    I posted a link for that collector's edition on the last page. It hasn't been confirmed or denied by Gearbox/TakeTwo so far. If it's real, it's going to be insanely expensive.

    That GTTV footage also confirms it: gold pistol. Right at the end. Yes.

    Just justify it by telling yourself that your "cost/per year in development" is so much lower than buying the even a normal edition of any other new game*.

    I wish my house had a fireplace. That would so be on it.

    Unf, unf, unf.

    That's the only thing that came to mind when that collector's set got confirmed. Somehow, I need to get the funds together to acquire that. I have never put money into a collector's edition before, because they're pretty useless, but this thing is gaming history.

    What a waste of an opportunity with Jon St. John. First of all, if you're making a parody skit, remove the 10 second intro that tells the audience that they're about to watch a comedy skit. Second, make sure you're funny.

    You know, that doesn't bother me so much as the fact that this game will have extreme violence, poop, and most likely poop related violence, BUT what bothers me is that there will be parents protesting this game for the pixelated women and sexually suggestive themes. "Here Johnny, have fun with your guns & poop simulator and... WAIT WHAT WHAT WHAT??? There are blurry boobs in this game! Our children are going to Hell! Everybody call your Senators!"

    A few years back, on another site, I read an article pertaining to Gears of War. In one of the comments, there was seriously a guy who asked if the game had any swearing in it because he wanted to play coop with his young daughter and wanted to ensure that it was appropriate. This is referring to a game where you can bisect someone with a chainsaw, in case you forgot. He was completely serious.

    People are just weird.

    That was my biggest problem with the Janet Jackson thing. "What? That man just pantomimed sexually assaulting that woman. Yawn. Oh wait, as a result of his mock sexual assault, her nipple was exposed for half a second. HOW DARE SHE EXPOSE HERSELF!?" *facepalm*

    Can anyone confirm/deny that the Duke bust is the included paper craft and not actually a model?

    Here's to hoping that the bust turns out better than the Arkham Asylum batarang. :P

    Given how long I've waited for this....I think I can do with a CE for a bit more. Those shots of Duke in the interim period (winning two Emmys, or something like that, winning the UFC championship, or something like that, going into space, climbing Mount Everest, etc.) sold me.

    Plus, free launch-day shipping from Amazon.com.
