    Collector's Edition

    Concept »

    Limited editions of games that include extra "perks" like Making of DVDs and a nice and shiny tin with extra box art

    Do you think the "in-game" bonuses that collector's editions offer should also be available as DLC?

    I don't see why not, you're paying the company either way. And DLC also allows the extra money to keep coming in even after they stop producing the special edition version.

    Yeah, it's totally lame when people that preorder get something in-game that no one else can ever get. Preordering games is pretty risky in general, so people shouldn't be punished for not doing it.

    @TheGreatGuero:  
    Fully agree. I also think it's lame that if you pre-order from a specific store you'll get exclusive in-game bonuses. On the other hand I have no problem with collector's editions. I thibk it's prefectly fine to charge extra for a bonus dvd with special features and/or game soundtrack, though sometimes they are crappy as in the case of the first Assassin's Creed game. That collector's edition was... 

    LAME!!!!!

    I'm not a fan of in-game content for collector's edition. To me, that doesn't add to a collection. I like shirts and figurines.  
     
    But on topic, yeah. I think a few months later the content should be released to everyone.

    @Mordukai: Yeah. Also, I tend to think most collector's editions aren't worth the extra cash. I mean, really. Sometimes you get cooler box art, but I've never really seen anything too cool. I did like the GTAIV special edition bundle because I actually use the Rockstar duffle bag for carrying around games and controllers, and I use the lock box for stashing some extra cash. At least those items are practical and aren't just going to sit around and collect dust. I also think Modern Warfare 2's night-vision goggles could be really cool, but I don't know if I'm going to preorder the game just to get them. I'm concerned the quality of them might not be too great, but I'm still thinking about getting it.
