$150 BioShock Infinite 'Songbird' edition revealed

yawn

My only complaint is that the figure is only 9.5 inches. I might have to go for that ultimate edition. // I'd heard that there was talk of the multiplayer getting canned but I didn't realise it actually had. A proud day for single-player campaigns everywhere.

I wish i had a job! :(

year ago ...  i would buy this title eyes closed ... now ... I'll read the reviews first then decide

the day am rich am getting all this rediculars special edition/bundle game boxes with statue and action figures

PS i really hate being poor

It look nice but I've hoped for a bigger artbook given the attention given to the visual aspect of the game... I'm not saying something like Blizzard's Artbook or The Witcher 2 Artbook, but something like Bioshock 2 and/or Crysis 2 would have been much more appreciated...

Too little too late for this gamer Irrational. And GS needs to get their facts straight - Infinite was first sched to launch Feb of THIS yr. Then was delayed to Aug., and THEN to this Oct. you referenced. Regardless, When they bumped it pretty last minute a third time to next yr, that was more than enough delays for me to loose most of my interest and excitement in the game. But I wasnt that into it in the first place as I personally was really hoping Levine would do something totally new, move on from Bioshock. The guy's got some serious talent but after refusing to help 2k marin w/ BS2, even after multiple requests, acting like "I'm the only 1 who can make a good Bioshock game. Its my baby!" Bullsh*t, what does he have up his sleave instead - another BS game. And looking at how rocky the dev's been on this new one, all I can say in the end is karma dude.

It's looks very nice, i like it.  Of course, i'll pre-order it. 

I will wait to buy it for $40 like the $150 Skyrim bundles were. If people didn't buy up all the Skyrim ones I feel there will be plenty of Bioshock ones down the road. Will still be getting the game right away, but can buy the rest of the stuff for cheap later.

I display my stuff which reminds me I need another shelf.

Do people really put their game collectables on display were others can see them or are they left to gather dust hidden away in a bedroom, etc....? Money well spent......

$150, Jesus Christ.. The game disc better be made out of gold.

Even though I like the art book (I wonder how many pages it will contain), this is a tad bit too expensive for my iron-thin blood! T-T

I dread to think of this, but given everything that has happened recently, the game may not end up meeting players' high expectations.

P.S. Can't limited editions of these games come bundled with different figurines?

I came...

The statue looks delightful, but I've already run out of space to put stuff.

for 150 bucks it better come with that damn statue

good for whoever likes all that junk. i'm just gonna get the game, maybe the standard version will have an artbook too since that was the case with bioshock 2 (in europe anway). and for the other 90 euros i'm gonna get 2 other games ;)

 Deadly_Nemesis have you been playing game for like a week? Halo pretty much started the trend with Halo 3, but even before that and since 150 dollar edition is very common. Skyrim, Gears 3, Reach, Witcher 2, Borderlands 2 to name a few. So I dont know where this surprise is coming from.

That statue looks really cool. Too bad i can't afford the ultimate edition at this time.

150!!! O.O ARE THEY MOTHER F*CKING HIGH?!

I love this game and all but...no..

Does the art book come with the 80 dollar version though?

I want that statue, but I will not pay that price.

Oh well.

Everybody should buy this edition with the statue. I'm sure a Chinese sweatshop worker worked very hard on that thing for $2 a day. The least we can do to show that worker our support is to give Irrational Games the $150, I'm sure it'll find its way to that worker in China.

There's a sucker born every minute.

Im trying to decided if this will be like bioshock, which is now ridiculous hard to get with the big daddy statue and is really expensive, or bishock 2 where you can probably get the limited edition for under 40 bucks.

I want that stature, is that so wrong?

I'll take the GOTY/Complete edition, would you kindly?

I just want the art book.

This statue is not some mass produced product that you normally get in limited editions (which one can argue are hardly limited). This is handcrafted and using high quality materials, it easily justifies the price. 

$80

$150

Man, why do these companies price these single games so high? The Statue is cool, but I have too many of those at this point. I'm out of the C.E. Collecting business until I move into a mansion.

by then it will be 200 bucks

Super disappointed that they pushed the release of this game into 2013 but I'm still ecstatic for it!

I'll just go with the standard game.....the collectibles are nice but....I'll pass, I just want the game.

I wouldn't pay $150 for that, but the Premium Edition sounds pretty good. Also, the statue is pretty big. If it's the actual size compared to the game boxes. The wing span alone is close to 2 feet long I would think. The height has to me more then a foot high. With all the details added, I can see it costing about $60-$70. I just wouldn't waste my money on something like that. If you are a collector and have the self space, then be my guest. I'll pass though.

ok, I'm just wondering what one does with a statue as fugly as that? You jyst know it's going to end up in the garbage after a few years because nobody is going to want it once you have realized you got screwed buying it.

That ultimate edition is way too much for just one statue... 

That's too much to pay for something that's going to sit on my shelf and collect dust. I'm digging the Premium edition, though.

$70 extra for a small statue, when the game itself costs $60? Not sure if I get the point.
