I'm as amped up for Mass Effect as the next guy, but quite honestly, I could do without a collector's edition of the game (and every other game expected to sell more than four copies). That is, of course, unless it contains a sweet Krogan limited edition statue. Unfortunately, that's just not the case at all.
Those who shell out $69.99 for the Mass Effect Limited Collector's Edition will snag a book, Galactic Codex: Essentials, which will presumably be a streamlined race, character, and story index. You may or may not be able to get that information here, but don't tell anyone. Additionally, the package also ships with an art book, A Future Imagined, and a 2nd DVD with exclusive Mass Effect videos (Art of Mass Effect, Interactive Storytelling of Mass Effect).
The limited collector's edition should complement Prima's $34.99 Collector's Edition strategy guide quite nicely.

And naivety shows weakness.
And weakness will get you attacked by wolves and other large predators.
Oh, and you could have used that extra money you wasted to buy a quad patty burger.
Did you just say "buying a coupon"???
Next thing you know Madden 09 and Sonic and Mario at the Olympics will get collector's edition boxes.
I hope I meet someone in my lifetime who owns something that stupid, so I can laugh hysterically while gasping for the breath to tell him what a gullible consumer whore douchebag he is.
This, does not.
Yeah, a coupon. The manager just came back from his companies yearly convention in vegas and a bunch of vendors and gaming companies give away free stuff. He came back with copies of games to keep or give away like Heavenly Sword, Lair, and Jeanne D'Arc and some coupons for free games that weren't out yet like Halo 3 Legendary (which my friend bought from him for $70) and Mass Effect.
@JonDarkwood
Zelda:Twighlight Princess, Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, God of War 2 and Metroid Prime 3 all have Collectors Editions of their strategy guides so it's becoming more prevelant.
(side note: Apparently Prima Guides offers 1 free guide to store managers a month and that same manager that is giving me the discount on Mass Effect is going to get me the Collectors strategy guide for free. I'm telling you, become friends with your store managers and you get hooked up.)
I don't know if I like Mass Effect's art enough to bother with the limited guide though...
I agree about LE games though. They always contain "books" that are like 8 pages long. If the Mass Effect strat guide is cool I'll get the regular version of the game and the Limited guide...
I've wondered the same thing. Atlus does it, but not really anyone else.
