the retail collectors edition doesn't come with all the same stuff as the gold steam package Beast. (if you didn't already know)
personally i'm going to get the silver steam package. it just seems like a great thing to do for some reason <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
