I updated the and reset the poll to include Black Ops and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. Cancel your previous vote and vote again. If you change your mind then please vote for something else or just vote for what you had chosen before.

As you know starting with the release of Mafia 2, there will be a slew of Collector's Editions of big name titles released that will be vying for your gaming dollars within the next few months.

  • Which one if any will you be getting?
  • Which one offers the best bang for your buck?
  • Which one sucks?

It's surreal for some reason, seeing them all together like that. I have to say, I really like the figure that comes with Halo: Reach Legendary edition. I'm much more interested in that then even the helmet that came with Halo 3.

I agree with Casey that the Reach CE is sexy but my vote goes to LBP2. I love seeing how many costumes you get for free and you a get a Sackboy plush doll. What more do you want?

New Vegas one is actually funny.

I think LBP 2 is the best of the batch. I really like they include DLC and the bookends is something that I will definitely be using also the sackboy plushies puts it over the top. My preference is usually towards CE that includes DLC since its more likely to be usable rather than unnecessary stuff like making of video, soundtracks  and art books. A sign note I think Fallout 3 CE with the lunchbox and bobble-head doll is way better than what they are offering for New Vegas

you have to buy the CE to get plushies.

places like Amazon sell a bunch of different ones you can get.

   2 packs are $20

some singles are $15-$20

action figures set for $35 if you a fanatic and have $$ to burn.

the one CE that wasn't included on the list was Assassins Creed: Brotherhood Auditore edition since it hasn't been officially announced

I just got Fable 2. Like it, so I may try to get Fable 3. The guy at Gamestop kept wanting me to preorder it.

One of the many reasons I haven't purchased from a GameStop/EB Games in over three years: The sales pressure. :(

I know. I've called Gamestop before to ask them things, and every time I call the first thing I hear is "Welcome to Gamestop, this is (insert employee name here). Would you like to preorder (insert popular game coming out soon)" But I guess they are just doing their job.

Yeah I'm not into Collector's Editions either but since this is voting for the best I just voted for the one which I liked more, not meaning I'm getting it.

For me to buy a Collector's Edition it gotta be something useful, not just some cheap decoration. I understand being a fan is being a fan, but you got to get your money's worth.

Since I'm a GT nut, I'll definitely be getting the GT5 one, but LBP2 is probably the best bang for your buck. It's a pretty awesome CE.
