Good price for the game

Stupid question, but what is 'epic' about it? It mentions a Gears 3 beta code, is that it?

Basically. Whereas most games give you a beta code free with a product, Epic games feel like they can get away with charging you extra for it.

It is early beta access remember and you get some exclusive gow3 unlocks.
Also the epic edition includes..

In addition to access to the beta, the Epic Edition gives players bonus in-game Bulletstorm content when playing online, including 25,000 experience points, visual upgrades for their iconic leash, deadly Peace Maker Carbine, boots and armor.

Except they actualy dont think that, becuase it cost ?40 in th shops just like any other game when it came out.

Well who is it that dictates to GAME then that the epic edition should cost a fiver more? That being said, my initial reaction was when I assumed the epic edition only had the beta code. If they have exclusive content then by all means charge slightly more.

In my opinion however, GAME, and most likely other high street retailers will quite often ignore "the word" so to speak and go about with their own thing. Cockends tried to charge more for the signature edition of DA2 at launch, despite the fact that it was, for a limited time, MEANT to be the same price as the normal edition.

But look at me, trying to argue a point with someone who thinks Crystal Skull is the second best Indy film. I may as well piss into the wind, trying to avoid splashback - I'd have a better chance of managing that then most likely getting my point across!

True

Though i do actualy get where you are comming from, but its up to Game how much they sell it for, not the developer.

The RRP for most games is actually ?49.99 (including bulletstorm) its just that shops dont use those prices. The Epic Edition has just been the same price as every other game wherever I have seen it. In fact is there even a normal edition of the game? I presume there is but Ive never actualy seen one in the shops.
