I recently got my hands on a Sam's Club exclusive bundle of Wing Commander III. This was a landmark release by Origin, and it's one of the grandfathers of modern Collector's Editions. Besides the Sam's Club release, there was also a Origin direct "Premiere Edition," which came in a plain cardboard box.

There's an unboxing of my copy at this video. There's a bit of a retrospective at the beginning of it, so if you want to skip that - the unboxing begins at 4:00.

I remember going to Sam's Club with my parents one day and my dad and I being floored by a display they had setup which included a PC running this game. No one was allowed to touch the computer, but it kept replaying the intro movie every few minutes and was stunning to see FMV for the first time. My family hadn't taken the step into the IBM PC era yet, still had a Commodore 64 setup at our computer desk, so we were very much out of touch with where technology was headed back then.
