Bad News For Bioshock Le Collectors
« Reply #15 on: August 24, 2007, 06:11:00 AM »

As someone who owns most of the LE releases for the Xbox 1 I can say that the 360's LEs on a whole are total crap by comparison... Halo 2, SCDA, Doom 3, Getting up ... all came in metal cases... These days it seems an extra booklet and a slip cover constitutes "LE"

I will say that there have been a few nice ones though, Prey, GoW Oblivion and Bioshock were all well worth the LE price tag... PDZ was a decent LE though it's wide spread production, much like Halo 2 caused it to lose it's appeal.

Europe has had fewer LE releases but I think they've been much better games and much better quality... LE releases like Dead Rising in a nice metal case and Forza in tin similar to GoW would have been f-ing awesome.

... I was just looking up release dates on EBGames.com and noticed that next week stranglehold comes out and they're releasing an LE version... yet another slip cover with a DVD for an extra $10  grr.gif and of course I'll buy it because I'm addicted. though I suppose it wont be too bad because I've already got H3 paid for and after that the only 2 LE games this year are Jericho and Assassin's Creed  biggrin.gif

I may just play the gamble on Stranglehold and see if the LEs stick around for a while and drop in price over time.

After seeing how large the Big Daddy figure was I kind of wish I had gotten the LE. If Gamestop had one I would have gotten it on release day, but supposedly I got the last copy (which I've heard many times) of either.

I've also been disappointed with previous LEs. One that I'm looking forward to is GTA IV with the safe deposit box and duffel bag, I think it will be worth it.

Well i find that all the LE's ive owned so far for the 360 have been worth it. They all had some pretty good extras and nice packaging.

Namely:

Oblivion (making off dvd + the coin dealie + map + the guide to  oblivion book)
Forza LE (fat packaging + "artbook" + exclusive cars)
Bioshock (obvious reasons)

Im gona up my pic soon, dont have my camera here  atm.

All in all i got:

Bioshock C.E. (European with Tin Case and a non-amputee Big Daddy)
NBA Live 07
Dead Rising Platinum Hits
Oblivion C.E.
Call of Duty 3
Forza 2 C.E.
Gears of War

Also i have  a Bioshock Tin Case im trying to sell (had  bought it when the CE arrived so i got 2 of em now smile.gif ).
