I too like a good box, but it is a passing and frivolous like as boxes are never being displayed (at least for me). For me it is like seeing the logo on the inner foam... I like the touch of detail but really it means nothing in the way of what it means for the future of the box/foam.
And it is unfortunatly the case. I don't buy collectors edition anymore unless the memorabilia inside are crazy high quality and justify the price. but if it comes with a small artbook, I usualy pass.

Statues for me. But as we all know CE statues are hit or way miss. Overall they have been doing much better lately though (with the quality of their statues).

I used to love the statues but these days, I'm usually happy with what is essentially an upgraded standard edition. These usually include a steelbook, special packaging, DLC & maybe 1-2 smaller extras (postcards, mini artbook, etc).

These editions are generally the middle of the road, ie 'special edition' or 'limited edition' where the 'collectors edition' has the same stuff but includes a statue or figurine.

I make exceptions though with some games, (ie Dark Souls) and I would like to see more genuine limited editions with numbering so you know how many are actually made.

For me it's about the statue or figure, I like having that memory on the shelf. I do wish the US would get more of the unique CEs that I see across the pond. It's not worth a considerable amount but one my favorites has to be the Japanese Dark Souls CE with the wooden box full of replica weapons. I recently purchased it from Misterunboxers and have received many compliments already. It's very well made and looks great. I really like the statues and figures but the quality and attention to detail in that CE is top notch.
