COD 4 Collectors Edition Craptastic
Firstly let me say how utterly disappointed I was with this.
piddly little book that shows some piss poor pictures.
bradyguide which is in PDF format and passworded so you can't burn it to CD etc to save it.
if you lose it or have a harddrive failure its gone. you can't download it again.
the entire package is utterly rubbish. And to add insult to injury the xbox version apparently got a DVD.
and the one thing i wanted to do(print it) i can't.

Re: COD 4 Collectors Edition Craptastic
I already knew what was in the collectors edition before I even went to buy COD4, thats why I bought the regular version. Did you not do any research?

Re: COD 4 Collectors Edition Craptastic
When I went to Best Buy to pick it up they first tried to sell the Collectors Edition, I asked around and they had 41 copies of the regular in the back. I got one of those and saved 10 bucks. Sneaky Best Buy.

Re: COD 4 Collectors Edition Craptastic
Most games today, their collectors, or limited editions really are not special anymore. Nothing that great. Only thing I've gotten that was really neat, but also very expensive was Halo3. Everything else "limited" has not been very limited or special.

Re: COD 4 Collectors Edition Craptastic
I have collector's editons for two games (Need for Speed MW and Carbon), both have very meager extras I shouldn't have paid for. Literally minutes of extra content that I can probably find out from playing the game itself or youtube....There's no more "special" in getting those special/collector's/limited editions anymore...
And now I know not to get the collector's edition for CoD4 now...The reason I call myself "the village idiot"? Name a teamate I haven't accidently shot yet.

Apparently the Xbox360 CE included a DVD about SAS operations since WWII and how they've changed and all stuff like that.

Re: COD 4 Collectors Edition Craptastic
nope cause if i did i'd have given this collectors editon a wide berth. Originally Posted by RGM-79N_GM_CUstom

yep only collectors editions i've got worth their salt have been the ones from Anet for Guild wars. bought a vanilla version and the collectors. was my plan the entire time and i'm glad i did just that.
i've emailed a complaint indicating my disdaint regarding their shoddy collectors edition content and can't help but feel i've been physically abused in the process.. i don't expect a reply.

Re: COD 4 Collectors Edition Craptastic
Blizzard CEs are nice. The CEs of Crysis, STALKER, HellGate London, and The Witcher are also excellent.
Unfortunately for us STALKER and The Witcher only had a CE version available in Europe.RX-78-2 Gundam EFSF Protoype Close Combat Mobile Suit Armor: Luna Titanium Armament: 2x Beam Sabers, 2x 60mm Head vulcan guns 380mm Hyper bazooka, Beam Rifle, Beam Javelin, Hyper Hammer, Gundam Hammer, shield
