One of the only Collector's Editons that I found was worth it was Halo Reach. (Legendary Edition)

My God, there was SO MUCH stuff they put in that box.

I'm a big fan of the Halo's :clap:

It's well worth it guys!

Here's why:

Game - You will need this to play Skyrim, duh!
Making-of DVD - Not in a million years will this get leaked online, so worth it!
200 page Hardcover Art Book - Wow I'm sure you won't look at it once then somehow get bored of it, come on!
12" High Quality PVC statue of Alduin, made by IP factory - Are you telling me that you wouldn't want a piece of plastic to keep your hat from flying away? Bargain!

I rest my case!

Not for the amount of money they are charging. You get nothing extra in game.

As much as I'm anticipating skyrim, there is no chance in hell I'm paying $150 for a CE. If it was $100 I'd consider it and I never by CEs. Don't get me wrong, there is cool stuff in it. Its just too overpriced. A CE should never cost more then twice the amount of the game itself.

$150 for what they are offering is waaaaaay too over-priced. a book and statute arent worth 90 bucks at all.
Worst thing is there are so many better collectors editions out there AND they are more reasonably priced like the uncharted 3 collector's:

Comes with quite a few more things than skyrim's collector's and its only 100 bucks.
kinda makes me mad because as much as I'd love to pay extra for a TES game, $150 just doesnt make sense
EDIT: Maybe add poll options?

Just depends on how much you love TES games, if you want to be only semi-hardcoe and just have fun playing the game then no, just wait for the stuff to come out online, if it does, but if TES games are your thing, then yes, obviously it's going to be expensive, why would they sell it at $20 more than the game? Skyrim will be the biggest and baddest Roleplaying TES game yet and i will cherish my 12" statue always;)

J.

To those who say that the making-of DVD is worthless because it will be posted online--can the same not be said of Skyrim itself?

CE's are ALWAYS worth it. The only people who don't buy them are uber-cheapskates and people who don't have jobs and live off their parents' income.

I LOVE GENERALIZING!

on topic:

I pre-ordered it, paid it off. I have the disposable income and am a huge supporter/fan of Bethesda. The only other CE I have purchased in my life is...Oblivion. And Fallout 3. And...GTA 4....maybe a couple others...O well. I think a 1' statue of Alduin would look great on my studio desk!

Worth it. Yes.

You got to put things in perspective. On the surface, $150 for the Skyrim CE is not worth it. BUT people, you need to realize this game is huge! Yeah, the Uncharted 3 CE is priced more reasonably but that's a game of 20 hours worth of content. Bethesda should be charging $100 for Skyrim alone. Look at it that way and the CE becomes worth it. Oblivion is the only game I have ever kept installed on my computer. It's been five years and I killed like 20 guards last night. I don't play Uncharted 2 anymore. The Skyrim CE, though over priced, is fully worth it based on the sheer size of content the game itself has. If you are on these boards checking stuff out about this game, you owe it to yourself and to Bethesda to get the CE .

Noooooooooo! I love Elder Scrolls, but never in a million years would I pay for some over-priced tat that does nothing. I mean even the Call of Duty CE's had Night vision
goggles and working RC cars. I don't like that series much, but I'm pointing that out.

I don't know how you can justify buying a plastic dragon, with some random fodder added to it that you won't use. I have a job thank you, but I am very wise with my money in case something
happens in the future.

I don't want to be spending my money on some rubbish, that doesn't make me feel any better. I will be too busy playing the game and enjoying it. I wouldn't knock it if it were cheaper, but it's obviously
just to milk money from all the die-hard fans.

People keep talking s*** like the CE contents offend them. Just don't buy it. Jesus christ.

For what you're getting with the CE? No.

Unless you're a diehard really devoted fan with disposable income or have your goods bought for you, then you perhaps suffer from a lack of appreciation and are unaware product value.

So F-A-N-B-O-Y is now "Really devoted fan"? That is not what I am trying to say at all. This is not fair to the people that have an opinion.

It's worth it, but not on my income.

Ignore the post behind the curtain.

except i can buy skyrim for 60 bucks. I love TES, and skyrim's looking out to be the best one yet but I don't love a 12" statute and an artbook enough to pay 90 extra dollars for it

It's just the fact that it's not made of solid gold at that price . That's what offends me.

Originally I wasn't going to get the CE. However, I've never got a CE for any other game and I'd like to change that. The other reason I decided to purchase it is that I love Bethesda as a company, and am willing to fork out a little extra cash. Really, most other games you pay 60 bucks for you get like, what, 20 hours of game? Maybe a little more? But with an ES title, you get hundreds of hours of play, so even for $150 bucks I still think you're getting WAY more bang for your buck.

This.

^ I think I love you... lol

And I am the same way with CE's. I have a post on page 2 that lists most of what I have, but I do have Skyrim's CE already pre-ordered as well as paid in full. I'm right there with you bro!

I appreciate you looking out for the best interests of my assets.

For the price, I wish they'd add a size Large t-shirt like the staff wore during E3 (bunch of bad guys in ascending size on left, gamer on right, almost like an evolution progression). Then, it'd be worth it. Well, okay, maybe a soundtrack CD as well. THEN it'd be worth it.

:foodndrink:

Another thing that annoys me:

$150 is not ￡130

it's around ￡90

Where do they come up with their calculations?
