FireHazard51 | 2,052 Social Team · Posted July 18, 2023 Author Share Posted July 18, 2023 In general I'm a stand edition kinda guy. But like all of us I will buy the "special" editions for games I REALLY love. Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabonga | 2,337 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 A lot depends on what the extras are - throw in a cloth map and I am hooked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves | 11,830 Administrator · Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I get the standard edition 90% of the time. I really don't like the odd shapes and stuff of CE's. And in terms of resale it's like... keep everything including the weird nonsense that's not even in the box or else you'll have a hard time reselling if you choose to do so.

Hammerfestus | 3,882 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Standard. I don’t think I’ve ever purchased the collector’s edition with the crap before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,584 Editorials Team · Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Standard 99% of the time. Last CE I bought was probably Dark Souls back in like 2011 or whenever that was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link | 2,727 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Standard, unless the extras are useful or otherwise specifically appealing to me. Breath of the Wild illustrated this well. The Explorer's Edition was great, with a very nice book. The higher end versions, with a Master Sword statue, console carrying case, "collectible" coin, etc., not so much. The "weather worn" map included in any extra edition, at the size and quality was pretty disappointing. But the book was great and it was nice to get an actual extensive manual in exchange for my patience. I'm hoping that will be repeated with TotK. Obviously I'm going to get it no matter what at some point, but I am hoping for a price drop and/or respectable extras for Black Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarzombie | 927 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Depends. If's a remake of something I love, I'll get the biggest. But if its something new I think is cool, I go with standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickman | 4,013 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Standard the majority of the time. I don't have space for all those big box CEs and a lot don't really have appealing items to me (although that horizon one looks awesome). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgamer | 4,753 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I think for the homebrew stuff I was originally going for CE - then there was the whole Project Blue Famicom fiasco , still don't have it yet as being a LE, there's still parts and stuff waiting to be completed. From that time I started recognizing CE for what they were, namely overpriced sets containing a lot of useless Chinese crap to add to the price. It just lost all appeal and now I'll go regular edition. The only exception would be if the stuff actually were neat and useful, like books or soundtracks or something. But stupid coins, stickers and plastic fire extinguishers? Wtf, who needs that garbage, and to make it worse, no one would even dare use it due to collectors mentality, making it even more pointless and wasteful. Save a tree, don't buy CE.

Reed Rothchild | 9,584 Editorials Team · Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I forgot about a few exceptions. Stuff like La-Mulana and the Prinny Pack didn't even get standard releases, so I have the giant boxes. I'll probably dump them if possible and stick with the game only. But who's going to be buying if everyone's in the same boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,125 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 If the “depends on” answer isn’t allowed than I’m usually a CE kind of guy for retro and standard edition for current gen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kguillemette | 1,547 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Standard. Nearly 100% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeldaFreak | 3,618 Events Team · Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 It entirely depends on the specific game. it's not a one or the other choice. Most of the time standard, so I guess I'll go with that. A lot of the time I'll get the digital special editions or whatever of newer games if it includes like a season pass or any extra in-game content. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My super expensive Horizon: Forbidden West edition included an empty steel case and a digital download code for PS4/PS5. I mean, I bought the thing for the giant ass statue which I wasn't displeased with detail of. And yeah, there is like 5 other items that they just threw in that I could careless about.
