    Disappointing Collectors Edition

     Anyone else not really see how this was $80? 
    A small replica plasma cutter that doesn't even rotate to show the plasma cutter can go from horizontal to vertical aiming?
    The only other noteworthy thing is the soundtrack. 
    The lithograph is complete shit, not even nice looking, it's a page ripped from a concept art book -- which would have been a nice addition as well.
     
    $70 would have been easier to swallow, just pissed it's kind of gimped. The last few collectors editions I've been happy with -- Dead Rising 2, Fallout New Vega, and Alan Wake. This kind of turns me off of collector's editions again.
     
    Thoughts?
     
    As a side note, the crysis 2 demo is god awful. Wait I take that back, I can't judge it since I've froze 14 times trying to get into a game, and if I don't the connection is lost immediately.
     This just really is a bad day.

    disappointing or not at least you get dead space extraction made for the move and remastered in hd and dead space 2.... that i guess would be worth the extra 20 rest is just filler...

     Hum. I am really thinking about ordering it. Can you maybe take a picture of the cutter, to give us a sense of scale for the thing? I am not sure if it will run on a european XBOX or PS3 (PS3 games usually did, but I kind of want to get the 360 version). Also it costs about 130$ here (import).

    It's a collector's edition.  You should always hope for the best and expect the worst.

    @caesius6: Blogs that are attached to the forum are typically treated like forum posts.  I was gonna mention that I had already brought this up, but frankly, I think everyone has the right to complain about it.

    ... man, the plasma cutter is a flash light.  The metalic click you hear when you pull the trigger is you closing the circuit.

    Don't forget you also get an in game suit of armor and weapon. Probably not worth the extra money to most people but with my employee discount it comes out to about the price of a regular game. Thus I have many collector's editions I probably wouldn't have purchased otherwise.
