I still don't understand collector's editions of anything. Just a bunch of useless junk for people with a "cool stuff" hoarding disorder if you ask me lol.

weird this looks like something fallout new vegas would come with.

$89 on the PC

Got mine pre-ordered already.

So awesome. Here's hoping I have the money to pre-order it.

If that book has any sort of history on the game's development, I am pre-ordering that shit and standing at the doors on opening day to get it. Like... god damn.

" @OllyOxenFree:   I anticipate this game as much as anyone else, but I still don't personally understand the collector's editions extra items craze. If someone gave me a collector's edition of any game, I would immediately sell everything but the game on eBay. "

Definite pass. A bunch of useless trinkets for a game that will very likely suck.

I would get this if it came to Europe. 
 
Unless I was out of bubblegum at that point.

Done and done. 
I grew up watching my uncle play Duke Nukem, that shit was awesome. 
100 bucks is really not that much money.

Now this is what I call a collector's edition!

I really think this missed out on the obvious add in:

No empty bubble gum box and no actual balls of steel? Major let down!

this sounds stupid

I'm a bit disappointed in this tbh.

Fuck, not sure if this is going to be the best or worst purchase ever.

I really wanted a snapshot build from each year of development.

" What a shitty collectors edition.. No bubblegum or steel balls :( "

Well you're suppose to be out of gum... "

I got my copy, Lets Rock!

that looks .. awesome!!

Is it wrong that I want the book and nothing else, including the game?

$100 says the book is scanned and on the internet day 1.

" I'd love to see what's in that book on the game's history.  Holy hell, there's a lot of weirdness they could pack in that. "

I'm on the fence about buying this one, but it's awesome.

Brad II be droppin' the ball, this whole set is confirmed at $99.

looks cool but $100 is way to much

the book is the coolest thing about that...

UK? UK? UK?!!!
This will cost a fortune to import...

Can't fucking wait to get this. That bust is so over-the-top that it's a whole new level of awesome.

If I had the money, I would definitely get this.

It's only 100 dollars on Amazon... wow. Gonna pre-order this. That bust is worth at least 30 itself, and the game is 60. This is a very well priced edition.

I wish they were making more. I would buy one but I doubt this will take long to sell out.

Would cost me around 120 pounds worth to import...that's not including the inevitable customs costs :( 
 
Will spend all night looking at UK retailer websites...I won't give up hope yet. 
  
EDIT: Checked Amazon UK, nothing. Then checked Shopto.net (my usual retailer) and it's there for£89...BUY IT NOW!!!

That's crazy... But I love it.

This collectors edition sure has got a lot of paper in it.

I am definitely gonig to preorder this, its not a bad deal for the extra $40.

I have this weird issue now where I keep thinking Duke looks like Max Headroom.

I would have liked to see the Balls of Steel pinball game in there too, maybe DN3D on the disc, but this works too.

Fucking purchased.

so, why aren't there steel balls?

Kinda weird that it doesn't come with:
 
1. A pack of gum.
2. Balls of steel.
3. Sunglasses - just like Duke's.
4. One of those big buttons, with a nuke design on it, that spouts one liners. "Hail to the king, baby!" 
 
Come on.

" Depending on the price point (I'm going to go out on a limb and say $150-200), this might TOTALLY be worth it. "

This edition doesn't need Balls of Steel. It already has the Duke. :3
Not too fussed about the generic playing cards, poker chips and even the bust. It's the books I'd love to read. I'm surprised it's not an entire novel!
