PC The best and the worst CE you own!

[Lux Æterna]

The title says all!
Explanation needed of course... is it for the contents? Or maybe its the packaging soooooooooo attractive?
And obviously something about its meager counterpart!

I'll start:

Best one: Starcraft II. Love the content and the packaging. Jims Dogtag is AWESOME.
AC 2: BE could have been another choice, but apart from Ezio's fantastic figurine i found the content too poor (eg: soundtrack bound to the dvd).

Worst: Spore: Galactic Edition. Poor of content and the packaging is too common.

Best

StarCraft II - I agree that the quality of the packaging is simply superb, and thematically, it fits in perfectly with the feel of the game's established universe. And yeah, it actually included some ACTUALLY USEFUL items, like a flash drive and StarCraft I (which I hadn't played before buying II)

Worst

Fallout 3 Survival Edition - This Amazon.com exclusive costed $50 more than the collectors edition and basically only added a Pip-Boy clock. What is wrong with it? The clock broke after a few days, essentially meaning I flushed $50 down the toilet.

This question has been asked in the past:
http://collectorsedition.org/forums/...ighlight=worse

But it's good to do an update.

The current worst Collector's editions are:

Need for speed hot pursit limited edition, The normal case with limited edition written on the front cover, only included DLC codes inside.

Tron special edition - The art work was diffeent on the front cover, but it doesn't have a single thing to indicate it was a special edition. Came with DLC codes on a card.

In fact pretty much all the EA special edition with DLC code only that weren't pre-order versions.



The Best ones would be:

Bayonetta Climax edition Austrailian version - unlike the Euro version came with a Fair Replica Gun in one large Box.

Bioshock 2 collector's edition -one of the most unique edition, came with both a CD and Vinyl soundtrack and detailed touches such as velvet for the case holder was very nice

Gran turismo Signature Edition - Wonderful attention to detail and sheer content. All in a very nice unquie shaped black case.

Assassin Creed Brotherhood Codex edition - Sheer amount of content and nice case design.

God of War 3 ultimate trilogy edition - Not the USA version, this one came with the two remastered prequels. Nice box design again with velvet interior.

Starcraft 2 Collector's edition - Contents and box design. USB sticker was very nice

I believe the OP is asking best and worst within the context of PC CE... though I could be wrong...

Oops sorry - I didn't pickup on that.

Best PC has to be Starcraft 2, never had a bad PC collector's edition so I guess I can't answer that one.

Eheh ^^ normal misunderstandings in a Consone-only forum I guess.

Best - Neverwinter Night & all the Blizzard CE

Worst - Medal of Honor Limited edition (this is basically same as regular game with exclusive DLC) Booo

For PC

Best: Id Anthology Collection

Worst: Crysis Special Edition

[Skoolstah]

Best: A bit torn between Starcraft II and WoW: Cataclysm.

Worst: Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. Art cards and a bonus DVD. Couldn't get any more basic than this.

Want to talk about this topic since long ago.

The Best: Most of 2K published Collector Editions, eg. Bioshock 2, Oblivion, Mafia II etc.
The reason - just feel the weight...
The worst: All of standard plastic jewel case package plus a slip case, and with some DLC code - become so called CE. eg. Bad Company 1,2, Red Dead Redemption etc.
The reason - I hate virtual digital contents which would entitle a game as CE

Above only for Xb360 CEs.
