Are complete edition really special

[twistedsymphony]

for the most part I include everything except "regular editions" or re-releases with nothing different other than price point such as "platinum hits" releases.

the intent is that people are informed about what exists out there outside the realm of the regular release.

there was a debate quite some time ago as to whether or not we'd add titles like this to the database... ultimately it was decided that as long as the included content was different than the regular edition release it would be included.

I agree that a lot of these releases a pretty lame and not at all "Collectors Editions" but on the other hand there have been dozens of "Limited Edition" releases that are even more lame by comparison like the recently announced LEs from EA.

but yes, if you're wondering what the criteria is... anything with content beyond what came with the regular edition release gets to go into the database.
