This shit should come with the standard version. Fucking over the biggest fans again, way to go!

demi · « **Reply #2 on:** July 18, 2008, 11:23:50 PM »

You mean the biggest fans who didn't buy the first LE? lol

MCD · « **Reply #3 on:** July 18, 2008, 11:23:56 PM »

i dunno...i didn't like the inside packaging of the first one.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #4 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.

Game "LE"

Didn't that happen with Halo 3?

How about a version that includes the extra PC content.

demi · « **Reply #6 on:** July 18, 2008, 11:27:05 PM »

Yeah, that would totally fuck over the biggest fans, who would in fact not buy that

cool breeze · « **Reply #7 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.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #8 on:** July 18, 2008, 11:31:00 PM »

Eh, I seem to recall Gears 1 having a nice tin thing going for it.

Mrbob · « **Reply #9 on:** July 18, 2008, 11:31:40 PM »

This LE is better than what was offered with the first one, which I bought.

cool breeze · « **Reply #10 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.

Draft · « **Reply #11 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.

paying more for tiny art books

I just want to play Gears 2. I'll buy this fo sho. I've never touched online Gears (1)... I hope people are still playing it.

Mrbob · « **Reply #14 on:** July 18, 2008, 11:36:46 PM »

I need to learn how to use all these other gifs, but yeah I pretty much has said fuck it to all LEs from now on unless its blizzard and Starcraft 2. Then I will whore out for them.

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.

MCD · « **Reply #18 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.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #19 on:** July 18, 2008, 11:52:53 PM »

I bought the Halo 2 LE. Now that was a pathetic LE.

cool breeze · « **Reply #20 on:** July 18, 2008, 11:54:55 PM »

I have the Halo 3 cat helmet. Woe is me.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #21 on:** July 19, 2008, 12:07:01 AM »

Does it actually fit on a cat?

cool breeze · « **Reply #22 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.

laesperanzapaz · « **Reply #23 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.

The sad thing is the gold lancer is the thing that is really enticing me...

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

cool breeze · « **Reply #35 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.

MGS4 LE is great. Awesome new boxart and the DVD with interviews and all that is interesting.

Jansen · « **Reply #38 on:** July 20, 2008, 02:46:08 PM »

like hell it was. cheap looking packaging and it was WAY overpriced. it's $69.99 (lol @ the suckers that bought it at $84.99) now which is what it should've been priced at in the first place.

Actually, DMC4 had a pretty awesome LE with the metal case and first episode of that shitty DMC anime.

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.
