wow! it seems like all the collectors sets coming out now are awesome, these are no exceptions they all look awesome. hopefully gone are the days of like the Ninja Gaiden like collectors editions, that will surely just contain pretty much just a soundtrack, half ass art and flimsy cardboard packaging, buy they release so few that noone realizes how shitty the entire package actually is, yeah sorry I just had to get that off my chest. great thread BTW, much needed

That's what I thought at first but the bookends are chances are crap. I would like to have them and might get them for the 360 to have the game on both the PS3 and 360. The thing is the stick looks to be the better deal as both come with the same DLC. Also I don't think this is the first time that higher version of a game didn't come with what the middle one did.

I put in a pre order for the PC on Amazon.com when I first saw it here on CAG. So for all the people bitching about MSRP can off. Sure we don't usually put up things that are MSRP but SE/LE/CE or what ever you want to call them some times are a deal. I don't think I would have known about it if it was not for CAG.

Anyway I hope it is limited but didn't the guys that did God of War say that the LE for it was "Limited" and it was on sale for 30 bucks.

I want if not for any thing the steelbook. I have not played F.E.A.R. in years. I need to get the rest of them and replay the first one.

For me it is the MK and the Duke Nukem ones. I really don't care about the Infamous 2 bundle as I still have not played the first one. I will play the first one and then if the bundle for 2 goes for cheap I might get it. The Gears 3 and ME 3 are both day one pre orders for me. I have the Limited Editions for the first 2 of both games so the third is really a must.

Thanks OP for this thread as I do need something that will keep me up to date on the LE/CE/SEs that are coming out. Some like the Killzone 3 I will hold off on in hops it does like the Halo ones have done but others I will pick up at full MSRP on them.

I was thinking maybe the pre order stuff could be posted with the stores that have it in the OP along with the price each store is selling it for. Maybe then people might stop bitching about the MSRP thing and with the pre order specials posted one could look in one place and know what places are having what.

Also for the MK game if you get the MK BluRay or the MK2 BluRay you get a code for Jade however I think it is only for the PS3.

Pre-ordered the SOCOM bundle! I can't wait! I've been looking for a move and navigation controller bundle and I'm excited for SOCOM so this is perfect! I'm surprised they didn't do the same bundle with Killzone 3.

Any thoughts on the Killzone 3 helhast edition? It tooK all I could to mentally get past the halo 3 helmet debacle but overall I am glad I got it. I can see a lot of people being hesitant feeling the halo 3 residual on this one.

Im waiting, I am pretty sure it will drop like a rock. I think its already on sale for $109 at meijer should be around 6 months and I think it will be around $75

This.

As a full-on Collector's/Limited Edition whore, I absolutely love this thread (and the UK limited editions thread). Great addition, thanks OP.

After some debating, I'm in for a pre-order of the MK Tournament Edition. I'd love to have those bookends from the Kollector's Edition. Hopefully those will be available on the cheap at some point.

Looks like Duke Nukem is sold out at GameStop now too. :(


EDIT: Actually, nevermind. The link in the original post just didn't work right.

That link doesn't work either... for some reason, CAG's referral system screws up GS links.

Here is the link, maybe just put underneath they will need to copy and paste it into their url bar to get it to work.

wondeful
now i can complain here

Thank you OP!

That being said,
All these CE suck for what they are offering at such a high price.

They don't all suck. the Socom one you get $220 worth of stuff for $150.

PS Move Controller: $50
PS Move Navigation Controller: $30
PS Eye: $40
PS Move Sharpshooter: $40
Socom: $60
All for a buck50.

Thanks for making a topic like this. Didn't know about the Socom one and it's a pretty good deal. If that one isn't limited like the MK TE, then I can wait and hope it'll get lower. On the other hand, I'll be getting MK TE, hopefully anyways. I like collector editions that include stuff that I can use, in this case, arcade sticks and move controllers.

The SOCOM bundle's a great deal considering you're saving $60 - $70 minimum!

The MK TE is a bargain as well since you're getting a $60 game + 2 DLC + wooden joystick (w/decent arcade parts) all for $150. You're basically getting the joystick for $90. If you were to place an order for a wooden joystick w/Happ parts from a quality custom arcade builder (Arcade-In-A-Box & others from SRK), it'd cost a minimum of $150 - $160 AND there's a 2 - 6 week waiting period once you place your order. Not saying this is better since it's not released yet but those builders don't include the subtle touches such as cushion on the bottom (more comfy when playing on your lap if that's your thing) & has an internal storage area. So ya, this is a good deal, LOL!

Only thing craptastic is that both of those are released on the same day so there goes $300 in one swoop! BTW, Amazon has release date shipping on SOCOM & it only cost me $0.99!

I 100% agree. I wish all these CEs or LEs came with Steelbooks. Especially the CEs. I mean they are called collectable, and a collector's item shouldn't come in a plain vanilla blu ray or DVD case, the same as the regular editions. Just common sense to me! Which is why I dont buy them unless super cheap. Or at all since I usually don;t care for the chotchkies. I want actual game content and a steelbook. Is that so hard to accommodate? Yeah, i am being a whiny bastard right now...a little drunk too...my apologies.

thanks for making this thread ssj, I was hoping someone would do it...I get tired of people always saying "no deal...msrp" when I read the CE threads, so maybe this will cut down on that a lot. I hope that you can find the time to keep it up to date for us! Loving the SOCOM bundle, perfect time to try out the move.

Well I decided to preorder the SOCOM bundle. I'm not sure if I'll keep it or not, but figured I'd preorder it now and give myself a while to think it over.

I agree. I also got Gears of War 1 and 2 collector on release day.
I only wish MK came with a steelbook.

Do u know what comes in ME3 and GoW3 collector edition?

I don't think the ME3 CE has been detailed yet. Was looking for it a few days back after getting all giddy talking about it in this thread
