Limited and Collectors Edition thread

[casterofdreams]

Ok so collecting games are very rewarding, we get that. There is a thread about future collections which had our thoughts on what would have a rise in value as well as what would be a good idea to collect next (or something along those lines). So now I heavily play games from this generation and I strive to get the CE/LE versions of the games I wanted to buy to begin with and I have quite a few. I also open mine because I want to enjoy them so I know I’m taking a hit but I don’t mind.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_vi ... d_editions

This link has all or most of these variant releases. So the thing I’m trying to get at is which ones do you have and which ones you aspire to get. Note: there are some like Metriod Prime Trilogy that isn’t here that I consider a collector’s edition and other games that Atlus doesn't officially label it as a collector's/ limited edition.

Let’s begin:

Batman: Arkham Asylum (360), Metroid Prime Trology (wii), Bioshock 2 (360), Call of duty: Modern Warfare2 Hardened (360), Fallout 3 Collectors (360 , Mass Effect 2, Halo Wars, Halo 3 Legendary, Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (360), Grand Theft Auto 4 (360), Resident Evil 5 (360), Fable 2, Persona 4 with soundtrack and art book, Persona FES with soundtrack and art book, Luminous Arc 2 with soundtrack and art book, and Knights in the Nightmare with soundtrack and art book.

What I want to get:

Gears of War 1 and 2, Mass effect.

So which ones do you have?

There is another aspect of looking for Limited and Collector Editions.

Different versions in different countries. Not only language and different box cover art, but actual changes in game play.

See some differences on ICO here, scroll down post:
