Actually quite impressed with both Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Driver: San Francisco! There was a risk that these would be cheap and shitty, but both are actually much higher quality than I was expecting! Not the best we've had this year, but better than a lot of the trashy so-called CE's which get shoveled out by the likes of EA in a lame attempt to cash-in on the collector's market
Resistance 3 this week, which will be another large brown box shoved to the back of my room with the Halo CE's. Warhammer: Space Marine doesn't excite me very much at all, but expecting it to be on par with the Starcraft II CE
The one I am most looking forward to is probably Batman: Arkham City! I have the CE on pre-order, but also three separate SteelBooks from various UK retailers. Blockbusters have a Penguin SteelBook; Tesco Entertainment have a Joker SteelBook; and ShopTo.net have a Two-Face SteelBook. Very surprised that the likes of GAME, GameStop, HMV, PLAY.com, and Amazon didn't get in on this, especially given how many exclusive editions there are available elsewhere in the world (Robin, Catwoman x2 etc) - Although GAME have a Robin Edition available, I believe it's not a SteelBook
Thanks for the tip about the Blocky and Tesco steelbooks, Gemini - didn't know about them at all ops:
21 Oct - Batman: Arkham City (ShopTo.net exclusive Two-Face SteelBook) - already payed for 04 Nov - Uncharted 3 (LE) - preordered from gamestation instore oblivion skyrim CE pre-ordering instore from gamestation tomorrow as both websites that sell this online are messed up. sonic generations CE pre-ordered
that's all my CEs done the rest of the games i want are just standard games that can be picked up on release date.
i am going to update as to what i will be getting this year and the list is HUGE
Skyrim CE Zelda Skyward Sword CE Sonic generations CE Uncharted 3 Explorer Edition Batman: Arkham City LE tin
the rest of the games i am buying are going to be standard games or just with extra content.
i really really really hate november!!
I'm beginning to hate October too, HUYI. All the good stuff kicks off that month and i completely forgot about Gears of War Epic Edition (sold out now) and Forza 4 CE on the 360.
i am surprised you didn't know about gears of war 3 epic edition, it was just recently shown on joystiq's blog with pictures, also a xbox 360 console bundle pack has been released too, it doesn't look too bad, i still favour the star wars xbox 360 console though.
I've got Dark Souls(PS3) and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword(Wii) limited editions preordered - last one is an early birthday gift from my girlfriend.

Oh yeah, I knew about it - I meant that with all the PS3 goodness coming I forgot to list the 360 stuff. I just plain couldn't afford to pre-order the Gears of War but seeing how Forza 3 is one of my favourite games this gen I certainly will be pre-ordering Forza 4.
