My favorite is Alan Wake. I just love how that game was packaged and whenever I look at my collection that's the one that keeps impressing me with its execution.

My least favorite is Stranglehold. It's just so.....blah. And extra disc and different cover art? We could've had so much more! Even Tron and Avatar went the extra mile.

My favorite find has been a brand new Fallout New Vegas CE at Gamestop. I walked in to my local store and the guys there know me pretty well and one of them came up to me and said he had something set aside for me. I walked to the back of the store with him and he showed me this brand new, non gutted, sealed example of Fallout. He knew I was looking for it and they just received a shipment. When I asked him how much, I was absolutely floored. $30! Snatched that right up!

The dark horse until last week was Red Dead Redemption SE. I ordered it from 4 different vendors on Amazon, each sending me the standard edition. After a few months of looking around, a fellow CAG saw my signature about my love for SE's, and he messages me out of the blue saying he's got one for sale! Score!

My current want is Assassin's Creed. Every one I come across is missing something or way too expensive.

How about you ladies and gents? What's your SE collection look like?
 
Lol I don't like shelling out money for LE's but to make everyone feel better about thier collection...
I have Halo 3 limited, Resistance 2 collector and Perfect Dark Zero collector (cost like $5 lol). My favorite game out the 3 is Halo 3, my favorite case that came with them is Dark Zero and my favorite extras were in the Halo 3 one. Really the only reason I buy LEs or CE are for the steel cases and for that reason my overall favorite is Perfect Dark. Halo 3's is in meh condition.
 
I haven't gotten my hands on the Alan Wake CE but I do love the Fable 3 CE. The book look to it is really awesome and I've seen pictures of Alan Wake being similar. I don't have too many CE but I was so excited for Batman AA CE and it was...lack luster with the batarang. Batman AC looks promising with the statue though. Good luck on your quest.
 
118 is what my Google Spreadsheets tells me but that's including a few special editions which really aren't special.. like the DMC3 Special Edition or Pokemon Special Pikachu Edition (they're counted because they have "edition" in the title). If we're talking about editions which actually contained some physical extra, then I'm guessing it's closer to 100 or 110. Then again, I've got a cabinet full of sealed games and a few of those are special editions, none of which are counted towards that total...

Favorite is probably Lunar Silver Star Story Complete since it was my first.

Least favorite is RE5 or SFIV since the extras are complete garbage.

The one I really want is Mass Effect. I'm still kicking myself for selling my sealed copy soon after release, thinking the series would never pick up.:bomb: How's that for funny?
 
This is what I got out of my spread sheets. It's entirely possible I accidentally glazed over a thing or two though.

Pics? I guess I can handle that tonight. What do you want pics of sir?

And I know you have an insane amount of games. Any CE's in your stash?

You made me look up the ebay prices on Mass Effect since when I bought it shortly after Mass Effect 2 hit it wasn't that bad..... yeah now it is.

I mainly wonder how people organize their LECESE.

I pretty much only put aside the big LECESE stuff aside, and things that fit on the shelf just stay with the other games.

I don't have a huge amount of LECESE though tbh. Maybe like 20-25 in total over all the systems, so I'm definitely not anywhere close to you and the others in this thread. :*(
 
I've got photos from another thread that I took to show how my CE's are organized. These photos don't include the Catherine Deluxe Edition or my lowball winnings that showed up today as I haven't integrated them yet. And I apologize for the basement photos. The shelves won't work with the upstairs decor and the basement is in the midst of a mancave remodel, so they must stay in the basement.
DSC_0002-1.jpg

That shows all of my oversized boxes and swag on top of the shelves with the smaller swag and the oversized boxes that fit on shelves(Fallout 3 and New Vegas) on the first shelf. The remainder are entered into the bulk of the collection along with the jewel cases for the oversized boxes for completion's sake. Here are closeups of the shelves so you can see what I mean.

since ive been broken into twice in the last few years Ive had to replace quite a few. I have fallout, fallout NV, AC brotherhood, alan wake, dead space 2, two worlds 2, bioshock 2, dead rising 2, halo 3, halo wars, and halo reach.

At one point and time in the past I had the following but they were stolen and unable to be replaced. CoD MW 2, CoD black ops, mass effect, mass effect 2, fable 3.

there isnt many left that id really like to have other than replace what was stolen, argarest war zero would be nice but im waiting for price drops, magna carta 2 and tales of vesperia would be neat also.

as far as future games, I plan on getting gears 3, warhammer space marine, and maybe a few others by years end.

Nice LECESE set up :D

You definitely got way more big LE's than I do. :3
 
Only own 3. Catherine Deluxe, MvC3 SE and just recently Modern Warfare 2 Hardened Edition. Found it for $10 at a Pawn shop, and it's in "decent" condition for that much.
 
wow. everyone has so many LE/CE.

I have a small LE/CE collection :(

Gears of war 1 and 2 (gears 2 rc car)

Fallout 3 CE

Fallout new vegas CE

Perfect dark zero CE (got at gamestop for $2.99)

Marvel vs capcom 3 SE (pissed at capcom releasing another one)

bioshock 2 CE (love the posters)
 
I have Star Wars Force Unleashed Ultimate Sith Edition and Alan Wake LCE. Passed on Perfect Dark CE at a garage sale for $5 a few weeks ago.

I would have Force Unleashed 2 CE, but I didn't know you had to pre-order early. So come a week to launch I was floored to find out I couldn't pre-order it. Kinda glad I missed it though, because I heard the flash drive that came with it was buggy and it was incredibly hard to get to the extra features on it.
 
If you want the Force Unleashed 2 CE just look around at some different stores. There are quite a few stores around here that have them sitting around for $40 - $60 dollars. Amazon also has them new for less than MSRP

It might be hard to find in stores but it's very easy to find online... Amazon had it on sale last year for $40, which is when I snagged it. Of course, I regretted that decision because they recently had it for $30.
 
I don't do much online. The only way I buy off Amazon is using Gift Cards. I know one store near me that has it used. But really, I have the regular version, I beat it once and rarely ever play it, and with all the games coming out this year, I would feel silly buying something I'm kinda interested in for Collection's sake when I could be saving for stuff I really want. But thanks for trying to help. It is appreciated.
 
You've been on here since November and you still don't use amazon? I think you need to spend more time on the site haha =P
 
Well, like I said I can only use Amazon gift cards, because I don't have a credit card or paypal I can use (I just turned 16). In fact, I don't even have a job yet (first interview on Sat.). So it shouldn't be a big surprise. Plus I've gotten along pretty well using Game Stop.

Who knows though. Once I have a stead flow of income, I might be able to set up a way of using Amazon. How exactly can you pay on there? All I've ever used is a gift card.
 
Ah, I didn't realize you were so young. You can use a debit card, so as long as you have a bank account, which I'm sure you'll be wanting if you get a job, you're golden.
 
If the extras weren't so meh in the Catherine LE I woulda likely grabbed that from Amazon for $80, but the way it is now it's looking like it's like every other 'limited edition' and not really that limited since Amazon still hasn't sold out of it.

Albeit every GS and other store that supposedly was going to carry the LE that I stopped at yesterday had either ZERO LE's left or only one and that was spoken for via pre-order already.

Maybe if I had a ton of shelves to display the extras from it on I might think differently about it, but where are you really gonna display a pillowcase w/ Catherine on it, a cardboard pizza box, a t shirt with big pink or red hearts that says empty on it and a pair of boxers that I believe also has either pink or red markings on them.:lol:

MY GOD! can you adopt me? for like 1 day.. :lol:
 
Hah. I used to have roughly around 1300 DVDs about 3 or 4 years ago and I had a log book that my friends would come in and borrow movies from me and it's starting to get that way with my games too. The book was called Corybuster Video.

So you can come on over any time and borrow what you want, however if it isn't returned, I get to break your knees. Deal?

Your business seems to favor paraplegics. I'm not okay with this.
 
Mine is pretty damn simple, but a CE has to be WAAAAY cheap for me to be interested. Also I'm going to leave out all the rhythm game bundles I have from the list too (Rock Band, Donkey Konga, Beatmania, etc.).

Soul Calibur 4
Splinter Cell: Conviction
Stranglehold
Street Fighter 4

As for favorite I'd probably say either GoW2 since the preorder bonus of the tank was a nice touch. That and it was all $70 MSRP on launch, which is always a plus over $80. The other being Alan Wake because everything in there was packed full of stuff and made sense like the Alan Wake files.

I Don't know why, but I hate Dead Rising 2 CE the most though. Mostly at the thought of them charging $80 for abunch of folded paper on the first day and even at $30 it felt kinda like a rip off.
 
My 2 favorites: (Both are imports too!)

I had been searching for one of these forever. The faceplate is so awesome :D

I do have 2 copies of the Premium Edition steelbook as well. 1 Sealed and 1 opened. I will post pictures of those two later tonight after work. I love those as well. So I guess it is 3 that I have that are my favorites. ;)

Korean LE. Only 1000 made. I haven't seen one on ebay since it came out. My parents got this for me when they were in Korea visiting our family. I had to stay and work :razz:. This thing is beautiful though :D

:lol: I'm still waiting for my mint/complete copy of Metal Gear Solid back from my one buddy, who swears he 'knows where it's at'. Only reasons I'm not at all mad about it is I think it cost me $1.99 from a thrift store and I don't really like the Metal Gear series. I only wanted it back when I was still trying to amass a collection of games.

He also still has a $2 Civil War book I got from a thrift store and a bunch of novels I lent him years earlier. I know I'm never going to see them again and the only reason I don't care on these is that now they're dust collectors at his house as opposed to here.:lol:;)

:applause:I too wish they had more than just DLC crap in many of these SE/CE/LE version games coming out now.

A perfect example of what I felt was a pretty damn good SE was the GTA IV one. You got a real metal lockbox(with keys for it), a keychain, a dufflebag, a soundtrack sampler CD(but they never released a full fledged soundtrack set for it:whistle2:#) and the artbook for the game.

At least if I'm going to pay $20-30 over the MSRP of the standalone version of the game give me something tangible I can use or admire.

I might have a couple more floating around. I really need to sit down and update my spreadsheet.
 
I'm just thankful I made the decision to only collect :xbox: and :360: games, otherwise the scope of my SE collecting would get WAY more out of hand than it is.

I imagine I'll branch out eventually, but as for now, I'm Microsoft's bitch.

Yeah, but buying every single SE for one console is just as bad as buying half the SEs for two consoles.:p
 
Trust me, I know. www.collectorsedition.org has been the bane of my existence since I found it. Every game I'm missing is up there.

The one thing that's absent and most likely will stay absent from my collection are sports games though. I have ZERO interest in them.
 
I've got a couple coming in then I'll post all of mine. Still on the fence as to whether or not I want to get killzone 3 for $50
 
I updated my CE count and removed all non-CEs that were counted before (due to having the word "edition" in their title) and including the few I picked up (Bully PS2 Special Edition being the sole highlight), the official count is 123. A lot more than I thought.

[quote name='NaturalHatTrick']Ordered KZ3 HE for $30 at GS today. :)[/QUOTE]

Damn, I paid $80 for mine and regret it... not because it's a bad CE, but because I could have paid so much less.

I'm pretty much done with CEs now. I'm now re-thinking the Uncharted 3 CE. As much as I love the series, these giant CEs take up too much space.
 
What do you all think on the Skyrim CE? Every single other $150 CE has taken a huge dive within a couple of months of release. Think this one will be the same?

Even if it does become rare, I doubt it'll be limited enough that enough people will buy it at $150.

Those CE seemed to be more worthwhile for $150. Skyrim's CE is a slap in the face.
 
I dunno, the statue is awesome, and that's a damn nice artbook. I think it's more worth it than the ones for Reach and Killzone.
