Cool. If the 'top artists' are commercial artists that are well known, then its a good offer.

duffel bag? why?

[Rockman_Joey]

I think I'll just stick with the game thanks rather than the LE GTA4

[indierocker]

your source is a forum post :confused:

I'm not questioning whether it's true or not...but if you're going to post something as news, you could at least stop being lazy and trace it back to the actual source and not just what someone posted on another forum...especially the vgchartz forum.

[Timboo]

There wasn't one on the forum, if you'd stop being lazy you would have seen that :D If it turns out to be a fancy fake then my bad.

After wasting money on that Spiderman Collector's addition for actual in game content I highly doubt I ever buy a special edition ever again. Especially one that comes with a duffle bag.

I did see that there wasn't one, thats when you start doing your job and googling your ass off til you find one.

gee...that was real hard. To think...you didn't even have to google, all you had to do was go to the publishers website.

Nothing pisses me off more than having to trace maxconsoles news stories back to their source, hate reading something thats 2nd, 3rd or in some cases 4th hand. So well done this man, maxconsole take note.

Well, finally a Special Edition game that makes you happy you only payed 10 bucks more, assuming it will only be 90 bucks.

[bonsc]

Great not:eek:

It's only a rip off if both of the following are true

A) You personally feel that it is a rip off

AND

B) YOU STILL BUY IT

89.99$:eek: :confused:. These initiative, really I don't understand, is true, the impassioned doesn't mind expenses, but with the piracy that is becoming an evil, these rather than to lower the near they propose the special edition.:confused:

[wkndplaya]

I never buy the special/collectors edition of anything to me they're usually a waste of money I just want the game.

[lee6370]

I personally wouldn't waste my money on it, the bloody games cost enough already, but there must be some people who have more money than sense, otherwise they wouldn't sell them.
