For people complaining that the Phenom Edition isn't worth the extra $40....you realize that one does not often have the opportunity to acquire something personally autographed by THE UNDERTAKER. That autograph alone is worth at least $150.

True, but most people aren't looking to sell the autograph.
For a lot of collectors, an autograph is worthless unless they get it themself.

I want to have it and add it to my collection. It will be my 2nd Undertaker autograph. I have the 18-0 Wrestlemania plaque. It's damn near impossible to get something signed in person by The Undertaker, so officially licensed WWE merchandise is as close as most of us are going to get. I guess it all boils down to how much it's worth to each person and how much of a fan each individual is. I am one of the biggest Undertaker fans you will find, I want the autograph, so to me it is worth the price. For others who may not be as interested, it's their right to choose to not purchase the Phenom Edition. I didn't get the Austin edition last year because I don't care about him, but I know others were VERY excited about it.

So happy they gave him his debut look. Makes it easier to give him a theme. I'm getting more excited for this game!

What's the value in a printed Undertaker autograph? It seems pointless.

I was just talking about a number of collectors.

Autographed photo on WWE Shop - at least $20 Controller Skin - About $5 DVD/Blu - About $10 (went low because it doesn't include the special features)
Honestly, to buy the parts of the collectors edition at retail price separate you wouldn't be far off from what you are paying extra for the collectors edition, add in the rarity of an authentic Undertaker autograph as mentioned before, plus the collectible tin to house it all, and it's probably not hard for a lot of fans to justify the price.

I don't think it's a case of people not thinking the contents of it equal out to the $100 value, I think it's more that people are annoyed that you'd have to shell out that much money in the first place just to get the actual game content of the American Badass Undertaker--at least not if you don't want to wait 4-5 months after the game's out, that is.

If I had the money last year, I would have gotten the Austin edition.

I'm so glad we're getting an Undertaker ABA DLC. I wanted Taker ABA last year, and I'm glad we're getting it this year. The only sad part is the theme, which will most likely be either Thorn in Your Eye (Smackdown 2) or the generic music they replace either Rollin' or American Badass with on DVDs. I can't believe after all of this time, people are still worried/complaining (not necessarily you) about what theme someone may get when it's so ridiculously easy to change/customize them. Someone asked Goldberg on twitter if he was going to be on and he replied "careful what you ask for". I guess it looks like we're getting a BOWM roster after all. Hopefully they still cram in most of the Attitude guys, if not like I've been saying it's an easy pass for me. Technically this could be great if they include all the attires and stars from the last few games, having WWE 12's WM7 Savage on as an alternate attire to the WM3 Savage they have on would be sweet. If it is BOWM maybe they'll fix Billy's tights lol. That's definitely a non-answer. I wouldn't put any weight behind that whatsoever. People have flat out said they'd be in before and haven't and vice versa. If you have an Xbox 360 with the 4gb hardrive, it's impossible. So we'll complain all we want. Why should we have to fix something that we're paying 60+ bucks for?

Okay, now that's pretty ing awesome. That's the exact look I was hoping for (minus the trenchcoat). Pretty damn cool seeing it finally replicated in another game since SmackDown! 2. Trenchcoat?

Kinda off topic but does anyone else think that the guy singing Taker's "Big Evil" sounds almost exactly like The Rock? I don't hear that at all lol

One thing that bothers me about those Undertaker screenshots is that for the Warrior, when they were showing him off, they had him in the 80's arena even though they hadn't show that yet, but here they're just showing him in a modern one. You'd think they would have it in an Attitude-based arena if they really wanted to promote it right, no? Then again, the initial shot of Warrior was in the RAW 1000 arena as well. We'll have to wait and see, yet again. Hopefully we get a trailer for this soon. Summerslam can't come fast enough. Ditto, that's why I've been horribly trying to stay away from this thread...It's not working

That autograph alone is worth at least $150. Actually, the value is going to be a lot cheaper than that. It's the same with autographed baseballs, bats, and cards. A company has the superstar sign a shitload of stuff, then all the merch gets sold. In a couple years, there's so much of that 'stuff' in circulation, you're lucky if you can get 50 bucks for it. People who are buying this are not buying it for the resale value, and if they are they got another thing coming. They're buying it because they love the Undertaker so much his signature is worth the extra 40 bucks. Well, I say nay-nay.

I have the Undertaker autographed 18-0 Wrestlemania plaque and I payed a little over 100 for it from WWEShop a few years ago, and they go for way more than that, but I'd never sell it. I'm too big of an Undertaker fan and there's nothing I collect that I ever have any intentions of selling. I want another Undertaker autograph just because I want to have it, lol.

Hmm, do I spend $100 for an autographed photo of Undertaker, a DVD I don't want, a controller skin I won't use, an oversized case to put the game in, the game itself and the actual DLC (which I'm assuming is including Ultimate Warrior since he's on there with Undertaker)? Or do I pre-order the game for $60 at GameStop and wait until January where I can order ABA Undertaker for $1? Decisions, decisions...

I think for people that have multiple slots in one game should come under one slot except a little different. When you click on Undertaker, it brings up the options: Undertaker, Undertaker (ABA) and whatever else would be there and then that takes care of the annoyingness of many slots but doesn't bring them under one attire.
When you choose which slot you want, then it comes up with finisher options and superstar threads options.
