d00d Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Oh boy...I want this so badly, but at the same time I'm telling myself not to waste the money. Stupid brain. And as always, Jordan with his finger on the pulse. Nice work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rown Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Jordan... you make me happy in places. Kick ass, I might just buy the Special Edition without even having the 360 yet... I need its gloriousness. Thanks for the heads up. Rown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 So it's like $100 when tax is included. Insane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knife Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I was expecting this. It's a silly waste of money... but I'll be getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parry Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I want to get it but its the money factor Im sure scans of the artwork would show up all over the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodBen Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I opened this thread thinking "Aww man, I knew they were going to get the money out of me some way! But I'm still buying!" Now after reading what's in it, I don't think I will. It just doesn't seem compelling enough for the price they're asking. At the end of the day I want to game, not the extras.

Hmmm nice bike Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Awesome! I was just able to get my dad to spend the $90 on it, so I don't have to worry about using my own money, and he'll pre-order it so I don't have to be all over the place looking for a store that has one in stock! This special edition sounds great! Also, good job on finding this, Jordan! Claude94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbilly123 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 The concept art book will be scanned and posted on here anyway so what is the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truthspitta Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 (edited) Always on the ball Jordan. Nice. I've already assigned money to get it. I'm a sucker for merchandise... Anyone else reckon the products hint at game play elements. Going to collect something from a safety deposit box. Stuffing a dufel bag with $100 notes/contraband... weapons!!!

Helsinki Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I'll just buy the regular version, and spend the extra money on another controller or something. I don't think it'll become a huge collectible or anything. Thanks for the info, Jordan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruinfany2k Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 If i wasn't getting two copies of the game (one for me and one for my brother for his birthday). I may consider this but since buying two games and having them overnighted will cost me an arm and a leg to begin with i just do not think i would be able to afford a special value pack.. Sorry R* I wish I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldrusher Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 A little expensive, but what you get is pretty cool. Any euro price announced yet ? I would've thrown in a few business cards, pamflets and brochures of stuff & people you encounter in the game. And I hope we get a badass city map.

Well this is an uneducated guess but if you convert the US dollar figure into Euros it comes out to 89.99 US Dollar(s) = 66.7996 Euro(s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCtheMC Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 No worries, it'll be easily around 80 to 90 euro's. No less. If anyone sees the Euro pre-order for this, please post a link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
