Collectors Edition...bah

[VirdeuS]

So is anyone actually going to buy all the different boxes that HL2 is suppose to come in, because you know its just a marketing ploy...

 

[Axyon]

This didn't really need a new topic.

 

[Hudson]

could of just stuck this in some other thread

 

[Guest]

Yeah this was pretty much pointless

 

[wako]

whats so good about the collectors edition of it anyways?


If I didnt open the box and saved it over time and it actually grew in value then I would consider about it but it doesnt. So there isnt really a point in doing it. Unless I get some spiffy stuff in it, and it has to be REALLY cool too....


So nope for me

I just want the game dammit...

LMAO, you only get a Metal box and a DVD? Big whoopty doo! hell now will I be getting special edition or whatever. Its not that worth it. Besides, I think the regular box looks just as cool

Think of it this way:

The collector's edition is like a sexy woman. Sure, you could bang a pig, but who would argue the sexy woman isn't better? If it's all just vagina, then why do I get a boner when Tara Reid is on the screen and not Oprah?

Thank you.

Thank you Mr. Bildo for that sumptuous analogy...

Anywayz, I probably WON'T BUY EITHER!

You know why? Cause we all know they're gonna release Half-Life 2: Game of the Year Edition, complete with updates, patches, mods, more dev tools, an even cooler box, not to mention a healthy price drop.

The waiting's the hard part. I say the game industry do the awarding Oct. 1 and just get it over with. :cheese:

If you'e not buying HL2 on the first day you're not welcome on this forum. Sorry.

 

[A2597]

after Bildos reply...I don't know if I want to be associated with wanting the colectors edition...

or the reguler edition...

umm....I'm leaving now....

 

[Logic]

lol... I wouldn't have put it that way myself, but the analogy does make sense

 

[Spyre]

Mr. Bildo made me laugh and give serious thought to the sexual organs of both animals and super-models.

I'd buy the collectors edition on condition that:

1. It is released at the same time as the standard edition.
2. It comes with something physically entertaining or useful, like a crowbar keychain or a metal tin to hold my paraphernalia

#1 is most important... there's NO WAY IN HELL I could wait any longer to play this game than necessary. Even if there was a special edition coming out a week later!

The major reason I'm interested in the SE is that the standard 'mugshot' boxes are so damn ugly.

As for the possible content, I don't give a damn about HL2 keychains or mousepads but "behind the scene" footage would be nice.
The thing is though, seeing that Valve are on a tight schedule as it is I don't think there is time to include it if they're shooting for a simultaneous 30/9 release of all versions and I'd choose an ugly box over a month without HL2 in a heartbeat.

 

[DOOManiac]

Who the hell would buy 3 copies just to have 3 boxes?

 

[Gunner]

^^ Uh oh Doom3>HL2 is back!

I totally agree with you on this one, who's actually going to walk around with a HL2 keychain or T-Shirt or whatever. I'd rather have a lengthy 'Making Of HL2' or something like that.

If they were to include a real, autographed crowbar, that would be pretty cool tho.
