“It’s nothing personal kid, the bag was nylon from the start”

If you use the wayback machine to view the ad for power armor bag. On June 14, 2018, the original ad said it was canvas. They changed it on November 29 to nylon after taking months and months of orders. They deserved every bit of backlash.

Ah sweet my Batmobile unboxing is in this video! Thanks for the shout-out man and great job on this vid!

I can always get behind an art book being in a collector's edition. They're really cool collector's items in my opinion.

The leather jacket for resident evil 6 looks like its made of black and grey duct tape. LMAO

Game manuals were the true collectors edition.

To resident evils credit they did refuse to send out some of the broken ones and refunded them all, that's a lot more than Todd Howard did

Bethesda's bag Me: "Looks like a trashbag. Resident evil 6s jacket Me: "Looks like a trashbag....wait what?"

The Mass Effect Andromeda Collector’s Edition didn’t contain the game... probably for the best

Bethesda gave people 5 bucks because they can't sue if they were compensated. At least that's what I read.

Okay that AVGN impersonation was almost accurate.

The resident evil 7 one was sick. The extras were references to beginning hour and it still has amazing resell value. I sold mine for like $600

can’t believe you excluded the mass effect andromeda collectors edition that didn’t even include the game

Remember everyone if it's marketed as "collectors" it won't be collectable.

15:00 Bruh I thought that was Alex Mercer's Jacket from prototype

Surprised you didn't include the fabled Marvel Infinite easter eggs

The Batmobile one was probably cancelled coz models of that quality typically retail at around twice as much as they were charging for that entire bundle; someone internal mustve pointed that out

Bethesda : Who cares, there are no good colectors editions Cd Projekt Red : Hold my beer

"Dungeon Crawler Weeb Game" Subscribed.

Just wait until Capcom releases DMC V's $8,000 Long coat

Huh, randomly watching this video and did not expect to see my Giant Bomb forum post from 2008 regarding the Fable 2 limited edition. Still bummed about that thing 10 years later.

"Almost hell, West virgina"

Does anyone remember the Dead Space 2 collector's edition? When they promised a life-sized replica of the gun? Yeah, it wasn't life-sized.

Makes me sad that bethesda ruined its very sick reputation ina. Few years. Was my fav game dev, not anymore

As soon as I heard there was no npc's in the game I knew I did not want fallout 76 anywhere near me.

Hardboiled is actually really good, John Woo is a great director and brought the heroic bloodshed genre to American audiences

The RE6 jacket shown at 16:09 is actually by a company called Soul Revolver who do make extremely high quality leather jackets either out of Nappa Leather. (Comfy and Mobile) I've gotten a few jackets from them and fuckin love em! If you plan on getting a quality leather jacket especially a replica one I reccomend hitting their website. Jackets usually are around $300+ and they usually have sales every now and then

I only bought one collectors edition game in my life. It was mw2 and it came with night vision goggles and a tin case. The goggles worked pretty well from what I remember.

If you think RE6 Jacket costs too much, then check out how much they ask for Devil May Cry 5 Jackets :D

The best collectors edition of recent memory was the Persona 5 take your heart edition. You got a CD, artbook, steel case, a plush, and a really nice bag as well as the game and a massive full art box for 80 quid

Those tablet cases were actually not a bad idea for the anti depressants all the people who bought that would have to start taking after spending a thousand dollars on it.

*"the Fallout 76 release came crashing down when fans realized that it was made by Bethesda*"*

I don’t think I’ve ever bought a collectors edition for this reason. The quality standard needs to go way up before I’m tryna spend the extra bread

17:05 y’all see that laser on his chest?😂

Thanks for the opiate talk. Been clean two years and its nice seeing folks still thinking about us junkies. Appreciate ya

You forgot the mass effect andromana collectors edition *game not included

I mourn for all the people who got scammed. F

Batman Arkham Knight: keeping my money for the Batmobile edition until two days before launch n then telling me it wasn't happening. Making me not be able to get anything else.

Speaking of collector's editions, Destiny 2 actually did quite a good job and I was pretty satisfied with the stuff inside. Hawthorne's messenger bag isn't very comfortable for prolonged use, but nonetheless sturdy enough for practical use and it looks quite good. The steel tube comes with a solar power bank, which works, that's it. There're also a blanket and a rope bracelet inside the tube, which I did not open. It also contains all sorts of art stuff and an invitation from Calus, while these are of decent qualities, Calus' taste for colour schemes was... questionable.

Wait no infamous second son Condoms?

Hahahahahaha I fell for the Fable II one. Sad because I was really excited for that one at the time.

10:29 The 3DS had tons of limited editions...

I've only gotten one collector's edition game, saw a copy of the Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice limited edition, which was only released through e-Capcom in Japan, with the game still there and some of the contents still sealed, being sold for roughly $25USD. I love the game, and $25 for a 6 year old limited edition is a pretty good deal, so I got it. The box is absolutely perfect, being a set of two cardboard drawers that would feel right at home as an object in the game and fully printed. It had the physical game, a set of visual postcards with nice print quality, a drama CD with a really nice design on the CD itself that can be viewed while keeping it sealed alongside a quality case, a soft plush of a dog in the game, and a small tote that is admittedly not high quality, but the design clearly references the game. I consider it well worth it for what I paid, but definitely don't think I would've gotten it for $80+.

Remember the Resident Evil 4 chanesaw controller?

ur east coast native voice is superb

16:47 the unofficial commercial for the Resident Evil 6 Leather Jacket Edition

Hotline Miami’s collectors edition has to be one of my favorite

truth is, the bag was nylon from the start

i thought the torso was dope, I wanted it for my zombie wall.

17:10 bro you had me dying of laughter

I'll add Saints Row The Third to the list. I believe over half of the headphones sent with the collectors edition were broken, including mine. I ordered mine from the US, and the delivery took three months longer than expected (to NL), so when it arrived and I tested the headphones, it was already out of the period where we could return the headphones and get working ones.

I think the zombie bait bikini torso from Dead Island is awesome. The statue is well painted and high quality. Yes, it's grotesque, but that is the narrative of Dead Island Riptide, duh! I have mine proudly displayed on my games shelf to gross out unsuspecting visitors.

I remember getting the Perfect Dark Zero 'collectors edition' and it cost very little extra on top, this was a time when steelbook limited editions were sold as a standard option for a few quid more and not packed into extortionate collectors editions full of overpriced garbage like they are today. At the time of this game's release, big expensive, premium collectors editions containing polystone statues and replicas etc weren't a common product, especially here in the UK. It was an upfront and honest upgrade to a steel book case and a few bonus DLC codes packed in for a small price increase which was usually worth it for the case alone. Taking all this into consideration I don't think it's really fair to be in this list. And on one last note, regardless of what anyone thinks of it, my god, the art and embossing on this steelbook is by far and wide one of the absolute *best* steelbooks I've seen in my 2+ decades of gaming, matched only by the absolutely fantastic Witcher 3 steelbook.

“Gen-uine leatha, straight out of the jungles of Thailand”

yeah about the opiate thing. friend of mine got addicted. i didn't take that seriously until then. it was pretty surprising. he had his head on straight, not like he was prone to addiction. he got injured pretty bad in an accident and ended up addicted to his painkillers (i guess they threw WAY too much at him). lost his wife, house, everything. his workplace fully supported him going into rehab, thankfully, and he's recovering now, and got a new house. no new wife, but this guy has zero trouble attracting girls :D charming, intelligent, good sense of humour, easy on the eyes, big fat wallet rofl that's all reasons it was incredible to have happened.

3:13 wait you can't be serious. They offered 5 dollor compensation. The compensation doesn't even cost them anything! If there going to act scummy and give them currency they might as well give them all the in game currency. (Sorry don't play the game but it's still ridiculous)

God I remember seeing that godawful dead island bust in my local eb games where I'm pretty sure it sat there unsold and untouched for at least a year before it was likely thrown away

I live in Australia where our game stop is EB games. Anyway, when fallout 76 was out for preorder for the power armour edition, sales where enormous but when the game came there where so many refunds. I know because I volunteered there. Eventually after months of us not selling any. We were told to sell the power armour edition at $10 au. We had three sales and all employees at my store where given it for free.

"i have good things on sale stranger" !

"Rare example of a limited edition game made for a hand-held console" *looks at the limited edition box for almost every visual novel released for the 3DS and psvita in Japan*

Merry Christmas everyone! Spend time with your family !

An industry contact told me that the Arkham Knight special edition was canceled due to thousands of boxes being left out in the rain and damaged before they could be shipped from China.

Fallout 76 never looked good and I was pissed off when everyone was clapping at E3. It was basically fallout 4 with no story.

LMAO I STARTED LAUGHING SO HARD AT THE COD WAW CANTEEN

Ok, if that leather jacket was made by a top brand like for example the Noble House who are making WW2 replica leather jackets and they are kinda expensive, yes i would buy the collectors edition for 700-800$ but come on wtf are they doing?

You know you made a good video when you come back about a year later to rewatch it.

The power armor bag just baffels me. The canvas one looks like a military tankers tool bag. Rothco makes them for like 20$. It's a military wholesale type bag, not whatever that was. How hard was it to get them.

RESIDENT EVIL CUATRO

I've always thought the Dead Rising bust was clever. It looks like something that you would find in a serial killer's basement and I would never own one, but it's a nice literal play on the concept of a torso bust.

"Mom said it's my turn on the PlayStation !!". I laughed way too hard at this 😂😂😂

Literally after he said the canteen doesn't open, the CapBoom ad came up and had me dying😂😂😂

5:13 immediately tries to grope the breasts. Ah, i see he's a man of culture as well.

The only collector's edition I can recall ever having was for MW2. It came with a pretty neat set of night vision goggles. Weren't exactly functional, but it was a cool thing to display.

Also, I thought it was hilarious that a few years back I found a Fable 2 limited edition game for my sisters birthday in Gamestop, both it and the original Prey game cost $0.99 while the regular Fable II edition was $5.00

I like your style, you dont talk much around you just get right to it and swipe fluently through these collections, really nice to watch and makes a 18min video feal natural and short

Oh god, Dead Island Riptide. Bad memories of that. All I remember was it was even more buggy than regular Dead Island and tons of stuff that worked in Dead Island didn't work anymore.

"for the PlayStation Vita of all things" Yeah, they released JRPGs on the PS Vita. Wow what a bizarre concept!

I bought the gta4 collectors edition which included a really nice quality duffle bag and metal security bank lock box both of which I still use :D

I preordered the fallout new Vegas collectors edition and it was actually pretty cool it came with a steel "platinum" chip, chips from all the casinos in the game, and a pack of playing cards that had the characters on them and the backs were a mixture of backs from the casinos. Didn't order the pip boy edition of fallout 4 or the 76 one though glad I didnt do that

why are people butthurt over a bloody torso as a collectors edition bonus? i mean...its a zombie game

$1000 is chump change, you should look up the Japan only leather jacket editions for devil may cry 5

Compile Heart is weird with physical special editions but. When it came to their biggest franchise Neptunia, they don't disappoint and yes their line up is composed of hack and slash, visual novels and JRPG's almost like SEGA and Capcom totally norm.

I really don't think the Re7 stuff was that bad other than the problems with the Mansion. Like it all is stuff from the game so if you really love it than it would be pretty cool collectors stuff.

You forgot the Dark Souls Estus Flask. It's like the Call of Duty Canteen, but looks like it cost 50 cents to make. Also, I love how they just continued to sell the torso in other countries that don't go out of their way to get offended.

some pain therapy bloke from germany here ... the opioid crisis isnt actually being "overprescribed", its that people after they get opioid painkillers are put on withdrawal and cold turkey after they are finished with their medication, thats why you have that many addicts. opioids still are the best and most effective painkillers that dont ruin your health, except from possibly making you addicted after taking them one month straight.

It would’ve been dope if the resident evil mansion replica had a shadow of the girl pop up in different windows

12:40 just imagine you bought the collector's edition just to know that every other people that didn't get the collector's edition was also claiming the DLC for free

You just don't mess with Todd Howard

I dont see Any Problem with The womans torso Edition...

my body froze for a second when i realized it was christmas music and not the mario world theme i was about to jam out to

There was a another limited edition ver for RE 6 which was cheaper about $60 I think(?) which they gave a cheaper material jacket something like a rain coat. If I'm not mistaken it's a HK ver, I still have it. The quality was quite good.

"Fallout 76 looked like a promising entry in the beloved Fallout series." No - it didn't. Why do some people say that? It was never liked from the beginning. It was always touted as having no NPCs. Its reveal didn't impress anyone, and Todd and Pete were extremely vague and dishonest with reference to what it was and how killing other players worked. People seem dumb and easily able to forget things. Generally speaking, people weren't expecting a lot from this game; it's just that it ended up being significantly worse than most people anticipated.

I feel stupid for ever having bought a collector's edition... I stopped wasting my money on those years ago. Thanks for a great and entertaining video!

10:04 pizza mozzarera...

Holy macaroni! The batmobile will be worth a shitload of money in a couple decades!

I have the Dead Island statue, personally I think it’s pretty cool 😂

I do t really see anything wrong with the dead island except people getting triggered for no reason if people wanted to buy it they got what they wanted

When I watched this it made me want the resident evil 7 house instead of thinking it sucked and it's several hundred dollars on eBay of course.. smh
