I completely agree that collectors editions should be limited to 5,000 or less. These mass produced collectors editions drop in price so much it's appalling!!! And usually since there are so many collectors editions made, the quality of the contents suffer.

I honestly think the quality of the contents suffered on this GotG edition because it's essentially a glorified Wub Wub edition. When a company decides to create another collectors edition, they need to make it unique and different than the other ones it has coming out.

Volition, or whoever created this edition, should have said "lets create an all new edition of SR4 and have it limited to 5,000 worldwide. They needed to create the edition from scratch. (Or at least have enough unique items created and added to this edition to make it unique from the Wub Wub edition.)

Instead what they did was take the Wub Wub edition's contents and added in a numbered display case,cloth, and unique cardboard box and limited THAT to 5,000.

So in essence this edition is VERY misleading, because it's the display case, cloth and box that's limited to 5,000 and not really the whole edition itself...

The GotG edition was a no-brainer for me. As a DJ I just HAD to have that dubstep gun. Easy sell on their part.

I also plan to make full use of the case after I run into the devs/VAs.

Guessing you wouldn't care but what happens if there's different seals depending on region?

GoW Omega Edition has a sticker in Mexico but fully sealed in Brazil (I think it's Brazil?)

Haha, you're probably better getting one off of eBay. This one ended at less than what it was purchased for on launch day. $112? It's obvious the CE world is below fair market value nowadays...lol

yea..that e-bay listing is hilarious..the seller LOST money especially with ebay fees..seller would have been better off just returning it for a full refund..i bet he feels like a dimwit...seller probably thought it'd go for $1,000...that restock on amazon surprises me.

I'm sure it is not Amazon's fault to restock. Probably are sellers that bought 10-20 of them thinking it is rare and see that the could not sell them at all after the unboxing and decided to cancel them all.
