SH4 Collectors Edition

Sonarman · 01-25-07, 05:42 PM

Our friends over at the great German site Marinesims.de have uncovered news of a collectors edition of SHIV priced at 54 euros the contents of the pack are not yet known.

Here's a story from down under that confirms a Collectors edition is on the cards (before you have a coronary please note that prices are New Zealand Dollars!)

Nice! I think I am going to have to go for the collector's edition.

Can't really get excited until I know what is included..

Bought to many "Collectors Edition" games and have yet to see any of them really be worth the extra money paid for it considering the included "extra" content.

Rumor has it that the package will include an actual MK XIV Contact Exploder - with the firing pins all bent to $h!t.

Barkhorn.

The Collector's Addition comes with the two extra modules of RAM necessary to run the game!

Let's hope it a large juicy AOD style spiral bound manual of "Microprosian" proportions! Packed with actual useful stuff like tactics, convoy routes, port depth charts etc.

There was a long debate about this over at the Ubi forums. The devs wanted to know what people wanted, and spiral manuals was one of the things that got narrowed down. (Along with map(s), artwork, etc) Who knows what gonna be in it, though ...

well i dont now about the rest of you lot, but a AoB pin wheel would realy come in handy.

Konovalov · 01-26-07, 04:45 AM

I can only hope for a spiral bound detailed manual. I don't want any cheap gimmicks. :hmm:

AJ! · 01-26-07, 04:57 AM

If it is, I'd almost certainly get it, but if it's the usual collector's edition rubbish you see - forget it.

Amen. Collector's editions are money drains for people with easily excitable people with poor economic sense. Collector's edition in the age of mass duplication is in it self an oxymoron. Having bought several myself, Im like you now. Ive yet come across a Collector's edition that was actually enhancing the game. The joy of owning an extra expensive box with china manufactured junk or ridiculous "making of" or "artwork coffee table books" is even more funny. No person so cool they have an actual coffee table would humiliate themselves by having game advertisements lying on it ^_^

Thick, spiral bound manual perhaps. With printed identification manual. Fully fledged SH3 campaign integrated into SH4 engine. Otherwise, forget it.

I still have my fngers crosed for that baking soda-powered toy sub.

Maybe it will come with a container of that anti-crabs powder from das boot!
