Limited edition choices?

Despite working my socks off, money is NOT in overwhealming supply at the Boss household. Choosing which game to get in Limited/collectors edition is a decision that takes much thought. Especially at launch.

And with this year being such a busy year in gaming, its a been a tough call so far.

Mass Effect 2 was a no brainer. And Fantasy 13 was an impulse buy fueld by the awesomeness of a good day. Im actually thinking of possibly selling FF13, its just not getting the play time. Next up? Possibly Splinter Cell: Conviction. But most likely not at launch, the money just isnt there. I am however really looking forward to the game.

Straight up buying Limited/ Collectors edition at launch is a stupid idea when poor. But sometimes the inner gamer just takes over. Im pretty sure Im gonna ride out the rest of the year via rentals and pre-owned Limited/Collectors Edition, which without a doubt is the best way to go about the over priced world of gaming.

Games on the Edition list-

Alan Wake, SC: Conviction, Dead Rising 2 and prob more that Im forgetting.

How bout you guys? any Editions so far or coming up?

p.s. heres a picture of my easter egg which is just laying on top of a shelf waiting to be eaten. It has been a busy weekend!

I very rarely buy Special/Limited editions since they rarely have things that appeal to me. Ive bought the Fallout 3 Lunch Box edition (it was only slightly more than the normal game and it had an art book and making of DVD) and the Mass Effect 2 LE/CE since it had an art book and a comic. I cant remember many other CE/LE's that I have and in the case of Fallout 3 im not even sure why I got it, Mass Effect 2 I got because I love the universe and couldent pass up an art book since I love the Art Book of the first one (although ultimately I was dissapointed due to the size of the ME2 art book). In the future I cant see getting many more CE/LE's since I tend not to buy games at launch and they usually dont have extra content im interested in.

If it's a game I'm really hyped up for I'll go all out and get the special edition, but damn, I never use those night vision goggles that came with the prestige edition of MW2. 

I will probably get the limited edition of Halo: Reach.  Other than that, I will have to see what they offer.

I don't have any limited editions. I don't have that much money, so I rather buy more games than fewer limited ones :) I can't wait to finish my studies..
 
And I want your easter egg!

 Prestige Edition motherfuckers!

Personally, I'm really fed up with Limited Editions..  If a big game series puts out a good collectors edition, that's fine.  But we see so many run of the mill games these days come out with versions that cost £10 more and come with nothing but ingame items or valueless pieces of crap. 
 
Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age and Final Fantasy XIII are perfect examples of this.  All games that are celebrated enough to deserve good CE's but were all utterly terrible and sit on store shelves months after release because they were mass produced and nobody wants them, until they're sold off for lower than the regular game price.
