Limited/Collector's Editions Thread

^Also, what is BUZZ doing next to such an epic masterpiece?!

NiI'm reading reports of the MGS LE arriving rather, umm, damaged.

Mine's damaged inside! The poor quality and design of the box means that the book and games move about. Along with the crappy stickerbook this is not a great purchase.

[rapidly-greying]

360 version jock? Some folk still think ps3 buyers will be getting stickerbooks after the first 4000 steelies.

For the record,i got a steelie and a mint condition box. Not that impressed with the steelie though,theres not even any inside artwork ffs.

For those that are curious, I've taken some photos of the FFXIII-2 Crystal Edition and MGS LE contents.


Back: Crystal Edition box & sleeve (even the plastic inside the box is decorated with feathers)
Middle: Art cards, t-shirt & art book
Front: Game, 4-disk OST, holographic card


Far left: Collector's Edition guide (I bought this separately)
Right: Pre-order bonus pack which I got with the Crystal Edition, consisting of steelbox, art cards, and Episode i booklet



Top: Limited Edition box (sadly, some of the card on the inside is damaged on mine too, but not too badly)
Bottom: Huge hardcover art book, t-shirt, steelbox, game


I have to say, the MGS LE is a little disappointing. In comparison to the the FFXIII-2 CE (which was only a tenner more) it feels a bit lacking. The MGS steelbox feels cheap, and the inside packaging is poor (thus the damage), although I have to say the art book is awesome.

The FFXIIIIII-2 one is nice actually. How much though?

Nice to see an OST coming out here. Pity the score isn't wonderful like past game in the series but hey ho.

Was the Crystal Edition of Final Fanatsy the one that was available to pre order through Game & Gamestation?

[ShadowNeku]

That crystal edition is a fantastic set. By the time i even knew it existed it was already sold out everywhere.

I paid £79.99 but you could get it a bit cheaper elsewhere. I wanted the pre-order bonus stuff too which was exclusive to GAME.

Yeah, there were a few other online retailers selling it too. Amazon & Play also had some if I remember correctly.

They went like hot cakes! So glad I managed to bag one.

Decided to stick some photos of the Limited MGS HD Collection on the 360:

It a really nice set, just a shame the cardboard is a bit flimsy - mine took a little dink on the front which is hardly noticeable. Worth the entry fee for the amazing artbook though and this stickerbook looks nicer than I thought it would.

God the green Xbox logos ruin everything.

Negativity about tiny things is more distracting

Have to say that the MGS LE box looks really flimsy and cheap and I'm not impressed by that sticker book for the 360 version either. Surprised that such a big-name series didn't get a set of much higher quality that this.

[James A]

That box looks like something you'd get a cake or some Donuts in, not impressed one bit.

[GigaPepsiMan]

Looks worse than the street fighter 4 limited edition. That Final Fantasy one is great though just a shame I don't play the newer FF games.

Phew, so after Soul Calibur V LE and MGS HD Collection LE last week this Friday brings Catherine LE! What a busy month.

Anyway, I put unboxing vid of the MGS HD Collection up here:
