A customised metalsafe deposit box.

A Rockstar keychain for the safe deposit box keys.

A limited edition Rockstar duffel bag.

Production artwork in the Grand Theft Auto IV Art Book.

Selected soundtrack CD from Grand Theft Auto IV.

A specially packaged version of the game.

Is it worth the $90 to you? It is to me, that's why I pre-ordered it.

To me not really, I'm not into the "lotta schwag" special editions like this. Not into useless chochkes (deposit box, duffel bag, action figures), im more into making of dvds, and stuff that will fit into a smaller case. I just dont have space for the stuff, plus im not gonna show it off to people.

I could see why someone would want it (you DO get a lot of stuff) but I like special editions like Mass Effect, Halo 3 (without the garbarge disc holders), and the upcoming Metal Gear 4 LE. The only thing that interests me from the GTA4 LE is the mini artbook and selected soundtrack, but even then Id rather buy or get a full sized artbook and download all the radio station soundtracks. Enjoy the game!

Yeah, but I'm a really artsy secretive illegal things kind of guy.

The lock box will come in handy to store some salvia in and the duffel bag will be usefull too.

If you just want to play the game, no. If you love GTA and want to collect stuff relating to it, then yes. It would be nice to have more making of dvds and the like included in it. Also one thing I really want a game's special edition to include is beta levels or levels that were cut from the game that you could actually play, even if they arent complete with textures, sound, or even really buggy.

Absolutely not to me. It's all junk that doesn't add anything to my life. I just want to play the game. The only time i would ever buy a collector's edition is if it came with significant extra content for the game (which it should).

If you like collecting that stuff, more power to you but it seems like a ripoff.

For me I don't mind for the Special Editions. As long as I could find a copy on that day I'll be happy.

Salvia is weak man ..

I don't really think the LE's of any game are worth it, just suck out more money from those who are obsessed with the series .. I don't need a keychain to enjoy the game, which I love, and real reason for the purchase ..

Im getting the mormal version. The SE does'nt seem worth 30 more dollars for some swag. The game is fine enough for me. MGS 4 is another story though....

If there are special editions for games I would generally get those, especially for games that will mean a lot, and definetly GTA4 is one of those. I'm interested in art books, but the fact that they're packing so much things in there kind of makes me hesitate. Don't really need another box or case or whatever, I don't have space to put them.

I am going to say NO. I just want to play the game! everything else is secondary but, like everybody will probably say if you are a collector then I say go for it but, all that matters to me more than a duffel bag, artbook, safety deposit box, etc..... is PLAYING Grand Theft Auto IV.

I just want the safety deposit box but that won't justify me paying $90 for the other stuff included.

Well, at least somebody agreed with me....

And what's with the salvia hating?

But whatev. You guys are haters...

I think it's a badass deal.

It would be even more badass if it came with a gas mask!

Maybe they'll do it for Fallout 3.......

Are you crazy? Salvia can't even be related to ganja. If you smoke it correctly Salvia takes you out of this whole world for around 5 minutes. You see new lands, meet people, and go on a lifetime long adventure. The whole natural world around you just completely disolves away.

It is meant to be used as a Herbal Tea .. and 5 minutes? Man so not worth it .. my as well smoke tree bark ..

Pot is a relaxing drug, I don't need to be taken out of my world, I just like to spice it up .. ;)
