Default Re: Collector's Editions and their Territories

I think it's probably to do with making it fair for everyone. UK/US/CA get a lot of CEs in general, so it's not like they're missing out massively (in the companies' eyes) if an edition is to be announced, exclusive to another country.

Smaller countries, or countries less accessible to us get exclusive CEs as, just as they are unaccessible to us, WE are unaccessible to them (in general, not like through this site). So they get their own CE to get a sense of fairness.

Also, I don't mean this in a bad way, but poorer countries such as Poland (where the wage rate is much lower than that of the UK for instance) get their own CEs to be in level with their wages, so they can have one they can afford. For instance, the Dead Island Survival Kit, which was Polish, was FULL of content. Yet only cost the equivalent of ?40. That was a STEAL to all of us in the UK/US/etc, as we were getting the game at the normal price, but all the extra content "Free". To Polish people, ?40 is still a few days wages (compared to that being a days wage for Allan, who is on a low paying job for the UK), so they still see it as value, due to the amount of content, but within a price range that if they really want it, they could afford it.

That's just how I see it.

Although I do hate sometimes how other countries get exclusives, which makes it harder for me, I totally understand why it is xx
