[Gemini-Phoenix]

I would like to openly state that I believe that out of all the companies in the industry, the three which stand out as understanding their fan base and collectors the most are Capcom, Square-Enix, and Bethesda. All three provide fantastic fan service to their loyal fans, and give us exactly what they know we want, unlike companies like EA who still just don't get it...


Whilst I understand that it's a very profitable business model to release several different editions of your product, I do feel as if some companies are devaluing the meaning of the words "Limited Edition" and "Collector's Edition". Obviously some CE's are high quality and stand out from the crowd (Fallout 3 "lunchbox", Bioshock 2 CE, Uncharted 3 Explorer Edition etc), but others just feel cheap and give the impression that they were rush-released in order to milk as much cash from the consumers as possible (Ie, nearly every LE or CE released by EA in 2010 / 2011)
