The people who are genuinely interested in this game, I encourage you to give it a try and form your own opinion. This game deserves to be given a chance, even if you had things spoiled. Nothing compares to actually playing the game. The amount of work, sweat, and tears that Naughty Dog put into this magnum opus cannot be understated. I couldn’t recommend it further. That being said, this is only one man’s opinion. As for the actual Ellie edition contents, I’m very satisfied with all of them. The statue and backpack are the best items by far. Great sculpt on Ellie, (no wonky eye), and the backpack is sturdy, well made, and fully functioning. Best Buy did a pretty good job at preparing the item for me for curbside delivery, I had no problems like some of the other people who didn’t get theirs on release day. The only thing I can think of as to why people got their items canceled or delayed was because they were late preorders, (that’s still no excuse), but I preordered mine back in February. My advice to people who are worried about preordering from Best Buy, as long as you do it early, you have nothing to worry about.

First of all I was lucky enough to get the Ellie Edition at retail price and im super glad i did. The content inside is of high quality and was definitely the worth the money. I also bought TLOU2 PS4 Pro Edition bundle too thats how hyped i was for this game. The game itself is AMAZING. The story is absolutely incredible with a fantastic soundtrack. Gameplay mechanics improved drastically. Characters make you feel for them good and bad. Great character development. Don’t listen the critics or haters. Some people may find it hard to believe but some of us are open minded to changes and are able to see from different perspectives. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS GAME IS AS GOOD, OR DARE I SAY, BETTER THAN THE FIRST ONE. As a fan of the franchise when i played it years ago and waited for part 2 i say what Naughty Dog did with the story is worthy of Game Of The Year in my opinion. Id recommend it to everyone new and old fans of the franchise. All i ask is for the people in doubt to give it a chance and play it for yourself. True gamers know how it goes. Never truly listen to critics be your own judge. If you want a game that makes you feel like you’re a part of that world trying to survive then The Last of Us Part 2 a perfect game for that.

If you are a fans of the Last of Us or Naughty Dog, can’t go wrong with this one. The price may seem high, but adding in the game, statue, and the well crafted back bag, it will justify the buy. The packaging itself is very professional, I knew this would be a top prize of my gaming collection.

Naughty dog, like thier games this Ellie edition CE is high quality and imo well worth the price. You get the game, steelbook, Ellie statue, art book, some enamel pins, stickers, a patch, 7" vinyl, replica of Ellie's bracelet, some cool (themes and avatars may be pre-order bonus idk), and last and definitely not the least a high quality replica of Ellie's backpack, pretty much a jansport without the logos. Don't believe the negativity about the game, it's a 10 imo and we'll worth playing it through to the end. I personally like the 1st game best but this is really close. Naughty Dog went no holds barred with this one so be prepared to be wowed.

A ton of great content come with the Ellie Ed. It also happens to be the heaviest ce I have ever bought as the box with all its contents weighs over 18lbs.
