Reminding us that they make games other than Manhunt 2, Rockstar Games has sent over the first images of the the massive Grand Theft Auto IV Special Edition. In case you've forgotten what it was, between strangling puppies and pulling the wings off of birds, here's a run down of what you'll get:
The Grand Theft Auto IV Special Edition will be presented in a customized Grand Theft Auto metal safety deposit box. The box will contain:
• Grand Theft Auto IV on the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system or the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, both with special packaging
• The Grand Theft Auto IV Art Book, featuring never-before-seen production artwork from Grand Theft Auto IV
• Selected soundtrack CD from Grand Theft Auto IV, featuring new material from top artists, only available on this release
• An exclusive Rockstar keychain for the safety deposit box keys
• Completing the collection is a limited edition Rockstar duffel bag
All of the items have been created with the utmost attention to detail to create a unique Grand Theft Auto IV experience for any fan of the series. The Grand Theft Auto IV Special Edition is available for pre-orders today and will retail for $89.99 in North America.
The package certainly sounds sweet, and looks even sweeter. But $89.99 is a steep price point for stuff that might end up collecting dust under your bed. What say you, dear reader?

Seriously though, I wonder what the returns are on special editions and why it makes it worth it for companies to keep making more elaborate ones.
I will be preordering this in the near future, glad to see pictures though
this is also the first time I'll be getting GTA on a console(360) instead of waiting for the PC release, I hope the aiming controls are decent enough
I can see if you're buying the the 360 version, you might want to save the money to buy the additional content on the marketplace. But if you're a PS3 owner, you have no excuse. I mean, what are you saving that extra $20 for? GAMES? LOLOLOLAOZL~!!
These are "jokes," guys. Just "jokes."
Personally, the bag isn't doing much for me, but that safety deposit box looks mighty nice. The description makes it sound like it's just a keychain designed for safety deposit box keys, but if there's an actual safety deposit box I would be mighty tempted.
...then again, maybe not.
There is an actual safety deposit box -- the entire set comes in one!
i hate conundrums
I can't believe people are more impressed with the safety deposit box than the bag. Sure, the box is cool, but at least I could see the bag actually being useful.
The PRICE POINT doesn't seem too steep for all the extra swag, like Mr. Brutal said, only 20 dollars extra. A drop in the bucket.
:P
Beautiful Electric Mecca! Ciabola! My Life for you!
lol yeah I say we do it, photoshop contest FTW! (even if no prizes are involved...)
how about, the most useful thing you could use the safe deposit box or duffle bag for..
any takers?
Yes, how many wolves have to die?
it make me want a next gen system now, if you got it just for pre-ordering i'd be on it like fat people at a buffet
That said, I’m seriously considering picking this up. I own every PS2 iteration of GTA except for Vice City Stories — and that’s only because I haven’t yet beaten Liberty City Stories.
It's like a real life rickroll...
