Re: special edition games

Back on the topic – No.  I do not see any point in special editions.  99% of the time I get a new game, the case goes in a box in a my closet, and the disc goes in a cd holder with the rest of my games, and I never look at the case or manual again.  Why pay more to get a shinier one?  Also, the few times I have gotten special stuff with my game (most recently was PoP with a “behind the scenes” disc), I never even look at it.  All I want is to play the game.  Thats why I buy the game.  If I wanted NVG's, I'd go out and get a good set thats actually designed to be used by hunters or military personnel.  If I wanted a batarang, I'd go get a good one that is made of solid metal, and actually works, so I could hurt people with it from down the street when they piss me off.
