Crysis 2 special edition to cost Ł130? News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

Comes with a nano-suit backpack.

Pictures of what appears to be a Crysis 2 limited edition bundle have appeared on a German retailer's website.

According to PlayFront.de, as translated by our chums at Eurogamer.de, the pics appeared on Webhallen.com but have since been removed.

The "Nano-Edition" appears to include a nano-suit backpack measuring 46cm by 34cm. It also comes with a 20cm Prophet statue, a 176-page art book and a steel-style gamebox. Plus there are some online goodies included, such as immediate access to higher ranks, unlockable items, an exclusive dog tag, a SCAR hologram and a weapon skin.

The packshot PlayFront got hold of is for the PS3 version. There's no word on whether the PC and Xbox 360 games will also be available as limited editions.

PlayFront puts the price for the pack at €158, which is around Ł130 in the old money. Crumbs.

they forgot to mention that the nano suit also cures erectile dysfunction, hence the price.

I take it that at that price the backpack won't have the ability to turn invisible for ten seconds?

well at least it's something functional. you shell out, and you get a backpack that you can use in real life. it's not like somebody's throwing in utterly useless stuff like night-vision gog..... oh wait

Why not just limit special editions to a steelbook case and an art book instead of including all this useless crap that costs a fraction of the extra you have to pay to get it? It certainly doesn't make the actual game any better nor does it feel like you're getting value for money either. Why pay Ł130 for one game anyway when you get three that price? :?

@Retro Although I didn't do a very thorough search, Crysis was still Ł35 like a year after release! (and they blamed "poor"/ slow sales on piracy.. not the ridiculous price after so long)

instead of buying a plastic videogame backpack for ŁŁŁ, why not cut out the middle man and cut off your cock?

This is getting out of hand. I've seen about 2 special editions in the last 5 years that contained stuff people might genuinely want to own - BS2, FO:NV (I bought the BS2 special edition incidentally, the first one ever in my life, I got it new for Ł47).

Who on earth pays through the nose for a plastic backpack? I kind of wonder how anyone young enough to want such a thing could actually afford it.

Thank you but Webhallen.com is Swedish You could see the pictures on http://www.game.se as well, but they seem to have removed them too.

I saw them when they were up, and it looked crap. Like a ugly pro-biking backpack. (just noticed you can see them on PlayFront, so everyone can behold it's ghastly appearance )

I don't think this game quite has the clout yet to demand this sort of special edition...

Who buys this shit?

The same people who will pay the 60 pounds difference between the Halo: Reach Limited and Legendary Editions, when all the latter has over the former is a piece of virtual armour and a toy statue.

I thought we covered this in the iPad threads. Some people have more money or attach different value to some things. It may seem a waste of money to some of us, but it clearly gives some people pleasure so just let them spend their money as they see fit

In some ways i can understand it for halo because it is a mega selling franchise crisis is not and neither does it have a great lore/back story

Well, that's what we'll be paying for the next COD and that won't even be a collectors/ limited edition - at least if Mr Kotick has his greedy way.

i think you'll struggle to find one person "jealous" of another's videogame backpack.

i can't tell you what the exact emotion is that i feel when i see people buying these special editions with commemorative back packs, or t shirts, or plastic guns, or figurines, etc, etc, but it's a sort of despair at other people's lack of self-awareness, coupled with a warm feeling of self-righteousness.

in short: i am a cunt.

I'll wait for the 300 million dollar one which contains an actual nano-suit.

If I start saving now I might be able to afford one at the approximate end of time.

Is there a market for Crysis paraphernalia? Snake's eyepatch, Marcus's Lancer or even Gordon's crowbar, I can (sort of) understand. But Crysis stuff? Really?
