Halo 5: Guardians

[Luminous]

I am usually a sucker for Collector's Editions, but I managed to stay away from both the Legendary Edition of Halo 5 and the LE console. The lack of a disc and the price of both made the decision a little easier.

Ridiculous that the steelbook can't even actually hold a disc. I picked up the Limited Edition version which comes with the a disc and the metalpack can actually hold it (imagine that).

Imagine that. A game that actually has a holder for the disc itself. What is the world coming to?

Thankfully, I am just not into the limited editions for 99% of the games I buy. The quality of the collectibles just isn't high enough to spark my interest and with most of them, you can wind up finding them 6 months later for 60-75%+ off. The only 2 I have purchased the last 4-5 years running have both been Borderlands games. I got the The Borderlands special edition that came with the small trunk/chest and the Claptrap edition of Borderlands The Handsome collection that came with the remote control Claptrap. And I do have the Fallout 4 SE on preorder, but thats about it for me.

I keep hoping that more developers will take the high quality collectible approach, but very few have ever taken that plunge. For example, I would love to see a Mass Effect: Andromeda special edition that came with a high end replica weapon from Triforce and was limited to a couple thousand copies. I would buy that in a heartbeat. Higher quality art books would be nice as well.

That is actually exactly the kind of thing I am talking about. Of course the first game to really do this and its only available in the UK, lol. Anyways, this was what I was talking about. I really hope we see more SE's like this in the years to come. The market for quality replica weapons is so limited as it is. This would be a great way to introduce more replica weapons into the market as every game has at least one cool weapon that they could use for such an edition.

I knew the way things have been going (higher and higher LE's being made available) that this type of thing was an inevitability. I just hope they sell enough to make it successful.
