Rockstar Games Join The Special Edition Encampment (GTA IV:SE)

[Joe]

Grand Theft Auto IV, scheduled for an October 16 release, will be offered as a regular video game as well as, for some extra cash, as a "Special Edition" in a "customized metal safety box."

For those gamers who expect more than just a game in a standard box, Rockstar Games will be offering the Special Edition GTA IV in a nice box and a few extra goodies. The custom metal custom will be available for games for the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 and contain an Art Book with "never-before-seen production artwork," the GTA IV soundtrack CD, a Rockstar keychain for the safety deposit box keys and a "limited edition Rockstar duffel bag." The company promises that "all of the items have been created with the utmost attention to detail."

It will sell as Bragging rights seems to be a force of motivation for gamers and geeks but will it be worth the $90 asking price?

yeh, or that ...if that would work for consoles

then they could charge like 25 quid or somthing for it, and loads of people would buy it

I Rele cannot see why they shdn have it .... or a direct dl via XBL etc -- but its not as cost effective (on consoles sneak a torrent disto system .. take 80% of the up bandwidth)
