And yet another collectors edition... what a surprise.

So the Splinter Cell: Conviction collectors edition has been revealed.  Anyone thinking of picking this one up, or is it just another waste of money for a few extra stuff and a figure.  Me, I love the splinter cell series but I'm not getting this, maybe if Sam had his goggles, but I probably still won't get this. 
 

I think Collectors Editions are stupid, the only time it seemed like a good deal was when it was like an extra 5 dollars to get Demon's Souls with the strategy guide. 
And now they're putting in-game content in collectors editions, which is even worse than pre-order bonuses. You can't just go to the store and buy a game to get everything, nowadays.

I am not a proponent of collector's editions.  I'm not willing to fork over an extra $XX for an artbook and action figure.  I will buy this game (I can't wait for it, actually), but it will not change my stance on CE's.

I like the statue. I wonder if it's PVC?

At least this collector's edition seems earned seeing as it's part of a franchise. Ones like Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect make no sense to me. Expecting the consumer to pay £60+ for something they've never played before so they can get the game with a statue of a character or something they've also never played before seems ridiculous.

Well, this is really just marketed for people who really dig into the franchise. A regular gamer wouldn't get this, so there really isn't much to complain about. There's always some sort of premium stuff on most things.

I'm a fan of Collectors Editions.
 
I'm a fan of action figures.
 
But that Sam Fisher is awful. No way I'd ever get that.
