I dont play the tabletop but and I have asked our local tcg/comic/minature store why they dont carry Warhammer and his response had to do with the cost of it. So if this is true (and someone that plays the tabletop could confirm) look at this CE. Your getting a mini which if there are only 60k made could be concidered a rare or uncommon mini? How much would one of thoes cost to buy as a single? Now add an artbook and a graphic novel. I bet thoes 3 alone make up the assumed 30$ extra the CE will be.

Everyone complaining about the IG items stop, please just stop. In no game have thoes ever been a large advantage. If you really think items, cosmetic or otherwise that will only effect you for the first few levels really gives me an advantage over you in a game..............you really REALLY need to question yourself as a gamer. I'm sorry but feeling someone else has "paid" there way to an advantage for the first couple levels is ludacris.

Its a great CE and it is the first I will have ever ordered.

Something about this really confuses me.  They say there will be 12 heads with the collector's edition, and they say  you will not look like anyone else.  Mmmmm......won't the other people with collector's editions have the same heads?

 

This kind of marketing sets a dangerous precedent.  I can imagine some developer coming along and saying, hey....lets release crappy looking armor with the game, but with the collector's edition we could release a few complete sets that totally look awesome.  This is a marketing concept that I am not a big fan of.

 

Sorry for my skepticism.  I'm a jaded gamer these days.  A really great game could turn it all around though and restore my optimism.

 I think they are saying that 60K will stand out above the potential Million(s) of players versus each of the 60K will be a truly unique 'head'.

To your later post: A lot of females play but they tend to be younger folk. I do know a fair number of ladies in the 35-40 bracket (my own) who play but the numbers are a heck of a lot smaller than the teen and early 20s crowd of femme MMO players.

holy crap, guarenteed beta access and early access to the game is worth it right there imho.

But when will the OB actually occur. If it happens a week before RTM happens..what's the difference? (Other than to the fanatics)

To all the people QQ ing about the xp bonus saying it's going to "buy people's way to a high level" you are wrong. If you read the actual description of the tome of insight it clearly states that you get 3 uses out of it and each is 60 minutes of 10% xp gain. So basically you get 3 hours of extra xp which is nothing...maybe ONE level higher than anyone if you play it right.

I personally am VERY impressed with the CE. It's got things I actually WANT to have, so I preordered it. I had the WoW CE and it was a worthless waste of money. I got a dvd of cinemas I already had, a game dvd, an art book, and a stupid in game pet that did nothing. At least in WAR I will be able to choose a badass looking face, and do some extra quests plus have 10% xp for 3 hours.

For UK people, I've found the CE online for pre-order today at Game, and placed a preorder of course!

Why couldn't they have it pre-assembled and painted for people like me?

Just pre-ordered the CE. Looks alright, looking forward to open beta.

Europeans got hit again, because it is €79.99 for us which equals about $120 . No CE is worth $120 with preorder still another $15 to add. Wake up dudes! The day the dollar equaled the euro is long gone

If you don't think it's worth 80 Euros, don't buy it.  If no one buys it, the price will drop.  When people do buy it, the price will be justified,

If you're European, you're probably already paying $11 for a Big Mac meal, that an American can get for $4.50.

Don't be silly... A Big Mac meal is only £10.50 here
