Ok, so i've found my list of UK PAL DS LE's and CE's
1. I would like to ask where we stand in regards to certain releases which come in unique packaging with peripherals, but which aren't available as standard editions?
These include:
Active Health With Carol Vorderman - (With Activity Meter pedometer)
Easy Piano - (With Slot 2 piano peripheral)
Pokémon HeartGold - (With PokéWalker pedometer)
Pokémon SoulSilver - (With PokéWalker pedometer)
Walk With Me - (With 2x Activity Meter pedometers)
Personally, I would liike to include them, as they are of significant interest to collectors, and may be spotted out in the wild without their respective packaging or peripherals (Eg, plenty of Pokémon HeartGold's & SoulSilver's on eBay without the PokéWalker)
2. Rhythm action games with Slot 2 peripherals
There are four games which I know of which come with and without the Slot 2 peripherals:
Band Hero
Guitar Hero On Tour
Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades
Guiter Hero On Tour: Modern Hits
3. Games which come with special pre-order tins.
Pokémon Platinum - Standard edition of the game with a special pre-order tin from HMV. Game and tin were sent separately due to a manufacturing cock-up, but the standard edition does fit inside the lined tin in its entirity
Zelda: Spirit Tracks - Standard edition of the game which is included within a larger tin along with two figurines. This was a GAME pre-order bonus, and the game comes shipped sealed inside the sealed tin
4. CE's exclusive to a specific retailer
Below are a few CE's and special bundles which were exclusive to a specific store or retailer here in the UK, but where standard editions exist
Ben 10 Alien Force: Vilgax Attacks (Tesco exclusive) - I believe this edition contains a Ben 10 watch
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 (Tesco exclusive*) - Unsure on contents, but I believe they are similar to the console CE's. *Notable as the only DS CE of this game, as ShopTo.net didn't bother with the DS release
Tinkerbell & The Lost Treasure (Argos exclusive) - Comes with a book
Wall-E (GAME exclusive) - Comes with exclusive lenticular cardboard slipcase
There are also three Toys R Us exclusive bundles which I can't seem to find my notes on - Perhaps Gurpswoo1 could help me out with these?
One is a Peppa Pig bundle, another is a Ben 10 bundle, and the third I can't remember (I believe we had a discussion about them over on SGH?)
5. Actual LE's & CE's!
Here are the rest of the actual LE's and CE's:
Bakugan: Battle Brawlers (Special Edition) - Comes with a Bakugan battle brawler
Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force (Collector's Edition) - Comes with console skin, stylus, and 2,500 in-game coins
James Cameron's Avatar: The Game (Limited Collector's Edition) - Includes exclusive Mattel Avatar collectible glow in the dark figure of Tsu'rey, and extra in-game weapons
Luminous Arc 2 (Collector's Edition) - Comes with soundtrack CD
Spectrobes (Collector's Edition) - I believe this comes with some code cards for use within the game, and a mini guide [Citation needed]
6. Forthcoming DS LE's & CE's
So far I am only aware of one forthcoming CE for the DS, and that's
LEGO Ninjago (Collector's Edition), which comes with a free LEGO Ninjago mini-fig, and a bonus Dvd
7. Addendum
In addition to the above listed games, I would also like to include another item.
Club Nintendo recently had a promotion where if you registered all three
Professor Layton games before a certain date, you could claim a free presentation case for all three games, thus forming an unofficial Professor Layton trilogy box set.
I think this is of significant interest to DS collectors, and deserves to be included somewhere in the database as they may appear rarely on eBay as a trilogy set
