Post by: demi on July 18, 2008, 11:23:50 PM: You mean the biggest fans who didn't buy the first LE? lol

Post by: MCD on July 18, 2008, 11:23:56 PM: i dunno...i didn't like the inside packaging of the first one.

Post by: duckman2000 on July 18, 2008, 11:25:51 PM: Maybe they can market a third version for $90, with exclusive content, but missing some of the content that's in the $70 version. That'd be swell.

:piss Game "LE" :piss2

Didn't that happen with Halo 3?

How about a version that includes the extra PC content.

Post by: demi on July 18, 2008, 11:27:05 PM: Yeah, that would totally fuck over the biggest fans, who would in fact not buy that
Title: Re: Gears 2 LE
Post by: cool breeze on July 18, 2008, 11:29:25 PM: $10 extra is nothing, so I might go for it. If they do the whole lame ass cardboard to hold the game thing like with Gears 1, that would suck.
Title: Re: Gears 2 LE
Post by: duckman2000 on July 18, 2008, 11:31:00 PM: Eh, I seem to recall Gears 1 having a nice tin thing going for it.
Title: Re: Gears 2 LE
Post by: Mrbob on July 18, 2008, 11:31:40 PM: This LE is better than what was offered with the first one, which I bought.
Title: Re: Gears 2 LE
Post by: cool breeze on July 18, 2008, 11:32:18 PM: Gears 1 LE had a nice tim, but the two DVDs are stuck on a cardboard flap.
Title: Re: Gears 2 LE
Post by: Draft on July 18, 2008, 11:34:13 PM: I bought the LE for Mass Effect and I think that got it out of my system for the rest of the generation.

:piss paying more for tiny art books :piss2

Blizzard LE's at least come with genuine art books. Like, coffee table sized, hardcover books.

I just remembered, I bought another LE, DMC4. The art book is the size of those crossword pamphlets they sell in grocery store checkout lines.

Post by: MCD on July 18, 2008, 11:50:29 PM: i stopped buying LEs after Lost Planet.

i mean, nice steel cases but the contents are garbage.
Title: Re: Gears 2 LE
Post by: duckman2000 on July 18, 2008, 11:52:53 PM: I bought the Halo 2 LE. Now that was a pathetic LE.
Title: Re: Gears 2 LE
Post by: cool breeze on July 18, 2008, 11:54:55 PM: I have the Halo 3 cat helmet. Woe is me.
Title: Re: Gears 2 LE
Post by: duckman2000 on July 19, 2008, 12:07:01 AM: Does it actually fit on a cat?
Title: Re: Gears 2 LE
Post by: cool breeze on July 19, 2008, 12:15:54 AM: Yes. Unfortunately you need the cat to have a fractured skull to do this, so I never attempted it. Also, I don't have a cat. Filthy animals.
Title: Re: Gears 2 LE
Post by: laesperanzapaz on July 19, 2008, 12:30:50 AM: what an ingenious, disturbing trend

the LE is right up there [kinda] with the Wii as the Great Deception of the Seventh Generation.

corporations fuck their consumers

consumers say 'omg fuck me more, sir'

corporations say 'duuuhhhhh OKAY'

you can actually modify the helmet so you can wear it yourself.

Agreed.. that sealed the deal for me. I'm happy Epic didn't follow the trend of ridiculous $80-90 LEs. The hard cover book and the lancer make this worth 10 bucks for sure.

It is only $10. I'm sure you can reach in your purse and take from your tampon fund to get a fucking Golden Lancer, lady.

:'( I always put $10 extra towards overnight shipping. There's no best buy near me in the city and the gamestop is a SHIT HOLE. like i walked in there once and there was literally shit on the floor. dogs are allowed in stores in the city apparently
Title: Re: Gears 2 LE
Post by: cool breeze on July 19, 2008, 05:21:19 PM: Ace the overnight shipping, get this, and play Gears 1 again until it arrives. It isn't like they are going to play that different.

even after what konami did with mgs4's LE?
Title: Re: Gears 2 LE
Post by: cool breeze on July 20, 2008, 01:31:55 PM: MGS4 LE is great. Awesome new boxart and the DVD with interviews and all that is interesting.
Title: Re: Gears 2 LE
Post by: Jansen on July 20, 2008, 02:46:08 PM: like hell it was. cheap looking packaging and it was WAY overpriced. it's $69.99 (http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?sku=270209) (lol @ the suckers that bought it at $84.99) now which is what it should've been priced at in the first place.

even still shitloads of sad sacks felt it was a great deal.

now a gold lancer is king as far as content within an LE goes.
