We deeply apologize for any offense caused by the Dead Island Riptide "Zombie Bait Edition," the collector's edition announced for Europe and Australia. Like many gaming companies, Deep Silver has many offices in different countries, which is why sometimes different versions of Collector's Editions come into being for North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia.For the limited run of the Zombie Bait Edition for Europe and Australia, a decision was made to include a gruesome statue of a zombie torso, which was cut up like many of our fans had done to the undead enemies in the original Dead Island.
We sincerely regret this choice. We are collecting feedback continuously from the Dead Islandcommunity, as well as the international gaming community at large, for ongoing internal meetings with Deep Silver's entire international team today. For now, we want to reiterate to the community, fans and industry how deeply sorry we are, and that we are committed to making sure this will never happen again.

Well this is a weird collectors Item , note how they never say that they are not retracting the edition.

I watched a game scoop on IGN that had some pretty valid arguments about collectables
and how different regions get different ones now , like the UK getting a Gods among us collectable showing batman strangling wonder woman and the US getting a version were wonderwomen is on not so much trouble .
other things like depending on where you pre order a game you get different content exclusive or not .

What are you guys views on these kind of shock and awe collectables ?

That is just a disturbing collectable. I SERIOUSLY would not want to purchase something so... Explicit. If it were a full zombie-like torso with head and part arms, maybe... But not like that. It looks very off-putting to me.:(
 
would have been better if the torso was greenish, so people can tell its dead flesh. I can just see you bringing a date home and that's sitting on the counter lol
 
Oh ffs, anyone having a hissy fit over something like that is pretty pathetic imo ....... don't like it? don't fucking get it but stop telling everyone else that they have to dislike it oo.
 
I'm pretty sure it was made for the sole purpose of getting headlines in the news. More media attention = more potential buyers.

Slow week so you have to put on the chop robe? It was aimed at the crazies that make a big deal about these type of things, you know, the gaming world has to deal with said crazies quite regularly because they love making a big noise about gaming "controversies". I actually had no one in mind from the site when I posted my post but like I said, slow week for ya huh :rolleyes:

Do try be constructive and on topic and take the bitchy elsewhere .......

Um... In either case, if you have something like that on your counter, I don't think that's ever going to be an issue you're going to have to worry about. ;)

Serial killing for fun and profit, maybe?

Hockey mask not included.

It's what all the blossoming Ted Bundy wannabes have on their mantles!

A fun conversation piece for your next family Christmas party! Don't forget to invite the kiddies to have a gander!

Gives a whole new meaning to the word "tacky."

Dismembering bikini-clad coeds isn't just for Jason and Freddy anymore!

Yeah, it's disgusting, but dude! Booooooooobs... *nudgenudge*
