If you've been a gamer for a while, a little thing called the "Collectors Edition" probably won't be that foreign to you.  These are the extra special editions of games where publishers bundle in extras or packages them in fancy boxes to entice buyers to pay extra cash for essentially the same item.

Most Collectors Editions tends to be a simple repackaging that throws in an extra mini-strategy guide or an art book.  But somewhere along the line, Blizzard comes on the scene and throws down Collectors Editions worthy of legend.  And this time, their Collectors Editions were actually limited in stock and fully numbered so it would make sense to collect one.  If you don't believe me, search and see how much a World of Warcraft sealed Collectors Edition will cost on eBay and you'll understand.On the other end of the spectrum, you get the Halo 3 Legendary Edition, which at first glance seems very awesome.  A replica Spartan helmet that doubles as storage for your game and extra content, how could this not be a success?  At $150 MSRP, Microsoft thought all Halo fanboys will want this piece of history so, in their infinite wisdom, they decided to produce over 300,000 of these, which in turn caused the market to be flooded with plastic Spartan helmets.  Needless to say, retailers were less than happy to see their precious rack space taken up by this gigantic piece of junk that no one wanted.  At its lowest point, you could have purchased the Legendary Edition for 50% less than the actual regular edition of the game by itself!  Epic fail, Microsoft, epic fail.

So the question this week is, "What Do You Think of Collectors Editions?"  Let us know, vote and leave a comment!
