Btw, I think the limited edition is awesome for it's price. But the epic edition, for some gun skins, a book and mini statue doesnt seem worth all that extra $

The little statue looks cool. And Blaze the same thing used to happen to me with IE, but now that I use Google Chrome it doesn't happen.

Great write up Blaze, and you too Iori. Epic edition just seems like a waste to me. Sure the Marcus statue is cool, but is it worth the extra 70 bucks compared to the limited? I don't think so. I might have to consider upgrading to the Limited though.
