Co-Optimus Community Voices for November 2011 - Collector's Editions

Sound off or show us your favorite collector's edition

It's the fall gaming season and every game is vying for your hard earned dollar.  With so many games to choose from, already at the exuberant price of $59.99, why would you drop $99, $130 or even $150 on Collector's or Special Edition of a game?

Because it's shiny, that's why.

It seems every big game these days is getting a collector's edition, even if it's not an established franchise.  Whether it's Lord of the Ring: War in the North, Gears of War 3, or Otemedius Excellent - everybody wants a bigger piece of the gamer's wallets.

Tell us why you think collector's and special editions are a waste of money
