Pre-Ordered from Gamestop no bonuses except the stuff that comes with the SE. The manager said I could have all the posters in the stores windows after May 1st though |

yeah, all of the special editions come with the duffel bag and such. I think circuit city is doing a $10 gift card with preorder or something like that. Just was mainly wondering if anybody was giving away anything cooler than the gta iv license plate.

Amazon has frees hipping though, and Gmestop charges to ship, I guess you guys are in-store shopping? |

I know people who got the game already (legally) and they said the driving was like the anti gravity cheats on the old game, almost like the roads were slick |

i think 90 is worth for the SE |

Meh. Would you ever really buy that crap separately? |

I wasn't asking them. I was asking you. |

No, most people probably wouldn't buy most of the stuff that comes in the special editions of games seperately. I was just saying i feel it's worth the extra $30 for all of that stuff included in the special edition.

I believe Walmart and Gamecrazy are doing license plates as well, different designs however.

Wal-mart is doing a t-shirt which wouldn't fit me, and gamecrazy is doing a gamerpic unlock card.

I'll probably just get the game cuz i don't really need all that extra stuff taking up room but it's definately a good deal. |

Personally I don't think the extras are worth the money. The lock box is kinda neat I guess but other than that, the other stuff is just meh.

I dunno duffel bags can be nice to have. I actually thought about getting it for that and the fact I've always felt GTA has had some superb soundtracks. I see cheap duffel bags goin for around $20 at walmart so... Kinda need one for when I do storm call and need to pack up for going out of town. Duffel bags are good for that... or transporting dope. lol..
Depends everyone has their own opinion but I think it's a pretty decent deal. There are other games that put out a 'collectors' and give you a artbook and cel only so compared to those this great. |

I dunno about $90 but that lock box sounds useful if it is made of hard, durable material. I assume it was made to store the game and artbook. |

Ridiculousness at it's finest:

Damn near every review points out a flaw, yet 10 out of 13 give it a perfect score. Thanks for allowing us reason to keep the faith in journalistic integrity.

well, it's looking like i won't have my amazon preorder for atleast another week, i guess that'll give me plenty of time to finish rainbow six vegas, and also to start rsv2 when i'm done with that.

Amazing game. I love it. Not sure how the story will pan out but several missions in and I'm just flat out enjoying the experience. |

The intro was well done. Very cinematic. The game is great as well |
