What do you find the most frustrating about collecting

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Something that really frustrates me is how publishers are now releasing multiple CE's for the same title. In itself, this doesn't bother me, but companies like Ubisoft really piss me off when they don't make them tiered! If they're going to release three different editions for three different budgets, then they should at least make the top tier contain everything from the tiers below!


Something else that annoys me is how publishers (again, mostly Ubisoft) release a GOTY Edition or similar edition a year or so after release. For those who hold out and wait, they get a much sweeter game for the same price as others would have paid for the initial release. Fallout 3, Oblivion, Forza 3, Burnout Paradise, and the Assassin's Creed games all spring to mind here!


I also hate how publishers don't actually promote their CE's very well, often giving little to no information as to where respective CE's will be available. Some publishers do, and some are better at it than others, but most don't. It would at least be nice to know if a certain edition is an exclusive when they announce them!

The publisher which immidiately comes to my mind doing this is Topware Interactive. They do the worst ever marketing of their CEs.
