Howdy from Uk

Howdy.

I'm not really very good at these things, but I'm Manda from the UK.

I've been into games ever since I was little, but not managed to get many collectors edition until I met my boyfriend, who manages to provide me with extra money and incentive to get games we can share.

I particulary like CE's with artbooks as I hoarde artbooks from Films, Games, etc and justify the cost as 'work related', as I'm an Animation/Illustration student!

I don't have a very large collection, mostly AC, Dragon Age, and some Jrpgs.

I think that's about it for now. Hi

Hi Manda, yep i love CEs with artbooks especially the full size volumes - some of them are amazing. I guess the PC is a good collecting area for the large volumes. I have a Warhammer Online CE with two full-size books and they are absolutely outstanding.

Sometimes on ebay sellers put up the artbook seperately. I've picked up a couple of US ones - a lot cheaper than buying the whole Collectors package if you only collect PAL stuff. Anyway, worth keeping a look out for

If you like artbooks, take a look at the Skyrim CE and the Assassins Creed Revelation Animus Edition. Skyrim with a really nice artbook and ACR with a beautiful Encyclopedia with some artworks!

You're right. The Animus Encyclopedia is first class - i got mine on friday and wasn't impressed with the overall package . . .until i opened the book. Stunning

Wasn't willing to pay the asking price for Skyrim but hope to find one down the line a bit cheaper

I'm betting that you already have them, but for what it's worth, the Crysis 2 Nano Edition and the Bioshock 2 Special Edition had amazing artbooks.
