The 10 Best CEs of the Last Generation

[Zaku77]

Really hard to say. I'm not sure I could think of 10. I know that the recently released Tales of Symphonia CE (NA version) would definitely make my list, though! I also quite like the Konami Style Premium Package for Metal Gear Rising. The packaging is just incredibly cool. I'm also going to throw in the Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. Full Boost metalpak edition because that is one of the most gorgeous steelbook/metalpaks I think I have ever seen.

I would also put a tie between The Last Story UK CEand Pandora's Tower UK CE. The contents are nice--if not a bit simple--but I really like the steelbooks and the boxes are actually really sturdy, which is a huge bonus that I wish more CEs had. The DoDonPachi Saidaioujou Super Limited Edition also has to be mentioned. It was really expensive, but it has so much content in it. I usually prefer smaller, more conservative CEs, but that one just has so much amazing content. I can't think of a single thing that I would want added to it.

I also quite liked the Castlevania Lords of Shadow CE and the Metal Gear Solid 4 LE. The contents were nice--but certainly not anything spectacular; the packaging is what really makes those stand out. Not only are they small and more conservative, but they are fairly sturdy and very unique, which is exactly what I like.

I guess having conservative, unique, and sturdy packaging is what usually tops my list. I don't like box box CEs, nor do I like statues, so the big, ridiculous ones never do it for me.
