    Not buying, but seriously! How the hell are these press kits a thing that only the press gets but aren't sold as special editions?!

    No clue but these are pretty cool these are the only one's I've had and there's some cool bits that set them aside. Would rather this with a special disk then half the special editions. :p

    For real! Even from stuff like this you can see that people are completely willing to pay money for these press editions!

    If anything I would think the press edition would be a bare bones disc, like a review disc, and that these press editions would be special editions for sale.

    Do these contain the actual game, or is it more press materials on the disc?

    These ones do not sadly. Some do contain a promo version but in the case of these they only come with assets on the disk like psd's/concept art/videos/etc and letters to the press.

    I've included a few screenshots of the sort of stuff you might find on disk below. (Without spoiling to much forr the buyer! ;))

    Because they're press kits intended to grab a reviewer's attention. In a pile of discs often without covers, you're going to notice a biscuit tin. It's a strategy that has been used for decades in the music industry.

    If they were to release the item as a limited edition, it would be just another retail item on your desk for a reviewer, albeit slightly cooler. Nowadays, there's the added benefit that you can sell it for a crazy price ;) lol

    Bump, Need this lot gone so willing to accept offers. Also will now include postage within the EU at no cost to the buyer!

    The Uncharted kit is still selling for over £250 on ebay so grab a bargain today :D

    Will also do a BIN for everything above for £230 saving you cash. :)
