Video Game Collector’s Editions That Weren’t Worth the Money
Mass Effect 3 N7 Collector’s Edition
For some people, Mass Effect 3 was a disappointment, and some folks were disappointed as early as the game showing up at their door on release day.
The Mass Effect 3 N7 Collector’s Edition was pretty lackluster. A good, standard collector’s edition usually nets you a soundtrack, art book, and some other small bonus, and the Mass Effect 3 N7 Collector’s Edition is as standard as they come. Too bad it isn’t any good.
It definitely has the 70-page art book that was promised, albeit with very small pages only showing one or two images per page. But unfortunately, the soundtrack is digital-only, because god forbid EA should give you anything tangible for the money that you’ve spent.
Then there’s the bonus lithograph, which could have just as easily been included in the art book, as well as the small N7 patch.
Hopefully, you weren’t one of the people who ponied up $80 at launch as you can get it for around $10 now. If you want it, that is.
