7 BIG Limited Edition Games: Worth Buying or Not?

This season is no stranger to "Special" and "Collector's" editions of major videogame releases. In fact, being assaulted with pretty tin-box packaging, miniature art books, and making-of DVD's (for an extra ten bucks or so over the regular retail price) has become as much a holiday tradition as eggnog, shopping mall Santas, and unwanted hugs from relatives we see once a year.

So, it's no surprise then this year is chock-full of bonus content-packed offers from all the major publishers. But, while many (Call of Duty: World at War, Prince of Persia) are still churning out some combination of the aforementioned extras, others-perhaps spurned on by last year's mini Spartan-helmet supported Halo 3 Legendary Edition-are upping the ante in offering the most complete fan-pleasing packages.
