Default Re: Day One Edition - Three words that make me cringe!

There a certainly been a downward trend of disappointment and lacklustre contents over the last few years for Collector's edition.

I think the real issue is, as a community we are unconsciously classifying it as alternative and more importantly superior version of the game. Hence our insatiable appetite to get it as soon as humanly possible.

This trend started when digital content was introduced as items in collector's edition, that's right we opened up the game to find a piece of paper with a freaking code on it to download a lovely costume. whoopidy doo don't I feel special.

I could just about live with that but what I will never accept is when they started substituting physical content for codes, such as our beloved soundtracks, "kiss my squirrel Heavy Rain".

I'm totally with you on these ridiculous Day One Edition's, it's not even like the discs contain anything different to the games from second print.

If they called it something like "first print" in the same way as books, we could accept it easier.

Once we all accept that just because it simply contains the word "Edition" in it's name, it a collector's item and is worth collecting. We need to be more savvy and pick them up later at rock bottom prices. Because let face it, there a big chance it will always be rock bottom in our books.
