Collector's Editions?
« on: September 15, 2007, 08:32:51 pm »
I am just curious as to how many people out there spend the extra money on collector's editions of games.

Personally, I don't buy them. Usually, the collector's editions have an art book or a DVD detailing the making of the game, and I'm just not interested in things like that. Are these things worth it to any of you? Why or why not?
errr... something like that...

I buy some of the CE or LE stuff, but only if it's a good deal (for instance, FFXII CE was $10 more for a 2nd disc with a whole bunch of neat extras :D)  Sometimes the extras suck, but eh?  I like the behind the scenes and making of stuff.  I really enjoy seeing how much effort was put into the games I'm playing.

I bought the collectors edition of Half Life 2 a while ago, but that's the only time I've ever done that.  It came with a few nifty things, most of which I don't remember.  It came with a T-Shirt that I liked, but its size was XL or something, so I ended up giving it away.  The main motivation I had for buying the collectors edition over the normal one, though, was it came on a single DVD instead of 4 disks.  I hate multi-disk installers!

I usually download the game to see if it's any good before purchasing it. If the collector's edition is a lot better than the normal edition, I would probably spend the extra $20-$30 and buy it...

I got one of those. Still in the original packaging, because I pirated it before it came out. I had a friend who worked at UPS at the time, and a copy fell off the back of the truck.

Is that like "you're getting it cheap cause it fell off the back of a truck" or like it actually fell off the back of a truck?

I think he might have kicked it off the back of the truck, but there was definitely falling involved. The case was dented.

I didn't have to pay for it; I just threw it in my XBox, downloaded the files, made an ISO, and burned about 50 copies of it. Was selling them to everyone in my hall for $10 a pop. I had to remove the credits file so it would fit on a regular DVD, so if you ever beat the game it'll freeze at that point.
