Statue of Lilith and sold.
P.S. Steam better be a participating retailer who gets the Mechromancer.

‘£99.99 on Xbox 360/PS3 or £74.99 on PC’
srsly? That’s 33% more. £25 fucking pounds.
Sometimes I really envy you PC guys …

Indeed, they can keep the gubbins, give me the game and don’t short me a class Gearbox!

@3, that’s what Microsoft/Sony take.

@ #3, there’s only £10 difference between the standard versions of the game on Amazon.co.uk which makes it even weirder.

@6: No it’s not. Normally the difference is about £10, which makes this so weird

Are they doing a Digital Deluxe version? I don’t really want physical tat tbh.

I’m horribly tempted by the ultimate loot edition simply because I don’t have a container that looks like it’s cell-shaded in my life right now.
I most likely won’t, but still, their whimsy is commendable.

Now that’s the kind of collectors edition I might be interested in.
It doesn’t just have to be junk, it has to be interesting junk.

@10: Well, I would have to buy a lot of games to actually get something out of it. I really don’t care about the graphics so I would have to buy about 80 games (if you say that a gamer PC costs 800 bucks (€, that is)). I really don’t play that much (about 10-12 games a year I’d say) so for me it would be kinda stupid to buy a PC.

Seeing this collectors editions, makes me wish that physical releases never cease to exits, i know digital distribution is the future, but i hope somehow they can co-exist together, just for this reason alone, this will be the first in years iam considering in actually getting, nice work guys.
