CivIII limited edition, or just vanilla?

[jdd2007]

Standard edition. The extra money for LE isn't worth a cookie tin

i remeber someone saying that no one on apolyton would get the standard edition...take a look at the poll...

I plan to wait some weeks before (eventually) buy Civ III because I am not an idiot, thanks for asking .

BTW, I never mean that someone buying the game pre-ordering it in advance is an idiot: it's only the (just kidding?) tone of Anunikoba's poll that force this kind on naming on people.

Just let me tell that in this forum I see for the first time the power of Marketing working full steam over the mind of so many people. Amazing!

He only used the word idiot to describe people who are never going to buy the game, just because you want to play it safe and wait a little bit doesn't necessarily put you into this category.

Thanks Steve, but is not that I'm offended from Anunikoba (you can see my smile inside the post).

Just wondering why sometime people seems a bit carried away from reality when speaking about Civ III.

Probaly is the shock I still feel after the monday Airplane disaster crash at Linate airport (City airport of Milano - Italy), considering I was at that airport just a week ago.
A hundred and 18 died, surely less that in the bloody 11th september in USA, but still an accident worth some tears.

I'm truly sorry to hear that, that is definately a tragedy worth some tears. I think people just like to use Civ as their release from reality, I know I do (pathetic huh?). While I believe being optimisitic is a good thing not everything is going to go perfect with the game, that's a given. There is nothing wrong with wanting to wait and see how it turns out before buying the game, if the game really does end up sucking you just saved $50. On the other hand if you want to rush out and play it the first day it's released, more power to you, that's capitalism baby.

At first, I didn't think I'd be getting the LE, but then I realized that I'm an addict and have no control over my purchases. LE it is.

[Boris Godunov]

I've already ordered the LE, so that's that. I like cookie tins.

[Christantine The Great]

LE edition because I wanted the tin. Sometimes things get valuable...

[joseph1944]

I have pre-order both version. A Hundred and Ten bucks, no big deal.

Why on earth would you need both?

[Gully Foyle]

He might get both to sell the LE on eBay after it's no longer available. Look at something like Axis & Allies: Iron Blitz... no longer available and selling for $100 a shot on eBay. People will pay for this kind of stuff.

hmm, I never thought of a computer game as an investment.. that could actually be a good way to go. The only bad part is I would be too tempted to open it for the fold-out tech tree and extra scenario.

just buy TWO then...

[Grim Legacy]

I can't vote with a clean conscience...

I need a "I will buy LE because I'm covered in a mildly dooming blanket of Civ-craze for way too long already -but I realize it is just wasting money, I truly do!" option.

[Cookie Monster]

If the LE is indeed only going to be 10 bucks more than the regular edition and LE is available at the store I buy from then I'll get the LE. If not my highest priority is to get the game in any form. I'll try to get LE later provided that word on the street is favourable.

Long live the only game that matters!!!

[Dessloch]

what will be extra in LE??? only scenarios annd **** like that?
