Does anybody specialise in current gen variants ?

[kennyrh]

Apart from Collectors Editions I also collect variants - mainly for PS3. Just wondered if there are any folks here who specialise in variants so i can compare notes.

What do you mean with variants?

[comaamen86]

variant [ˈvɛərɪənt]
adj
1. liable to or displaying variation
2. differing from a standard or type a variant spelling
3. Obsolete not constant; fickle
n
1. something that differs from a standard or type
2. (Mathematics & Measurements / Statistics) Statistics another word for variate [1]
[via Old French from Latin variāns, from variāre to diversify, from varius various]

or diffrent consoles

I assume he means different versions of the same console(s) whether it be regional (PAL vs NTSC etc.), version (I.E. 20 gb phat xbox all the way up to new 320 gb slims), and more importantly limited edition consoles and packages (i.e. GoW xbox or infamous PS3 bundle)

Granted I doubt anyone collects all of those variants but I think that's the general gist of it

Could be wrong of course :think:

[kennyrh]

No sorry guys, I didn't explain myself very well.

I should have said game variants . . .e.g. an exclusive sleeve or a dlc variant, different cover - that sort of thing.

Obviously all Collectors and Limited Editions etc are variants but i'm mainly concerned with more subtle game variations.

[SwiftDeath]

Ah wow total swing and a miss for me then

For some odd reason I thought you were talking about consoles

But yeah people on here most certainly collect different variants of CE's/LE's for the same game

assassins creed 3 has a variant cover for the game that is exclusive to GAME UK...i have my eye on that one..just waiting for price drop. also epic mickey 2 has a different cover in north america as opposed to europe.

If I understood the question I would probably say no
I collect 4 franchises
A TPS gears of war
An RPG Fable
A racing Forza
And Assassins creed
Plus one standard edition of each console

:offtopic: that is why i got mosavan to close my intro thread so i could make a proper one with everything i collect properly categorized and pictured
but first i need to sort my room out as 3/4 of my collection is in storage
:offtopic: some more; i`m hoping to get a bioshock set of CE`s and that new statue with the flag
yep i collect fable currently trying to hunt down a fable 1 collectors edition (not seen 1 ever) and forza 1 collectors edition (only seen 2, 1 french and 1 english)

[kennyrh]

forza 1 collectors edition (only seen 2, 1 french and 1 english)

There's a CE of Forza 1 :scratch: ???????

Do you have any details :drool:

I only have a pic of the front cover
It is a big box one like a cardboard box with the game inside
No idea what else is in it
As the last one I saw was French and the guy did not speak English
Its at least 2 DVD cases thick maybe 3
I AM owning the next one that turns up on eBay even if I have to buy it in a bundle of 40 games

Never seen a fable one CE though and can't find details in the internet I might contact lion head as we know they will have one
Same goes for Forza and turn 10

[geralds]

From my understanding most variants are included with Ce of the game. There is only one American veriant i know of that did not come from the Ce and that is cathern the walmart edition had what they called an edited cover.
