Are "Special Edition" Games Worht the Extra $10?

Just curious if many of you have been buying the SE version of games for $10 more? Have you found the extra content worth it? It seems to be a trend particularly for Xbox 360 games...

I think the question you need to ask yourself is why are you buying the game in the first place. If you are buying the game for the sole intention of "playing" the game (which most people do) then you really dont need an art gallery or an inside look to the music of the game. Unless you are a dedicated fan itching for those useless nuggets of info then i suggest you go buy 10 rolls of fruit mentos. They kick ass.

Haha....same here. I love the cases, they are teh sexay!!! 

depends which game

never.

videos of making the game isnt as entertaining as the game.

however, if different gameplay was included, i might 

Do not buy but special editions that cost $10 more. Those games are part of a test market to see if gamers are willing to spend $10 extra on games. The publishers do this so they can justify hiking the normal price up $10. Don't get sucked into the crap, the more special editions are bought the higher the price of games will become.

The averge game price used to be $50 now they are $60 in the next gen. They blame the higher price on rising production cost when it is anything but. 

If you're 100% into the game then yes. If you don't care about the tech and people involved in making it then no.david60639
