I would much rather the money go into the main collector piece. If I want the soundtrack and art book, Ill buy the lower end special edition. Trust me, the vast majority of people like myself, that are looking for a truly high end collector piece in a special edition, are FAR more concerned with the quality of that piece than they are getting a bonus soundtrack or cheap art book thrown in as well. All that does is add to the cost and ultimately take away resources from the main piece. Again, if those lower end collectibles were my focus, I would just buy the lower end special edition.

Don't get me wrong, I love art books but only if they are at a certain level quality wise and the art books that are included with special edition games are far below that level. If they were to create a higher quality art book for the higher tiered SE's...well, that would be a different story and I would be all for it but only if the cost of the book was added to the price instead of taking away resources from the main collector piece. In other words, if they want to add a high end art book and charge an additional 50-75 dollars instead of taking away money from the main piece then again, I would be all for it. I just don't want them taking away money from the main piece so they can throw in more stuff, especially if the stuff is nothing more than the lower end collectibles from the lower tiered SE's. That shouldn't be what a top tier SE is about. Make an amazing collectible and I guarantee people will be perfectly content getting just that item. Again, the new Bioshock is a perfect example. If they created a top tiered SE that had a gun replica that was on par with the Gears of War Cog pistol from Triforce, I guarantee people who purchased it would be 100% content with their purchase. They wouldn't be sitting there, staring at their new replica gun, feeling disappointed that a soundtrack or cheap art book wasn't also included.
