Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag Aussie Limited, Chest, Skull & Buccaneer Editions- Too much choice?

OXCGN:

"With Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag details beginning to flow from a trickle to a stream, we have just learned that there will once again be multiple new versions of the franchise’s latest game sold: the Black Chest Edition, the Buccaneer Edition, the Skull Edition, and the Special Edition.

With so many editions, how will you decide which to purchase? The content involved? The price tag? Is it just getting too confusing?"

Included is the gameplay trailer.

There is ridiculous amount of editions...how are we supposed to decide?

[Godem]

BUY ALLL OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...standard edition for me, not sure if I can honestly handle another AC game so soon.

I'm trading my unfinished copy of ACIII for Bioshock today.

@Bathyj

I wasn't as impressed with ACIII as I'd hoped. The Bioshock game looks great though! I do like pirates, so will be getting this one too, hoping it goes back to great architecture and environments.

It's good, caters for all prices and involvement people are willing to commit to.

Personally, as long as it has the game, I'm happy.

Depending on the game/franchise, I'll occasionally splash out on an extra figurine or whatever.

Whether there is too much choice shouldn't really be a major focus - it's not integral to the game experience.

A 'Special Edition' isn't really special when there are 3 other more collectible versions

[BadCircuit]

I like the statues! But even then, there are 2 of them!!!!

[Proeliator]

I hope America gets good LE's... AC3 we got a crappy edition... and the game took place here, for crying out loud!!!

[BadCircuit]

Oops double post...stupid delay.

[BadCircuit]

I don't hold out much hope for you then. If it's region free you should order it online :) The PS3 version will be.

[gaminoz]

Looks like this is all North America are getting?

nvm

[Baka-akaB]

Why are you freaking out ? It wasnt that different with the multiple editions of AC2 and 3.

[rezzah]

Regular edition is fine for me.

The only thing I'm really interested in is an AC Encyclopedia Vol.3.

[ScubaSteve1]

so what about America? it seems Ubisoft loves to shaft us again

[ironfist92]

Sweet. Im loving the figurines, not sure which to get though

as for DLC, thatll be released on PSN later down the road, the rest of the physical content is meh
