I would say even though I am a PS3 fan, that it looks better on Xbox.. but then I think that's probably because Xbox has taken over Tomb Raider, where ages ago it used to be Playstation.

Preorder now and get the code to participate, but only if I want to buy the game twice (on 2 systems) and sell one, just to get the collectors edition that I should be allowed to get anyway; or, not preorder at all and send in for a code, wait longer to participate in the contest, and get no preorder bonuses (unless I win the contest, which is unlikely). So either way I get screwed. Is that my reward for legally purchasing every TR game on PC since the first one came out? Wow. =( I guess karma is a lie.<br /><br />I wish SE and CD understood what a horrible mistake they are making with this decision.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203486658912585901.post-50959022722809086762012-12-20T20:01:09.858-05:002012-12-20T20:01:09.858-05:00Yes, that's right, unfortunately. :( I know a ...Yes, that's right, unfortunately. :( I know a few people who are ordering the collector's edition from the U.K. It's expensive enough without the overseas shipping, but I guess hardcore collectors will do what they've gotta do. I have both PC and Xbox so decided to get the Xbox collector's edition and the Steam PC version. I'll be saving up for a while. ;) Another alternative would be to buy the PC download, buy the Xbox or PS3 collector's edition and then sell just the game.

Effectively that would mean that either I somehow order the European version (I might be able to get a friend to, but that would be a pain), or I buy it digitally and not get the collectors edition bonuses that come with the PS3 and XBOX 360 versions? Is that right? And of course, I hate digital copies, because they are usually DRM managed (like through Steam - but I suppose lots of physical copies are too). <br /><br />I'm so unhappy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203486658912585901.post-78647906324619272702012-12-20T18:50:12.014-05:002012-12-20T18:50:12.014-05:00Anonymous (Dec 20), where are you located?

The Steam (download) pre-order page is already up, but I'm not sure which other retailers will have the download. I'm guessing Games for Windows Live, but possibly others as well. If you're in Europe or elsewhere, I guess sit tight. They're bound to announce more details before too long. :)Stellalunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03782486742546192464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203486658912585901.post-20788337772648876392012-12-20T10:44:39.412-05:002012-12-20T10:44:39.412-05:00I'm so confused.

Only the first round of bonuses for the three participating retailers – Amazon, Best Buy and GameStop – have been revealed so far, and they range from a Rhianna Pratchett penned comic book to Geoff Keighley’s The Final Hours of Tomb Raider documentary. The second wave of bonuses will be announced on December 18th, and the final batch of goodies will be unveiled in January.<br /><br />Who’s got the best offer right now? Check out the complete details on Tomb Raider’s first batch of pre-order exclusives below."<br /><br />So maybe best to wait if you're wanting one of those exclusives.Daniellehttp://danielle-masek.daportfolio.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203486658912585901.post-74877973194317210712012-11-22T17:12:11.256-05:002012-11-22T17:12:11.256-05:00Also wanted to add, I found you can buy the comic ...Also wanted to add, I found you can buy the comic that's in the Best Buy edition separate (not until May) but I have not seen the art book anywhere.

I find 3D tech a little awkward, but a big part is that I already wear glasses, so glasses on top of glasses makes it harder to function. Maybe someday the technology will advance to the point where it's feasible for people with bad eyes like me to get prescription glasses to go with their 3D rig. Till then, I'll be living in flatland. ;)Stellalunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15926234026707123091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203486658912585901.post-73152152629295289462012-11-14T09:42:04.817-05:002012-11-14T09:42:04.817-05:00@XaniloM: Just talked to Meagan from Crystal and s...@XaniloM: Just talked to Meagan from Crystal and she says that image is going to remain exclusive for a while.
