great game! played the first one and I know this one is gonna be good based on the reviews and speculation of gameplay, i say this was worth it. i am a collector of nice collectable steelbook case and the mini artbook is a very nice touch. the shipping could have done better, it came in one of the paper cardboard mailer, and shipped by FedEx, it arrived crushed on some areas close to the corners. i open it up and the special edition game was in good condition but the flaps on the bottom came open and now has creases at the bottom. overall, the the game is good. well worth buy, if you money to spare. but i would recommend getting the game by itself if you don't like collecting steelbook, or wait for a sale. at the time of this writing, it seems the special edition are being sold out every where. Some retailers online are getting them in but in small quantity i guess. i rate on how fast it gets delivered, how well it was packaged and of the condition of the item they pick and packaged. 4 stars for fast delivery and 1 star lost for a little damage on bottom with flaps sticking out. if they had it in store i would had gotten in person, but unfortunately they didnt sell in store. Great game, can't wait to experience the story.
