	Would you buy LE PTW? Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

I don't think I would unless there were many new features or good movies about the making of PTW. I already got burned in the Limited edition Civ3 fiasco. Man, that thing sucked!

I'd buy Sid Meier's undies, with or without PTW.

Simpleton,

Are you crazy? SM's drawers could be worth a mint sometime in the future.

Don't sell. Save them.

I'd buy the LE. I have every game with Sid's name on it, might as well get the nicer looking box.

I use the Civ3 LE tin to store M&Ms. It sanctifies them.

Limited Edition anything is just a gimmick to get more money. You eventually ending up wasting the money.

I don't ever buy limited edition boxes of anything. And especialy hearing how bad the Civ III LE box was, I'm surprised option 1 is in the lead.

LE/CE/D/GE/etc can be really good. The Baldur's Gate II limited edition was well worth ten extra dollars. Going back further, X-Wing and Tie Fighter collectors editions were very nice because of the extra missions. If Civ3 LE delivered what it promised, it would be more worth it.

Yes....perhaps I will take them off E-Bay and keep them stored safely away in the special chamber I build in my basement to protect them light, heat, and air. Perhaps my dreams of riches can come true after all...sometime in the not-so-distant future....

I also think this post and poll would have been moot had Civ3 LE lived up to it's billing.
In effect, you spend an extra $10 or $20 for a piece of tin and a movie you could have downloaded from the internet a few days after it came out.
No thanks.

I don't think they'd burn us again. If a PTW LE is going to suck, we'll know about it ahead of time now.

I really want to play MP but I don't think I will even buy the normal edition, much less the LE, until I get a good feed back from here at Apolyton.

Money is an object. It is just that there is a lot of crap out there right now. Even with its flaws, Civ3 looks pretty ok in comparison.

i'd buy the LE PTW if it came in another tin.. i got the LE when it came out and i was quite happy with it. all i wanted was the tin and game, i could care less for all the other stuff that was or was not in the first tin.

i'd vote in the poll but i dont like any of the options.

LOL.

I misread your second sentence for a sec. THought you were watering your pants. That and your obsession with Sid's underpants had me wondering for a sec.

Now that thats all water under the belt line, I object to this poll having no banana option.

You knew someone would post about this sooner or later

I need nothing more than the game, a simple c-board box to display on my bookshelf (more boxes on that than there are books), and a big, fat manual.

Therefore, I'm not paying any extra to have a tin box, or any other junk outside the bounds of being necessary part of the game. I mean no tech-tree posters, no Firaxis notepads, no "Developer Diaries", no "Making-of" CDs or Videos.


Regular edition for me thank you. As I said, all I need is the game, manual and simple cardboard box.

I throw the boxes away.

All I need is a manual, a jewel case for the CD (not those stupid envelopes you get sometimes), and maybe a trinket, if no trinket, no big deal.

Have you guys also noticed how much wasted space is in those boxes? It's like 50% air. These companies seem to think that the bigger their box is the more people will pay for it.

I have seen some Game boxes shrink down to a 5in 1/4 X 1in 1/4 X 7in 1/2 (13.34cm X 3.18cm X 19.1cm) Messurements. I dont think that the game companies think that bigger is better. Some companies are possibly reducing there paper usage on making boxies.
