Hey everyone, this has been bugging me for, well, 364 days now, and I just thought I'd get around to asking others about it now. 
  
To be clear, I'm referring to the  SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content. 
 
When I picked up the Collector's Edition, the first thing I did was install the game onto my hard drive. While I was waiting, I decided to take a look at the included art book. 
 BAM. There it was, staring at me with its cold, spoiler-filled eyes. I swear, I could have cried. 
  
But I learned my lesson. What about you guys, did this happen to you? Or, unlike me, was this not the first Collector's Edition you decided to buy, and you already knew not to look inside? 

You're spoiler tag doesn't work, but if i assume you are talking about the 
 

Instead of being pissed, you should ask why were the Collectors doing it? 
 
And see where the game leads to. ^^ 
 
Spoilers are everywhere. Accept them, and roll with it.

Then no, it wasn't ruined for me. 

Collectors attempt to make a giant human essentially.

No. As far as the art book goes, I've learned from past experience that there are usually spoilering concept art and the like in them, so I waited until after to look at it.
 
I will say that I liked the concept art better then the final design, though.

I usually try to avoid reading critical info about a game until it's intended to be revealed. I feel like, because there wasn't any mention of it before, that I missed out on what should have been a big revelation for the player. "

I make sure not to look at art books or similar Collector's/Limited Edition content until I've beaten the game. It sucks that it was spoiled for you, but now you'll know not to look through an art book again before beating a game, so at least you sort of gained something from the experience. :P

That sucks man.

Well, it didn't get spoiled for me but I still rolled my eyes at the sight of that lame terminator thing. Such an amazing game, but such a weak-ass final boss. 

 "Seriously... You expect them to not include awesome art of everything in the game out of the risk that someone getting subjected to spoilers? "

"at least you sort of gained something from the experience. :P "

First rule of collector's editions: never flip through the art book before you finish the game.

 You don't want spoilers but you looked inside? Where's the logic in that? "

Thought it was really stupid, so I guess so?

It was one of those rare occasions when I got nothing spoiled for me, thankfully. Sucks to hear about your situation though.
