The Collector's Edition is it really worth it?

             The Collector's Edition of Skyrim is it really worth 162.36 Dollars? It comes with the game of course, a making of DVD, a map which now I hear isn't Burlap, a concept art book hard back, and an Aluduin statue. Let's see so for 60 bucks it comes with the game and a map. We are paying an extra 100 dollars for a PVC statue, art book in full color, and a making of DVD? The book would seem to take a big chunk of it being between 40-60 dollars I'm sure. But the DVD shouldn't be that much as it only goes into the making of should it? The high grade PVC that the dragon is made out of I have no idea what the value of that could be, but what he sits on isn't nearly as good as the dragon. So do you think it is worth it to buy the collectors edition? Or will most of you be buying the standard edition Skyrim? Myself have already pre-ordered the CE.

    I will buy it just because I like TES that much, I am a fanboy. If I were only casually into the game.. I would not buy it.

    PCP!? I think that might be a tad bit illegal, but for the amount of PCP I am getting this deal was worth it!

    No, seriously though, it is made out of high grade PVC and the price of it is fair. What it really comes down to however, is what are ...  more

    I have never really liked CEs much. I usually find them to be just a cheap way for the publisher to make a few extra bucks by tossing in some worthless do-dad and saying, "hey, it's a collectors piece!" Skyrim is the first game I actually thought the CE w...  more

     I purchased some other things at the same time as I recall I paid around $140 USD for the game itself.  My copy will not be kept in pristine condition I guarantee you that.  If it is like my Oblivion game I will end up with a second copy.   Even with two...  more

    PCP as a material is cheap, but the moulding wouldnt be with a cost of 40K US dollars.  The main reason for the collectors edition being more expensive is so that in the future it will be wirth more, provided it is kept in pristine condition.  Still I wou...  more

    A friend of mine has priced the statue at $100.00 USD.  He bases this on comparison to other statues.  He came up with a value of $230.00 value for the package.  I have pre-ordered the collectors edition from Amazon.
