Buying collectors edition after already owning the game?

Post by jfe2 »

I've been playing Fallout New Vegas for the past month and have really gotten into it. I'm sort of kicking myself for not getting the collectors edition in the first place, but now that I'm 60+ hours in, I'm finding myself wanting the useless poker chips, platinum chip, caravan deck, and graphic novel. I found it for $45 on Amazon, but I'm on the fence since I already own the normal version of the game.

Anyone else ever bought the collectors edition of a game after already owning the normal version?

I kind of stopped caring about special editions this gen since just about every game has them nowadays.

A really nice artbook (not one of those 7x5 books with like 10 pages, it's a huge hardcover book and was genuinely a pleasure to thumb through), a sampler cd with songs from the OST, a DLC voucher for Kenshiro's original costume, and last, but not least....

That's worth it.

Just once.

I had Triggerheart Exelica for Dreamcast, but then later I got the PS2 special edition that comes with the Nendoroid figurine.

I did that just recently: I already had SimCity 3000, but I bought SimCity 3000 Unlimited since it had extra features. That's the only time. If I want a special edition, I usually make sure to buy that version in the first place.

Seriously though, I actually used that thing for a good month or so. The very first time I used it, it tore me out of my slumber. It scared the shit out of me. You can also set it for Raoh or Lin (Roah does his usual shtick and Lin does her trademark Ken scream).
