what's up Internet Kevin here on TLD where we've been getting ready for all the crazy holiday releases coming up in the next few weeks we got a lot of big titles coming out including stuff like Assassin's Creed 4 Call of Duty ghosts and battlefield 4 but today we've already got the release of Batman Arkham origins and we picked up the collector's edition so we can bring you guys an unboxing right now so here it is the collector's edition of Arkham origins now the box itself is actually pretty big and the cover features the usual design of showing the game's title off on the front little bat symbols on the side and on the back we have the standard advertising and game info after cutting some tape and removing the cover the boxes actual design is pretty simple with the sides looking the same as they did on the cover and once again just having the name of the game on the front and back now anyone who's been watching my unboxings for long enough will know that my biggest pet peeve is lots and lots of loose pieces of paper and opening up this box this is exactly the first thing that greets you first we get some blueprints for the batwing a map of Arkham City that glows in the dark and a wanted poster for everyone's favorite bat next up we get a little envelope that contains you guessed it more paper this time a contract explaining black masks deals for all the assassins to kill Batman and a collection of dossiers on each and every one of them these are actually kind of cool as far as the whole pieces of paper thing goes and it's nice because you actually have something to put them away in rather than just stacking them up in random places and trying to find storage for them now putting those all aside next up we get a pair of DVD cases we get the batman arkham origins game itself and a DVD of the documentary and necessary evil which takes an in-depth look at villains and comic books now inside the game case we have both discs for the 360 version of arkham origins and both of the collector edition bonus dlc items the Deathstroke challenge maps and first appearance batman skin the last thing we find in the top portion of the box is the game's art book an 80 page hardcover design featuring concept art for characters and locations with commentary from various members of the design team and inside of it we also get our last few scraps of paper in this collector's edition a photo of Bruce Wayne's family and a stencil for the anarchy symbol now last and probably least you get a pair of teeny tiny evidence bags containing a tooth and a poker chip now I'm pretty sure the tooth belongs to Killer Croc I honestly have no idea what the poker is about just yet if you know let us know in the comments or I'll just find out while I'm playing the game now we cleared out all the stuff on the top we can drag out this giant styrofoam block cut right through the middle of it remove some plastic and reveal the centerpiece of most collector's editions the statue this one's rather large and depicts the Joker behind a desk surrounded by televisions that once you add batteries produce LED lights that are supposed to depict all the different assassins from the game the statue itself is actually pretty awesome the LEDs are a bit underwhelming but the details of the desk papers and even the fruitcake and beheaded teddy bear are well done it's a bit light and some of the materials feel cheap to the touch but it's a statue meant for looks which is something that it does well now does all of this justify a hundred and twenty dollars and I'm actually in a bit of a crossroads on this one I like the statue the art book is fairly standard and getting an actual DVD with a digital option instead of digital only is nice and while I normally hate tons of paper the dossiers themselves are pretty cool and a good theme at ik touch for double the cost of the game by itself I'd have to go with this one actually being worth it for diehard Batman fans especially if you love the Joker well that was our unboxing and thoughts on the Batman Arkham origins collector's edition now while we did the unboxing here on tald I'm actually on another channel
