How much do you want Skyrim, a statue of a dragon, a book and a DVD? Do you want that enough to splurge £130 on it?
If you read the above paragraph and thought, “yes, I would quite like those things… oh, yes, I have got a spare £130 and a desire to splurge it.” then good for you, have a look at the picture below. That’s the Skyrim Collector’s Edition, which comes with everything I’ve mentioned.
More likely that you thought “yes, I would quite like those things… OH MY GOD HOW MUCH!?” In which case, consider that the dragon is Alduin, the world eater (apparently) and is a whole twelve inches tall. Still not tempted?
It’s a lot of money to spend on a collector’s edition, although the extra stuff is all quite enticing.
Here’s the full list of extras:
- Alduin, the World Eater Statue. 12 inches of precision-modelled PVC dragon.
- The Art of Skyrim. Official art book with over 200 pages of sketches, models and other assorted artwork from the game.
- The Making of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim DVD. A DVD. About making the game.
The collector’s edition is set to be extremely limited and will retail for $149.99/€149.99/£129.99 on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
I have to admit, as pricey as this seems, I’m a little bit tempted…

I sloop want this, but most likely can’t afford £130 in the run up to Xmas. Damn.

I’m sure this will go down the same path as the GT signature edition and Killzone helghast, they stick a real high price and milk it for the hardcore pre orders, then give it a few weeks,no one goes near them then bam reduced reduced reduced! Well I’m hoping that anyways lol

Might get the standard edition. Never played Elder Scrolls so may pick that up first

i think i would rather spend my £130 on a plain old fashioned normal version of Skyrim, then with he change by 2 or 3 other games, rather than end up with a plastic dragon paper weight!!!!

Don’t worry folks, this will drop just like the Killzone 3 Helghast Edition. It started off at £110 and fell to £35 in HMV.

Don’t remind me! :( Still, at least it was one of the few collectors editions where I felt like I was getting my £100’s worth
