Title: Im done with gamestop exclusive LE's
Post by: abrader on June 12, 2008, 04:13:12 PM: What a pile of shit they are.

Atlus and Working Designs LE's are awesome. Gamestop LE's always under-deliver.

in most recently memory I have been let down by;

- Ninja Gaiden SIGMA Gamestop exclusive LE - What did I get for my money? a flimsy cardboard sleeve, the game and a shitty low res sub 480i quality DVD with image quality often surpassed by you tube videos.

- Metal Gear Solid 4 LE - total bait and switch.....when i walked in to gamestop to pre-order they had a large poster showing what was included. it showed the soundtrack disk, a poster and an art book. The actual game in the LE bundle in the clear PS3 case DID NOT have this artwork;

but instead showed the clear PS3 case with the LE artwork...

I decided to spend the extra dough for the soundtrack and to have a copy of the game in a clear PS3 case with the superior artwork.....

so I get home with it, open the LE box only to find that the clear PS3 game case just has the normal old off the shelf MGS4 artwork with snake looking like one of the village people and NOT the game case artwork shown in the in store poster about the LE.

Gamestop LE's are always overpriced and they always under-deliver.

They stick a bunch of shit together that you should just get for free as a preorder bonus and call it a gamestop exclusive LE.

skuzzy ass bastards.

There was an additional giant artbook you should've received when you picked up your copy, by the way.
