The one @ Gamespot with the Duffel Bag, the Lockbox, the Art book and the Audio CD of tracks from the game that I'm assuming you can listen to in your car when driving around in REAL life. Its $90 or $100 or something like that. I think it's totally worth it. Hell, the guide is probably about $25 more bucks.

My question is do you have put the full money amount down when you reserve the game? Say if I wanted to do it (reserve a copy) today at around 10:30 this morning. Do I have to give the salesperson $100 today and they'll call me up around 4/29 and say it's ready to be picked up?

$89.99 for the game, a daffel bag, art book, sample music CD, and a lock box? No Thanks! I'm just getting the game.

You usually give them a deposit of 5 or 10 bucks when you first reserve it and then pay the rest when you pick up the game. It most often applies to collectors and special edition games as well.

Good, I didn't want to give them $100 a month and a half before it comes out.

HELLZ NAW...$100 for a videogame is a bit much for me :?

The regular $60 version will do just fine...

I already have it pre-ordered and paid-off.

GTAIV is one of the very few games that I would spend a lot of extra money on. I really like the stuff that comes with the special edition, and it's certainly better then dev interviews and trailers that most special editions come with.

You get some cool stuff, so when you combine that with the mega release that is GTAIV, and the fact that it's my most anticipated game this year, there's no way I won't have the premo version of it.;)

the lockbox isn't very useful because a theif could just take the whole thing with him and open it later.

art book and soundtrack, I don't really care about, gta usually has licensed music and the art is nothing special.

I do need a duffel bag, but I'll just buy one seperately.

I'm not going to use the lockbox to keep all my GTA stuff in. I have other plans for that, and a Rockstar Duffel bag sounds pretty sweet. I think the whole thins is only $89.99. What is that, $30 more bucks?

doesn't matter what you keep it in, a theif can still just take the whole thing.

I'm betting its a smaller cheap duffel bag.

No, the regular 60 dollar edition. 60 is already more than enough for a game!

I will only get the Strategy Guide. It is the only accessory that is actually useful, so I'll spend my money on that.

Weren't they like $159.99 to $199.99. It was outrageous. Yet I wanted one so bad. Thank goodness I could not afford it back then.

I couldn't have said it better myself. GTA IV is probably the only special edition game I'm buying this year.

Well I would love the audio tracks. If their as good as the last 4 GTA "counting the PSP and PS2 story ones" But I would hope that CD has the commercials also. In fact im in the process of making a "maybe just a slide show" to the GTA SA commercials. I still own SA, need to buy VC to get those. Or at least rent it.

But for 100 bucks. I know I can just plug the audio into my 16 track "Multi-track recorder" and grab it.

Funny thing is the game could be bad. And Id still get at least 4 good hours of enjoyment from it from the radio and driving around.

Yeah, because that's what any of us intend to do.....:roll:

Don't take it so seriously. It's just a collector's item for fans of the series.

Negative. The regular edition will do just fine. I am playing Grand Theft Auto IV and that's all that matters. The rest I could really do without. For those who want to spend extra $ on the SE more power to you. While it is a anticipated release it will not be the only GREAT game coming out this year. We have Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots to name one on the way.....

heck no, i think a GTA collectors pack would be a waste of money (personally)...to tell you the truth i think that most collector's packs are a waste of money as they rarely add anything new to the gameplay but i guess if you like to have REAL TROPHIES for your HOME this would be a good thing to have ;)

Spend the extra $40 people. Your only going to buy it once.
