1. The outer packaging should be aesthetically pleasing, since it won’t be opened, it has to sit pretty on a shelf.
2. The packaging itself should be sturdy enough to survive being handled by couriers, with some worst than others out there. Any damages to the edition is a big turn-off to a majority people out there, and it also greatly decreases the value.
3. The Interior contents should be exciting and relevant to the game itself. The contents that comes with the edition should be a fair value in relation with the retail price.
4. Physical items are always better than digital items, like DLCs.
5. The rarity of the edition is very important, too many ones out there are overproduced. The more rare an edition is, the more exciting it is when you have one in your hands. The edition being numbered would be a big bonus too.
I’m sure someone that likes to open their edition and appreciate what comes inside would think 3 is more important than 1.

I like your analysis. Point 2 is a big one for me.
