I kind of agree, Swagman... Ever since I bought Halo 3 Limited Edition, I've been kind of like "Eh...". First off there was the problem with the cases ruining the discs. I still can't use the case because it will crack the disc. I got the Fable 2 LE and wondered what I spent my extra money on... The bonus disc seemed half-assed, as opposed to the Halo 3 bonus disc that I really enjoyed. I got GTA IV LE as a birthday gift, and I ended up pulling the game out, shoving the rest of the stuff back in the lock box and putting it in my closet.

There is one LE I really liked, though. Halo Wars LE came with that beautiful case... It's no larger than the standard plastic case and it is incredibly high quality. The artwork on it is just beautiful. I just stared at the box when I first got it. The graphic novel was cool, and the Halo 3 DLC was an awesome bonus. It's pretty much the only LE I bought that I have never been like "Damn... Maybe that extra $10 wasn't worth it..."

I like collecting stuff and will probably continue to fall into these collector's editions money traps until the day I die.

Some of the worst ever: Half-Life 2 Collector's Edition (retail), Dark Messiah of Might & Magic Collector's Edition

I haven't bought a collectors edition in ages, they better have something cool. Dog tags won't cut it.

A in-game golden shovel that shoots out vampiric hamsters!

This is to keep with the realism of war.

It would be great if it included an exclusive, well-made airsoft pistol (spring one I guess, too expensive to include $200 blowback versions...)

For an extra $20, my collector's edition better come with a lapdance and not some crappy ass making of video or some purty golden weapon that I could care less about.

if you're the type who doesn't play online, then a golden weapon is pointless, but if you play online only, then the golden gun is a major bragging right. assuming they took out cage match and you can't get it from unlocks...

they should include an exclusive weapon, early access to a weapon, a ballistics knife (shoots the blade), and triple XP for the first month of online.

AR-15 is basically a clone of the M4 / M16, so why bother?

AR15 is the base for the M16 which was shortened to make the M4 carbine.

These are a lot of ideas that we have put together over at IW's site. Nothing there is confirmed but 402 has seen the ideas.

$20 over base MSRP is very reasonable. Just hope it stays that way.

So far I've bought only 3 collectors edition games (RE5, Gears 2, and Demigod).

and so far .... I don't feel any happier lol.

Guess I go nuts for cheaply made 6" figures of uber manly Chris and the Rook. Metal game cases are pretty nice to have.

One thing to Activision (that should have been said to Epic) ...

IF YOUR GOING TO RELEASE A SPECIAL HARD BOOK COVER IN CANADA, PLEASE MAKE IT ENGLISH; NOT FRENCH

The posting for a collectors edition for about a month.
I feel like such a nerd because I pre-ordered it before I knew of anything in it.

Speaking of ballistic knives, why not include a real one with the collectors edition.
(You know you want it.)

The biggest thing for me is the size of the stuff that comes with it... I didn't like that the Halo 3 CE was 3x the size of a normal case. The GTA IV lockbox was cool, but it's just kind of in the way now. Fallout 3 CE was pretty large, too.

I think slim aluminum cases are the way to go... The Halo Wars CE is, by far, the most beautiful CE available. It's not larger than a standard plastic case, and it feels like the extra cash went someplace. Halo 2 CE used a slim case, too, but I've never seen one in person, other than on a friend's shelf.

Anyone ever wonder why a collector's edition game needs to be stripped of all of its beauty? Halo 3 CE was the Halo 3 logo on a blue background. Fable 2 was just a grey case with a good/bad character on it... It's very boring. I always love the box art of the standard editions, but the box art never seems to carry over, except in the case of Halo Wars.

-Slim, aluminum case.
-Beautiful artwork on the case.

I want action figures an artbook and possibly a replica of a gun in the collector's edition. I just want some sort of memorabilia for one of the coolest games ever!

some suggestions: i would say a search and destroy bomb case would be cool, but i think they already have the case designed. for all the fat gamers out there, the design would be simple: just the disc, swimming in a crapload of candy. maybe a keychain at the bottom :P.next, a real suggestion, as heard from one of my friends, a golden gun with silencer, red dot, and noob tube.
