Collectors' Editions are an acquired taste and 2010 has seen some great bundles released, but there has been a handful released over the past twelve months which stray into bizarre territory.
Here are five of 2010's most absurd collectors' editions.
Record of Agarest War is a PS3/Xbox 360 title that has been revamped and brought to the Nintendo Switch. Featuring a unique hook where there are multiple generations and who you court changes the stats of the next protagonist, the title does struggle with a bog-down of features to where it’s hard to
"Hello everyone, we have more details to share concerning the upcoming decommissioning of online services affecting several AC titles, including additional information regarding the DLC for these titles."
When will you decommission this new one? I’m only asking so I can be happier by not buying it at full price.
The dog Chorizo from FAR CRY 6 has wheelchair legs, so is hardly a decommissioned pet. In fact very useful for digging up dirt.
From Digital Foundry: "Welcome to the third part in the biggest DF Retro episode we've ever produced - a year-by-year look at how 1080p gaming fared on the PlayStation 3. Launched in 2007 touting its then-exclusive HDMI digital interface, Sony layered full HD gaming on top of its Cell processor and RSX 'Reality Synthesizer' as key selling points for its third generation console. Of course, we all know how that turned out - both Sony and Microsoft machines routinely ran the most advanced titles at sub-720p resolutions, often with questionable performance, so what happened to the 1080p dream?
In the first two parts of John Linneman's investigation, we've covered off the first four years of the Triple's lifecycle and moving into 2010, the overall fortunes of the PlayStation 3 continued to improve. The platform holder released - what was then - the most advanced motion controller in the console space, backed up by experiments with stereoscopic 3D, which turned out to be a short-lived but still formidable pairing. Combined with a strong E3 showing, PS3 was looking good.
However, it's fair to say that it was a fallow year for 1080p gaming on the system, with only Scott Pilgrim Saves The World's razor-sharp pixel art upscaling, Castle Crashers and Soldner X2's 3D/FMV stylings accommodating full HD output - alongside a wonderful Monkey Island remaster."
Just remember ladies and gentlemen, Sony never said all games would be 1080p. Only that the system would support games up to 1080p in a survey before the system was released.

And as we saw, some games did support it, some games tried their best to support it and some games didn't or never reached it.
Is a higher resolution great to have if you can do it? Sure. Is it necessary for a fun game? No
But what I find interesting is Eurogamer. Are they really talking about HD and PS3 in their article or are they really pushing their 4.50 Euros 4K video download subscription? Seems one is being used to sell the other. Just look at the bottom of the article.
This really feels like a filler article. I don't feel like I learned anything notable or substantial from this. I feel they could have reduced the unnecessary intro and over-explanation of things and put the whole series in one article for a more substantial and possibly informative piece rather than piece-mealing it out as they have.
I got my Bioshock 2 collectors edition my accident. I never knew how big it was going to be when I ordered it from play.com, I thought what the hell since it was only 24.99 and the standard game was just 17.99.
I Assassins creed codex edition was amazing, I'm actually surprised europe got a better collectors edition then America
Still had to order my Littlebigplannet 2 CE from america, Europes is a joke
I guess mw2 prestige wasnt absurd at all.
what an absurd article.
"We should have known Sony Europe were having a laugh at our expense when they bundled a leather wallet with the premier edition as well."
They just knew that some people still have enough money though they bought a Signature Edition. BTW: it's awesome! Stealth Cars FTW!
Lol, USA got a very crappy Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Collector's Edition. I love my EU Limited Codex Edition and all stealth cars without Signature Edition!
