Rinha Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 For me, it depends a lot on what said edition brings. I confess i love the unboxing of a slightly larger than usual box with goodies. But it has to be appealing. Most recent purchases were MHT (the chest one), Bayonetta Climax Edition, Demon's Souls... If they throw in a soundtrack, then i'm in, as i collect soundtracks. I am yet to purchase the Bioshock 2 special edition as, even though there are lots of goodies with it, it is the 2 soundtracks it brings that are drawing me to it- one of them being in vinyl (i have an undying love for vinyl records) Will possibly be buying the AC-Brotherhood Codex edition for the extra content (and the Beta code). Possibly Fable 3 as well. Will have to see how far i can stretch my money... *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipaul Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 I really like the look of the Bioshock 2 special edition as well and since I can get it for £30, I might well go for it. The soundtrack might actually be good and I love the art style from the game. I am tempted by the Halo Reach Xbox 360, I wanted a new 360 and I'm going to be buying the game anyway so I might as well, it's hardly anymore than buying them separately. Of course it won't be as good as the best limited edition console ever: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I don't think there has been a better designed "Limited Edition" console than the Poke64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soag Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I always tend to go for the limited edition versions of games, cds, dvd's or whatever. Don't know why really I just do *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tales Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 One thing I don't like about LEs is when it's just too much. When I saw the LE of Assassin's Creed on VG+ I was thinking this was something I just had to buy, as I loved ACII and am very excited for the next one. But when I saw the content I'm not so sure anymore. Of course I will buy the game, but I don't know about the LE. I like the extra maps added in game and the detailed map of Rome, but what the in the world should I do with a 1:1 jack-in-a-box? If I throw it in garbage I'm stuck with an oversized box. I could just throw that one too but what a waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I'm not sure if I posted in here before with pretty much exactly what I'm about to say, I'm too lazy to check. I'm not even sure if this contradicts what I may have previously said but here goes... I don't bother so much with limited editions anymore because the slightest inclusion of a figure is likely to send me back down the social destroypath of action figure collecting again. I'm desperately fighting off the urge to begin anew. The slightest tip of the scales will end my fantastic progress and fill my room (again) with dusty pieces of plastic.
