Also I love any additional books like lore books, novels, dev diaries.

Secondly, the box itself, I love them. I like sturdy, thick cardboard boxes with unique boxart. I'm not necessarily a fan of very big boxes, I prefer smaller but very solid boxes (like Spore) that can be easily stacked together without breaking, and especially compact boxes with good bang for the buck, like Far Cry Primal.

+1 to all this. God there is nothing I hate more than those potal card sized artbook in a collector edition. It feels cheap and not collector at all. and I also love a well designed but sturdy box
