The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Collector’s Edition announced

Uhm… no.

Uhm … yes!

The “extremely limited” Collector’s Edition

$149.99/€149.99/ £129.99 and $199.99 in Australia

wow…

Uhm… no.

Edit: Erth combo breaker

That is sooo sexy. I don’t order many CE’s, but this is amazing… Where do I pre-order from?

Pass. They must have found a way to have the book, maps and statues made for twenty dollars so they can make even more profit.

Just bought Morrowind & Oblivion for $10. Side note, why the extra $50 for this edition in Australia? Granted, it’s only $5 more than the UK price & virtually the same as the Euro price… I guess the yanks are the only ones doing well here.
Unfair how us Aussies & you Euros always seem to be charged 33% more than the US of A in almost everything- I don’t see why though, sure postage will be more expensive in most cases but us Aussies only pay 10% tax, where’s the rest going to?

Because your countries have a lot more going on the tax front for publishers and they pass it on to the consumer.

What is this “pruchase” that is being mentioned? xD Some kind of british idea no doubt

@7 more than that, the price is outrageously higher than any CE around these days.

Just 2 examples, of course on PC:

Assassin’s Creed: Animus Edition:
- the game;
- a BIG encyclopedia with exclusive insights on the lore of the series;
- short film Assassin’s Creed: Embers;
- Soundtrack;
- 2 multiplayer skins;
- capacity increase for dards, bombs and knives;
- Brutus Armor from Brotherhood;
- exclusive map.

Price: 79,98 Euros in Italy

Batman: Arkham City Collector’s Edition:
- the game;
- a Batman statue by Kotobukiya;
- Collectible art book
- Early access to the Iceberg Lounge Challenge Map and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns skin;
- Batman: Arkham City album from WaterTower Music including original songs by hit artists, available via digital redemption
- bonus movie Batman: Gotham Knight.

Price: 78,43 Euros from TheHut

They could sell this for $100 or less, but I’m certain they looked at how the Star Wars: The Old Republic CE sold out really fast at $150 and said, “Pfft, we can do that!” Firstly, they underestimate the pure fanboy draw of anything Star Wars (I’m susceptible to it), but further, they simply don’t have enough on offer here. It’s a plastic statue (big and fancy-looking one, yes, but still plastic/PVC), making-of DVDs are kind of nice but not worth any extra money, and the art book will most likely be sold separately for about $20…

Plus they don’t mention anything about any special packaging for the game itself (Oblivion re-release gets a metal tin, but not this?), and if it does come with a map (don’t know, since they don’t mention that, either), it’s probably the same “burlap paper” one that comes with every pre-order. Big, fat PASS for me.

Well, at least theres no monthly fee to add to that.

Oh, didn’t realize it’s plastic. Nevermind then.

Rip off… Count me in for the standard edition, I can buy a shitty pewtar dragon from the shop that sells bongs over the road from me…

guys! they are suing Mojang for using the word “scrolls” in there upcoming game because it might confuse people with this game lols…

@15 Not suing, technically. Just sent a letter. See our post on this from earlier today.

Fuck, I want that map. But I don’t have £129

Ouch.

Sold.

Ouch, though….

This is bullshit! Bethesda were just saying the other day how games are too expensive and now this. I bought the CE for Oblivion for the same price as the standard edition back in the day; which just goes to show you how greedy this industry has become.

THey are a business if people weren’t buying they wouldn’t be offering it.

It doesn’t have lots of collectables and stuff you can spend time reading and looking at. That makes no sense this is an RPG isn’t it?
Although I do always love the ‘making of’ videos.

I’d prefer a In-game dragon my character could fly, rather than a plastic dragon on my shelf proclaiming my geekism :/

Stand tall and proud of geekyism. Theres nothing to be ashamed of I think its quite cool like. Then again I’m probably a little biased.

Yeah…$150? I’ll pass

The extra cash I save from this edition will go towards other games.

This is a complete rip off. Although it is totally worth $150 in my opinion but NOT €150!! $150 = €100 due to massive inflation in the US. We are basically being charged €50 more (the price of a brand new game) than the US for the exact same thing! Absolutely nobody would buy it at $220 which is what we are being asked to pay.

CE’s are getting ridiculous. Was tempted though when I saw the dragon. But then, I refuse to pay the 40 quid completely fabricated “you aren’t in the USA lolz” tax.

149.99 US Dollar = 91.688737 Pound Sterling

NOT

£129.99

GTFO, TBFH
