Do you buy collectors ed games?

[Helpful Cait Sith]

I never do but then I fall in love with the game and I wish I did. But I don't want to spend that much cash on a game I never played before! What do you do?

[Milady Chris Lightfellow]

Research.

[Mikleo]

Definitely research.

But the 3 collector's edition I bought, I've enjoyed. Though I knew the series so I didn't have to research much.

[Princess of the Crows]

Even if you try and get it, some are very limited in number and cost a lot more. My KH 2.5 is going to be normal I don't need a pin.

[Odenpa Kunoichi]

Yes I do! I have the CE of Danganronpa 2, several Working Designs games, the Producer's Edition of iDOLM@STER One For All, and quite a bit more.

[RAFAKUN MORRY]

do limited release count? xD

[MrTripStack]

I very rarely buy special editions.

I already don't have much spare cash and I simply can't afford to pay $100+ on a single game, especially when it's a game I'm unsure of. I'm also not crazy about doing tons of research before buying a new game - usually 2-3 episodes of an LP is enough to let me know whether I'd like it or not.

[VHS Glitch]

Depends on the game and content.

[Reno Takamiya]

Basically, I'll buy them if they're in my price range and if the game interests me and overall if what it comes with is worth it. If not, then I'll skip it until I can actually find it cheaper or not at all.

For example, they've all been fairly cheap except for YS: Memories of Celceta: Silver Anniversary Edition which was the most at $50-55 to purchase.

I've got the YS: Memories Of Celceta: Silver Anniversary Edition, Hitman: Absolution Professional Edition, Wild Arms 5: 10th Anniversary (came with artbook) and Persona 3: Edition (Artbook and CD). I've also got the MGS: Essential Collection but that was only games no extra swag included. I also own the Project X Zone: Limited Edition which came with a CD but I never listened to it or put it on my iPod.

Sadly, I no longer have a PS2 (even though I want one again) or the games for Wild Arms 5, Persona 3 and MGS 2 and 3. I'd like the Legacy Collection but that has become rather expensive. I also haven't taken the time to listen or put the music from YS: MoC on my iPod or anything. I also have the Divinity 2: Dragon Knight Saga, which came with a CD/Artbook that has some interesting music and pictures but just like YS: MoC I haven't done much with it.

[XBalmung]

I have bought a few. The ones I still have as far as the entire collector's edition goes are Shin Megami Tensei IV and Ys: The memories of Celceta. Oh...and the LOTR War in the North CE....but we don't talk about that game.

[Tiana Luscinia]

Sometimes. If it's the only version available at the time. And maybe if it has something I want. Most of my Nippon Ichi games are the limited edition. That's because I got them when they were released. None of them were really expensive. I don't buy those $100 super ultra megazord plus editions.

I usually don't care for the extras. CDs I can't really use. I don't have a CD player. I rarely use my PC for that. But I have a ton of unused CDs now. Maybe I should get one.

I have the Wild Arms 5 limited edition with the art book. I lucked out a few years back because the FYE in the local mall was clearing out it's game inventory. I got tons of great deals at amazing prices. I got Twilight Princess for Gamecube new for only $14. whee

It's too bad they put a sticker on the WA5 box. Why do they do that? I think it was sitting in the storeroom for awhile and some of the plastic had tirn. So they put the sticker not on the plastic, but the box. There was still plastic! You didn't even need to put tape on it either. But oh they taped it too. gonk

And I got a Baten Kaitos flag at EB once. It was left over from preorders and the lady just gave it to me even though I purchased a different game.

[A Court of Owls]

If it comes with a cool statue, then yes, there is a high chance I will buy it, even if the game is crap. Case in point, I actually bought the collector's edition for Aliens: Colonial Marines because I thought the statue was awesome. Now, saying that, I almost never pay the full price on them and instead wait for the price to drop. As another example, I waited and got the Arkham Origins special edition set for only $60.00 at Walmart.

[Kyu Kyu]

yes.
mainly because i'm an idiot

[ventti 60 original papers]

I never have. I was tempted to buy one that was a PS3 exclusive game before I bought my PS3, but it had sold out by the time I thought, "Yeah, maybe I'm close to finally buying one."

[Lucht]

I pretty much only buy CEs for games I really love or if I really like the extras. I've bought a few now... I'm always iffy about ones that come with figures because they're not always that great. ^_^:;
