Best CE of the year #1 - Sonic Generations



Best CE of the year #2 - Disgaea 4 Premium Figure Set



Best CE of the year #3 - Skyrim


I absolutely adore statues/figures. Can never go wrong with those.
I know many didn't like the Skyrim one, but I like my Alduin figure. I think it's badass. ;A;
Also bonus points for artbooks.

Worse CE of the year #1 - Atelier Totori



It wasn't that bad, but just... lacking? I did get it from NIS America, so I did get the poster.
I don't know, maybe I was hoping for a little figure or keychain like they did in Japan for Atelier Meruru. I guess it's because they gave me so much with Disgaea 4.

Best Steelbook and Strategy Guide - Batman - Arkham City


I ♥ Catwoman so this steelbook was a must have for me. Didn't manage to grab the matching game guide, but the Batman one is still really neat.

Best Limited/Special Edition Console - Gods of War Xbox 360 Console


Because it's pretty!

Where is Duke Nukem forever balls of steel - collectors' edition?




Everything inside felt cheap (the poker chips vs say Fallout ones for example)

[ingmar1988]

Best:
1. Uncharted Explorer Edition, statue and box are very nice. Also very limited, which is good.
2. Skyrim CE, best artbook in a long time and i think the statue is very nice (maybe little bit overpriced though).
3. Resistance 3

Worst:
1. Modern Warfare 3 hardened edition, a really big box which pretty much only contains a steelbook and a small journal.
2. Dark Souls, disappointing versus demons souls le.
3. Batman, although i think the statue is nice, and the price was good (got it for 62 euro day one). It sucks the game is inside the artbook and not in a normal ps3 case or steelbook.

Best Steelbook/digipack
Uncharted 3 pal, very nice and original with pages full of artwork.

Best Strategy Guide
Skyrim

Best Limited/Special edition console
Zelda themed 3ds
