Defiance Ultimate Edition Unboxing

It's about time for me to start getting these Unboxing posts up so I decided to give it a crack this morning and I'm going to start with one of my latest collectors editions. Say hello to the Amazon Exclusive Defiance Ultimate Edition.

Outer box is huge

As you can see in the picture above the outer box is huge, a lot bigger then I was expecting but to show it off I did put my Gears of War in the picture to give you an idea on the size. To be honest I was just expecting some rubbish outer packaging to hold this in but I was surprised how much work has gone into the boxes. Anyway Defiance is a third person shooter MMO that ties in with the new Syfy tv series that started last week, both can effect each other. So what do you get in this box? well the ultimate edition contains the collectors edition (GAME exclusive) plus the season pass and a bag.

Bag and Collectors Edition

You can see in the picture to the left it was all neatly put away and I got to say the collectors edition box is amazing but I will go over that in a second. First let's talk about the bag you get which I was expecting to be really cheap but instead I got very nice high quality bag.





Defiance "Defi" logo is on the out side then plastered across the inside. Two clips plus Velcro fastenings to keep the bag secure. Inside there is slot pocket for paper and could fit a small net book but I would not go out the way for a laptop. Plenty of extra pockets and zip pockets for anything valuable as well. Honestly I was shocked how nice the bag and the material is the proper weather resistant stuff, in fact I've been using this quite a bit recently.

So let's talk about the collectors edition, this I was really impressed with since the box was made to look like a containment unit. You see the collectors edition comes with a figurine of one of the creatures from the game, so they decided to make the box the containment unit to hold it. Take a look below at it was done.

Collectors Edition

There was one problem with this box and that it was tight for the contents, if you take a look below when it's open you can see every fits in snugly. Trying to get the figurine out was a pain and you can hear the clear holding plastic scratching against the box as you pull it out. When trying to put it back in it also catches the opening windows, this could had been cut down slightly to fit better.

Handles on the side to carry it

This was also problem for the rest of the contents since there is a artbook at the bottom and to get it out I had to turn the box upside down and tap it to force it out. Little more thought could had gone a long way with this but I am happy with the effort gone into making the containment unit box, not many companies would spend time making the boxes look cool.

Inside the collectors edition

So in the collectors edition you get the figurine of course, the artwork book and a copy of the game. If you look in the picture below you can also see the soundtrack with some postcards and stickers. There was even a letter from the in game Professor who you start off with inviting you on the expedition that starts the game off with (nice touch). The game does have all the codes for the extra goodies, the season pass for the next several DLC. Extra armour and weapons for the game as well.

Collectors edition content

To be honest it's a box standard contents for a collectors edition. But I will see the artbook and figurine are really nice, I was shocked though since the figurine is not fixed to the base unit. It just sits on top of it so it can fall off if knocked, a clip to hold it in place would had been nice. But overall one of the nicest collectors edition out there and the game is getting better in my books.

So I hope you enjoyed my unboxing blog post for Defiance, hopefully I will have a few more for you guys over the next few weeks since I do have plenty of collectors edition sitting around my room.
