The God of War steelbook only is Europe only I'm pretty sure. US has to get the full CE to get the steelbook. It wouldn't surprise me if they do the same with Spider-Man.

Horizon did the same thing. I love the 1st party steelbooks so it's really infuriating to see them locked behind the $130+ editions in America.

At least we got the SotC steelbook for only $10 more, which was awesome.

I agree, not a fan when they do that. I'm a sucker for steelbooks so I pre-ordered but why don't they just release a $79.99 version that includes the steelbook as well.

Hmmm....I might actually get this. Depends on if Pokemon comes out this year or not.

Ugh Best Buy is apparently blocking my Border Store address now, wonderful.

Is this available anywhere else yet?

Hell, I'd pay $90 depending on the game and if it came with a mini artbook or something. I don't have room for statues (plus I think most of the ones in the CEs are kinda crummy) so paying $130+ just to get a steelbook is obviously untenable. I can justify the space for steelbooks and artbooks.

Really, the best was TLoU last gen, when it was $100, but you got the full artbook + steelbook+ season pass.

Nah i highly doubt it.

Yeah, the SotC steelbook was awesome, I'm glad they did that but I'm wondering if that was because it was a remake and they didn't have a CE to push as well.

I'm already getting the God of War CE just for the steelbook, so I'm not sure I can afford also getting the CE for Spider-Man as well. On the other hand, God of War and Spider-Man are my only future planned purchases for gaming in 2018 right now, so I may reserve a copy now and switch to regular closer to if money's tight. I really don't have room for all these dumb statues though.

I really wish they would stop including trash figures in all of these collectors editions. That or also offer a deluxe edition with steelbook and other goodies like like SotC or No Mans Sky.

That collectors edition is worth it. Especially with the GCU. This game is going to be a mega blockbuster!

i kinda agree, it's a bit boring :(

It is? That's the one I was referring to.

I thought you guys meant the special edition, which I think looks ugly and flat. I think the character version with the logo looks great, but ayyyyyy.

Terrible box arts, I could not care less about most of the CE contents, and I wish it was coming a bit earlier but all of these are quite minor things and I'll be there day one.

The Digital Deluxe edition of the game ($79.99 MSRP) will include a copy of the game as well as new story chapters with our post-launch DLC series – Marvel's Spider-Man: The City That Never Sleeps. That's right, we'll be supporting the game post-launch and you'll be getting three new chapters each with new missions, new villains and characters, and additional suits for Spider-Man. More details on that a bit later down the road.
The wording is a big vague. Does that mean the new chapters will be included in the deluxe edition but paid otherwise?

It sounds like a paid season pass that you get included if you buy deluxe, much like how Uncharted 4 digital deluxe included the paid DLC in its Deluxe preorder

Standard box art looks like something from PS2 era. Or like some shovelware Wii spiderman game that was tied in with a kids cartoon.

Hmmm, might wait for Complete Edition. If the main game is hot then yeah, I'll consider early purchasing. What we've seen so far just doesn't seem that...amazing. But in any case, new info drops 'n all, so that'll help change my mind!

As a CE though? Nothing special so a pass for that, that's fore sure.

Said it in the other thread but boxart is too plain. Throw a city in the background or stylize it more.

The goal of the box art was to be bold and show off the game's Spider-Man and suit. We'll have lots of other art (like the Alex Ross cover).

Also the statue is so cool - but it's a spoilery so we can't reveal it just yet :) It's also from Gentle Giant and super rad.

Kudos to you folks over at Insomniac, you guys/gals are so proud of the suit and rightfully so. Can't wait for the game.

Mission accomplished, imo. It's bold and clean. Hypes me up tbh.

sorry just out of curiosity, can you disclose the size of the statue (or just how big it is likely to be)?

The CE will be available at all retailers? What does availability look like for Canadians?

Pre-Ordered the Collectors Edition once I was able to, looks sweet. I am disappointed in the new trend where Europe will get a special edition that looks pretty dang sweet, but we don't get one in the US. Same thing happened with God of War and that's the reason I am going with the standard edition for that one.

I'm not sure we've said. I'm being careful about what I say given the story-stuff contained underneath Spider-Man that we are hiding.

It's a substantial statue though :)

It will be available in Canada, not sure on exact specifics.
