I've got a ton of guides, but it seems that "Collector's Edition" guides is only a recent thing as all of my guides from my pre-360 days don't really specify that.

For CE guides I've only got a few (including some that are en route):

- Fable III
- Batman:AC (Catwoman)
- Tomb Raider

I may have more, but would have to look through the bins!

CE guides have really started to take off since last fall or so but have been around for a while

We had a discussion in another thread somewhere about the earliest collector's edition guide

My requirements for it to be a CE guide are that there has to be at least 2 different unique variants

I.E. it's not a ce guide if ALL copies of the guide are CE guides

I believe the earliest found was a Diablo II guide with a unique cover art on it so 2000???

That conversation starts here: http://collectorsedition.org/forums/...790#post130790

And continues for a little while

Thanks for the tips! Yeah, I've been collecting guides for years, guess I never paid attention until recently though that they started becoming "CE".

(Also, I don't make it a habit of necro'ing threads - this one came up in my search for something and didn't realize it was a bit dated)
