Yes special editions. Probably one of the last bastions against digital sales. Sometimes they’re great deals full of surprises, other times a complete waste of money, so let’s dig into 2010 special editions. Remember this’s a thread for special editions,not bundles like Monster Hunter Tri or preorder bonuses like the Taxidermist thing in Heavy Rain, so Did you get one of them??
Edit: For whatever reason this thread is repeated, Could some mod delete the other one. Thanks

Mass Effect 2: Collector’s Edition
A pretty nice aluminium case with a bonus DVD, and artbook, glossy comic book, 2 DLC codes and a prety nice sleeve. This edition is quite standard in quality and content, noting special but still pretty nice.
February
Bioshock 2
A huge box, with 2 posters, 1 soundtrack in CD, another soundtrack in LP, one DLC code and a really big artbook. Probably one of the best artbooks in gaming. The only problem? The box is way too big so it’s difficult to find a place for this thing; plus you’ll need grandpa’s turntable to check the soundtrack
March
God of War III: Ultimate Edition
Yeah our friends across the ocean had a better deal with this. Anyway a beautiful box crafted after the mytical Pandora’s Box, a documentary avalible only at the PSN network, a couple od DLC codes and an artbook. Honestly this edition looks nice but the box itself s kinda useless (well you can put Grandma’s ashes there I guess)
May
Alan Wake: Collector’s Edition
If Alan Wake is a writer.. well you get a book as extra content if the book is good or not that’s another thing. But also you get the soundtrack, a extra content DVD and free DLC. Overall the presentation is really good, not too big, easy to handle and really nice.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker: Limited Edition
Honestly this isn’t the best edition of the list. The package includes a sleeve case, an artbook (which is pretty nice TBH) and a bandana. For Metal Gears fans is really good but for the general audience not so much.
Deathsmiles Limited Edition
Well you got a faceplate filled with lol..... I can’t use that word right? Well you got a faceplate filled with females aged between 12 and 16, a soundtrack and .... that’s all. Pretty nice for the shmup fans.
