Dead Space 2 is the sequel to the 2008 surprise hit Dead Space. The no-longer-silent Isaac Clarke finds himself trapped on a city-sized space station called the Sprawl, which has been overtaken by another Necromorph infestation.
Man I am kinda even more bummed that is looks so crappy. I would not have minded if it was just small and looked awesome. I am not going to display it, oh well in a few days I will have my game and be happy.
Dude, that really does suck! It's sad that you had to spend your money on this, but at least you were kind enough to let us know... I sure won't be buying the Collector's Edition now!
Yeah man, I straight up laughed my ass off when I saw the guys at gamestop bust those CE outs. And as soon as my buddy opened it to check out the cutter I laughed even harder. The postcard lithograph is also classic.
Balls. I pre-ordered the collectors edition for PS3 for $120 a few months back, shame it turned out the extras were turd. It's not released until Thursday in Australia so I just have tomorrow and waiting to get out of work Thursday before I can start playing it. No matter because if it is half as awesome as 1 I'll get all my moneys worth out of the campaign alone. And tomorrow being Australia Day there is going to be plenty on to do without worrying about playing video games.
" Awww. So disappointing! Man, it looked like a good bundle too... "
Voted for understatement of the year. That's just really disappointing.
@jakob187: I truly empathize with you on the bum deal and plasma pecker. Just seeing you hold that thing makes me get a little mad and a lot sad.
Oh, and as an aside, I am pretty sure Necromorphs make liberal use of all the flesh they can get their claws on, so it might not be where it's supposed to be, but I am sure it's in there...somewhere. Even so, I doubt it could be shot off with that.
Did I think about that too much? I am pretty sure I did. *shudder*

Stop shouting. I like games too. That doesn't mean that I hang tacky posters and plastic figurines of them in my home.

We'll all be sure not to like games any more than you.
@Abyssfull: The Halo: Reach Limited Edition was goddamn great. Everything included in it was something to do with the history of Reach, and the diary was a great read. New Vegas had a great graphic novel with it. Hell, Fallout 3 had a fucking lunchbox! Hell, even the Dante's Inferno promo action figure for pre-orders was better...AND THAT'S A GAME MADE BY THE SAME COMPANY!
Here. Hopefully, the lulz you can provide will be a redeeming factor.
ALSO...NO CODE FOR DEAD SPACE IGNITION THAT I'VE FOUND YET!!!
Sorry for those following my blog. = / "
The Ignition code should have been on your receipt when you pre-ordered. If you're talking about Extraction, it was a PS3 exclusive.

Is that what it is? So you like games more than me because you have more plastic figurines than I do?
At least the soundtrack is on a CD, my AC: Brotherhood soundtrack is on some bullshit Bluray bonus disc that is only playable on the PS3, making the idea of listening to it elsewhere impossible without serious hacking or ghetto recording.
I got he CE and was disappointed that the cutter wasn't 1:1. They should have stated that it was 1:2 scale or just made a deal with Nerf to make it (they have a deal with Nerf too btw). It's not a deal breaker since the CD and all the crap the PS3 version gets (along with my retailer exclusive) makes the extra $20 worth it.
There have been many, many worse collector's editions that cost much, much more than Dead Space 2. For fans of the series and collectors this isn't a bad deal. If you were actually expecting a full-size replica then you should probably reevaluate your grip on reality.
Slightly disappointed, but my little brother will think I'm the bomb when I let him play with it.
I guess that Vesceral games changed their mind before shipping. it was originally 1:1 size as far as I know. well, what can we do? nothing. just get over it. I don't mind because it is not like you bring the gun, playing around just like teenagers?
Hell no. I work at a LAN center. I called Gamestop today, and they said that there was nothing they could do about it. Of course. It's Gamestop. Why would I have expected anything less from them? I mean, I already own the game anyways, but still...
Also, to everybody: I realize that it wasn't going to be a 1:1 scale model or anything. At the same time, I would've easily paid another $20 or so if they DID make a 1:1 scale version that was detailed. Hell, if they had at least made the alt-fire portion TURN SIDEWAYS LIKE THE PLASMA CUTTER DOES, I'd be satisfied even more.
Thx for putting this up, think that instead I'll just get the regular game & hunt down the soundtrack (if I recall I got the soundtrack for the first one through amazon so will check there for #2).

Why did I laugh so damn hard.

It actually is 1:1 scale. It just so happens that every character in the Dead Space series are little people. For real.
Let's face it: those who bought the collector's edition should have seen this coming, myself included. I swore off collector's editions a while ago, and being fooled into thinking that this one could actually be cool reminds me why I did. All of the crap bundled into these collector's editions always seems cool but never is.
I cannot even begin to explain my disappointment in this collector's edition. EA and Visceral really dropped the ball on this one. I was so excited about the plasma cutter replica that I went out and pre-ordered the collector's edition the day it was announced and now I am seriously regretting that extra $20. They couldn't even bother to give you two AAA for the damn gun! edit: I am surprised at the lack of Plasma CUTEr comments. Please don't hit me.

Weird thought you did.
The part in bold would happen with ANY retailer who did not give you the code, stop bitching about Gamestop.
To think at one point I really wanted this collector's edition and was willing to pay $80. So glad that I am a cheap bastard to convince myself not to buy this. Very disappointed that that is all the collector's edition had to offer.
