I did but as it turned out I lived in igno­rance for quite some time. After read­ing this blog post over at Dai­lyTech I did some research – and this guy is right! Japan­ese CEs con­tain some amaz­ing stuff: doc­u­men­taries, inter­views, exclu­sive illustrations/storyboards/art books, books con­sist­ing of arti­cles, past inter­views and draw­ing, trail­ers and TV com­mer­cials, T-shirts, and more often than not some hand­crafted items. That’s what I call a pack­age wor­thy of being a Collector’s edition.

I’m not into CEs as far as movie DVDs are con­cerned because all I want is the film and per­haps a sec­ond audio track. But I like to own Collector’s Edi­tions of games. The last one I bought was the Heroes of Might and Magic 5 Collector’s Edi­tion and I didn’t rue it because it cost only 5 bucks more. Accord­ing to the short arti­cle on Collector’s Edi­tions I don’t need to worry as far as God of War II is con­cerned. Seems like I’ll get every­thing for free
