In the last few years, many companies have begun to sell a collector’s edition for some of their big games. Microsoft’s Halo 2 had one, as does the more current Lost Planet from Capcom. Usually they contain a nice metal case, a DVD filled with exclusive content and maybe another miscellaneous item. All of this comes with a $10 price increase over the regular version. So if you buy a Collector’s Edition PS3 or 360 game, you will most likely spend $70 for it.

So what say you, videolamerians? Are you excited that companies are doing this, supplying even more content with their games for a small price, or do you only see companies bleeding their customers’ wallets with useless “behind the scenes” footage that was probably edited in an hour?
Personally, I couldn’t care less about a collector’s edition. I just don’t see the value in it. I’m sure that at some point down the road someone will want to buy it off me to fill their ginormous games collection, but for right now, those things are just an excuse to waste $10. → I only ask one thing. Don’t read in my way.
