OOP/Spot: The BioShock Big Daddy Edition

Posted retroactively on 22 Nov, 2008: After the inital panic of forgetting, then having my London house keys delivered across the Saudi desert across the border into another country in under 3 hours just in time before my flight, I thought I should wind down with a bit of window shopping. 

I was looking for Command and Conquer 3 (non-classics) and came across THIS instead:
XBOX 360 PAL versions of the old GAME exclusive (at least in the UK) BioShock "Big Daddy" editions. Two boxes. One shrink wrapped in a slightly dodgy cardboard box. The other one lazily re-sealed with sticky tape (i.e. very dodgy) cardboard box. Of course, the shrink wrapped one had the problem with the amputated Big Daddy's, whereas the very dodgy box had a pristine looking Big Daddy.

Title BioShock Collector's Editon (PAL-UK)
Release 24th August, 2007
RRP  £49.99
eBay Price £50 - £90
Price Found 30 Bahrain Dinars (~£45.00 at the time)
Yoinked? No, as it was too shoddy, but thinking back, the wet shoddyness was fitting.
