Reader Discussion: What Is Your Favorite Collector's Edition Ever?
Last week, we gave you our picks for the best collector's editions of 2015. The list is varied and features titles from multiple genres and publishers, but the games all have one thing in common: they have the potential to drain your bank account with enticing bonuses.
Expensive collector's editions are nothing new, however. I have fond memories of unboxing some of the greatest collector's editions of the past decade and finding a spot for the bonus pack-in items. I have my Halo 3 Master Chief helmet prominently displayed in my apartment, and I went out of my way to hunt down all of the Mass Effect and Gears of War collector's editions even though some of them were quite pricey. Even though I never splurged on any of them, I also love all of the collector's editions of the Batman: Arkham series – at least until the Arkham Knight collector's edition was unceremoniously canceled due to quality issues with the Batmobile.
Which collector's editions stick out in your mind as your favorite? Are there any you regret skipping? Does your favorite collector's editions coincide with your favorite games?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
