Yeah, that currency conversion REALLY hurts there! I used to think $120 was TOO much for a CE (being nearly twice the cost of a regular edition) but now they're going crazy with everyone coming out with the $150 edition. It's like they got together in a back room somewhere and said, "hey, let's sell our biggest CEs for $30 more than last gen, okay?" cuz the whole industry is doing it now!?!

Yeah that is what I said.... should have been a smaller fallen statue (I say smaller because they would not do the one they prototyped as it was too big for the cost I bet).

Even a statue of a Warlock or the Traveler (or even the Sparrow) would have been better then the Ghost... but the Fallen Captain Statue would have been the best choice by far.

Well it is not a big deal if the actually offer value. If the items inside are actually worth what you are paying for and maybe more since it is a bundle. Like the Batman Arkham Rogiins CE... that was actually a great value. So was the God of War Ascension CE.

I have a hard time believing the Ghost figure is worth an extra $50. It is just a plastic case with LEDs and a cheap little voice box.

you know which one sucked?! the damn titanfall collectors edition! 250usd for the piece of shit. Not to mention the size! I got them and once I saw the size of the box I immediately wished I had not bought them needless to say they were outrageous wastes of money.

plus the game sucked. lol no offense anyone.

I'm going to have to agree with you on this one. I honestly do not see the $250 value of the Titanfall CE! I've never played the game, so I can't speak on game playability, but overall CE value wasn't worth it (IMO)...

Agreed. If you purchased it through BestBuy with GCU you got it for $200 which is a bit more palatable, but yeah it was definitely reaching.

I like Titanfall but it was only fun for short bursts and lost its charm fast. It only had so much to offer and in a very short time you had done it all 20 times.

But yeah that CE was not a good value by any means.

i honestly wouldnt pay 100 for it. although i was stupid enough to get them and they were the BIGGEST waste of money ever and i never should have got them. i was just lucky i sold them and got them shipped the hell out of my house.
