So do we get the PS4 Spidey theme if we get something other than the Collector's edition?

Really nice to see a CE that has the DLC, I was really bummed out about Wolfenstine CE not having the season pass.

Yup. The Wolfenstein II CE was one of my most disappointing purchases of last year. I got it day one and my dumbass didn't read that it didn't include the season pass only for it to go on sale on Best Buy for $59.99, 6 weeks later.

I get off like a bandit here in a sense because 1. It has both the Steelbook and season pass and 2. My brother's kid absolutely loves Spider-Man so I can give him the statue I don't have space for.

While I may not care for Spider-Man as a character, the Anarchic Spider-Man is AWESOME
Glad to see his costume make it.

It is a little... strange if it's Peter wearing the costume though....

Yeah, really glad the CE has all of the digital deluxe stuff plus the physical stuff so I think I'm going to go for the CE, hope the statue is good. As was said, it's good that Best Buy still discounts CEs.

Really like that steelbook a ton.
Probably a lot of cool art they could include so I hope there's a decent number of pages in that mini-artbook, but it'll probably be kinda short.

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.
Yeah, it's nice to have the choice if it's not a full CE I want. Especially since a lot of these steelbooks look great.

Ohh, thanks...not available for US then I guess.

Not able to decide whether to get the CE or not.
Game - Definitely want!!
Season Pass - Want
Steelbook - neutral
Statue - Dont want
Mini Artbook - meh...
You don't seem to care about anything that's exclusive to the collector's edition so you should probably save your money...

I'm curious if the lower part of the statue is basically a bunch of villains.

Or maybe the Venom symbiote?

Bunch of villains makes sense actually. But my bet is still on Venom.

As for spoilery... they said they're gonna show the statue later which means they'll show it's character(s) in trailer or something. Come E3 see the Venom in trailer and statue reveal. Or you know, Morales is a bad guy in this universe and that's still 2 spideys in that statue...

That Box art is so damn good. Simple yet unbelievably eye-catching.
Just imagine you go to the store to buy a new game and there it sits, glowing. You grab it and say "yes, I wanna play Spider-Man".

That would be me, but I guess a lot of people don't like it.

Edit: The standard edition one btw...Collectors edition cover is pretty ugly tbh.

Why does it say 'Revealing Summer 2018' on the statue in the image, if jstevenson says it will still be covered up in the retail box? I thought that text in the image meant whatever is hidden will be revealed at E3, presumably in a trailer or gameplay stage demo.

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.

The cover art is classy af, it's sad the some people can't appreciate it, the team has done an awesome job :)

Im gona guess the CE spolier is either venom (to tie in with the movie release) or some other super villain. Must be a cage holding something, or could it even be just a crate!

I'm guessing the other part of the statue is
fully-Spidey'd out Miles Morales

I can't wait for this game, but I can't go with the Collector's Edition, solely because I want budget left over for Dragon Quest XI -- and I get a hunch that Forza Horizon 4 will be out that month this year, but I guess we'll know for sure at E3. Stacked month!

I don't want to pre-order the CE from Gamestop but I'm going to end up doing it anyway. Idk what's the hold up with Amazon.

Does anyone know of any online retailer (except GAME UK), where the special edition can be pre-ordered in EU/UK? I cannot use any payment method on GAME UK.
Had to get the GOW Limited Edition from Gamestop Ireland...

Don't like AUSTRALIAN RATINGS logo, not willing to go to EBGAMES.AU unless there is no other choice.

Thought: Sony typically does price cuts/promos/slim models in the fall. Spider Man is their biggest fall release that's exclusive so,...

Could we see $199 PS4 slim or even a super slim on September 7th, a la PS4 slim suddenly releasing Sept 14, 2016?

Idk if AMD would have a 7nm version of their APU ready, maybe 12nm? Or just a price cut on slim?

I think a $199 Slim/$349 Pro model would work well for the end of 2018.
