Just picked up the standard God of War III. Not gonna bust into it until I am done with 2 but sad to find out from Bob that the Ultimate Edition's Pandora's Box it is made of plastic. 
Add the fact that the music is all digital download (which I am sure is in the torrent world) and it comes to the fact I'd be buying a plastic chest and artbook for 40 bucks. Kind of a ripoff. Yes, I realize there is an exclusive skin for Kratos, but you can only use it when you have beaten the game. Kinda lame. Shoulda' known there was a reason I had difficulty tracking down an unboxing video until last night.
Don't get me wrong, I am all for mega-whore editions, Assassin's Creed II, Halo 3 and Bioshock 2 I felt all warranted the price tags. I just think some companies take advantage of their fanbase too much. GOW III: UE with all the digital stuff shouldn't cost more than 80 bucks. I dunno, that's my opinion, what do you think?

I hear ya! I think that's why I'm so picky about which ones I buy.

Diners Drive-ins, dives is a good show. I often get hungry after watching it.
