Yes, even HEX1GON has a Christmas Special!

Hi gamers,

Merry Christmas, happy holidays it's the 25th of December hope everyone had a great lunch and dinner with their family and friends.

12AM today I got a gift from my sister which I didn't actually expect it was very much a surprise for me, I unwrapped the gift and found a Super Mario Collector's Edition Chess Set! Very beautiful gift, has many of the great characters from the Mushroom Kingdom in a sexy collector's tin. Most Nintendo collectables are expensive and sometimes not even license products. I'm happy to report that this is indeed a license Nintendo Chess Set! :) Thanks sis!

Batman Arkham City collector's edition. US vs EUROPE Taboo.

Hi Gamers,

Today was the day that many Batman fans have been waiting for, everyone who pre-ordered the collectors edition went home without the animation DVD that was included in the US release, but not anywhere else. The empty space under the statue of Batman was for the animation DVD. Many european buyers were puzzled when they opened the draw and found nothing. Along with a download code for the soundtrack, not a physical copy. This is rather beyond me, it's the same price as the US release (ignoring exchange rate), yet the extra CD and DVD were left out they could of at least include a download code for the movie as well, nah that was the right thing to do. Instead they give the European players extra DLC skins, ohhh how collectable are those!

Even though the collector's edition is rather detailed and pretty damn awesome, the cost cut was rude towards the European buyers especially if they wanted the animation DVD and a physical soundtrack. Usually that's the point of a collector's edition, is the physical stuff that it comes with, and not just pieces of paper with codes on them. It's pretty debatable to say the European players were completely disappointed as the statue looks great, and the box for the lot is very well presented. I can surely say, I'd be pretty neutral... if it was a neutral price.

This edition got released here in Australia with the statue, but I'm not aware if it included a physical copy of the soundtrack or not. Which is very confusing as Australia gets European releases usually, some stores are offering the import which happens to be the US version I couldn't say the game is region free. Another thing to add to the crap factor this whole epic edition with the awesome box is that it doesn't even include a case for the game nor a manual. What you do get is a art book and at the end of that art book is a DVD tray, who designed this? Have it separate, so collector's can have the game on the shelf!

I won't go too far into detail about the inconvenience about this edition, as some fans will agree and disagree about the points I make here. Overall the edition is rather cool and interesting, the art book and the statue is what you're really paying for. Consider the game as a throw in extra.

More Bayonetta News!!

Hello gamers, once again!

Last night I made an amazing discovery on eBay, no I didn't buy a Biohazard Code Veronica Dreamcast, or a working Atari Jaguar CD but I did manage to grab a Bayonetta Climax Edition complete with famous pre-order only bonus gun. Not only did I manage to actually get a hold of one, but the amount of money I spent on it is a miracle.

I got this for $70AUD, I'm dead serious! However it came without the game, but the game it's self is selling in stores for about roughly $20AUD, the good thing is it came with the sleeve for the game to slip into I also have the game by it's self so now this will be a complete item once it arrives, how cool is that?

After doing more research, SEGA says it's strictly limited and only 1,500 units. The UK, Australia and New Zeeland got the pre-order bonus however the UK got a plain white box, as a posed to the NZ and Australian release got printed box. The item I bought is the one with the printed artwork, awesome!
With the gun being strictly limited, brand new in the box it fetches $400+ -- wow. So the item even being opened like the one I'll be receiving would be worth just as much or a little less, I could possibly place $350 as it's value.

The seller possibly just didn't know what they had, or wanted a quick sale. Miracles do happen and many collectors pick up the rarest things for very small amounts of money from time to time. So finally it's happened to me and hope it happens again another time, because damn it's awesome :D

This item will be included in my next collecting video, as I've been a little tight on money recently it might be rather short.

Below you can find images of the item I *should* be receiving.
