Some of you may not know this about me, but I'm a little OCD when it comes to collector's items. When I was young, I had to have every set of Ninja Turtles, meaning I bought four turtles every time. Collecting comics, I had to have every issue from a story-arc and... well, you get the idea. My latest frenzy has been collector's editions of games I really want. I have Guild Wars CEs, Gears of War CEs, and several others. Unfortunately for me, when GTA came out I only had enough for the regular edition and it literally hurt my soul. I've been scouring ebay and the likes since then to see if I could at least obtain the DLC codes legitimately. Of course, I've played at the notion to get them "creatively", but I opted against it since I didn't want to get my account banned or whatnot. My mania, however, still grows. Recently, I was poking around the Rockstar Warehouse and I saw that they had the CE for sale, which, of course, sent me back into my CE craze. I have the money that I shouldn't spend $150 on a game I already own, but I'm not sure I can talk myself out of it anymore. You guys need to help convince me NOT to buy this thing. I mean, I know this stuff is not really worth it, but I love tin boxes, I love and really want the dlc cars, and honestly, I could do without the rest, though my set wouldn't be complete without it of course. So there it is. My task to you. Talk me out of it... please! This is tempting me so!

Liam Neesom got trounced by a Sith that his younger, more inexperienced pupil was able to defeat fairly easily by the 'surprise' he saw coming. I'm not scared Qui Gon. Try again!

That was a long time ago in a galaxy far away. He's learned a lot since then. He is Aslan, Hannibal from the A-team, and fucking Zeus!

I'm hearing that buzzer for wrong answers to all of those suggestions. Next. ;]

Ok here we go. If Heists come out before the end of spring, as R* said in the newswire, then they are deserving of your money. If they don't release it by the end of spring (21st June I think) then you don't buy it as they will be liars who don't deserve an extra $150. Convinced?

The fact that heists weren't in at launch makes them liars.

... Vipr, I don't know what THAT is, but I'm already a dork enough without an "ostrich nap pillow". Good point though.

All those other Collector's Editions of games you have... do you still play those games? Are you still happy that you purchased them or are they forgotten on a shelf somewhere?
If you want a nice box for a game you'll eventually never play again it's your money and you can do what you want with it, but that's what GTA V is eventually going to be. A $150 box.
