Its obvious nobody but nerds and geeks will buy any collectors edition, so its just curiosity
It's only a matter of time before the 'Curious' become 'Buy Curious' though Barty my boy.
And then what have you got? A bunch of useless crap taking up space, that's what.
Still though, all the collectors editions that are coming out nowadays are a bit annoying. There was a time when a collectors edition just meant a nicer box and a thicker manual with some extra crap you wouldn't read anyway. Nowadays though, they give away all sorts of crap with games. Helmets, Night Vision Goggles, Batarangs. And truthfully, it's all getting a bit nuts.
I can just imagine some deluded nerd rolling around his back garden wearing a Spartan Helmet. Then he hears a noise in the darkness... So he dons his night vision goggles to get a better look. Then, with the flick of his wrist throws his Batarang which stuns the neighbours cat. Or in Lim-Dul's case, throws his Batarang to stun his next victim
Speaking of Lim, I haven't seen him in a while. Where is he?
I'll tell you something though, there is one Collectors Edition I would buy. If Half-Life 3 came with an Authentic Gordon Freeman Crowbar, I'd totally buy that. Day one baby!
Anybody need any crates or vents destroyed? Any headcrabs jumping around you want disposed of? I'm your man.
