...don't buy it. Got it in the post today and its quantity over quality. The statue is over sized and not detailed enough with max's face looking really weird. A lot of other content is downloadable so you gotta sign up to the site and enter a code...ughhh. would it have killed them to just burn a cd. Anyway as a fan of collectors editions I'm feeling pretty underwhelmed by this one.
So if your thinking about getting it is recommend just picking up the game and possibly eBayin to find the max payne bullet.
Max Payne 3
Game » consists of 12 releases. Released May 15, 2012
The long-awaited third Max Payne game finally arrived in May 2012, courtesy of Rockstar Vancouver. Eight years after the end of Max Payne 2, an aging, burnt-out Max finds one last chance to redeem himself while working as a bodyguard for a rich family in Brazil.
If your on the fence about the collectors edition...

Oh shit. That is kinda bad. I was actually kinda sad I didn't buy the collector's edition. Glad I just got the regular edition.

Good god, how is that even possible? How is it that the original looks great, and the other ones look so cheap? For those who aren't sure what I mean, look at this post. I was originally going to get it, but I canceled my Amazon preorder, because I realized the value proposition wasn't really good, especially when I'm not a big fan of big, clunky, limited editions.

Max Payne 3 is probably the only game that I'm willing to pay more than 50-60$ for. I am gonna buy the biggest fatest most expensive fucking edition. I can't wait <3 That stuff you listed sounds good. Some of them I don't care for, but hey.
Liar
Hahaha, first of all I applaud for for finding that rather old post, and secondly, I had the best intentions to buy it but then I was disappointed by its content afterwards and passed on it@AhmadMetallic said:

Yeah me too, that abhorration ain't worth shit.
The only collectors I ever got was Stalker, call of Pripyat (not too much to it and only 40.00 if I remembers right on sale at Amazon) and surprisingly, Halo Reach..not a historic Halo fan. Max Payne changes a bit too much in appearance for me to be comfortable with, though it could conceivably be the same guy over the decades.

yeah it's pretty shitty but i'm not really surprised. Those statuettes are usually garbage
The Assassin's Creed and Batman ones were top notch, though they were done by very well known sculpting studios.
The only content you have to download is the soundtrack, which most people buy digitally now anyway, so it's not a big deal, it just takes a couple of minutes to download. The bullet keychain actually looks pretty sweet. And yes, while the statue's face might not look fantastic, the rest is actually pretty good for the price you pay. High quality statues can easily go upwards of a 100$ by themselves. So overall, I think it's pretty good. You also get some pretty nice looking art prints.
But hey, to each his own I guess. I'm the idiot who buys every collector's edtions.
Edit: Oh and also, you can unscrew the bullet and it's hollow, so you can put like........cocaine in it, or somethin'.
