You really don't understand how "Collectors" items work, do you? For the most part, if it says "Collector's Edition" on it, it's worthless, as the Comicbook industry learned in the 90's.Beautiful End said:And making your lame typo box a Collector's Item? Same deal. People will save those for whatever reason anyway. But if you wanna look at it strictly from an official-Collector's-Edition point of view, then you guys need to give away something with it. If not, then don't call it one.
You seem to think I don't know anything about collector's edition games. Interesting. Whatever. Most Special/Collector's edition are named like that because they come with something extra, even if they're the same price as any other brand new game. Battlefield 3 had the Back to Karkland map pack, Twisted Metal had Twisted Metal Black for free. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit had extra cars. The first batch of those games are the ones considered special editions because they give you a little something-something extra that the following editions won't have. You can even tell by looking at the box. Revelaitons is not the case; they didn't get anything extra with it other than proof of Cacpcom's massive negligence.Scow2 said:You really don't understand how "Collectors" items work, do you?

It only takes one thing to make something a collector's item: Rarity (As in lack-of-quantity, not the pony). A 5-cent baseball card from 30 years ago can be worth thousands or millions of dollars now, even though it was originally intended just to encourage people to buy a stick of gum. An authentic American Golden Dollar that lacks the "In God We Trust" wrapped around the inside, or a penny from a certain year with an unusual copper/zinc ratio can also be worth thousands of dollars to a collector.
Pretty much, if there's a risk of something unique completely disappearing (In this case, Typo-laden Capcom game packages), then it becomes a valuable collector's item. Anything mass produced with "Collectors Edition" on it is merely a worthless gimmick.
