[Dag-Sabot]

Im not big on collectors editions. Sitting around in splinter cell long johns doesn't make this game good.

[LilAbner]

I think the jig will soon be up for these lame "collectors editions."

Then again, you'll always have idiots who will pay an extra $20 - or more - for this crap.

[Dag-Sabot]

i guess suckers are born every minute.

[Anenome]

There's someone out there who's a fanatic, some good percentage of the SC playing population that will certainly buy these things up. I'm sure. But not me.

[Whimbrel]

First, I don't think there is any way I would spend that much for this game. Also, I don't care that much about "in game" items.

The custom USB drive loaded with content sounds pretty cool.

However, here is what I like about collector's editions. I love the "making of DVD's" Hearing the game designers and artists describe the process of developing their vision into a game experience can help me appreciate a game more and notice things the developers crafted that I might have overlooked. The movies on HALO 2 were outstanding for this. Aside from that, who needs another napkin map of dragon land?

[Morpheus]

Orh man. With that box I thought it would come with a Sam Fisher statue/figurine or something. That I would pay for.

[Anenome]

It needs to have like a silenced .45 in the box, then it'd be a platinum seller :P

[bickle]

Still better than the GoW3 special edition though :P
