For anyone worrying that the loot chest included with the expensive Borderlands 2 Collector's Edition might be a dinky little case, worry no longer! Images posted on yfrog show that the included carrying case is bigger than any old bread box. It can even hold a small dog with ease!
While the quality of the case is still uncertain, it is at least a considerable size. While that might not make the $150 price point any easier to swallow, it is at least nice to know I can carry a dog in it. Images below for those of you who enjoy seeing a terrified dog being placed inside of a loot chest.
