Usually I'm not one for collectors edition versions of a game, but it seems 2K Games know how to swindle me out of my money with the announcement of the Ultimate Loot Chest Limited Edition for Borderlands 2.

wow the 21st? that was pretty quick is it using the same engine?

also i heard the fatigue/damage on the chest was real and not painted on which i found sceptical.. true?

Well I'll totally be getting this because I still order happy meals.

Thats actually a pretty good CE, you get a fair bit of stuff in there.

wow the 21st? that was pretty quick is it using the same engine?

3 years is pretty quick? Borderlands came out in October 2009

This might have to be the first physical CE I've ever bought.

Whats with the bobblehead, are we supposed to know who this Markus is? Cos everyone seems to be making a big deal out of this "authentic" Markus bobblehead.

If the chest opened like a loot chest does, then I'd probably buy it

Just remember most of that stuff is gonna be junk and only looked at once and then forgotten. The chest looks cool but then that's gonna take up space when you never use it. Better off just buying the game.

Markus is the dude who initially sends you out to find the vault in the first one. He also owns all the vending machines n s*** on pandora

Rev, that's the case with pretty much every CE ever.

Except I have a giant empty space on my desk between 2 plasma balls that could use a loot chest and bobblehead :P

I am seriously tempted to et this. But $158 ... might have to see if I can find it cheaper.

I'm a sucker for collectors edition art books.
