Assassin Creed Collector Editions

Morning folks,
In the week Ubisoft finally announced the special editions for the new Assassin's Creed 3 that will arrive in October and my god do they look amazing. First up is the Join or Die edition which can found with most retailers. This beauty comes with the following:

• Copy of the game (of course)
• Collectors Box 
• Connor's Medallion (new assassin)
• George Washington's Notebook containing detailed information about the role of the Assassins in the war
• Singleplayer Mission "Ghosts of War"
• Multiplayer Package "Sharpshooter"

The second edition which is the bigger one is exclusive to Gamestop but can be pre-ordered/bought from the Ubisoft website store. This ultimate bad boy edition contains the following:

• Copy of the game
• Collectors box
• Steel book case
• Connor Figurine
• George Washington's Notebook
• 2 Singleplayer Missions "Ghosts of War" & "Lost Mayan Ruins"
• Multiplayer Package "Sharpshooter"
• Exclusive Lithograph

How amazing do these look? the figurine is so much better then the past ones and it's meant to be somewhere around 24cm high. Looks like a lot of thought as been put into them, both boxes look amazing and I'm happy to see I can get the steel book case as well. Hoping the notebook goes into some good detail like how they did the Encyclopedia for Revelations, that was an outstanding book.

At this current time I've ordered both editions, Freedom is a must but I did want the Medallion and I normally do pick up the game later on the PlayStation. So I've ordered the Join or Die edition on the PS3 using the excuse that I was going to get the game again anyway so might as well just order the other edition.

By the way just an heads up for UK customers, Gamestop require you to pay the full amount for their pre-orders in advance so if you don't want to fork out the money straight away go with Ubisoft. I did that with the Animus Edition for Revelations and they don't charge until it's shipped.

So what editions you picking up? Join or Die? Freedom? Normal? Both? or none at all?
