Companies really need to make Limited Editions much more attractive to the consumer market. If your gonna entice me to spend more money at least give me something substantial. The art book should a decent size with two page spreads or even a tri-fold here and there. Am I the only one that remembers when companies put forth effort. Take Starsiege and Tribes for example. They both came with extra books just on the lore and history, so when you were not playing the game you were still spending hours reading about the back story."
Why is it that companies like Working Designs that gave the consumer a crap load of tchotchke go under while other companies that give you a sticker are allowed to go unchecked when they call it a special edition. We all know this stuff is made for pennies in some factory in china. Is it too much to ask for to get something good for my extra 10-20 dollars. A "Behind the scenes" DVD isn't worth an extra 5 dollars let alone 10-20. How boring is it to watch Cliffy B. Talk about how the rendered the game? I'd liken those DVD's to porn, it's good for about 10 minutes and then it's pretty much boring. Give me Sequential numbered cases, art books of some girth, mini action figures, something good Jesus please. Back to Working Designs for a brief minute. Remember when you reserved Lunar for the PS1? What did you get? A freakin punch doll that looked like Ghaleon or Alex.
It's stuff like this that makes you remembered in the gamer community. Not an extra DVD or a sticker sheet.
