I hope you all are getting the collector's edition, but I just wanted to see how many of you arent and wouldn't want to pay the extra 10 bucks...

Yep, Collectors edition it is, not really for the content, (although that septim coin looks rather cool) but for the fact that I'm willing to pay more for Oblivion than for other games. And it will look good on my bookshelf

well, i do love the septim (thats plain old sweeeet!!!

) BUT, like you said, it would look nice to have the COLLECTOR'S EDITION instead of boring ol' regular...plus, would this not show my dedication? (wow, writing that was painful... i jammed my thumb today....)

I am planing on getting collectors... even if that means borrowing some money from my brother (rich bum

) but I want the extra stuff and also will love to walk into my room everyday and see the colloectors edition sitting on my shelf.
I wish I knew of morrowind when it came out so I could do the same but I settled for the GoTY edition. *shrug*

Same here geeze

, wish there was a way to get a regular copy of MW and not a commercialspecked GOTY edition for 15 bucks... I would need to buy like 10 copies of it to show my dedication, but that would be going a bit overboard

I had MW, TB, BM and GOTY. The GOTY being for my xbox because it runs better than my computer, which meant I had 4 different maps! The 3 specific ones to hang in my room and the GOTY one to use as a referance. But I eventually sold GOTY.

Definately a collecters edition for me.

well, I have already placed a pre-ordered the computer's collectors edition from my second favorite shop since my favorite only carries console games, so I voted for that, but the reality is I prefer to play in the long term on a console so I will prolly get the regular version on it just to see any minewt(sp?) variations. I will also prolly get any expansions they bring out, and I will be playing mods as well I am sure

Collectors. 2 reasons.
1: Im a 13 year old with currently 180 dollars (Quite a bit of money for my age

)
2: Its worth it, Id pay 100 dollars if they charged that, I would be ticked, but I would pay that.

See? This is what makes youth ignorant about the real value of life.. Would you really pay 100 dollars if they charged that? Your parents should get punished for letting you have so much money..
Now, don't take it personally, I myself feel I have too much money for my own good, however, my parents were really strict in my early years of school and never game me money in excess. The money I have now it's most from the odd tax-state of Sweden...

They throw money at you and say "There you go, have a happy life" so they don't have to run the country.

Oops, sorry, I'm getting faaar from topic..

I ordered the Regular Edition for 38 Euros (45 US$), 56€ (66US$) for CE are too expensive for me.
Curly_G_
Feb 18 2006, 06:25 PM
Yeah, I'm getting my Regular for 40GBP, 10GBP lower than the RRP, and there is no Collector's edition for Pre-order on the same site, so if I cancelled that order and pre-ordered or bought from a shop, it's 10GBP Extra for the Collectors edition plus the RRP so it's another 20GBP and possibly losing the chance to play it 9am on the day of release when the mail comes. So, not worth it for me. I'd like to see the booklet that comes with collector's editon sold seperately, though, even if it is £10 alone!

Actually most of this money isnt coming from my parents, I babysit for it, I rarely get paid by them, and it takes awhile to save up this much money.

wow, This thread has kinda gotten off topic. anyway I am wondering has anyone heard an estimate of the initial shipping size of the amount of CE that are to be manufactured? I know they said something about trying to meet demand but what is their initial guestimate of that demand?...ne1?
Curly_G_
Feb 20 2006, 11:59 PM
I'm guessing 10% of the amount of standard versions... That's what Halo 2 and Perfect Dark Zero did.
I just want the game so after 3 days of indecision I am sticking to Regular edition and saving myself £20.

well, I am unsure of the exact translation of euros, dollars, yen, shillings, pennies, gold peices, septims and other currency (some of that was a joke of course), but I jumped on the CE the hour I looked at it, nneeeedddd seeepptttiimmmmsssss.... wha? oh yea, neway...if it is guessed to be 10% the reg. ed. how many reg. ed. do you think are coming out? in the first wave, I mean.

I, who work, is not that concerned about the extra money, (naturally!) I´m more afraid I won´t get it because it will be sold out!
But I do have an ace up my sleeve......my daughter in Michigan.......I´ve told her to keep her eyes open...and just BUY it as soon as she sees it in a store!
wish me luck!

I've preordered the CE. The revised edition of the PGE alone is worth the extra $20 AUS. In addition to the PGE, DVD, and coin (which I'll try to use in a store

), I'm getting a free polo shirt when I go to pick it up from EB. I'll need the extra swag, because I'm not going to have a PC capable of running Oblivion until atleast the end of the year.

Everyone who is a fan of elder scrolls should get the collector's edition.

CE. Morrowind was probably the best spent money for a computer game ever (hours of play per dollar spent). I figure that I owe Bethesda for that alone, and if Oblivion turns out to be anywhere near as good (which I really believe it will be), then I want to show my appreciation and make sure that Bethesda has the money to make Elder Scrolls V. That's probably the same reason why I won't have any problem paying for Bethesda mods and expansion packs. It's certainly a lot cheaper (in the long run) than paying subscription fees for an online MMORPG.

Both.
The CE will basically serve as a backup disc while the regular version will be used for playing.

Obviously, I would and will.
A few reasons. One, I like to have a backup of games that I play a lot. Sure, I could make a simple homemade copy of the DVD for private use but it wouldn't be the same.
Two, in my personal opinion the quality of published games has gone down lately. Hence, I have an odd urge to support the companies that I still feel are up to developing and releasing "good" games. What better way is there to support a company than to buy their products?
Three, I want to have the CE standing on a shelf away from the desk. Untouched, unharmed and obviously without a scratch on the disc. Call me a weird collector or whatever you desire. I really couldn't care less.
