Default The main reason behind chosing a particular CE

Hi guys,

I just wondered what the main reason or factor when it comes to deciding which CE to buy next?

Is it because you're a fan of that particular game or series?

The physical contents (Or dlc) contained within the CE?

The exclusivity / rarity of the CE?

Or just influenced by price?

Haha, I preorder everything I can, and then adjust my budget to fit in as many as possible.

I have ones that I preorder because I want the game anyway, so those are at the top of my priorities, meaning, if I can only afford a set amount of the preorders in one month, those will be the ones I fit into my budget first.

If I can't afford all the CEs I want each month, the ones I least want/think won't sell out quickly are the ones that get cancelled xx

well personally i only buy much from the bioshock franchise, then if i see a CE from a game that i like at a good price i buy it, but it dont buy it day one, and others if i see a bargain for a game that i dont really love but i know that its going to be rare, i snatch it.

The main reason to be collecting is being a fan on a particular series and the physical contents. I love assassins creed, tom clancy games and uncharted and that what I mainly collect. Its where you cravings are. Before collecting, I just play a game and finish it. You have to wait for the next game you like to release. But with CE's its like, you beat the game then enjoy your cool physical stuff

I like buying big box CE. Feels satisfied from looking at the big thing I get. Also bargain price CE too.

i'm a sealed collector..for me it's all about the packaging...if the box appeals to me...i try to get it..irrespective of what the game is or if the game is good or bad.

Yes, the relation between price/what you get, is important.
