Collector or Standard for PS3

[Richzilla]

I pretty much had talked myself into the pre order on the Collector Edition for the PS3 however.........

I now notice that the standard is 10 dollars less with a 10 dollar credit on amazon.

There is no 10 dollar credit on the collector edition.

Is there enough there to warrant a 20 dollar price gap ??

I know there are 5 extra courses......so I would be paying 4 bucks each for them.

What is everyone else doing ??

Re: Collector or Standard for PS3

A $20 difference makes it tough. Remember 2 of those are fantasy courses which for me are a complete waste and I will never use so it would only be 3 extra courses and with the standard addition you get an extra course if you preorder, not sure if you get that bonus course with a pre-order of the collector's edition. If you don't then you're paying $20 for 2 extra courses and if you do then $20 for 3 courses isn't much of a deal either.

I would say definately not if you don't like fantasy courses and a definate maybe if you do. At this point we don't know how much DLC courses will cost. They might be $5 a course or as much as $10 a course.

Re: Collector or Standard for PS3

I'm with you the fantasy courses are worthless to me.

I'm leaning towards the standard edition at this point.

Re: Collector or Standard for PS3

I decided to pass on the Collector's Edition as soon as I saw that two of the additional courses were fantasy courses, which are of no interest to me. I'm not a fan of Wolf Creek either, so that pretty much cinched it for me. I'm hoping they'll offer some attractive bundles like they did with Tiger 11. I bought 4 different bundles when they hit the market

I went with the standard edition.

99 cent release day delivery from amazon with 10 dollar credit.

Re: Collector or Standard for PS3

Just cancelled my preorder for the Collector's edition and just ordered the standard version for the PS3.

Save $10,
Get $10 towards another game,
Free release day delivery.

I will just use the extra money to purchase the courses that I want as I have NO interest in fantasy courses.

What did they charge for the bundles last year and could you pick and choose what courses you wanted in a bundle?

Not for nothin' but the artwork for the standard cover is better IMO as well...

Re: Collector or Standard for PS3

Amazon is now giving a $25 credit for the standard version. All people who already pre-ordered for the $10 credit will get the $25 now. I think this makes the decision a no-brainer that standard version on Amazon is the way to go.

Re: Collector or Standard for PS3

I just went with the Collector's Edition to get the 5 extra courses. I got it from Gamestop, and it was well worth it for me. I haven't played the fantasy courses since the Gamecube days, so I'm actually kinda looking forward to playing them on the PS3. I can see where some people may not want the extra courses, but I'm all for them. It was only an extra $10 for me, and I think I can handle that.

Yep this is the route I'm going. Think about this..........the 5 extra courses is technically going to cost an extra $35 for the collectors edition.

Easier decision in UK - both £39.99 = $60 via Game.co.uk with triple reward points and quidco - worth around £3.50 / $5 off.

No $25 rebates / coupons here

Yep.
plus you are actually getting 6 courses.
Gstop gives Turnberry as a preorder bonus.

6 courses for an extra 10 bucks!

Thats just the price of a daily cup of coffee for a caffeine addict
