Mister Jack Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) Some Collector's Editions just give you a kinda neat tin case or some paltry DLC. But then you get games with Collector's Editions so damn balla that they deserve special attention. They usually cost more, but there are plenty of people who would agree that it's well worth it. Post the sweetest Collector's Editions for games both past and future here in this thread. Edited December 27, 2010 by Mister Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainetemplar Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) I got the Bioshock 2 Collector's Edition a month ago for 20 euros. I'm not a big Bioshock fan at all, but damn that vinyl LP makes up for it. Edited December 27, 2010 by rainetemplar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c hoertjes Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I've never understood the big deal about collectors editions. Just give me the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheForgetfulBrain Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I think this wasn't even a collector's edition where you had to pay more - they just gave it to you if you pre-ordered. I never actually opened it because I never finished the first game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMagicPony Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Oh I got that guy too. I didn't finish it though. I never played the first one anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheForgetfulBrain Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Oh I got that guy too. I didn't finish it though. I never played the first one anyway. Second one was supposed to be a bit better, but I suppose I'll never know. Saves from the first game are dead along with my fried PS3.

D-K Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) I have various special editions/limited editions, this is my favourite: The Blazblu SE includes beautiful Boxart, Blu-ray movie detailing the extensive movelist for each character and also shows fighting strategies and tips, soundtrack on 2 discs, 42 tracks in total. And the game is just awesome. Two other SE that make up my top three are Infamous SE, and Shadow of the Colossus SE, both beautiful boxes with nice art booklets/pamflets.

Pheermee Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Ah Yeah, I have that one as well. I love the Audio CD. Blaz Blue and Guilty Gear have excellent Music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyGriever Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I got the Bioshock 2 Collector's Edition a month ago for 20 euros. I'm not a big Bioshock fan at all, but damn that vinyl LP makes up for it. Me too. I love that CE! I got it for $40 and got a Dragon Age CE Guide for free too.

mintycrys Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) Every IIDX Premium LE since IIDX Red, of which the only ones I'm missing are Happy Sky and DistorteD (the best ones ;_; ). IIDX GOLD did come with the mother of all video game artbooks, and IIDX Empress' Konamistyle Complete Edition cost 250 bucks: There's a bit more than just that, and its value has dropped since I let my sister put the smooooch pins on a track jacket she wears a la Satonaka Chie.

Chronixal Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Goddamn I want this. Helghast > ISA Agreed, that is the first and only collector set that's tempted me. Doubt I'll pick it up though. And I don't think anyone likes the ISA. Not only are the Helghast the more interesting side, but they're actually the oppressed side. I hope they win.

deanb Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I was gonna get assassin creed 2 black. Till i realised it would probably be a shitty model. Most CEs I have are from pre orders. Just tin cases n such. Wither 2 I've sang about its regular edition plenty of times no need for the collectors. Map, die cast figuring, concept art book(not screens) making of, nice case and maybe soundtrack if its good. That'd do me fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrowKnow Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Preordered this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted December 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I had it ordered for months now, just in case there came to be any possibility of quantity not meeting demand. Unlikely, but never impossible. I'm probably the first person in the tri-city area to have preordered that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyaruson Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I have every Metal Gear collectors edition, mostly for new numerous sealed copies of the Metal Gear Saga Vol 1 & 2. My Bioshock 1 collector's edition comes with that awesome Big Daddy statue, and mine wasn't even broken. So that's nice. Halo Reach had an awesome one too, and I was able to snag that for $45, so you can't go wrong there. I think my all-time favorite collector's edition has to be a toss up between my T rated Elder Scrolls IV collector's edition (that I got for free on launch day!), or my Mass Effect 2 collector's edition - just because of how hard they are to find. Sidenote: I was able to get Oblivion: CE for free on launch day because Gamestop was running a promotion where if you traded in any two Xbox 360 games, you got one for free. Doesn't matter the cost. So I ordered Perfect Dark Zero and Project Gotham Racing 3 from the Microsoft Retail Loyalty site for a grand total of $7, played them both for a week, then traded them in for Oblivion. Best. Decision. Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyssa Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 THAT LBP2 CE. I WANT IT. I'm a huge fan of Collector's Editions as well. I tend to get really nice ones even if I don't plan to play the game any time soon, like the Fallout 3: New Vegas CE, which I mainly want for the extras: ...and now I'm looking up all the CEs mentioned here. This thread is going to cost me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showmeyomoves! Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) And you still have the Fallout 3 CE that you never played. I only get excited for Collector's Editions when they're sequels to a game that I loved, and they MUST have something small like a statuette or a plushie. I don't care for making-of DVDs or art booklets, or huge items like a helmet or night-vision goggles. I'm still bummed I didn't pick up the MH Tri CE: Then again, I don't think I would have used that Wii Speak much if at all. That Lagiacrus bust (and the Rathalos that came with a pre-order) is awesome, though. All I got was a Qurupeco for registering my copy at Club Nintendo... Lame.
