The best, and worst, LE's and CE's

[Gemini-Phoenix]

In my opinion, some LE's and CE's are too big. They're hard to store, too big to buy and sell easily privately, and prone to damage. The Assassin's Creed 1 & 2, and Metal Gear Solid IV CE's with figures are prime examples, and to a lesser extent the Fallout III, Bioshock, and Avatar sets with smaller figures. Others, like Bioshock II, Alone In The Dark, and GTA IV are just too bulky or heavy, so again not ideal.

To me, the perfect blend of bonuses and size / weight are things like Mass Effect 1 & 2, Forza 2 & 3, Gears Of War 1 & 2 etc. They're about the size of two or three standard games, and compact enough to send cheaply, but feature lots of decent things such as an artwork book and soundtrack CD and maybe bonus Dvd with added bonuses. SteelBook's are also perfect.
