finally a limited edition worthy of the title.
finally a limited edition worthy of the title.
There is nothing in the extra content that screams 100 bucks actually 160.44 for me at checkout. Don't they know that this is a recession. Maybe 250 print run but 1000 and the fact that you can still preorder speaks volumes. Turd alert.

It going to hit hard on your wallets...
The way I see it is that it doesn't have the brand recognition to comand $150. Although it does have a lot of extras--NO game is ever worth $150 upon initial release, atleast not until 2012 when it becomes the norm due to inflation. My advice would be to wait on this to drop in price just like every single other limited edition drops in price. Next year you'll be able to pick this up for $50-70 still sealed.

Please trust me on this. I don't care if you buy it or not, but the history of economics of truly limited editions simply proves this is "worth it".
Yeah I guess i'm thinking too much in terms of what limited editions should be as opposed to that this is actually truly limited.
Gotta admit you almost got me wanting to buy this now *checks wallet*, nevermind.
I agree that it probably won't drop in the long run because of the meager supply, but whether or not 10,000 people will want it is another story.
People will try to flip them for a while after they're released. If it does have potential for appreciation, that won't happen until most of the copies are out of the hands of flippers/dealers and in the hands of collectors. Also, demand will largely depend on how good this game ends up being, and whether or not it's the start of a new franchise. The horizon looks good on both those counts, but we don't know for sure.
How about the Robotech Battlecry Collector's Edition? And that's a far better set then what is being offered here.
"The package will include the game, a soundtrack featuring rerecorded music from the cartoon, a T-shirt with Skull One artwork, five cards featuring preproduction artwork, a lenticular motion card, and individually numbered dog tags"
And it only retailed for $65. They were only sold at electronics boutique, but were eventually clearanced out for $15.
Even the 2nd aniversary white xboxes from japan have steadily gone down in price, and they were each individually numbered xxx/1000.
This "deal" is anything but guaranteed to go up in value.

yeah, I can't see this being worth the cansh either, especially since nobody knows if the games is even any good. Now, if they knocked the production run down to 500, and included something trully limited, like exclusive levels or weapons to this verion that would never be released via DLC, then it would probably be worth the extra cash and a good investment because then it trully would bec ome something that wouldn't be available anywhere else excepth through this version.
Otherwise, this just seems like a collection of readily available stuff all packaged together for one inflated price. Sure there may be "only 1000" of these bungles put together, but it doesn't seem like any part of said bundle will be limited in anyway, maybe the bonus DVD, litho and patch will be exclusive to this version, but that still doesn't justify the extra money.
i dont care if its so limited. its a bunch of crap, and its a shooter.
maybe if this was zelda, or final fantasy.
I gotta agree with DP here. When these are gone they're gonna be difficult to track down.
its also been getting a ton of good reviews. If Dead Space takes off and gets a stronger following after the game is released (through word of mouth, reviews, demos ect.) it will make the LE higher in demand and still just as limited as before. It just came out and hasn't really flopped or anything, and with the good reviews, I don't think it is really going to flop. Can't wait to try out the game.
