The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Collector's Edition unboxing

On November 11 (11-11-11), you'll all be able to get your hands on The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. But that's more than a week away! What are you possibly going to do between now and then? Simple: watch this video of us tearing apart the box that the game came in to get our hands on the sweet, sweet magic inside.

It comes with everything a growing dragon hunter needs, like an art book, a video game, and, of course, a big plastic statue of a dragon. Seriously, even though it's a little flimsy, that dragon is absolutely awesome. If you're still on the fence as to which version you're going to be picking up check out the video, and decide for yourself if the extras are enough to justify the high cost. The Collector's Edition runs at over double the price of the standard edition, so you'd better really want a plastic dragon for your desk.
