The best video game to date over any platform so far, deserves an epic collectors edition. From Canada and never heard of the Post Pandemic edition. Amazing bundle. Got the survival edition and that book inside is a beautifully illustrated book. For Sony's amazing exclusives, I try to always get the collectors edition. 300 bucks on Ebay for the PPE. Wow. Way to go ND on this epic Title we will always cherish. Can't wait to see your work on PS4.
J Davis i like the art book tho it's silly not to have it in post pandemic...i love my survival edition and im happy with it. Maybe one day ill get a statue for a steal.
I usually never buy games at launch, let alone preorder. But The Last Of Us is a rare game that I actually preordered the Survival Edition. Now that i have it and beaten the game twice, I couldn't be happier that I preordered so early.
single PVC statues/figures costs around 8000 JPY, which would be around 80 USD there are two characters so it's 80x2 equals 160 USD. It depends on the material. This is what I think.
It's a special collectors edition thats why it costs around $300,- not just for the goodies inside, but since there were very few made it's a rare collectors item for gamers
Best game released in years, hands down. However, I honestly think i'd like the art book more, as I loved the unlockable art that as in the game, there is some really interesting stuff here believe it or not.
I have both editions of the game. My Post-Pandemic edition is signed by the lead game designer (game & statue) and there's a few pictures of him and I ( GameStop Manager took pics, the Lead Game Designer's Wife took pics, and I also have some of my own) Oh and by the way -- That piece of "Cardboard" that you tossed away has and is the "Back-Ground" for the characters Statue!!! its NOT extra garbage
Neither are sold out, the gamestop in the town over from me still has 3 or 4 of each on a shelf behind the counter. And I doubt there being held for anyone or just the boxes for decoration.
Some people like rare memorabilia of the games they like. I have been waiting since the first teaser for this game to be released, It even made me buy a Playstation 3. So just because you think it's a waste of money, Doesn't mean it is to others.
Got the Ellie edition at a regular price and I am more than happy with it as I got the same content that was in the survival edition only that the comic and artbook was smaller in scale. But in addition I got this sweet survival canvas wrap + a cool controller skin
I was aiming to get a copy of the Survival Edition but was not able to get it, and settled with a pre-ordered Steelbook Edition (R3). Considering that I got the sights and sounds DLC pack with it, I think I got a pretty good deal even if I didn't get the artbook.
naughty dog is just a company i got respect for,cause they make a game with love and with a story, rockstar is also a company like that. they both seem to think about the gamer and not about money and selling numbers
yes but i think its all pre-owned because i went into my game shop and NUN of the games had a cover over it to show it was new so they are all naked so that means there pre-owned i prefer to buy a brand NEW copy but its too late
USA: roughly 20 million PS3 users, They got two cool limited editions, one of which with a big ass statue. Europe: roughly 30 million PS3s installed. One crappy pseudo collector edition. Exists in two versions (Joel or Ellie). No statue or any goodie whatsoever other than a tiny artbook wrapped into some sort of pencil case. Awesome. Not to mention the Euro conversion. If I buy my next gen console abroad (US), with very expensive transport, taxes and customs fees, I'm still saving money...
I definitely started to shy away from special editions simply because I don't really have space to put all the extra stuff that comes with a special edition but damn do I wish that I had that metal case for the game that is really nice.
Would have bought the Post-Pandemic Edition but I didn't have a job at the time so didn't have enough money, though the Survival Edition was definitely worth it.
It is extremely good, but I don't like that I get stressed out when I play it. At some points, they ask you to do WAY TOO MUCH and you have nearly no supplies.
I specificly preordered a Survival Edition of The Last of Us in February at Gamestop and when I went to pick it up, they said they only had a regular edition for me and they didnt have any survival editions... a part of me died.
Not really I've seen this in the walking dead game, and heavy rain which to me has the best narrative even thought there not really comparable games. But it terms of controls and psychics there's a lot they could've worked on. Rockstar has really done well with physics and the different feels of things.
I think it's a bit over priced o.0 for a collectors item. I have the post-pandemic edition and retail price it was $175 plus tax and that was already expensive enough. The statue is worth it though, but not for $300
for $300 you can get a current gen console and for only $100 more you could just get a ps4 if you want the memorabilia that bad Im sure you can find it on eBay or amazon by itself for a lot cheaper if you chose to over pay from gimmicks that's on you.
yeah, all gaming companies need something fresh for "Special Editions", statues are not worth it. If it was Joel's backpack, or some clothing item then i would reconsider it, if i had the money.
yup i gotta agree with you there was alot of effort put into that game and i think its the best zombie game out there i cant play it cuz i dont have a ps3 but im watching Pewdiepie play it and its a really good game and i really wanna buy this statue off of amazon or something
If you were ready to fork over the dough when they announced the package it wasn't 200 dollars for a statue. The fact that you waited and now want to buy the extended content (ie the statue) is why you're paying 200 dollars more. This happen with every triple A title now days. The fact you have top comment is actually kind of a mind blow to me. I've seen rare copies of other special editions of other games go for twice as much.
Box in a Box is still okay, after all we are talking collector items here. Worse to me is the more modern trend to sell totally overpriced collector boxes WITHOUT a game in it as happened with the one for WOLFENSTEIN THE NEW ORDER and for XCOM 2
It should be like a trilogy or something, but I don't want them to force it. Would I love another Last of Us? Yes. But I don't want it to be ruined with unnecessary sequels.
Just get the joel or ellie editions i got joel for £75 and got dlc ,artbook, comic, poster, multiplayer boosts, soundtrack so gou get more for less monies
Hey I bought the post pandemic edition with the statue and I bought the art book and the limited edition strategy guide separated on amazon hahah I have both survival and post pandemic edition lol
It's a better story than 99% of movies on the market.
More like 100%.

HOW DARE YOU JUST THROW THE BOXES AROUND!! I'VE BEEN DYING TRYING TO FIND THOSE AND YOU JUST THROW THEM LIKE THEY'RE NOTHING!!! YOU DON'T DESERVE!!!

I'm happy to have all editions of this masterpiece. Post-Pandemic, Survival, Joel Edition, and Ellie Collector's Edition.
I so hope there's something like this for tlou part 2, I'll be getting the biggest edition there is when I pre order
JT DAVIS same
J Davis both xD
J Davis i like the art book tho it's silly not to have it in post pandemic...i love my survival edition and im happy with it. Maybe one day ill get a statue for a steal.
J Davis same here ill get the baddest edition no matter what price
When are preorders going live for the last of us 2?
That statue looks pretty damn awesome. Will definitely try get my hand on that if the price drops at all.

Best game maybe even the game of the year never seen an xbox exclusive get this much positive feed back
I just got a game in a plain blu-ray box and was more than happy with that. It's what's on the disc that counts.
Neither are sold out, the gamestop in the town over from me still has 3 or 4 of each on a shelf behind the counter. And I doubt there being held for anyone or just the boxes for decoration.
The art book was amazing, really high quality.
Some people like rare memorabilia of the games they like. I have been waiting since the first teaser for this game to be released, It even made me buy a Playstation 3. So just because you think it's a waste of money, Doesn't mean it is to others.

So weird to find this video when I was literally watching greg talk about the sequel
Got the Survival Edition the day it came out, and I don't regret it.
You probably know this by now but at 2:48 That cardboard was a cool background for the statue...
I was aiming to get a copy of the Survival Edition but was not able to get it, and settled with a pre-ordered Steelbook Edition (R3). Considering that I got the sights and sounds DLC pack with it, I think I got a pretty good deal even if I didn't get the artbook.
you know its a good game when you start missing the characters
This has got to be the best game of this generation by far
Its $300 now on amazon.. I believe it wad cheaper before it came out.. like $200 (call of duty prestiage price)
Ellie IS beautiful but the people who say "She's just fucking 14!" Is coming
They aren't here
Still waiting
I disappoint.
lol
Galaxy Armada well if you’re saying it sexually then it is wrong. But if you just like her then thts okay
Look at Ellie's face on the statue. Wow. Good job guys.
Sad that when games all go digital, things like these awesome editions will be a thing of the past :-(
Narrative wise its a massive game changer. its like a darker better version of the road and I still cant believe it came from a game.
naughty dog is just a company i got respect for,cause they make a game with love and with a story, rockstar is also a company like that. they both seem to think about the gamer and not about money and selling numbers
Hey where is the cardboard background Colin I have my statue with it LOOKS AWESOME!!!!
The game is fantastic, but i don't think I missed out on the special editions.
The statue is worth 150 dollars, so sell it on ebay and make a profit. The pack is worth 140 or 60.
yes but i think its all pre-owned because i went into my game shop and NUN of the games had a cover over it to show it was new so they are all naked so that means there pre-owned i prefer to buy a brand NEW copy but its too late
That cardboard is a nice background for the statue. I almost threw it out thinking it was useless piece of cardboard
agreed I would've understood if you had an exclusive Last of us PS3 that came with it.
I don't agree its a master piece because it isn't really a game changer, but its still a good game with an interesting take on zombies.

Would have bought the Post-Pandemic Edition but I didn't have a job at the time so didn't have enough money, though the Survival Edition was definitely worth it.
I know there both sold out but what are the retail prices for these and the post pandemic doesnt come with and art book?
Glad I got survival which I feel is better with the artbook. A good $80 well spent
got the normal edition preordered with extra stuff and picked it up so awesome
Horrible camera work absolutely horrible
user1 😄😄😄😄👍
Ones a first person shooter and the others a third person survival horror game. They're completely different. I personally like both to death.
only got the survivor edition.
would like to get the figure though.
I didn't get any stickers in mine? Didn't know they came with 'em.
It wash't $300 originally. People are just selling it for that much on eBay since there are none left
The Max Payne 3 Special Edition is really similar to the post pandemic even the box
It is extremely good, but I don't like that I get stressed out when I play it. At some points, they ask you to do WAY TOO MUCH and you have nearly no supplies.
I bought the post pandemic edition and the statue looks 1000 times better then the uncharted 3 statue
I specificly preordered a Survival Edition of The Last of Us in February at Gamestop and when I went to pick it up, they said they only had a regular edition for me and they didnt have any survival editions... a part of me died.
Thanks for the support
in australia we have joel an ellie edition. it comes with everything in the survival edition.
How did you come up with that comparison? They're both great games.
Not really I've seen this in the walking dead game, and heavy rain which to me has the best narrative even thought there not really comparable games. But it terms of controls and psychics there's a lot they could've worked on. Rockstar has really done well with physics and the different feels of things.
They are probably making another last of us because if you play naughty dog games they do it in 3s like uncharted and stuff
LOL 2:51 he didn't throw just a piece of cardboard away, its the backdrop for the statue xD
I think it's a bit over priced o.0 for a collectors item. I have the post-pandemic edition and retail price it was $175 plus tax and that was already expensive enough. The statue is worth it though, but not for $300
for $300 you can get a current gen console and for only $100 more you could just get a ps4 if you want the memorabilia that bad Im sure you can find it on eBay or amazon by itself for a lot cheaper if you chose to over pay from gimmicks that's on you.
I would have gotten some special edition had i known how good this game was going to be.
yeah, all gaming companies need something fresh for "Special Editions", statues are not worth it. If it was Joel's backpack, or some clothing item then i would reconsider it, if i had the money.
do you just want the artbook? cause you can buy it off amazon for like $25 bucks and the comic is gonna come out in a trade paperback in Nov
No naughty dog stickers in ps4 version :(
Yeah that seemed very odd...They were probably just trying to save on paper i guess lol no idea
john farley I got none in the ps3 editon ):
sun pliy
Did you buy it used?
john farley no brand new from walmart a shame since i loved the game so much
Ian aronoff haha look at all these sad faces for stickers.
you can probably get it online
I do agree, but i loled at that random comparison. Nothing about those games are the same.
wow i'd love the statue of Joel and Ellie, but I just don't have the money to blow on it.Amazing game though, Awesome characters
yup i gotta agree with you there was alot of effort put into that game and i think its the best zombie game out there i cant play it cuz i dont have a ps3 but im watching Pewdiepie play it and its a really good game and i really wanna buy this statue off of amazon or something
can you get the comic book any other way?
why didn't they sell these in the uk!
Wow the statue is really a good one looking
Stickers aren't in the retail version :(
I wish the special edition of games were like the GoW one, it was $80 for the game and a statue....
300 dollars for a statue of Joel and Ellie... Totally worth it
what about the ellie and joel edition?
I got the Survival edition when the game came out.
If you were ready to fork over the dough when they announced the package it wasn't 200 dollars for a statue. The fact that you waited and now want to buy the extended content (ie the statue) is why you're paying 200 dollars more. This happen with every triple A title now days. The fact you have top comment is actually kind of a mind blow to me. I've seen rare copies of other special editions of other games go for twice as much.
The statue is so cool
i would like more the art book instead of the comic in the "post pandemic edition", and the figure is very cool :)
Man it really sucks i just got back from deployment and i wasnt able to preorder the last of us overseas
So you don't get the art book in post pandemic edition???
Thats a really big box . How much is that for ?
Box in a Box is still okay, after all we are talking collector items here. Worse to me is the more modern trend to sell totally overpriced collector boxes WITHOUT a game in it as happened with the one for WOLFENSTEIN THE NEW ORDER and for XCOM 2
Great video Colin! good job :)
It should be like a trilogy or something, but I don't want them to force it. Would I love another Last of Us? Yes. But I don't want it to be ruined with unnecessary sequels.
Maybe you don't like these types of games, but believe me this game is great.....
Just get the joel or ellie editions i got joel for £75 and got dlc ,artbook, comic, poster, multiplayer boosts, soundtrack so gou get more for less monies
So what if someone wants to buy a statue of Joel and Ellie let them
Crazy right.
I didn't even know there was a special edition I would have gotten one
its like saying: rap is better than rock. its choise of the taste.
Bro. People are selling it on ebay for $300 because they don't sell them in stores anymore
Hey I bought the post pandemic edition with the statue and I bought the art book and the limited edition strategy guide separated on amazon hahah I have both survival and post pandemic edition lol
Of course it is.
What do people do with these statues?
is it worth the money?
Better to buy the smaller one first then buy the Statue itself
I always wonder who ends up keeping this stuff
