Default Re: The Worst Collectors Editions you have ever seen

while those recent "LE"s from EA are garbage... I think that ANY CE that costs $0 more than the standard edition should be exempt from being the "worst" unless somehow it's worse than the standard edition...

with that said here is the list of my biggest let downs:
-Fable II LCE = we were promised all kinds of cool stuff, ended up being a slip cover with a DLC code... LAME

-Stranglehold CE = $15 over the standard edition got you a crappy behind the scenes DVD and a metalic ink on the cover art that should have been in the regular edition... Xbox 360 owners paid the same price as PS3 buyers but the PS3 buyers got a Blu-Ray copy of the Hardboiled movie... seriously couldn't they have thrown the DVD in there for the 360 peeps... further screwed since Europe got this in a steelbook too.
-Tony Hawk's Proving Ground LE = another crappy slip cover with a crappy bonus DVD thrown in the case for way more $$ than it's worth.

-Call of Duty World At War CE = $20 over the regular edition got you a stupid unuseable flask and a DLC code similar to the recent rash of LE games. Sure it came in a decent tin case but everything else about this CE was total rubbish

-Transformers: The Game CE = yet ANOTHER crappy slip cover with a crappy bonus DVD, at least this one is somewhat rare.

Batman Arkham. I was pissed when I found out the Baterang was plastic.

I also agree with this. The flask is nothing more than a trinket, and for the additional cost (The PAL version was also considerably over-priced), the least you expect is to have something which is actually useable in real life. Not that I would ever want to use it, mind you, but that's beside the point! At least the tin was a nice touch, but many people have said that the tin is easily dented and the plastic slipcover is brittle and cracks easily, especially on the corners...
