If I wanted to pay $150 to get a hunk of plastic and metal that doesn't have any gameplay value and is a dust collector's item, I'd buy a Wii.
(I'm joking, of course. Thinking of Dragons, too bad that the Wii can't/won't run Dragon's Crown.)

Honestly devs, make cheaper collector editions. I know they are supposed to be bla-bla-bla-yadda-yadda-yadda, but couldn't you simply give me a map(preferably cloth)+Making of DVD(I LOVE those)+Art book, and charge around 70 to 80 bucks for it?

Then I would purchase your collector's edition instead of the regular one. However, with almost triple the price, I'd rather pre-order Skyrim+RAGE+Deus Ex Human Rev on steam, then I'd pay the price of three games and, be surprised, get three games instead of one and a plastic dragon.

The best collector's edition deal I can remember of was Mass Effect 2. It was just slightly more expensive than the regular one(I think 10 or 20 bucks) and came with some pretty good booty(art book+making of+comic book+some in-game bonus).

And thats even your cheap yank prices... I will cry to you again, you pay 60$ for games, we pay a 110$... when Killzone 3 was released here the collectors edition was around, 220$... sometimes I really hate my country... I'd gladly pay 150$ for this, but it is of course gonna be more expensive for me so might grab it on ebay later on.

@aPcNerd

I need a second job to support my gaming habits then, and the best part is that I wouldn't have the time to play anything in such a situation. Bi-winning!

@Gnyf

Geez, that's definitely not good . =/

You live in Australia right?

@Uzeless

A cloth map is a map made of cloth, or "fabric" if you may. Basically it's a map you can blow your nose on, so it doubles as a handkerchief.(this second part was added for promotional purposes only, please do not use a cloth map as a handkerchief) Example: http://www.rpg-ash.me.uk/lotro/collectors_edition/cloth_map.jpg

Oh sorry, ignore my comment. I read your comment super fast and what I saw was: "What is a CLOTH map?!?". It seemed a pretty strange question actually. :P
