i don't really care for them, seeing that most of them come with an art book, a disk that plays all the music in the game, and an action figure or something else

australia one of the few countries not in reccesion
http://www.australia.to/index……Itemid=198
a few quotes from the article
As you may also know Australia is the only major advanced economy not to have gone into recession.
Australia now has the strongest economic growth of the world's 33 advanced economies and is the only one to have recorded positive growth through the year to June.
Australia's economy grew by 0.6 per cent in the June quarter and we can certainly say that as a national economy, Australia is better placed than most other nations.

Back on the topic – No. I do not see any point in special editions. 99% of the time I get a new game, the case goes in a box in a my closet, and the disc goes in a cd holder with the rest of my games, and I never look at the case or manual again. Why pay more to get a shinier one? Also, the few times I have gotten special stuff with my game (most recently was PoP with a “behind the scenes” disc), I never even look at it. All I want is to play the game. Thats why I buy the game. If I wanted NVG's, I'd go out and get a good set thats actually designed to be used by hunters or military personnel. If I wanted a batarang, I'd go get a good one that is made of solid metal, and actually works, so I could hurt people with it from down the street when they piss me off.

the only special editions i really ever bought were fallout 3, because i wanted the bobblehead to put on my dashboard, and i also bought GTA IV, but that one was purchased based on totally false information from the guy at the walmart electronics dept.. bastard told me it had a bonus disc of the previous GTA games included, and at the time i had no way to check these statements.. oh well.. live and learn..
most games are really not worth getting special collector's editions, i mean, what are you REALLY going to do with a master cheif head or tiny 4″ redfeild figurine? at least i can carry my lunch in the fallout lunchbox, enjoy the bobbling fallout boy on my dash, use the GTA lock box for my things that need locking up, and use the rockstar bag to carry my crappy games back to EB to trade in..

i buy special editions where i can.
i absolutely love them!
I've pre-ordered the uncharted 2 special edition.
i got the prince of persia special edition.
I still want the fallout one for the bobblehead!
some of them are simply too expensive though.
If i had the money, i would buy them.

I do love the special editions. The Fallout one was good (I got the one with the brotherhood of steel figurine).
The GOW3 special edition should be good and I'd love to get the Uncharted 2 special edition. Sometimes special editions get a little out of hand though. Whilst having night vision goggles would be fantastically brilliant the price tag sure isn't.

well you can get a used one if you still wanna pay nearly full price for it.. for some reason only the regular BF: BC has dropped in price here.. regular version is $14.99 used and the gold is still $50 used i think
