Saints Row: The Third Platinum Edition, preorder pack detailed

Its fricking Nyan Cat

Wow these guys are going all out

@Icehearted For me FF12 was a bad buy on my part. I knew going in that it was pretty much going to be like every other Final Fantasy game, but I still bought it. As for DA 2, the only thing I hated about it was the repeat dungeons. I never grew up playing PC games so when DAO came around the only thing I knew about it was how slow the action felt. DA 2 was an improvement for me on the battlefield. Although the Prince DLC was a bunch of BS. It's one thing to have DLC come out a few months after a game is released, but to have a something like that available on release day is unforgivable.

@Icehearted very true words

@cdog21 Fair enough, but how about Dragon Age 2 or Final Fantasy XII? I seem to see a lot of remorse buyers with the 3DS as well. Pre-orders are a bad idea, but software companies generate advertising, hype, sales, etc by convincing people (to my amazement) to pay full price or more for a game that has no reviews, no demo, nothing available but a lot of hype and awards that make no sense. Duke Nukem Forever even snagged some awards about 10 years ago, and the things was far away from finished at that time. I see no harm in waiting to buy, especially in a market were refunds are almost always non-existent. As for those exclusives, they're usually nothing to get excited about.

@icehearted True, but then again we already have an idea about what kind of game Saints 3 will be. Duke has been MIA for the better part of 20 years so a game style change would have been expected, but not to such a disappointing degree.

If nothing else, Duke Nukem Forever proved once and for all that pre-orders are for suckers. Also, retailer exclusivity? Really? Good f*****g grief.

Oh my god it's so epic!

How sweet!!

These aren't gamestop exclusives are they? Because I want to get this from amazon. Please don't be gamestop exclusive.

Interesting news - not my type of game but I expect someone in the house will buy it :roll:

i cant wait for this game

And this was the WTF of the year. GOTY!!!

@RedWave247 thats exactley my 1st thought they showcase the item in the demo yet now we are to believe its only a special item in this pack? i think voilitions got some explaining to do and fast!!

I just need to put stop to this comparing this GTA with SR...I mean you cant compared them... GTA is Realistic and has a really good story in many ways it will always be superior to SR and plus that franchise practically gave birth to SR... SR started out as a clone and another Sand box game influenced on gans... But SR stoped beeing linear and got its own style... and its fans cuz its Ridiculiosly FUN... and has sense of humor gta has it to but this is a whole new diferent spark of funny... Soo in conclusion there are the Oposite One Realisitic and Superior the other one not Realistic but really fun... People saying GTAIV was boring i mean common TERRIFIC Game and SR2 marked a new era for the franchise cuz i mean with got to be honest here first one sucked...

WIN! :D

i think this is like a alternate skin of the one your thinking of Red Wave.

Wait, hang on... Okay, a brief disclaimer: I fully intend on pre-ordering this game and buying it first day. I loved the hell out of Saints Row 2 and this looks like more of the same, only turned up to 11. That said...I'm a little miffed that the people-cannon - showcased in their E3 demo reel - is only through a pre-order. Now, I could be wrong and the pre-order item is just a different kind of cannon, but it still seems odd. Why showcase this extremely fun item, but then only limit it to people that pre-order it or have it as a DLC purchase later down the road?

GTA SUCKS. Saints Row is waaaaaaayyyy more fun than any GTA ever was.

dressing as a cat killing people.......................epic

@LoveSack I don't mind special editions if they are actually 'special'. The SR3 special edition looks terrible though. I've already got Seheisners why the heck would I want those cruddy ones

I hate how every single game these days has a limited edition, super edition, collectors edition, pre order edition...etc. what happened to just buying a game without tacky headphones, plastic figures and other asorted kitsch

Saints Row 2 was a better game than GTA 4 for a simple reason. It was more fun to play. GTA4 seemed too much like a chore. Saints Row 2 was just a blast.

I always love rampaging in gta, but in 4 it just wasnt as fun a it was in previous games, now SR on the other hand encourages it and i love it. like you play GTA for story then you play SR to kick people in the nuts.

Kudos for tossing in an actual soundtrack CD, but whose bright idea was making the headset unusable with XBL? From the image: "Headset not compatible with XBox LIVE. For use with 3.5mm audio input and smartphone devices only."

i need to see more gameplay

i do need a headset but im not paying an additional $40 for a headset when i can get one for $20

Grand theft auto cheap mock up. No thanks.

@BAD-C0MPANY It is a joke... which is why people play it. Now grow a sense of humor or go home! =P

GTA has kind of grown up from its GTA III era. Still a good franchise though, but SR takes everything GTA has done to a whole new level of hilarity.

You either play GTA or you go home. Saint's Row is a joke.

Looks very nice, but it's not worth $100.

SR 3 looks good, the headphones look like something you could actually use compared to other "limited/collectors/platinum" editions but $100 is a bit much.

This pre-order looks a bit decent and more worthwhile for once? Just hope it doesn't require a second mortgage to purchase it? Great "TOTALLY BONKERS" Fun... looking forward to playing it for xmas!

Wait, so they want an extra $40 for a soundtrack cd and a headset? That's pretty lame.

Maybe, just maybe if the soundtrack has a few Metal tracks. That's what made Saint's Row2 playable

Cool!

man i tell you i couldnt get thrgh any of the dlc for gta but i have put this back in for the 3rd play thrgh

I find it ironic that in the picture it is for the xbox 360, yet in the description it said that the headphones are not compatible with xbox live.

pretty colors, must...buy ! @_@

want to pre-order this version but no sites have this, not even any sort of collectors addition. So when will UK sites have this?? Cos atm gamespot are lairs.

I love Saints Row. Still tired of the GTA comparisons, get both for the best of both worlds. I can say, just the sounds of a Man-a-pult sounds like I could waste hours just doing that.

@datniccah187 Saints Row has unlimited hours of gameplay.

AWESOME!!!!

@datniccah187 fail -.- GTA is worth 1 playthrough Saints Row is worth over 100 hours of gameplay

A useful pre-order item for once. I might just look into this now.

I'll rent it, it'll be worth one playthough I'm sure
