    Finally going to take the plunge and play Alan Wake. As a gigantic Stephen King fan I have a feeling I'm really going to love it. So should I go with the CE which is $55 or pay $29 for the PC version? The CE looks really nice and comes with some nifty exclusives. Any opinions?

    Look at the steam site, you get the collecters edition dlc..whatever that means. all for 30.00 and what is reputed to be a good port. I haven't bought the PC version...yet. Gawd I want to.

    The PC version comes with both the dlc addons, I'd go with that.

    It is Like New/Mint, not new. I also found a new CE guide for $12, which I picked up. I haven't read the book yet. I'm going to after I play it, which I was going to soon, but just bought Syndicate. But if you really want the CE and want to save some bucks shop around. There are a few I see right now on eBay, one says opened, but never played, here's a new one.

    Get the PC version. Steam is currently selling the CE edition for $30 (which include the "The Alan Wake Files" bonus, it's just a digital copy, not a physical book.) Also the PC version contains both DLC (which actually continue the story) and looks much better as well.

    Just get the PC version. It comes with all the DLC (except American Nightmare) and it looks great.
