Mine was Halo 2 Limited Collector's Edition, technically it's not a SteelBook though

My Wife's (girlfriend at the time) boss bought everyone in their office a copy, I loved the metal case so much that I decided to buy all of the metal case games for Xbox 1... which eventually came to include Doom 3, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, and True Crimes NY... I carried this into the 360 generation with Perfect Dark Zero. When Oblivion was announced I decided I would expand to all CEs, not just metal case ones... and soon after that I decided to open this site since I couldn't find any good online resources for CE games.

May I ask why your wife's boss bought everyone a copy? Does she work in the gaming industry? xx

Halo 2 Limited CE

I am actually having a tough time remembering what my first ever CE was... I may have said it previously on here (like when I first joined as that's when I started collecting roughly) but I have no idea now, all my purchases seem to have merged into one!

My boyfriend's first ever CE was Gears of War 2 Limited Collector's Edition, but that was before he collected, he just had it years ago so it's not in the best of condition - we keep meaning to pick another one up, but something else always catches our eye xx

No, she works in an animal hospital. She just has a cool boss who buys great gifts for Christmas bonuses. A few years back he bought everyone Uncharted Bundle PS3s, and this year he bought them iPad 2s.

Wow, her boss does sound cool! Fancy getting me a job there and I'll fly over? I kid xx

Hmm, now there's a question!

My initial response would probably be "Halo 2" off the top of my head, but if I really think about it I am sure I must have had some kind of LE or CE before this, possibly for the PS2...

However, I'm old enough to remember various SNES CE's in the stores (Super Metroid and Zelda: A Link To The Past, for example). I also vaguely remember passing up the FFVIII and Metal Gear Solid CE's, and also the Lylat Wars big box, as they were far beyond my budget as a teenager at the time, so I know I never grabbed those

I'm thinking it may actually be The House Of The Dead II with the official Dreamcast gun. I can't think of any special LE's or CE's that are older than that, although I have since bought many older ones more recently (such as the Grand Theft Auto Limited Edition with sountrack, sealed)
