Not sure if I can justify an extra tenner for a metal tin & a load of videos that will probably be on GameTrailers or even the PlayStation Store eventually.

BFN,

I’ve just ordered my ticket to watch “Quantum of Solace” when it opens at the end of next week. Anybody else pre-booked?

PS. According to early reviews (that I have tried to avoid) there may well be a third movie to follow the story on from “Casino Royale”, through this movie, and then further thereafter.

Also, the US is having a “Collector’s Edition”, and pre-ordering at GameStop{dot}com offers an interesting incentive:

Online & In-Store Pick-up: Your code will be emailed to you. Please provide a valid email at checkout.

Store Reservations: Your code will be available at time of pick-up.

Still no news on anything special for the UK/European market(s) other than the fact the ‘Collector’s Edition’ has got a classification of a “12″ rating:
