Unfortunately the store was "all out" of the normal editions so I ended up having to buy the Special Edition. I had no idea what was in it and there was nothing on the outside of the box (and by box I mean the wrapper around the metal case), that told me what was in it. Apparently I was living in a bubble, but for those of you who are interested and perhaps are also living in a bubble, there was actually some pretty cool stuff in there in addition to the game.
A book on the art of GTA IV
A music CD
A Rockstar keychain
A duffle bag
And a locking metal case
I picked this one up. I seem to always pick up the special, collectors or limited editions. I don't know why, I just leave the stuff in the box and never use/look at them. My Halo 3 helmet is still in the box, The Bioshock and Assassins Creed figurines are still in the box.
I think to myself, I want to see the behind the scenes stuff or I want to see the art book, but I never do. I'm the industry's b**ch. Slap a LE label on it, and my money is yours.

Yeah i grabbed the SE too, i use my Safety box for stuff that has no use on this site.
I actually still have the duffle bag, art book, and keychain still in it, Im still trying to find out what to use it for. I dont know if i can even trust it, looks too easy to just force open. Ooo, maybe i can use it for my blank cds, people always be sneaking in and taking some blank cds.
I bought the LE since the game itself was individual to the extras. For example, Gears of War LE was thick and I didn't like how it looked with my game collection. I'm weird like that.
Anyway, I got my air gun and two daggers in the locker.
Nice pics Peench. I like how you took a shot of the double-stitch on the sack. Quality.
That's a shot of the year in Roman Numerals:
Of course, I had a hard time folding the bag up so I could get a good shot of it so it looks kinda lame!! haha... now that you mention it, it is double stitched. I didn't even notice that before. Cool
Oh oh oh... In the middle of watching someone else play, take the controller out of their hand and lock it in the box. The box is thick enough to block the signal from the Xbox 360 controller... But the PS3 and Wii controllers are fine.
