Ryan will the steelbook have a disk holder slot? or will it just be for contents of the CE?

also do you guys plan to do this for future games? (fallout 4 maybe?)

Yeah, it's got an insert that holds four discs, so you're set if you get it on 360, and you'll have some nonsense extra slots if you get one of the new platforms. Proper steelbook.

There were some extenuating circumstances in this specific case, but I stand by the idea for future releases. Where possible we'll probably still offer a version with the game as well, but until we get better at shipping games to people with no issues, it's something I'd rather leave up to the pros (I posted my rationale in a little more length in the other thread).

I'm actually happy to see this edition without the game. I posted my thoughts on the thread for the CE, but mainly in case I don't like/want the game right away but I still want the content, this works perfectly.

I support this type of CE Ryan!

It's not a CE though. It's just memorabilia it does not matter what they call it. I hope this does not get added to the database, I still do not understand why the dead space dev team edition is in there.

It looks nice though if you collect that kind of stuff.

Well like I said while some people don't believe this to be a Video game CE..it's still a CE.
CE stands for collector's edition, and this is that, or well it can also be called a LE if you wish. I don't know if it should be added as a VGCE, but it certainly is a memorabilia CE.

That's like saying a statue isn't a CE if it doesn't come with the game

Yeah, I meant in terms of it being a VGCE. To me it's just a LE edition collectible that I have no interest in, but if they threw the game in I'd buy it in a second leave it sealed and never know the difference.

I completely see your side. There are many types of collectors out there. And I get that without the game, this loses that VGCE status.

Regardless to me is still a great edition (as was the DS3 Dev Team Ed.) I am not a dedicated collector, plus the 5k production limit does make it a lot more appealing. I actually don't care too much for the game (although I loved Return to Castle Wolfen.) but I do love the content of this CE!

Hi Ryan,

I would love to know if all of these classified documents are in German? I noticed that the letter on the picture is written in German. Is it a authentic letter from WWII?

They mostly are. It was meant to all be in-fiction (the original idea was something that felt like mementos that might conceivably have been kept from someone that went through the game's war, but some of the items didn't come out right and the statue was just too cool to pass on). There are maps and plans relating to actual in-game sequences. The blueprints are stamped as originating from London Nautica, so they're in English, but everything else is German. I _think_ the letter was written by someone at Machine Games.... They laid out most of the documents for us so they would be more accurate.
