Does anyone know if you buy the limited edition if you'll still get the box art from the regular version? I like the cover for the regular version, but I'd like to have the bonus features included with the limited edition also.

Also with the limited edition, you can ONLY pre-order it. On August 24th/November 9th, the release date, they will not sell you the Limited Edition unless you had it pre-ordered.

Yeah man im with you on that as well. The regular edition cover looks very cool as well. Would be nice if the Limited Edition Tin was just an extra cover on top of the normal box. But that does'nt seem to be the case sadly.

Really? I never really cared much about that myself......No -blam!- dude. Were just talking about how nice it would be if they gave us both covers. Its a small thing but collectors generally obsess over it. Which is who that edition is supposed to be for in the first place. LOL

I know, pre-order and reserve are the same exact term in a literal meaning. But some of you think pre-order means pay in full and reserve is just 5$ down. But in a overall meaning, there the same.

Thanks for all the snappy replies, I kinda figured that it was an either or kinda deal. I know that ultimately it's what's in the box that matters, and you're right I'll be playing the game for hours at night not starting that the pretty box art lol. But still I think that cover is sweet and I'll just look the the picture elsewhere, no worries. Also for me I'd rather spend the extra 5 bucks or so and get the bonus dvd, after all it's something else to check out once you finish the game.

plus it says there is "more" that they dont list. so what all is actually on it isnt known. they could be savin some cool stuff to be a surprise.
