It's purely because the artbook is so big, trust me it's a quality book. :D I know what you mean though my shelves are groaning at the moment!

I was interested in this because it apparently comes with the full DOA5 demo (4 characters instead of 2) but I think I'll just wait for the full game. I'm not a big enough NG fan to justify another huge box for the sake of a demo even though I think the games are really cool.


I'm a huge Ninja Gaiden fan so I had to buy this - Look at all that lovely tat!! :D

My general rule is if it has a figure, then i don't get it (i did break that to get the Fallout3 one as it was only a tenner). Those tend to take up more room - but i have just bought one with a car so there's not much logic in that! I love Skyrim but the size of that box was just unreal. It went down to about £60 in the end but i would have nowhere to actually put it.

Quite fancy the AUS one myself.



whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat, this game comes out NEXT FREAKING MONTH?!?!?

Aaaagh. I'd completely forgotten!

I'm so big on fighting games too, and a huge fan of Blazblue in general.... it's like, argh, how did I not know this?

Crap.

I need this whole thing, here. Dunno if this particular LE will be hitting the states, and I dont normally bother with limited/collectors editions of games, but THIS one is different.

Now if only this had more than just ONE new character.... but I digress. Need it regardless.

I see that this version of The Witcher 2 is available to pre-order now, but nowhere can I see The Dark Version. Are we even getting it?

EDIT

Just noticed on GAME that there's a page for it, but no way of pre-ordering it yet.

I watched a couple of unboxing videos yesterday and whilst clicking on various links I came across(not literally)this gorgeous 19 year old called Megan Lee Heart.

I'm in love.




I pre ordered the last story yesterday. Hopefully it will increase in value over the years and i'll eventually sell it.

Just cancelled about 3 LE pre orders I had.
Had a long think about it and I looked at some of the tat ive collected through previous sets and realised that I have no use for it all.
Glad I realised this sooner then later.
