Limited edition unboxing

It looks like a great deal!

Man I wish I had an extra twenty bucks to throw at upgrading my current pre-order to the limited edition! Looks awesome!

Nice!  The packaging looks cool, and having it all laid out like that really shows how many extras you get with the Limited Edition. 

However...

GAH!  This isn't making it any easier to wait for my copy!

Its nice enough, can't wait to play the game.

The only reason I went for normal as opposed to limited is because it didn't offer anything "in game" bonuswise.. unlike the novel, which will be giving us another campaign type thing in game so i have novel pre-ordered (although being in the UK can I just say getting the novel over here NOT EASY), you may want to look into that.

Manuals, maps, miniatures etc..all nice but in game bonus/incentive codes I personally tend to find much more appealing and useful.

Awesome. can't wait.

I LOVE MAPS!

Looks awesome

I wish I could have gotten the limited edition, however the beta experience made up for that.

Also, I just realized that I have been mispronouncing Hiergamenon.

Noooooo, Roll it, Don't fold it!!! Please

Dragon looks awesome btw

Quickly! Who did took note of the Serial???

Sweet LE. Sweet.

(Don't forget to put by mistake a real copy of your book in my LE instead of the flyer. )

You can not beat a good box.

Always nice to see.  The dragon will be prefect for my monthly Pen&Paper session!  Maybe the folks will accidently dimension travel to the world of Elemental since the maps all done.  I'll have to get my better half to iron that map flat!

Eww, I hate in-game codes and such. I'm glad they didn't have any. To each his own, I guess.

Mail support, they give you a link to upgrade from standard to Limited for an extra 19$

For future reference, it's probably not the best idea to start off an "unboxing" video with "I've already unpacked it".  

Not that it matters much to me, I've already pre-ordered it. 

What would you call the game-code in the back of the novel?

Please send this in an inconspicuous parcel marked as a gift, so it will slip unnoticed through customs here in Denmark!

Looks nice as far as limited edition games go. I especially like the dragon.

So I wasn't the only one calling it the "higher-gamma-non"?

I'll clarify: I'm glad they don't have any in-game codes in the limited editon of the game that we were talking about.

looks good, but why a cardboard sleeve for the disks ? they will get scratched

Assuming you don't use Impulse to download it the first time you'll only ever need the disks once on initial install and that's it.  So you'll never use them again basically unless you need to reinstall and don't have Impulse available for the download.

Which would put you in a minority I suspect.

I mean, not to be funny I have LOTS of limited and collectors editions from a hobby of MANY years of gaming, and although the additional books and maps and miniatures and the like are all well and nice, when I think how much use I get from them in comparison to say the game itself.. then OBVIOUSLY in game bonuses are of more DIRECT and RELEVANT benefit, it isn't hard to see how such in game bonuses are of greater use and appeal..

The vast majority of the additional stuff that goes into collectors and limited editions in a tangible way usually ends up perused once or put on a shelf somewhere, or more likely left in the box and largely forgotten about in short order..whereas the game itself is used constantly.

Now the point of rasing the issue was not to flame Stardock or Frogboy or any such thing but merely point out that for me and others I suspect the decision not to include some additional "in game" incentive to the limited edition actually cost them a limited edition sale over a standard version because there are quite a lot of us out here who look for somethign tangible from a CE or LE or SE version of a game that is directly pertinent to the in gameplay itself.

true , but the music CD is in there also, then again i could just rip them off as mp3s, and never use the disk again. 

Will a PDF of the Heirgemenon be made available for standard edition purchasers?  Pretty please?

The Limited Edition looks spiffy, but my interest level in the Heirgemenon is quite a bit higher than the rest of the "feelies", making it not such a wise buy for me.  You've said you're making more money off the Digital Standard Edition anyway, right?  

It's called "antiquing".

The thing about the map looking worn.

Edit: Oh, and good work, Frogboy, you just caused me to go and spend the extra $20 to upgrade to the LE box + Digital Download version with this video. Well played.

Assuming I can find the link, of course.
