Do you buy "limited edition" games?

Anything that is gaming related that doesn't fit well anywhere else

I also have a few games that are bundled with a soundtrack, so I am not sure if they count:
Raiden IV
Oh yeah. I have these as well. I'd say Raiden IV copies with the soundtrack count.

Fable is also one of my favorites. They threw in a lot of extras this time. You get the case that looks like a book, the good/evil decision token, a deck of cards, and a code to unlock a town that is ideal for settling down with a family. I also got the hardback guidebook and the novel "The Balverine Order" that has a code to unlock yet another gun. I'm really looking forward to this game if you can't tell.

I usually pick up limited edition rpgs, otherwise I tend to pass. The new YS will be my next pickup

I usually pick up the limited editions if I already know way before it comes out that I'll love the game. With my experience, limited editions aren't usually worth the extra 10 dollars or so, unless like I said...maybe it's one of your favorite games/series.

I agree, look at the bonus material closely first

Oh I have one more I forgot about. I have the Korean PC LE of Magna Carta - Phantom of Avalanche which I actually bought for the art book.

Did they port that one to english at all, or do you just go through the game wondering what they are saying?

When I first viewed this post, was thinking limited game play versions as in Dreamcast Sonic Adventure Limited Edition. If the add ons don't increase the cost too much then yes, I'll buy a Limited Edition. Game has to be very special to buy a deluxe wallet and space robbing fat box.

In the Interim, I also bought the DC 10th Anniversary Sonic 2 Edition.

When I got it, I believe someone was working on a fan translation, but honestly I bought it for the art book and I haven't touched the game. I have since picked up the Oxide x2 art book and would probably let the LE game go for the right price if someone was interested.
