Collectors Editions

Half-Life 2 collectors edition tin, artbook and an awesome t-shirt.

Actually really like the shirt, it's subtle so that only gamers would get the Half-Life logo and to everyone else it's just a cool logo. :p

Mine is lot darker than the one in that picture though. :)
 
Hate stupidly shaped collectors edition packaging - same goes for DVD's/Blu Rays. They must sit nice & uniformly on the shelf or they're out!!
 
Pfft, just the disc does me fine.

Generally this, though I managed to get the CE of Fallout 3 for £35, also got the CE of Assassin's Creed for about £20 I think and sold the game on after a while. It depends on what I'm getting for the extra money and whether or not I would want the extras separately from the game :)
 
I also get CE if there is something etra of some use/value, if it was a game I was really looking forward to, and if its not significantly more than the standard game.

C&C3 Kane Edition
World In Conflict - real piece of the Berlin Wall, headphones and a cold war DVD - £10 extra
Red Alert Premier Edition (got it after a couple of moths from release) £25
Fallout 3 Lunch Box tin £31 at Zavi closing down sale + Collectors Hardback guide book
 
I hate 2 Disk special Edition DVD's and the like, I'm very much a basic kind of guy, if it was THAT special edition (i/e worth a lot of cash) there wouldn't be many produced, and on the "ooh I like that" front, the add ons are usually plastic crud
 
I am a bit of a sucker for special editions for the games I really like. I really like the cases like Halo 2's special edition had, find the tins (like GoW and Forza 2) a little annoying.



The worst special edition ever is Viva Pinata though, only got it because it was off the bay and pretty cheep, very annoying packaging.
 
My favourite has to be the GTA IV (360) Special Edition, with the lock box, duffel bag, art book and soundtrack.

Second favourite is the Fallout 3 (PC) Collectors Edition with the artbook, soundtrack, pipboy and lunchbox.

And my third favourite is my Gears of War 2 Hardcore Edition (360) with gold lancer replica, art book, steelbook, and bonus disc.

I also have a few others in the form of World in Conflict (PC) and Civilization Complete (PC), but the above three are by far the coolest.
