I pre-ordered it, yah ! this is going to be awesome. I usually don't pay the extra for the LE but with the Big Daddy figurine, I couldn't help myself.

 

 

EDIT: Insomniac! There was going to be a poster! When and are they available anywhere, like on ebay. I got to have me one of them!

 

There still might be one but it is not mentioned. I remember when I voted I voted for the cloth poster and it looked nice , if you google Bioshock Limited Edition they might have an old blog post featuring the items you could vote for I don't have the link on-hand.

 

And as far as I know they are not selling them.

 

BUT it still might come with the game but I am not promising anything. I guess we will see next Tuesday.

The manager at my local gamestop showed me the packaging for the collectors edition. It is pretty awesome, it comes in a huge box with a window to view the figure (looks like its made of ceramic), which is a whole lot better then that cheap crappy lost planet figure that fell apart with the slightest touch. For only $10 more, you will be getting more then what you paid for.

 

The regular edition packaging even looked awesome (came with a case sleeve with big daddy popped up).

At other forums, I saw these promo pics of the Collector's Edition, as it is called in Europe. Mentions a steelbook DVD case. I've also heard the discussions/complaining about the US's Limited Edition, which may have just a plastic DVD case. That's what's shown in the EBGames promo picture. Looks like it could be a double wide DVD case, which would be nice to hold the extra discs. I'd hate it to be a regular size DVD case, with extra discs inside the case with paper sleeves.

I know, after all the other games releasing a LE with just a metal box and bonus behind the scenes dvd, Bioshock is stepping up the game. The CD looks amazing, after playing the demo, I cant wait for the music. Plus it looks like an old record. A Big Daddy figurine...... If I dare say cooler than Master Chief........ Is awesome. A standard making of( behind the scene) dvd that is expected, plus a different box containing the best game of the summer. Wow, all for 10 bucks, that is why I pre-ordered the LE version!

This is an old picture but is a picture again of what is suppose to be in the Collector's Edition. I don't know if they are going to still do it but one of the things that we were going to get was going to be a Poster of some kind. In this picture it's (as you can see) a cloth poster. I just wanted to state that we shouldn't forget that we're also going to get a sweet cloth poster... unless if they change their mind lol.

Also, this is apparently the Cover Art of the Limited/Collector's Edition version of the game.

Sadly that is a very old picture they used to see what people wanted in it , people voted on what they wanted so the cloth poster is no longer in the package as far as I know and the figure is way different and looks way better than that.

 

They have a picture of the full final big daddy figure.

 

 

And the figure is not too heavy to ship maybe that person is lazy lol , I got it on Gamestop.com and it said nothing about extra money for weight like it would with Guitar Hero or something.

 

I heard the figure is kind of heavy though from Ken Levin from the Bioshock team but I don't see how that person would say it is too heavy to ship over eBay.

 

I so hope we get that cloth poster though I looove stuff like that.

The picture I posted with the reported contents of the Limited Edition was the picture for what was actually said to be IN the Limited Edition. Also, I prefaced what I said with "This is an old picture..." ;) Another thing, I posted earlier the picture of the Big Daddy Figurine for the LE. Anyways though, like you, I heard as well that the cloth poster was taken out of the LE. I did sign the petition to make the LE and voted for the contents of it. I will find out in 4 more hours if thats the case or not so I'll definitely come back and let everyone know if it's included or not if someone doesn't beat me to it from the East Coast. Lets hope that we can get everything that they said we would and didn't change their minds! :)
