I still fondly remember collecting X-Men Fleer ’95 Ultra trading cards (all of which I still have) and squealing in delight at obtaining any of the extremely rare and limited foil, battle or ‘x-ray’ cards. Since childhood I have always been drawn to anything marked as ‘limited’, ‘special’ or ‘rare’. Instead of the full featured bundles, South African retailers will only receive the watered down ‘standard’ special edition version of each game (in case you missed it, we are giving away a ‘special edition’ copy of inFAMOUS 2). Two prime examples are that of inFAMOUS 2 and Gears of War 3. Despite this it would appear that we are often forced into grasping the shortest stick in the bunch when it comes to limited and special edition versions of video games. Uncapped Internet along with speciality video game stores and events have gone a long way in placing South Africa on the world map of video game playing nations. The video game industry in our beloved country has made many large strides over the last several years.
