although im a little disappointed that i cant get the hardened cardboard box it comes in, i think im likely to except this offer

can anyone else see a difference in the 2 except the theme that i didnt know was there ?

WTF.....No Theme...What Bullshit!!!

You lucky bastard.

Well done.

No difference except the missing theme. Big deal. Looks like you saved some money (which can now be applied to your terrible, terrible male prostitue addiction ). Congrats.

Nate is just wringing his hands hoping that you'll continue to send him pix

where did you order it from Darren?

says at the bottom .. play.com quick go order

I would have to assume this was given out cause you preordered

yes manic i think so ?

and n8 that wouldn't even scratch the edges lol

didn't see that. I've already got mine on order from Game.


As long as you're happy with the deal

Well, this would not bug me too much. All I want is Elite and the Game. Hope you are not too bummed out.

I bet some guy with a forklift drove the palate of hardened editions out the back door into a unmarked white van...

very nice...can't argue with that deal at all...

I just think it's a value to get the DLC up front at a discount.

You lucky Bastage...saved some big bucks!
