...and the list goes on and on.:p

 

Alright, so we're trying to compile a list of all the Collector's, Limited, Premium, and Special Edition games and strategy guides. I'll also be adding the Platinum Hits, Gold editions, and Game of the Year editions ONLY if they have extra or bonus content that the original version doesn't. I can't seem to track them all down. I love collecting these and I'm sure others do as well. So this will be a nice referral for most. Please make sure to do your research first. I have not listed if certain components or editions are region exclusives.

 

If you know of one that isn't on the list please let us know! Only include basic information. Art Book, Bonus DVD, Soundtrack, Tin, etc.

 

***Note: Content can vary from region to region.

Alright, so anything I've been linked to a PAL gaming site, I have listed as exclusive for that site unless someone states otherwise. Without further adieu, here is my updates:

 

Iron Man - Game Exclusive - Steelbook

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith - Special Edition Aerosmith Les Paul Faceplate

Soul Calibur IV - DLC (U.S. Only)

Removed Quake 4

Bourne Conspiracy - Gamestation Exclusive - Tin, Art Booklet, Pen

Edited Alone in the Dark (GAME exclusive)

Bourne Conspiracy - HMV exclusive - Audio CD, DVD

Battlefield: Bad Company - HMV Exclusive - DVD, Tin, In Game Content

 

Also which region had a limited edition of Enchanted Arms? mine came with an artbook and a cardboard box that the game came in, but nowhere was it displayed as a limited edition, just that thats how it came, and there was no news articles about a limited edition of the game.

 

Because there's a normal version that's just a box and then there's a version where it comes in the special slip cover and the graphical novel. There's two separate versions.

 

and which region had a metal tin for stranglehold?

 

Don't know because people don't like to tell me.

Can anyone please tell me which ones i still can and can't get? Because i am trying to build most of my collection with limited editions of games. Also is there any way i can trade in normal editions for special editions?

 

These are special edition games. If you could always purchase them, they really wouldn't be "special" would they? I know some of the UK ones can still be purchased through gamestation or GAME from the links people sent me but if you're in North America, they don't sell them brand new anymore. Your best bet is getting them via eBay or EB Games/Gamestop used games section. That's how I have my little collection (I only have 13 at the moment).

Having bought the alone in the dark spec ed, I can tell you this:

The box is nice ,the cd actually comes in a PROPER jewel case, the DVD is ok, the book is nice...

the figure is cheap plastic, no weight to it, not impressive at all.

Hey guys, don't know if its technically a special edition but If you get Ace Combat 6 from Game in the U.K. it comes with a carboard slipcase and has codes for a few extra planes. Also if you guys are looking for special editions second hand shops are the best bet, my girlfriend works for a company called CEX and they regularly get special editions in, their website has mail order too. Hope this helps :)

They also released a Game of the Year edition of Oblivion which contained both expansions, The Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine, on a second disc. Not sure if it's exclusive to certain stores or not but I purchased mine from GAME.

It's not exclusive, i live in Estonia and got mine from some store here.

I just found out that a Collector's edition of Resident Evil 5 has been announced. Not sure what is in it. It is $89.99, so it should be good (I hope it contains a extra disc with some of the old games, but I doubt it).

 

And don't forget there is the Amazon exclusive limited special lancer edition gears 2 that comes with a replica lancer.
