I was wondering, am i the only person who gets special editions here?

Just a thought as i have £180 pounds going out end of feb time on 4 games

I have some special editions, though I've gone off them now. I'll get them if they're a similar price to the other version, but won't spend loads on them.

Price: £49.99

Pre-order 4:

£70 on one game? WHY?

Same for the Halo Wars £50, actually.

TBH, the most I spend on a game is £25 these days, maybe £30 if it's a big game and I really want it, but generally I will spend in the sub £20 region with slightly old games or special offers on Steam etc.

well alot of games for the 350 and PS3 are 40 - 50 normally so thats standard

the £70 yes is alot that was the price of the ledgendary edition of halo 3 which i add i also have other there >

Maybe i should past pics and estimated prices xD

I don't buy many games anymore, definitely don't pay over £30 and I'm not too fussed about special editions.

it's partially an investment if i sell them years later i hope and plus some of the editions are very cool :O.

Maybe, but they'd be worth way more if you didn't open them and never played them In which case it's kinda pointless buying them :O

I don't think special editions are worth that much in that respect, unless they are truly limited. I think the special editions are the ones with extra stuff, like art books and feature DVDs, maybe the soundtrack etc, whereas limited come with something that will be hard to get after. Still, not much of an investment.

I'll have that months trial card off you at Easter Unless it wont work on an already activated account lol ^^

pfft card is mine >.> biatch lol

and the halo helmets are limited only so many made worldwide still a large number ish though

Pre-order Resi 5, special edition, it's only like £5 more. If you like that kinda thing.

I have no game special editions, but i have got some good ol' '2 DISC SPECIAL EDITION DVD'

yeh...

i sometimes get special editions, wont go out of my way for them though.
ordered my DoW2 at HMV which was £10 more than yours maybe thats special edition, if there even is one?
note: i used 2 x £20 HMV card.
preorderd Re5 and Silent hill also from game

strange but game is selling the steelbook at same price as normal DOW........

Also i canceled halo wars i see my self playign it for about 3 hours and losing interest.....

but i found out my pre-order in-store for street fighter 4 gets me a third figure xD. you get ryu and .viper in the collectors...not that im bothered cept they look collish and they are extra...

But game in-store is giving a Chun-Li figure for preorders lol

yay more useless tosh that i like
