I'm trying to think of the last CE I bought and thought "Hey, that's really nice - worth the money !" It was probably the Bioshock 2 CE.
Don't get me wrong here because i really DO like Collectors stuff but it seems to me that, as collectors, we're not really being treated right of late. There have been some major CEs both this and last year but i always have the nagging feeling that there's some issue or other that's kinda taking the joy out of it these days.
Obviously the lies about the "limited" nature of the Loot Chest is overshadowing things here just as it did with the MGS HD LE. Then there are all the online distribution issues and pricing concerns and quality worries and so forth and so on.
I just can't shake the nagging suspicion that I'm being continually fucked over by corporate arseholes who couldn't give a tuppeny fuck about "collectors" per se. Sort of riles me when i think of all the cash i've put in . . .and not just me, of course.
Which leads me to wonder if i won't be secretly glad when the digital download age finally dawns on us. Certainly I'd be happier if all the "special" editions were just like the Dark Souls LE - nice artbook, "making of" DVD and a CD soundtrack . . .all for £40. I'd be happier with that than all of the dicking around with fucking god-awful figurines and backpacks and all that sundry shite.
Anyway, just a few random thoughts . . .
