GTA_Godfather Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 If the music CD is truly exclusive, meaning the songs WON'T appear on any later official GTA IV soundtrack box set (like they did with San Andreas and Vice City), then it MAY be worth it. As far as the other garbage goes, I'm sure it's all low quality stuff (i.e. made in China). It has to be, because R* has to make a profit it off it and US$30 isn't all that much for the lock box, duffel bag, booklet, CD, and keychain. Unless it's high quality stuff (meaning they'd have to charge more for it), then it's nothing special. If you want a duffel bag or metal box, I'm sure you can find nicer ones out there. You're paying for the R* logo on this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technods Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I think its pretty obvious that those who are saying the SE is crap are saying that because they can even afford the £18. Its £18 extra for all the SE stuff. Its an awsome deal, Yeah it will be made in china but guess what - Every Fu*king thing is. AS for it being ott I kinda agree, But what else could they other you that gta related but not Illegal? I just pre-ordered mine today, Say what you like but Im proud to buy My first Gta game in style. I dont have a problem with people not getting the SE. But people saying its crap when they secretly want it themselves is just pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padmoi Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 anyone else think there'd be a particular reason for them giving it all in a bank safety deposit box. i smell a clue scooby.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 anyone else think there'd be a particular reason for them giving it all in a bank safety deposit box. i smell a clue scooby.... Yes, i definitely thinks it's a clue of having the ability to Rob banks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padmoi Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 or that the whole point of the game revolves around a safe deposit box perhaps??? but then again it could just be because it's really cool to get gtaIV stuff in one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technods Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Its the CRIME KIT MUHAHAHA, lol I bet he uses some of the stuff in the game, Dose it all come inside the box? I just hope I dont Loose the Fukin Keys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FelipeVinhao Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 You'll get a dollar store grade duffel bag and some illustrations. The metal box isn't even good enough to hide porn from yo-momma. my momma? I don't think so! You shoudn't be playin this game if your still hiding porn from your "momma" BOT The special edition looks wicked and I ordered it the day GTA 4 special edition was annocued Also is that PEGI official or just there for cases sake? You and FelipeVinhao should get Darwin awards... Oh, I don't have words to show my gratitude... If I used the only I remembered, I'd be banned. But I more evoluted than that. From what what I see the special edition is only worth the extra media. If your the type who drives a 4x4 to the grocery store then you'll probably buy it just for the fake intrigue responses you get from your friends who think you're compensating for being boring. Are you on crack, dawg? First, I'm Brazilian, not American. Then, you compared bananas with tomatoes. I mean, the semelhance between a guy who drives a SUV just to get to the next block and some (not all!) fanboys who buy all the "special editions" they find is just to say "L00KZ 1 HAEV 17 LOLZ, U D0N7, U SUX". But the ones who buy the "special edition" because it's cool is not the same sucker who guzzles gas to cross the block. If you don't want, it's your right, they can't force you. Others will buy, because it's cool or only to say "I HAEV". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmarn Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 nice one... nice details on the train.. Not because i'm a fanboy or anything... i just didn't like the green case of the Xbox... it didn't look nice at all They should make it transparent gray or something... or black... That looks a lot better. Sadly that is not controlled by the dev. i know But if i had a xbox i'd switch with a dvd cover anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FelipeVinhao Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 One doubt I have about the DVD cover by the way: the special edition wouldn't be whole black, as they were on beta, with "special edition" written, as shown on Rockstar Warehouse? Before saying that it's because those pictures weren't updated, the normal ones WERE UPDATED. Images: Xbox360 common, Xbox360 special, Playstation3 common, Playstation3 special.

Jayt001 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I really wanna get the Special Edition. The only thing is, I don't think I want to preorder it, I would rather go to the shop to get it, it's kinda like a tradition. Do you think all of the SEs will be sold out by then though?? I really want the duffel bag with the bright orange lining and the soundtrack, and the artwork, I want it all!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reptilexcq Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I just ordered GTAIV SE on Gamestop.com. You know how expensive it is?? It costs about $120.10 but i only have to pay $96.95 since i have a COUPON for FREE OVERNIGHT SHIPPING and $10 discount. Anyway, some of things i like and don't like even though i buy it anyway since i want to take advantage of free coupon. I like the fact that they include all these things like duffel bag and safety box and music cd. But i don't know why they're not making the game disc with a mental tin box like every other "SPECIAL EDITION." From GOW to Halo 2 & 3 i mean every one of them has tin box associate with the "SPECIAL EDITION" label. At least make the game box special and unique, not like a regular game box. I thought GOW SE's box is the coolest...follow by Halo 3 box of course. And i thought they should include something like a "making of GTA IV" DVD or something w/ footages and trailers and interviews...ect.. That would complete the SPECIAL EDITION for me.

TenEightyOne Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 srsly you all would buy a turd if it said GTA IV on it A GtaIV turd? Seriously? I'm getting my coat on and going down to GameStation RIGHT NOW!!! I can't believe I missed out on some GTA merchandise. Can you guarantee that your Turd will come out by 29th April?

weirdal Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Too bad they got rid of the cool jewel case for the CD and replaced it with some cheap looking cardboard sleeve. Ah well. Even if the stuff isn't worth 40 bucks, I like to support Rockstar for creating such awesome games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say that, despite the bad english grammar, I take your retort more seriously then the others I've been given here. It actually has a valid point rather than asking me if I wrote what's in the post they quoted. Also even though this looks like labeled cheap merchandise -It's reinforcing T2 in it's battle with EA, so buy it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
