"What are your thoughts on collector editions for a video game? When is it a good buy or just another piece of junk that will just collect dust in your closet?
Many gaming companies put in the time, effort and money to give us gamers something to collect along side our games. Usually these collector editions run around $70 to $100 dollars, if not more. Instead of playing $60 dollars for a game, what makes us want to pay more for a few extra goodies? Is it loyalty to the game and its company? Could it be because you’re a collecting nut?"
A famous actor from Starship Troopers has showered praise on Helldivers 2 and said he is open to the idea of playing General Brasch.

Like the GOWIII Ultimate Edition for example, which comes in a beautifully crafted model of Pandora's Box with a gorgeous art book, but also has bonus DLC codes for new costumes and challenge arenas, as well as a full soundtrack highlighting the entire series and the Blood & Metal EP.
I usually buy them for my favorite games, or when they're really original, like GOWIII, Bioshock 2, and Alan Wake for example.
I don't consider myself a collecting nut, but I couldn't help myself but buy the Alan Wake CE....
It had a combination of added story elements as well as an interesting documentary on how the company and the games stages that it went through.
So I can say that I buy the CE as long as they add another layer to the story...and in Alan Wake's case I was more then satisfied.
Just a stupid fad to make people pay more for a 50 or 60 dollar game in my opinion. Bought MW 2 Hardened Edition and I'm still regretting it. At least there is a statue comes with Halo: Reach but is it seriously worth to paying that much? Not for me. But I'll buy CE's as long as they come packed with good stuff like GoW III and Alan Wake's CE's. At least Pandora's Box was looking nice and Alan Wake CE came with "Alan Wake Files" that revealed some important things about the game.
I could care less for statues, and art books. I just want the exclusive content like armour, weapons, and flaming heads (halo reach).
I still have my ff8 tshirt and memory card stickers I got with my ff8 collectors edition :D god that was almost 10 years ago.
