It's in the title.

It was recently announced that the Ultramarines movie will be released as a limited edition collector's package for £25.99.

In it you'll receive a couple of useless lovely little leaflets.

You can probably already tell from my tone what my reaction is, but what is Dakka's?

Who said it was only Collector's Edition?

Collector's is up already, and there is nothing to suggest this is the only one to ever be offered.

The regular (non-special edition) version will be available later.

I'll buy it then, if it's around $20.00.

Hi

I will if it comes out in a non collectors edition for about a tenner. But the graphics look very dated and I would rather put my £26 towards halo reach or force unleashed 2.

Get one copy for the gaming group with everyone chipping in a bit each.

This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

I'm not gonna spend 40 bucks on it. I was one of the posters who would actually sort of defend it when the first trailers came out, but I can't think of any movie I'd pay 40 bucks for without actually seeing it first. I hope to see it eventually, that price is just pretty steep. That and the animation, now that they've actually got trailers showing it, is so goddamn jerky and hokey. It's like Beast Wars.

Do you know what a push poll is? 8/9 options are "this movie is going to suck"

Why would you make a poll where every option is biased towards your opinion.

You're an idiot.

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."

This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

When people ask, "What's the point in understanding everything?" they've just disqualified themselves from using questions and should disappear in a puff of paradox. But they don't understand and just continue existing, which are also their only two strategies for life.

I do. You apparently do not. A push poll would be one whose questions are designed to mislead the polled individual to change their future behaviour. One that accurately reflects that "Yes it looks good" or "I would have, but I'm not paying that much" provides all the information you need to know about a person's position, while someone who doesn't think it looks good might react in a variety of ways, is simply good sense.

In addition, none of "Yes, it looks good!", "Yes (other)" or "I haven't decided" can in any way be interpreted as "This movie is going to suck." So at most, only 6/9 options can be translated as "This movie is going to suck" as you accuse.

Learn to count.

EDIT: Proof for those that believe they're releasing a non-special edition:
The ULTRAMARINES movie is only available as a DVD Special Edition Collector's Set - it is not for sale anywhere else - so, if you want to ensure you see it as soon as it is released on November 29 2010, place your order today.

Literally ever option?

Hrm well, as I guess I've made clear, I'm not too enthusiastic about the prospects for the film. So let's see how many of the options can be classified as echoing to that effect:

The film will not be good:
-No. £25.99 for Chaos Gate: The Deleted Scenes? You're kidding me.
-No. The movie just doesn't look that good.
-Yes, even if the movie doesn't look that great I still think that I should buy it just to encourage them to make a better one.
-Yes, I have more money than sense (lulz bias)

Ambivalent:
-I would have, but I'm not paying that much.
-I haven't decided.
-Yes (other)
-No (other)

Film WILL be good:
-Yes, it looks good!

So whilst I'd accept you referring to me as an idiot perhaps because I am wrong about it being solely collector's edition or the way (and I only noticed this afterward) that I put all the negative options at the top... I must reserve the right to refer to you as a freaking moron if you think that 4/9 of the options that mirror my own opinion constitute a 100% bias.

Hey follow DAKKAs #1 rule or youll get reported. We dont need crap like that here thats for sure.



I too was one of the people defending the movie, and wanted to buy it badly. BUT at $40 they can forget getting my business. If it comes out in a MUCH cheaper version Ill get it for sure.

I'll get it when it hits the five dollar bin.

Also, I agree that the poll itself is stupidly formatted. A simple yes/no/other(explain) would suffice.

40$ is a bit much for me...

I'm sure they'll release it again later for less money, this Collector's Edition thing is just a gimmick to squeeze a few more dollars out of the movie IMHO.

I wouldn't buy any movie for $40.

Assuming a regular edition is released for about $20 or so, I'd consider that.

Depending on how long it stays on sale I might chuck out $40 for it...but it would be around Jan or Feb, after the holidays. My budget right now is taken up making a Necron army for me and a SM army for my son. Also we are only a couple months form the holiday season, and thats always expensive.

Didn't see the poll questions yet, but sincerely hope the 9th question is along the lines of, "Will you play on your PSP while the DVD is running?"
