Collector's Edition: I Spent $130 For This??

Blazblue did do it right. $60 for the soundtrack(which is awesome), the game, and a DVD with basic strategies(or I think. I haven't used the DVD)Axl4002 said:*waits for BlazBlue comments*
BlazBlue did it the right way, if you pre-order, you get the limited edition at no extra cost with an artbook, OST, and a DVD/Blu-ray with tips and such.
Atlus is great at this too
But some companies do take it too far. .
{EDIT}
Forgot to add. Welcome to the Escapist.
If gamers are stupid enough to be manipulated, then I see no problem with it. And if you were stupid enough to believe the Master Chief helmet could be worn (after all announcements said that it was TOO SMALL to be worn; hell, the cat comparison this article uses came from Bungie themselves) then you were probably stupid enough to try it on even after seeing its size.
You think some plastic stand is going to prevent people from whipping that thing at each others' noggins? Can I come live in your pleasant lil' world for a while?Littaly said:
Woe betide anyone dumb enough to try that. NVGs are great for amplifying ambient light, but staring at a light source with them is gonna be an exercise in staring into the sun. Unless Little Suzie Jailbait likes changing in total darkness, her room light will wash out the NVGs. That's why in the CoD4 mission where they infiltrate a house they cut the power to the lights before going in. I thought NVGs sounded like a cool, yet useless, idea.TheNumber1Zero said:
This is one of those things that always just makes me want to go around slapping people. The company announces the collector's edition and the extras that will come with it, and then people start whining about how they don't want to pay $50 for such and such "worthless crap". SO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND JUST BUY THE NORMAL GAME YOU IDIOT!!
Just makes me wish I could stick my foot through my monitor and boot these people in the face ala Yahtzee.

The best CE I ever got was Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete and Lunar: Eternal Blue complete. SSS came with hardbound manual with a walkthrough of the first dungeon and tips, and a sound track and making of CD complete with audio bloopers, and a cloth map. EB complete came with a hardbound manual like SS, an "Okake" box with little character picture stands, a paper map, a sound track, and a copy of Lucia's amulet from the game. I've yet to see anything match that.
PS: These were at the base, regular cost for the game. Ahh, PS2 Remakes. This was back when a good RPG came in a jewel case with 4 discs.

I like things, and would like to have little trinkets to ordain my car, like window stickers (plz valve?) or cheep little figurines (The tabletop possibilitys are endless!). But most of all, I want these things to come with my game. I would gladly pay an extra 5 or 10 bucks to have such with my game or DVD so I don't have to spend any more time searching for this stuff.
Such would also discourage the re-sale market, as there would be those down the line who will buy from the big box months later rather than at GS or Amazon Used for this crap.

Yeah, the Modern Warfare 2 Prestiege Ed. is expensive, but getting a pair of working NVGs and a sequel to one of the most bitching games of all time is a win-win situation for me.
Yes, the NVGs aren't military grade, but it's still hard to get your hands on a pair. And, seeing as I live in a place that Con Ed will allow to stay dark for days on end, the NVGs can and will be dead useful. And in between blackouts, this means I don't have to worry about tripping over the cats at night! (Yeah, sweetness!)

Spiffy manuals are also acceptable to me if they are done artistically or stylized to match the theme of the game.Maraveno said:how about spiffy manuals like the one for LOTR-Online collectors edition??George Palmer said:
I love the ones with T-shirts for all they're worth
T-shirts do nothing for me 'cause Im a 340lb. fat ass and it would never fit me.
I'm getting the Arkham collector's edition and am super excited about it. I heard that they were originally going to release the metal batarang, but now it's going to be high-grade plastic. It's not that I don't already have a metal one, but that disappointed me.
didn't mention this...
the thought of getting all that extra stuff is nifty, i mean a batarang, night vision goggles, masterchief helmet, kobe bryant/ezio figure, and even that locker are indeed quite collectable items, however, personally i realise i don't need this stuff cluttering my desk.

Morrowind GOTY edition came with both expansions and a construction set so you could make mods with it.
I thought that was pretty cool.
