He has to buy it if he signed a contract, or Snuff will have to sue him.

Hopefully I'll have a job before this comes out, so I can get this.

I'd rather pay around £60, maybe as far as £70 and have everything but the Dragon. I like statues/figures/random collectors crap that come with collector editions but £130 is too steep for me at this moment. I think i've only got around £80 that's in my "spend on games" pile.

We always get the fucking shit end of the stick. I can't believe some people from the US are actually fucking complaining, despite paying about half of what we'll be forced to pay.

No game collector's edition is EVER worth more than £100, unless I get a life-sized statue of a dragon.

$149.99 (US), EU149.99 (Europe), £129.99 (UK), and A$199.99 (Australia)

People in NA pay EU45 less than people in Europe and £40 less than people in the UK.

lol. Oh well, it's expensive either way.

In order of who gets fucked over the most by the extortionate prices.

Europe: $214.23(US) /£130.68(UK) /EU149.99(Europe) /$204.94(AUS)
UK: $213.99(US) /£129.99(UK) /EU149.19(Europe) /$203.86(AUS)
Australia $209.05(US) /£127.52(UK) /EU146.36(Europe) /$199.99(AUS)

USA: $149.99(US) /£91.49(UK) /EU105(Europe) /$143.48(AUS)

We all get pretty much shafted, except America, who pays less than 2/3rd what we do.
How do you justify that, Bethesda? Shipping costs? You need to add another £60 for shipping?

Hnng so much fucking rage.

I just got Oblivion a few days ago, and I'm loving it. I hope Skyrim ends up really good.

Hahahahahahaha. Who wants a cloth map, a statue, an art book, and whatever the fuck else anyway?

I do :c

I still can't afford it and I'm getting it for the lowest price. I could get a 3DS with a bit more cash.

Well, that's disappointing.

If they had a limited edition (just the artbook and the map), I would've been fine with that. Unfortunately, this is all we get. Now if we got a book of tamrielic lore, a mudcrab hat, a usb drive with a dragon on top of it, horse armor (that's actually useful), an 8 inch figure of the dragon born, a skyrim t-shirt, the art book, the cloth map, AND the dragon, I would've pre-ordered this bitch.

Doesn't matter, I'm still buying the game. Not like I'm being forced to buy it anyway.

It would of been better if you got a full sized sword. And the helmet, oh god imagine how awesome that would be? The Dovahkiin helm, that would be so amazing.

On the bright side, at least I can now go ahead and pre-order the normal version of the game knowing I won't be missing out on a collectors edition that's worth buying.

Oh well, my plans of getting the collectors edition just went out the window. What you're getting does not justify spending £130. I wouldn't be surprised of there is some kind of other, less expensive edition also released. A figurine/statue isn't exactly something that I'd have wanted anyway.

That little disappointment aside, I'm still really hyped for Skyrim.

No, I am ultra-butthurt and I've been drinking.

I'll stop now, though. It's not for me to tell people how to spend their money.

That's a very disappointing CE, especially at that price point. While the statue looks good, it's being marketed as "high-quality PVC", which made me chuckle.

What do you all live in the same room or something?

PROTIP: go to the bathroom and if anyone asks why you took so song tell them you took a really bad shit, you know, like diarrhea. And if they ask why there is no smell, tell them you spray perfume on your butt.

Anyway, yeah, I kind of have to get the Collector's Edition, you know, contracts and all.

It doesn't seem that bad, I was expecting more, like most people, especially for the price. But hey, it's got a foot high dragon statue and that book looks really interesting. Plus I love the Making of features with games.

For anyone who hasn't seen it, this is a good idea, I advise everyone to do it.

What a shitty collector's edition. Even if it wasn't a retarded price I wouldn't buy that. When it's so limited and expensive you'd think the dragon wouldn't be made out of plastic.
Ah well, I guess I'll just have to spend the extra money on other games.

The ironic part is that his Father's Day, birthday and Christmas presents combined probably wouldn't be half the price of this.

Response to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 2011-08-06 08:29:14


What the fuck. For that price you could get the Mass Effect 3 collector's edition and a standard copy of Skyrim, and still have $10 left over. All for a fucking plastic dragon.

First they try to sue Mojang and now this... I don't like where you're going with this, Bethesda.
