FAQ: 
  • What is this thread? A massive collection of limited edition games & other attributing items, included with links. 
  • Why put it all in one thread? More traffic due to collaborating interests.
  • Why is that important? This keeps the thread popular and doesn't risk a failed CE from falling through the cracks unnoticed. 
  • What can be discussed here? Anything relevant to what is posted.
  • Why make another CE compilation? Karma. 
  • Where are the big pictures? Still here, scroll down. Due to the increased number of CEs, a preface post is needed. 
  • When is the Final Fantasy XVI CE? Not announced. Granted, IF it does, you can bet I will devote an entire page to it. 
  • What about other CEs that have been announced? Give me a minute. It takes a bit of time to format the title, price, date, & retailer links in correctly.
  • What about the Book/Steelbook/Console/Misc. Picture Posts? I condensed the thread. Not necessary to include pictures for all those items. They will still be included in the Everything List post.

MS Flight Sim 2024 has a steelbook version with another jumbo steelbook like Indiana Jones did.
They are putting codes on physical collectibles in these games now. Starfield had that credit chip with the game code, IJ has the artifact with the code and Flight Sim is doing...a lanyard?
Is there a way to just get the Indiana Jones jumbo Steelbook? Or do you have to get the CE?
 
To be fair, both zombies and samurai settings were still in Japan. Pirates existed in Japan as well, but I understand they may want to expand the formula. It's just that they may start to alienate their core audience by changing the formula that has worked for so long. It's like adding one too many ice in a drink and end up diluting the flavor losing the soul it once had.
They showed that you can dress up as ‘Goromi’ in the announcement. They know exactly what their fans want.
 
finally it worked properly. I was able to finally pre order sparking zero premium CE (ps5) at bandainamco. it used to not let me go through giving me an error but as of right now Sunday September 22 10:50pm it worked

Been checking every day for it to hopefully come back in stock for pre-order. Was finally able to get it before it was gone again
 
Is that Bloodborne complete guide on Amazon a reprint of the previous one? And is it worth getting?

The last one skyrocketed in value, not sure if this one is worth getting too.
It's now a single book that contains both the original Bloodborne guide and the Old Hunters guide. Not sure if there are other updates though.
 
Walmart now has the steelbook collector box with the game for $99 which is $10 less if you wanted both. The Xbox version shows the deluxe box art but does not have any details yet, so it's likely a wrong image.

<- The link to Walmart because this site silly sometimes.
 
Expensive sorceress was delivered today. Not directly related to the games, but I really liked the Geralt statue when it releases and the others have been pretty great too. I hope there are not any more because I barely got Triss to fit in there with the others. This one was limited to 400. I think they were 2000 at first, but they had a hard time selling Yennifer even at half off.

I'm just buying the CE for the game and the steelbook, planning to sell off the statue and whatever else is in there. So pretty unbothered, personally.

I forgot it comes with a steelbook lol. I dont sit too close to my figurines so it doesn't bother me much but I do wish it was cheaper. thought it might sell like hot cakes like else ring CE's so I guess these won't drop in price quickly
 
Is anyone able to change their payment method on Amazon for preorders? I swear, in the past, there used to be a change payment option but now I don't see it...

Maybe just add another card to your account and in order details at the top it should say payment method. If it doesn't allow you to change it there, then change your new card to your default payment method within your account pages and then check your order and see if it changed.
 
Glad I was able to score a MR-F CE for the Xbox on Amazon a couple of days ago. Wasn't going to get it at first because I don't think you are really getting $150 worth of extras... but I played the demo and it's as great as I had hoped, plus I needed that OST, so F it. Got every other Atlus CE this year so why not... this is the only one I paid full price for, but I don't think this one will go on sale.

Would have preferred the PS5 version due to storage issues with the Xbox, but I shoudl have the DLC for P3R done by then so I will probably move that over to the HDD.
 
I don't think the Metaphor CE will be rare or hard to find when it is released. It's going to be heavily discounted later just like all Sega publishing release.

I've been debating canceling mine. I've been burned by so many Sega CEs in recent years but it's a new IP and seems like demo impressions are generally favorable.

Depends on if they make more or not... right now the CE is sold out everywhere, but I don't think anyone really expected all the other Atlus CEs to be produced in such high numbers. Either way I want to play it day 1 and I'd rather just invest in the CE for retail then pay full price for the standard version and hope the CE comes back out AND goes on sale. I wish there was just a launch steelbook version I would have been content with that and just downloading the full OST or but the full OST on CD or something.

It’s hard to say. It’s a new IP which people are flocking to because of Persona. I don’t recall P5 collectors editions being easy to find. Base or Royals. You can’t compare this to P3R as that’s technically a remake.

Maybe Sega played it safe with metaphor's production numbers because of all the left over stock of P3R. And the fact that's its a new IP.
 
If you want the Metaphor PS5 CE it is still available to preorder at VGP with free shipping. They package stuff very well and I trust their packaging over amazon.

Unless you prefer a US retailer.

Wasn't even comparing it to P3R. Feel like this could be another Unicorn Overlord CE of the PS5 and Xbox. Game was a new IP, got rave reviews, an Atlus game, and now deeply discounted on Woot.

Obviously I could be wrong, but just want to point out that there could that possibility.

Thanks for the link... free shipping from Canada and no tax. Tempting, but I will probably just stick to my domestic copy since I was able to secure one. I have all the other Atlus CEs released this year for the Xbox so I might as well keep it going, though it would be nice not having to start the game over again since I played the demo on PS5.
 
If all these atlus games looked like p3r I'd get em all, Simple and clean. Also liked Catherine. Still haven't finished p5r and won't get fantazio till later cuz they just don't look easy on these eyes, to me.
 
So the recently announced Atelier Yumia has two special editions up for PO, only the regular edition is up for PO in North America atm.
"Premium Box" edition (£66.66)
  • “Atelier Yumia” base game
  • “Atelier Yumia” Artbook
  • B3-Size Cloth Poster with Original Illustration
  • “Atelier Yumia” Extra Tracks CD
  • Exclusive Early Access Costume for Yumia: “Alchemist on her day off”
"Special Collection Box" edition (£137.49)
  • Handkerchief in the style of the Aladiss Research Team bandana
  • A1-Size Tapestry with Original Illustration
  • Decorative Acrylic Keychains (set of 6)
  • Special Clear File Folders (set of 6)
  • Special Sticker Sheet
  • Yumia’s Precious Stuffed Animal
  • Official Short Story Booklet
  • Official Short Story Translation Booklet
No word yet on if America is getting a special edition or not. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up since Atelier Ryza was such a huge success for Gust, and the CEs for those are pretty good/highly sought after.

All I want is an Atelier steelbook. Sigh
 
I got the Wanted: Dead press kit in today. The acrylic slip cover is almost worth the $100 itself. It's really well made.
Never saw this before, but it looks really cool. Can't afford to get this now but if it stays in stock for a while I could see getting it. Pretty cool looking though, I always love game press kits. My The Order 1886 press kit is probably my favorite

Haha.. no way, I have that one too (I think it's the 'package' right?). I've got a dozen or so press kits I was able to collect over the years, at least up until 4-5 years ago, after which it seems like they turned into "influencer" kits that must have some strict "no resale" rules because I rarely see those online.

But I've never seen one for sale at a retailer, seems kind of odd since they're meant for the "press".

Ahaha yep that's the one! It's basically a small parcel with a book inside. There wer a few variations which included a few extra things as well. I really wanted the pewter tankard but was never able to get that. God I fuckin love that game, absolutely underrated gem.

Back in the older days like you I used to collect ones for games I really liked as well. I had more disposable income and they definitely seemed easier to come by. I have the order still on display but have my injustice and dead island kits around somewhere. I have a few others as well but I think some may have been lost in the shuffle. The collectors edition forum was always great for that but like you said recently they all but disappeared. I think maybe just games aren't really getting physical kits anymore? Not too sure.

You're right though I've never seen press kits sold at a store before but this also seems like one of those "boutique goods" places so I'm wondering if their contract just allowed them to sell any extras. While I wouldn't call Wanted: Dead a good game, it's definitely one that has stuck with me. Plus it's just a nice looking kit, but I'm moving again this upcoming weekend. Last thing I need to do is order more stuff. Especially vinyl I'll never play. But damn does it look nice

As someone completely unfamiliar with Wanted: Dead, this press kit clears up nothing. Couldn't even tell it's for a video game, which might make it even cooler TBH lol

I don't think there is even a pink grenade in the game. The soundtrack and cookbook are the biggest things related to the game. There is a live action cooking show and the soundtrack are both in the game done by Stefanie Joosten who also plays another character in the game. She is better known as Quiet in MGSV. She has a separate solo album sold on that same site.
 
Went ahead and did the same... that demo is kinda long and I didn't really want to play through it again since the game is already supposed to be 100 hours... plus I don't have to worry about moving around stuff to make space.

Also bought some Gucci eyeglass frames to replace the ones my BM messed up, they seem to have matched prices with the pair I saw on ebay a couple weeks ago that sold out. Wish I could have used my HSA card but ohh wells.

I have an IRL friend who is a moderately successful Twitch streamer and they have gotten several press/influencer kits over the past several years. Just recently they got the Ace Attorney Investigations press kit (Pen set, T shirt, a personalized judges gavel, and other goodies), personally the coolest one they got was the Dead Space press kit, came with a Bomber jacket of the USG Ishimura.

So they def still exist, but they are going to ppl who hold onto this stuff a lot longer than previously.

They exist but they're now "influencer" kits, and are all over YouTube/IG/etc. I'd wager those are much easier to track since (e.g., Sony sent YTdouche99 kit #1933/2000, which is listed on OfferUp right now) they're directly sent to a specific influencer and the publisher could easily figure out who was selling it on the after market. Vs press/media kit (those sent to actual press) are probably much harder to track since they'd send them to a company (IGN, Eurogamer, etc.) and then passed on to some random employee to review the game and whatnot.

FF7 Rebirth influencer kit from some guy with only (well, relative to some of the bigger ones) 113k subs:
Here's another, FFXVI influencer kit: https://www.instagram.com/super_mario_faker/reel/CuMebwyoldy/

I'm trying to think what the last press kit I bought was and I think it was either God of War 2018 or Spider-Man (PS4), after that it seems like things dried up quite a bit... possibly after COVID started?

God I hate our new Youtube / Twitch / TikTok influencer world. It's like a trickle-down advertising pyramid. Give the annoying screamy-head people rich swag for free. Now tell everyone how much you love our game!; a paid reviewer. It's wrong. "Here's a bunch of cool shit the rest of you will never have! I'd like to thank The Academy, SquareEnix..."

It's no wonder sales numbers and word of mouth for SquareEnix and their very good recent jrpgs are failing. They're not able to reach customers through mass market appeal or traditional advertising (tv commercials or in-store fliers/displays). They can only reach the hyper polarized fans, whom are already searching this stuff on youtube. Advertising and its fragementation are super weird in 2020+.
