it surprising some of the members here actually care about CE's

I am personally more dedicated to steelbook collecting than CE's but if it's for a game I'm excited about/from a developer I love, I really would like a nice CE to be able to look at in a year's time once the game has been beat and stored somewhere out of sight.

That "childish" petition you mentioned for AC III makes perfect sense to me and seems completely reasonable if you remember that the previous AC title Revelations had NO CE release in the states. Absolutely nothing special was released for it. And no one better say there was a gamestop CE because creating a bundle by throwing in random figures that are sold separately ain't a CE.

So while we got nothing for Revelations, Europe got the collector's edition, the animus edition, and the black box edition. While we could have gotten these shipped over, most AC fans don't collect foreign items as well. Plus now my NTSC AC CE collection will have a permanent hole in it sigh

@ matirx

lol

We all have our own personal preferences for sure and no one's preferences are wrong but I'm on the opposite side of the fence

I assume by the crappy failed CE you mean the Uncharted 3 NTSC CE?

If so, while I agree they overproduced the crap out of it, I actually love the CE itself. I love good quality figurines/statues and the Nathan statue is very good quality. The ring is wearable as is the belt buckle. Not really a fan of the belt buckle but the ring is cool. I'm also a sucker for nice packaging and the travel chest packaging is really nice, even the outer box has good artwork on it.

I would LOVE a folio for the Last of US. I'm not sure where I sit on steels tbh. One global steel is easier to get but having multiple variants improves the chances I'll really like one of the steel's itself

I would def prefer a steel to a digipak although digipak is totally 2nd on the list if steel is not an option. That European Uncharted 3 digipak is super nice

As I have said I love good quality figures so I would love to see that if they do it right

[zyntex]

What I mean is there is so much time before the game comes out, be patient.

The European HQ of Ubisoft announces a CE and then the US HQ also, directly, have to announce one? That is my point nothing else.
