10 Most Expensive Video Game Collector's Editions

We're all guilty of splurging on an absolutely unnecessary video game collector's edition from time to time. Whether it contains an art book or a car, we sometimes cannot resist the allure of premium video game tat special editions. While there's no way we could unbox all of these ourselves, why not live vicariously through this list, as we rank the most expensive video game collector's editions.

We've all bought some dreadful video game TAT over the years, but what's the *VERY* worst/most expensive thing you've ever bought?

[@espurious]

I once bought a video game related photograph for £500

[@allkindsofgroovy6865]

I thought I was going overboard spending £80 for Conker's Bad Fur Day but damn! If I had 10m I'd like to think that I'd take a moment before spending it on a game. I still probably would but at least I could say I'd thought about it first

[@kintypoo121]

Bought that terrible bikini torso collectors edition for Dead Island. A friend had said it was very limited, BUT Deepsilver went on ahead and made a load more XD Wasted, tasteless tatty tat!

[@raaaaawrbin]

*glances nervously at $1200 ball jointed doll I bought to recreate as Leon from Resident Evil*

[@BlueFlagAlpha]

I bought a Gba game for $50

[@SpitViolenceGaming]

The Saints Row dubstep gun sits on display in the Volition office. I used to deliver food there a few years ago when you got buzzed into the lobby it was in a big display case with a bunch of other memorabilia, last time I was there was before agents of mayhem so no idea if it's still on display but they definitely still had it.

[@kakashihatake8017]

there could be multiple lmfao

[@SpitViolenceGaming]

@@kakashihatake8017 you gotta actually pay attention before trying to troll lmfao... "only 1 available bundle" the entire pre-order edition was a gag with a price tag of $1million that if anyone realistically tried to buy they could say it was already claimed. (10:48 if you don't believe that entire pre-order edition was a gag) GG tho....

[@swandive46]

Always wondered what happened to the gun.

[@lumirairazbyte9697]

After the merge with Gearbox we will never know…. Or even worse because Embracer is doing massive layoffs.

[@feathertopDT]

Anyone else get flashbacks to the Toys R Us rewards on kickstarter when Ben was reading out what was in the various collector editions? If you're spending $800 on a collectors addition, i want a local block party dammit

[@RalseiGaming]

the dying light shelter actually doesn’t seem like a bad deal you get a 2 story house out of it which alone probably costs 240k of it like that bundle doesn’t seem like they would make a profit but it’s probably made in hopes no one gets it

[@prismcatlounge5342]

According to my Google Home Mini, humans have two kidneys but only need one to live (thanks for finally giving that little circle some work to do)

[@ImAssassinX]

I've only bought three special editions. 1. Halo 3 SE. Came with a Masterchief head that also held the game inside. 2. COD: Black Ops SE. Came with a RC car that had C4 on it like from the game. Had a camera and microphone to. All be it crappy. 3. Borderlands 2 SE. The giant loot box one. Still my most prized one. I don't remember if the first game had a SE, but I did buy whatever the most expensive version was. I wish I could afford BL3s SE.

[@dougdrazga4461]

Sadly, my Google assistant didn't answer Ben's kidney question ... though his voice did activate it.

[@LordBrotovic]

Beep beep beep beep beep...thats the sound of the exclusive TripleJump Microwave you´ll get if you buy the TripleJump Collectors Edition

[@zukato4119]

Its big enough to fit a walrus in it, so its worth the price

[@BlueFlagAlpha]

It can fit three bread rolls so it's worth it

[@espurious]

So where's the limited edition Uncharted cake sculpture. There has to be one

[@Jacket430]

That 250 Beatles set really doesn't seem that bad tbh

[@perrycoffey5410]

Way to much it's a damn game wish they make a Coldplay rock band game

[@mrjohn.whereyoufrom]

I was thinking the same. Much better value for money compared to the rest of the games on the list.

[@SteelersCardinals1]

RIP Ken Block since we're talking about his RC car

[@feathertopDT]

I jump every time I see Michael Johnson cameos

[@Googaliemoogalie]

This is basically an extended answer to my Podcast question you guys answered

[@beaone]

A Barbara Pis figure would be priceless.

[@gfear24]

I've never bought a special/collectors edition game other than Red Dead Redemption: Game of the year edition w/ Undead Nightmare included. But I also bought it for $20.

[@bluenerdlabs6158]

Enjoyed the list. Thanks.

[@real_Malachy]

my least favorite expensive collectors edition is the AC Valhalla Steelbook Edition, which only came with most of the DLC (minus Dawn of Ragnarök). I bought it when in 2021 for $132, only for it to drop down to

[@Evaunit98]

The Dirt 3 collectors edition is one that me being the car loving schmuck I am actually bought, I’ve still got the car, it’s just dumb fun

[@JC052288]

Nothing was funnier then "hey google how many kidneys do I need?"😂😂😂😂

[@Gaming_auf_Ex]

I love Steelbooks. They look nice. There Special Edion. Have some extras like Soundtrack or extra Content and costs only 10 or 20€ more like the Standard. At least it saves lot of space. I never would pay 200€ for a game or more. No chance.

[@bencaswell1956]

That Conchords reference. Damn. Good job boys

[@wantage1973]

Waiting for the next stage of one-upmanship. Tropico 7 with your very own tropical island. Microsoft Flight Simulator with a Boeing 737.

[@BernicePanders]

5:00 - What do ya know, you get that AND MORE in the Cyberpunk special collectiors edition at HALF the price!!😎

[@KatiePole]

I’ve definitely mentioned this before but I spent £400 on a collectors edition of Nier Automata. Worth it

[@Googaliemoogalie]

Did you get the books? I just got the two

[@Googaliemoogalie]

I know the sound track is about that price, is that what you bought?

[@tk7977]

“i’ve definitely mentioned this before,” lol who are you?

[@bethsleeman3491]

thank you for including aussie dollary doos for a change

[@mmmelone24]

Someone times when I’m high enough, I genuinely try to press start…I’m on my phone

[@lp1292]

buddy of mine has the COD Black ops Jeep Wrangler 😂

[@ImAssassinX]

I want the Dubstep gun. (cries)

[@crsmyth4428]

I would definitely rock that RE jacket.

[@rkshn]

Bac moni is the cars name, it has nothing to do with only "one customer " getting the car

[@wteverisgud]

The dying light thing must of never sold, they aren't even working on a movie anymore.

[@BernicePanders]

7:45 - BTW, you don't get actual ipad cases, you actually get pocket-sized little pill boxes, 'tablet cases' as those overseas call them... 💊💊💊

[@coyoteartist]

Still want that Hofner bass.

[@Emerje1]

Who else had their Google device go off? My Google Home Mini started going on about kidneys and the renal system.

[@razrsedj2776]

The death stranding collectors. I love mine.

[@speedwaynutt]

Always wondered if any a these actually sold.

[@kaboomgamer333]

Wow, you did not lie.

[@juanortiz4196]

My google home is right by my tv so it started talking to me about kidneys...thanks triple jump

[@PoisonAppleADay]

[@mikec5400]

[@Buechs79]

Beep beep beep...........beep beep

[@christianmanka3884]

[@shootmaniact16]

[@stpirate89]

@matt insightful input there Matt

[@Mayank_Maximum]

For me collectors edition was toy cars

[@SteveMacSticky]

The rally car toy is nice. All the rest are yawn inducing

[@rickyrosay33977]

The grid one and saints row one were cool the grid one you get an actual freaking super car and in the saints row one you get to live the life of a millionaire

[@prds25386]

I dont get how literally getting a trackday supercar is yawn inducing

[@SteveMacSticky]

@@prds25386 me neither, but it happens!

[@ninjapwnsatlyfe]

Hey I had the Beatles rock band bundle! I conned a buddy into going half with me on it.

[@tylerwarden7528]

“Giant Dildo Bats” is the name of my new pop/punk band. Let Jack the Jobber know.

[@lukeomah]

[@whitelambo9430]

[@lordfyita2096]
