Is it special?

So it’s been said that video game companies are aiming their selling might at the 30 year old male gamer who is prepared to spend large amounts of money on video games and entertainment paraphernalia. Anyone else noticed almost every game released has either a collectors edition of special edition? While this sometimes gives you something worth having i can’t help be see pointless packages including crap.

Some of the time you do get cool stuff like Uncharted 2 gave you gold guns which you can ONLY get buy purchasing the special edition of the game and there’s no way for people with standard copies to unlock them Plus you get this really nice tin case. I think i got it for an extra £5 or something like that and think it was worth it as this game is a keeper and will remain in my collection for serious amounts of time.

But getting back to the point, what im trying to say here is if you buy every collectors or special edition of every game you buy then don’t they just stop being special. My advice is carefully select your special edition games. I plan to buy the GT5 special edition as its the one game i bought my PS3 for 4 years ago and have now started collecting every GT game ever made and so i have to have the special edition. Im sure i will buy other special editions but unless they offer something that’s actually special with it what’s the point.

Christmas is on its way and with it will come much hype, anticipation and special editions of games so don’t blow your wad on stuff you will later regret. Take your time, do your research and choose wisely.
