Couldn't agree more, to be quite honest. What possible use am I going to have for a fake Lancer or a too-small Master Chief helmet? Modern Warfare 2 at least has the decency to give you an extra that will work, but when the hell am I going to have a need for night vision goggles? Yes, yes, I know there are actually plenty of things, but realistically, people, when am I going to use them?
The Dragon Age special edition sounds really good, in my opinion. It's always a good thing when the special features aren't just gimmicks that you're never going to have any need for. The Quake 4 special edition was like that as well. Ok, it didn't give you any extra in-game items, and the "making of" video wasn't particularly interesting, but it came with a copy of Quake II and both its expansion packs. No one sensible would say no to that, and in my case especially, it was brilliant: Quake II was one of my all-time favourite games, but I managed to lose the disc. Knowing that I could get it back, and get Quake 4 as well, was very good news to me.
