Collector's Edition you WOULD BUY

Postby VideoGameCritic » August 23rd, 2024, 5:32 pm

We've all seem the fancy $$$ collector's editions for games new and old. I just saw a new one for the original Quake

I don't like Quake THAT much, but it occurred to me, which game WOULD you be willing to shell out the big bucks for?
There's got to be one game you love so much, you would pay premium for a fancy collector's edition.
What game is that for you??

I am not big into knickknacks that come in collectors editions but I am a sucker for a nice steelbook. If a game has a "deluxe" version that includes a steelbook I would go with that. Full blown collectors edition? Where the heck would that fit on my shelf?

I have that one on Digital Download. It cost me $4. Would I pay 100 for a fancy box for it. No. Classic games, yeah I understand that.

I've purchased a few collector's editions over the years. Of course, that was all before getting married and having a kid. Now, I'm not sure I can imagine having more crap to store on shelves or in closets. I'll just buy the game for now.

Having said that my Master Chief helmet from Halo 3 Legendary Edition looks pretty swanky on my shelf.

Some '90s PC game in the original box; I already have a few. Bad Day on the Midway would be a great one to get. MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries. The Last Express.

Don’t care much for fancy packaging, but an edition that has all available DLC/expansion packs does get my attention, especially coupled with a reference to a credible review.

In the 90s I had a good run with Ocean’s ‘The Hit Squad’ branded games. Never seemed to buy a dud.

Just bought an Evercade VS-R and the first Duke Nukem collection as the first two DN games are some of the greatest platformers ever made.

None of them.

Deluxe Box sets are just a transparent ploy to make you pay more money for the same game.
