Only a review of the Collector's edition

"To be honest, this is your standard mill fair collector's edition.  It isn't worth the amount people are trying to sell it for.  If it would have come with a figurine then I would have given it a full 5 stars."

This is the exact same thing I said for Bravely Default's collectors edition and it seems like square enix decided not to up the ante at all. The only thing that changed is that we didn't get AR cards and the artbook is much bigger than the last one. We still get a mini ost instead of the full ost which they will sell separately later on

While there is no stopping dedicated fans from getting the DMC4 Collector's Edition, it is not the best limited edition box I've purchased and I don't recommend buying this one. All you really get is five music tracks and four anime episodes. Yeah it is a nice box but I think Capcom could have done a lot better.
Behind the scenes/making of DMC4? Nope.
Extra in-game content? Nope.
Kind of a ripoff? Yeah pretty much. Unless you're totally a diehard fan with lots of money, just get the standard edition.

There are a lot of other reviews griping about the lack of 'new' content (and the omission of some old), but right on the back of the book is a chart detailing exactly whats new in this edition.  22 new color pages.  53 new monochrome pages, and 16 pages that were upgraded from mono to color.  It even has a chapter by chapter breakdown of this information that shows where the new material appears.  Now in all fairness to other reviewers I haven't done a panel by panel comparison since I haven't read through this since about 2001 (when my OG Dark Horse edition was lent out and never returned), but at least Kodansha is making the claim that there is new stuff here.  Maybe someone with both editions (or even an original Japanese edition) might be able to use the chart to compare between editions editions and verify the claims of 'new'.  But I will leave that detailed analysis to someone else.

I do have gripes with this edition though and they mainly have to do with the paper quality.  Namely, the paper is very cheap.  Definitely a step up from the pulp that manga is usually printed on, but has significant paper grain visible.  Maybe I'm spoiled from the super glossy stock that Marvel and Image are printing on these days, but I feel like a Deluxe Edition of Ghost in the Shell deserves better.

The ESPN 30 for 30 Collector's Set Blu Ray [Blu-Ray] (2011) is not the same as the "Limited Edition Collector Set" in the DVD format as described in the Editorial Reviews of both products.  The Editorial Reviews for both are verbatim the exact same.  I had purchased the Limited Edition Collector Set in the DVD format as a gift for my son.  A couple of days after I had received the item, I received an e-mail from Amazon about the Blu Ray version.  When I compared the product descriptions, ie., the Editorial Reviews, it appeared to be the exact same product only in Blu Ray.  I returned the DVD format and ordered the Blu Ray.  Upon receipt of the Blu Ray version, I was terribly disappointed!  It does not include the "collectible box" & the "retro ESPN hat featuring the company's original logo".  I don't know who's at fault, but I'm not a happy customer!

This is a perfect Collector's Edition for an astonishing price! I haven't checked out the special features yet but I'm sure they are incredible. If you like this film, I definitely recommend you pick this DVD up!

Let me start by saying that I love Myst and its series and cannot wait to get my hands on this game. I am sure that Presto has done a great job with this game and if you disagree then you have yet to see the screen shots and theatrical trailer. The question to ask though is which version of the game to buy: this collectors edition, or the regular version. The collectors edition is the exact same game as the regular version with some value added extras like the strategy guide and the soundtrack. Now these are nice extras but is it really worth it?
I was leaning towards purchasing the collectors edition until Amazon cut the price on the regular edition and is giving free shipping on that version, which they aren't doing yet on this one. Now hopefully that will change, but if it doesn't we are talking about a nearly $30 difference between the two. Now some might say that the extras in the collectors edition make that difference worthwhile, and if you think so then go ahead and buy the collectors edition. But from my vast computer game playing experience I can tell you that while the game guide is nice as a reference in case you get badly stuck, every gaming website on the net will have the same information on it within days of the release of the game.
Unless Amazon cuts the price and offers free shipping on this game I reccomend you buy the regular version instead (which Amazon.com has the best price I've seen for it, so far) as long as you can live without the extras and are web-savvy enough to look up game play hints on the web (but if you are reading this you probably are).

If you are the kind of Harry Potter fan that has to have everything, then you probably have considered purchasing the Collector's editions. This Collector's Edition is very similar in binding and looks to its predecessor, Sorcerer's Stone, and markedly different from the last two Collector's Editions, Order of the Phoenix and Half- Blood Prince. It is my honest opinion that if you are looking to invest in a collector's edition of any of the HP books, the first two are the most handsome and display- worthy. The "Box set" feel of the latter two Collector's editions are lovely, however the bindings are no different than the Hardcover editions (although the dust jacket artworks are unique to the collector's editions). The first two Collector's editions are a leather binding, with gilded page edges and have the feel of a true collectable for adults.

This edition of Chamber of Secrets is bound in red leather with a lightweight, translucent plastic dust cover to protect the leather. The leather binding is very tight and clean and the gilded page edges can suffer a fair ammount of page flicking without flaking or rubbing off. It also includes a small piece of jacket art (same artwork from the dust jacket of the hardcover edition) that would be suitable for framing. This edition would be better kept away from the hands of children if you want your copy to stay clean and pristine.

I have to honestly say that my favorite portion of this edition is the spine of the book, which is just beautiful to look at in red leather and gold lettering, and Harry's lightning- shaped scar in gold along the spine adds a touch of whimsey, reminding the reader that, as beautiful as this binding is, this is a book about fun and adventure for all ages.

If you are looking for a Harry Potter collectable edition, this one is by far my favorite.

This is a review of the collectors edition not the actual game. The collector's edition comes with the day one DLC, from ashes, and everything else listed in the description.
1) the DLC isn't worth much because its only 20min and doesn't impact the story in any meaningful way.
2)The sound track isn't on a disk you need to download it from Origin
3) the Lithograph is disappointing, it looks and feels like a post card.
4) the art book and comic are of the same quality and types as those in Mass Effect 2 collectors edition. They're interesting but you probably won't look at them more than once
5) the N7 patch is Velcro and a nice addition, high quality and it looks pretty good
6) in-game content is pretty standard and pointless
Overall the N7 edition is a pretty good edition but its not really worth the extra money unless you're a die hard Mass Effect fan. Unless it gets more free DLC then it won't be worth the extra $20.

It's always a pleasure returning to the Fallout universe. This review is for the contents of the Collector's Edition, seeing as how the game itself has a lot of reviews already on the web.

There are different reasons for buying a CE, one of them seems to be the ability to display the stuff you got with the CE. Sadly, with this one you won't have much to display.

Case/box:

The game comes within a big box that has a texture-ish feel to it. Pretty sturdy and nice, you can remove the slipcover and you'll have a clean looking box with some minimalistic letters that say "Fallout New Vegas Collector's Edition". I like the box but there's no arguing that the lunch box that came with the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Fallout-3-Collector-s-Edition/dp/B0016BVYDY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Fallout 3 Collector's Edition</a>&nbsp;is way better.

Comic book:

A comic about what happens just before the game. Of course, the characters that appear in the comic book make an appearance within the game. Great visuals, hard-cover, a general feeling of quality. I can't go too much into details about the story but it does a good job of giving you a better understanding of what is happening in New Vegas.

Making-of DVD:

I liked this one a lot. It comes with comments from the developers and even the voice actors on how New Vegas came into existence. You'll understand why some things are a little more different than Fallout 3 and how Obsidian was trying to get more of the classic Fallout feeling with this game.

Poker chips:

This one was a pleasant surprise. These actually feel real and are actually heavier than expected. There isn't much to do with them but one of the things I saw on the web (and I plan to do one of these days) is that you can take the poker chips and frame them with a green background (casino green). They're nice, but pretty much useless.

Cards:

The CE also comes with a deck of cards depicting some of the characters of the game. I take it as a "lite" version of an art book. This deck was made specifically to play "caravan" a game that's played in New Vegas. Sadly, there isn't much to do with the cards. You can of course play caravan but finding someone else that knows the rules would be hard.

The game comes inside in a regular-edition box, and you'll get a code to redeem your game in Steam. You might have to download the game even though you bought a psychical copy of it.

Overall I liked the CE, but only because I'm a fan of the series (and I love buying CE). But I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else who isn't a big fan. It doesn't come with exclusive in-game content or stuff that you can display (like the Fallout 3 bobble head).

5 stars to help negate the idiotic 1 star reviews.  I have already written a review on the collectors edition.

Doom comes with everything you see here. The box, the 12" Revenant statue, the metal game case, and a redemption code for your demon-themed armor set + six metallic paints for it's customization + 3 ID logo patterns + 6 one time use, in game hack modules.

The 12" Revenant statue has an "internal slow spinning turbine" which is basically a fan blade spinning under the Revenant in his display stand with a red light under that which grants him an eerie red flashing glow. He does not appear to be removable, though I'm certainly not gunna try very hard to rip him off.

The metal game case is the same on front and back, but minus "DOOM" on the back side leaving the same Revenant picture available for a clear view.

If I have a single complaint, it's that there doesn't seem to be an off switch anywhere for the light and/or slow spinning turbine.

The entire Revenant Statue display itself is surprisingly well detailed. I would not be surprised if it were detailed/painted by hand 'cause it looks damn good. I am definitely satisfied to have this collectors edition.

The game itself requires your xbox to have the most recent update before you can even upload the game on it. A bit of an agitation if you're like me and don't have internet, as I had to use my hotspot or see about taking my xbox to a house with wifi.

The fact of the needed update and the lack of a switch for the light/turbine isn't agitating enough to really upset me, I'm satisfied with my purchase and the quality I received in return. 5 stars.

First let me note that I am a huge fan of the game series.

That being said, the game itself is so glitchy it is barely tolerable and the graphics are VERY unimpressive. About the collectors edition specifically, It didn't come with a steel case or the season pass (My fault for not noticing I suppose, I just find it weird as it is the only special edition I've ever purchased that didn't come with those two things. So just a heads up for purchasers.) The music box is very cheaply made and off-beat. The statue's flag and sword came bent as-well as it barely stays up. The art-book is only a few pages. Like I said, I'm a huge fan. I own the collectors edition of Black Flag and was very happy with that purchase. This feels like Ubisoft threw together a game as quickly as they could, relying solely on the previous games to carry this one, Then just threw a standard copy of the game in a box with other cheaply made items,relying on franchise loyalty to make people want them.

I was extremely disappointed in this purchase and just want to caution other buyers.

I ordered the 'special edition' but when it arrived it was just the regular 'greatest hits' edition.  I still had to pay for the special edition though...

Other reviewers also had this problem...so it's not just me.

The game is great, but my advice is just buy the regular edition...the extra 30 minute video is about "the history of lowriding" and not about the game.

As a fan of the original 1982 movie, I was excited to see the different versions of this film coalesce into a single high-def collection. The extras of the so called Ultimate Collector's Edition were just too tempting to pass up.

Looking at the images on this and other sites, and considering the price of this collection at retail brick-and-mortar stores, I figured I was getting a deal. The truth is, however, that the quality of the packaging and included items are sub-par and thus do not justify the price premium over the Complete Collector's Edition. The briefcase, origami unicorn, and replica Spinner car are all made of cheap plastic and lack heft, feeling as though they would break if they sustained even a short fall. That's not to say that the packaging within the case isn't nice, I just expected more.

As far as the movie itself, you can't, and shouldn't, expect miracles just because it's been pressed to shiny Blu-ray. Still, for something filmed in the early '80s, it looks pretty good. Ridley Scott knows what he's doing, even if he is the most monotone person on the planet.

The final verdict: unless you're a completist, don't bother with the Ultimate Collector's Edition. The Complete Collector's Edition with just the five (5) discs should round out any collector's library nicely.

I'm pretty disappointed that SE keeps doing this whole "get one collectible art book" thing, and the art book is fused with the case. It feels cheap. If the price is the issue they should charge a few extra bucks and provide a proper artbook

I recieved my Destiny Ghost Edition, but i feel sadly, becouse box was broken. It's my first collectors (ghost) edition, and it was special for me.
But game perfect, and ghost inside box, and book and postcards. They are awesome, but box...

This is purely a comment on the edition by BiblioLife, ISBN 978-1110338429, and not on any other edition of this book that may appear, and concerns only the physical production of the book. You never know what you are going to get with one of these reproductions of old booksI have had some that are virtually unreadableso I am posting this just to let possible buyers know that this particular edition has clear black type properly centered on plain white pages, a good solid binding, and nice-looking hard covers.
