Ours finally arrived today but I was quite shocked with what I saw. First off, the packaging; I could see immediately that this was going to be tiny for a special edition.
That was an instant disappointment after seeing the glorified product shots. Kudos to the photographer though, your shot worked magic on us. Then I thought, "No, I'll give it a chance, lets see what we've got here" so I quickly get into the package. ...And I'm right; we have a normal PS3 case with all discs rammed inside and a flimsy artbook which has bad binding and page quality. I've flicked through twice and it already has spine wear and I'm very careful. It also comes with the OST and a Making of DVD which we'll check out later and hit up feedback on twitter.

The art inside is indeed very nice and vibrant, I'm just a bit saddened by the quality and size of it. Could've been better, I was hoping for better. 'Expect less, don't get disappointed'; I should've known better. I am by no means saying its a bad buy; quite the opposite, I'm just all baw about the art book because, well, I love collecting art.

We've had the US edition for months, already completed everything multiple times, all difficulties, earned the Platinum trophy, generally wiped the floor with it. We got it solely for the extra's so the game can be traded in, no hassle. We paid ~£34 for this edition which isn't bad for extra's, but here's hoping we get £20 back at least.
