Collectors editions VS normal edition.

[Sixguns]

All depends on the game and what comes with it.

It really does depend. On the rare occasion that a game comes out that I feel I want to purchase, along with the even more rare occasion I even consider the collector's edition I often take a frugal approach.
Most of the times I've found that personally I cannot validate paying extra for some trinket that will just sit around and be packed away eventually.

Collectors Editions are over done. It's not special when there are thousands of them and everybody has them and trying to sell them on Ebay for $5000. Meanwhile it's the normal unheard of games or just the regular games that became classics Look up Chrono Trigger or Earthbound on SNES, no special edition required.

It's like all the people who bought 2007+ GT500s thinking they will have million dollar Barret Jackson cars, lulz.

Even normal edition is overpriced. I wait until the $30 mark. Well, for most games, not all.

I avoid the special/collectors editions. I am not paying $30 more for a game that will be $30 in about 6 to 12 months. And I do not care to pay another $30 for worthless crap that is worthless crap.

I almost bought the Gears of War 3 Epic edition - and I thought to myself; "what will I do with this extra garbage?" I did not have an answer.

For those that love special/collectors editions - more power to you. But, if you notice, on Amazon.com, special editions usually drop in price.

For example, Dead Rising 2 @ $25

Not every SE/CE will drop to these prices, but you don't have to pay over $80 for something like this.
