RE: Fallout 76 power armor edition: It actually gets better! The Game-Stop edition was also subject of recall as the cloth padding on the inside of the "power armor helmet" was actually moldy and dangerous to breath. A truly legendary launch for Bethesda :D
I remember Fallout 76 recieving additional trouble when it sold Nuka-Cola Dark bottles. It was a no-name brand rum in a low quality plastic case, didn't look like the one from the game. The website had a bunch of fake 5 star reviews on it too. It costs $80, which is very steep for a plastic bottle with an unknown rum inside of it. This Nuka-Cola Dark thing happened after the whole canvas bag thing as well.

It looks like a good CE, in my opinion. Maybe it's because I've seen so many of those Lego Star Wars helmet busts, but I wouldn't expect a wearable helmet unless it explicitly said it was wearable. I suppose on Microsoft's part, they could have shown the helmet displayed on the stand in prerelease images.
I honestly didn't think anyone thought they could wear it. In all the promotions, it was clearly just a statue/game case. I wasn't misled when I pre-ordered it. And it sits comfortably on a shelf behind me still!
Ah, the "Geralt under the effects of eight different witcher potions and concoctions simultaneously" statue, the perfect companion for your alchemy playthrough. Our guy's not feeling so good.
Huh.... Have to re-check mine when I'm back home in a few months cuz I can't remember it being that ugly. Never had a place to properly showcase it so didn't take it out of the box much.
As a guy in the military, they're actually kinda shit for carrying things, too. Put anything even moderately heavy in them and they dig into your hand.
@@daviddaugherty2816for some reason we had a supervisor who insisted we do bag drags with our 72 hour bags every week until he could “treat us like adults”. Not saying it was wrong but there were definitely other ways to assess this… like you know, how good we were at our jobs? But anyway carrying those bags for about a mile to and from work during a korean typhoon was probably the worst way to start and end your day.
@@iowasucks9494 Sounds about right. Treating people like adults is an alien concept in the military. God forbid one of your troops messes up of their own free will. Then it's _your_ fault.
I don’t think number 6 should be on there. It’s true that it’s disappointing but this is one of the few times Warner Bros should be praised for their actions. They easily could’ve sold the product as it was, but refused to sell something that didn’t meet their expectations. Then rightfully gave people their money back and even apologized. Heck most companies would’ve charged people for the costumes to make up for the lost costs. But not only did they give them to the people who had their orders cancelled…they gave them to the whole public! That’s really commendable so much so that it’s uncanny
It's not commendable when the decision is entirely motivated by weighing the costs of replacing ludicrously fragile statues against outright cancellation. "Sorry, it'd just be cheaper to not send the fucking things at all," is hardly a noble attitude worth praising.
@@NickW855 Or they did the hard maths, realised that the Batmobiles were going to have the Batmobile Edition selling at a loss, and cancelled it without completing the purchase from the manufacturers.
@@dungeonsanddobbers2683 Even if it did sell at a loss, it's still worth selling: (1) It's a capped loss since collectors editions are limited anyway, and (2) game promotion. Think of it as advertising.
That Halo helmet + stand / dvd holder actually looks pretty good to me. Obviously, it would be awesome to get a full-size, wearable helmet, but that's a pretty unrealistic expectation imo. A motorcycle helmet is like $200. A football helmet can be like $500.
They did dead space remaster with a wearable helmet.. I got it, it's made of plastic but I can wear it and it got LEDs for the blue eyes. Also payday 3 with the mask. I love it but it's hot as hell when you wear it for to long.
Bethesda did a full on Power Armor helmet with extra stuff for their 200$ Fallout76 collectors edition. Surely the game and the collectors edition were a dumpster fire release, but they did deliver a full sized helmet for that price. The Halo Legendary edition cost 129.99$ (2007) which is roughly 157$ considering inflation between 2007 and 2018 when Fallout76 came out. Now let's give Bethesda benefit of the doubt and say the nylon bag and moldy helmets were a result of embarrassingly poor resource calculation and that final cost of the advertised collector's edition (with a functional game) should've been 210$ pre-tax. That's still 210$ including the helmet, a canvas dufflebag, other tid bits nobody cared about and a full game, not just the helmet. So it's realistic. The actual question is, would you rather spend 157$ on a game with a cool DVD case, a bit of exclusive digital content and behind the scenes content, or would you rather spend 210$ and get a full sized helmet and some extra physical goodies? Assuming both games are fully functional and the items have been advertised correctly?
I think Capcom could have prevented half the outrage over the appearance of those infinity stones if they had included a large chocolate rabbit in the bundle and promotional imagery.
How hard would it have been to make them a bit smaller and from resin? I mean, people making their own sets of dice for DnD manage all sorts of cool things.
I actually bought one of the Arkham Batmobile editions on eBay. I thought it would just be loose in a basic box but it came in official, premium packaging. It had everything else that was part of the collector's edition, even had the slot where the game would have been. The Batmobile was great, though I understand why they couldn't have shipped it - the transformation only worked after pressing the button a couple of times, and eventually one of the guns got stuck in the out position, so I can't transform it anymore. Looks great on the shelf still

And it probably was too expensive to make to boot.
Kiss From a Rose and Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me over the end titles - if you made it to the end you got a much-deserved treat. (Plus as we found out just two years later, it could get worse.)
It also gave us Tommy Lee Jones’s hilarious line to Jim Carrey when they first met: “I hate you. I really don’t like you. I cannot sanction your buffoonery.”
I would've thought that Dead Island Riptide would've made the list for the bikini torso, but that thing's now apparently enough of a sought-out collectible that it goes for around $300.
I can definitely see how that transforming Batmobile would have been unreliable. In fact I bet quality tests showed a strong risk that they would break during transit, and that was what convinced them to cancel it.
I think it might be more that the manufacturing costs of the transforming Batmobile were going to eat too much into the profit margin. Compare the high quality of that Batmobile to just how _cheap_ the gizzits are in every other Collector's Edition.
The Saints Row 2 collectors edition was awful. Looked like it came with a fancy replica gun, but it was in fact just a vacuum formed bit of plastic packaging and a crap USB stick.
i don't remember how it was given out, if it was part of the pre order bonus or what, but the desktop skin (or whatever it's called when it changes everything) was pretty cool, it wasn't just a SR2 themed background image it changed everthing, icons, the mouse cursor, the start bar, and whatever else i can't remember.
I'm surprised Duke Nukem Forever wasn't on this list. That collector's edition came with a bust, a comic, a hardcover book, and some other things, but then you're stuck owning the game Duke Nukem Forever.
On top of the bag debacle, which gets even worse when you find out they gave legit canvas versions to influencers, the helmet itself was also contaminated with toxic mold.
It's annoying when publishers send out inflencer and press packs that have some pretty cool stuff, only for the customers to get meh quality. I recall that there was a cool puzzle box sent out for Skywalker Saga's release.
I was 16 when Halo 3 came out so I drove my cousin who was 12 to the Hastings at 11:00pm because they were opening at midnight for the release of Halo 3 so we both bought the collectors edition. He was so excited because he thought he would be able to were the helmet but I kept telling it was a scaled down version yet he kept insisting he could make it fit. The look on his face when saw it was just a cover for the stand PRICELESS and for the whole ride home he kept yelling at me to go back so he could get a refund while I could barely drive straight I was laughing so hard
You guys actually made me give my Witcher 3 statue a closer look. In all of 9+ years I'd never noticed the bad paint job on his face; I've always just looked at his armour and swords and the griffon, which are quite detailed and look good imo 😆
I have a suggestion for a future list video. Seven video game villains who got ignored by karma. These villains never actually get punished for their crimes in the game they come from. An example is Viridi from Kid Icarus Uprising, she's responsible for causing just as much death and destruction as Hades but is never actually dealt with by Pit and Palutena. The most they do is defeat some of her soldiers and two of her commanders and destroy her reset bomb factory.
I remember the days when collectors edition stuff just came with the base game as “feelies”. Like the Ultima series with its cloth maps, ankhs, coins, a moon stone, an interview tape, etc. i still have my cloth maps.
Although in those cases it was less a premium and more of a necessity. The cloth maps are basically your only world maps for the earlier Ultima games and they help you navigate the otherwise unknowable moon gates lol It was also a form of copy protection, as piracy back then was mostly people copying games into floppy disks and spreading them around, where the games would require you to answer a question or use resources that only the included manuals (and books) would have. So most pirates would just get stuck unless they had access to that material as well somehow.
I have to say I don't have much sympathy for people who bought that Dead Sapce 2 CE. The image pretty clearly showed the plasma cutter to be the size of the disc so that's what I would have expected
Not really true at all lol. Have you actually bothered to check prices for things like original figures? Both my elden ring Collector's editions look real nice too.
Wow my Witcher 3 collectors edition is different, paint job was okay not like the one you chose, also came with two decks of gwent cards (2 different factions), and a box signed by the development team, everything is the same! I love it, think it’s the best collectors edition I have. Most disappointing for me was Arkham knight, preordered the Batmobile edition but a week before release the edition was recalled because the Batmobile was to dangerous 🙄 Edit: Oh you mention it!!!!🙌 and you mention it with Witcher as well, and oh my god is that really why it was cancelled. Now I’m even angrier 😡
Thank you for mentioning the Batmobile!!!! Not only did they axe the collectors edition days before the launch, they REFUNDED us the money instead of giving us the other special edition. I got lucky enough to preorder that one at least, but that was the last collectors edition I ever bought. Not only that, Project Triforce called us “butt hurt” after we started complaining on their website and the started banning us. I was SO pissed since I am a collector of batmobiles in general. Now knowing that SOME people got it, I’m even more pissed.
This is the dumbest comment I’ve ever seen, anything is collectible. Collectible doesn’t mean it’s valuable. Is that the message here? Because people don’t collect something to sell it, that’s the point of the collection, do give value to the person collecting it. Dumb take.
To be fair the dead space two plasma cutter being smaller than human hand was probably deliberate considering the toy gun laws that many countries have especially in the US where you'd have different states having their own regulations on it and a set of guidelines that would require it to look as ridiculous as possible.
I was reminded of the F76 collectors edition on your bad pre-order bonus videos. Very glad you covered it here. It's insane that Bethesda did straight up consumer fraud and their first response was "fuck off"
I remember that originally CD-Project was considering other poses for Geralt and griffin. They even published photos of them after settling down with the final project and let me tell you, the one of the discarded ones was leagues better that what we got. It basically looked like the griffin was about to get the upper hand, when stricken through the hart by Geralt putting all his mutant strength to push his sword through the beast's chest. Far more dynamic, and menacing. Displaying how hard such fight must have been and how imposing opponent griffins are. In comparison the one we ended up with, looks like a cloddish butchering of an overgrown poultry...
14:53 I love how you all just feel like good friends, enough to keep these silly, candid responses in the video! Despite being affiliated with Xbox, there is nothing Microsoft about you!
Andy used to work in the magazine “inside Xbox” then when he left he took the name outside xbox. Not sure what video he said it in, maybe some old qna.
It's insane that we live in a world where a big studio can get more money by cancelling a finished movie than releasing it. At least back in the day, if a studio felt that a movie would under perform in box office, they'd release it straight to TV and tape/DVD... I guess the equivalent nowadays would be streaming, but Warner didn't do it anyways.
Number six hit home hard, one of the very few collectors editions I actually purchased, only for it to be ripped away. I remember standing in EB Games just staring at the worker who told me that I am not getting the Batmobile that I paid $250 dollars for months in advance.
Me at the start of the video : that Bethesda "canvas" bag is going to be on the list isn't it Me at the end of the video: yay a Producer Jon mention, good to know he is still around with the new studio
Speaking as someone who works in the toy industry, that batmobile fiasco reeks of WB putting in the orders ahead of time (factories are hesitant to commit to an order unless it reaches a certain threshold which they can deem profitable for them), so I feel WB put out pre-orders before finalizing the deal with their overseas manufacturers, and then once they had samples and pricing set they must've not had enough pre-orders to justify the manufacturing costs for meeting the quality they were aiming to get - and that was most likely before distribution costs came into play. So they decided to cut their losses, eat the the investment, and most likely destroy whatever allotments they could.
The funny thing is that people actually looked into how much it would've cost to have the can as bags va the nylon and found the difference in cost was very minor so there was the belief they just cut corners to make a greater profit.
I think that one is forgivable. It's still a cool looking collectable. Now if they had falsely advertised it as human sized, and wearable; that would've been disappointing, but I don't think that was the case.
@@plehis123 Yea, for me it's not that bad as some others on the list. Also as it was mentioned/shown that it was meant to go on the stand. Definitely disappointing that you can't wear it, but not that bad. Since for me, it feels like a really cool way to store a couple of games, while showing off the "helmet."
Just to also point out; Dick Grayson in a Batman movie also said that chicks love the car when he stole the Batmobile at a time he and Bruce didn't see eye to eye. So must be true.
I have that Geralt and it's great! The paint job is far better than that. Plus it's not made of plastic, it's made of polystone like Sideshow collectibles. It's also huge.
I'm getting flashbacks to Skybound and Telltale's TWD collectors edition... it took them about 3 years, but at least they did compensate people eventually! Lee and Clem sit on my shelf as a constant reminder of the atrocities of: a) the apocalypse b) sub-par paint jobs and c) buying something expensive without first seeing it in person
Ngl was expecting each collectable to be a bestheda one lol. You had the canvas bag incident with fallout76, the nuka dark glass bottle incident, the pipboy incident for fallout 4, starfeild collectors edition with the functional yet dead watch...
I find collector editions to be overall annoying because then i have to make room for all the extra junk. Then there's the cursed collector editions with no game included.
I remember the Halo 3 helmet. I still thought it was bad ass. Plus, you could remove the screws holding in the center filler, making yourself a helmet that was not only uncomfortable, but couldn't be seen through. Hillarious and amazing.
My band were going to release a Collector's Edition of one of our old albums that is actually shorter. Over the years a couple of the tracks haven't held up that well. We thought it would be funny, but it never happened.
I knew about the MvC one and forgot about the Fallout 76 one. Can't believe I forgot about it, too, as the helmet had mold that could just straight-up kill you if you wore it for long enough. An honorable mention goes to Xenoblade Chronicles X. Generally a cool CE, but the USB stick that came with the OST had something on it that would mess with your drive letters, potentially messing up your entire PC. Also, shoutout to Prima's Dark Souls 3 strategy guide, which came with an awful solid piece of plastic that was kind of shaped like an estus flask.
To be fair to the replica plasma cutter, most people don't even look at the scale if it's given. Fewer people would've been upset, yes, but there still would've been a backlash from those expecting one they could fool around with.
I used to really want the collector’s edition of Bioshock that came with the Big Daddy statue and the Mortal Kombat 9 collector’s edition with the book end statues.
I remember the gamestop employee was so smug when the Batmobile edition was sold out and told me he would sell me one but I had to pay it off now. I was grinning as I walked in after they were all canceled. 😂
9:03 they’re talking about Master Chief being instantly recognizable, but (granted, as someone who plays neither game) I am unable to distinguish Master Chief and Doom Guy from each other without some sort of outside context. Even with outside context I don’t always get it right. Thought this was Doom Guy at first.
@@jacobangel9621i’m 42. The first time i saw Halo i said, “They ripped off the Doom Guy.” 20 years later, its still clear as day they just took Doom Guy and gave him a little more armor.
The irony of the Arkham Knight collector's edition is that the item they said was poor quality was actually really cool, and it was the game itself was broken. But they still released the game in a broken state while not releasing the very cool looking Batmobile.
To be fair, the Halo 3 helmet was never advertised as being wearable. Some people were just expecting it to be because they were really fucking stupid.
I remember one of the first special editions ever released, the Lunar 1 and 2 remasters for the PS1. They came with little figurines, the soundtracks, some gorgeous hard cover manuals, and 2 had a little medallion like one the characters. I wish I still had them in my possession, but I left them in storage at my sister's house, a whole hemisphere away. 😢
While I now realize that my Geralt statue indeed has a botched face, what was more of a disapointment was the fact, that you could not install the game straight from the DVDs. I had to rip the file from the DVDs and correct the path of the files manually to install the game. I think even if my internet would not have been down at the time, it was still faster than german internet would have allowed to install from GOG.
I was disappointed you couldn't wear the Halo 3 helmet too, but it still maintained a prominent spot in my gaming area for years before I lost it in a move.
Thank God I've only got one of these, the Halo 3 one and coincidentally it altered my desire to ever order another pre-order collector's edition of anything.
Uniopenable canteen? Glad Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood didn't make that mistake. That one was fully operational. Poland knows that people want to drink.
The Halo 3 helmet fiasco was the most important collector's edition in gaming history. Game companies learned a valuable lesson there which led to me getting awesome wearable Titanfall and Mass Effect helmets.
OMG we actually got the Dead Space plasma cutter! We found it hilarious and we still have it and sometimes point it at each other (me and my husband, for context). It's so tiny and dumb, we love it. XD
Tell you what wasn't disappointing, the Banishers: Ghosts Of New Eden collectors edition. You get a writing journal with pre painted pictures and a feather and some ink. Plus a ghost!..that last one may have just been a coincidence though
At least if you were unhappy about the FO76 bag, you could cheer yourself up by buying a replica power armour helmet.... that turned out to be contaminated with mold
Hey guys, I love the new studio with its actual background and all. But can I suggest some sound dampeners? It's a bit echoey. Love you guys, I'll keep watching either way.
Anytime this subject comes up, I feel obliged to mention my eternal disappointment at the Fable 3 CE, and I'm not even someone who hates Peter Molyneaux. How they totally dropped the ball on this thing was markedly absurd, but I'll try to streamline my explanation. ==What was promised== | ==What we got== -Metal game case | -standard, cardboard slip cover -Tarot style Fate cards from in-game | -PDF to print out the cards yourself * -a small Hobbe figurine | -production on figure cancelled (too expensive) -an armor set modeled after MC's armor | -this we did get * In the end, the SE only came with a cardboard slip cover and a code to download the Master Chief armor. Except they left the code out of a bunch of copies, so eventually had to give it to everyone for free. The tarot cards could also be printed out from the website for free by anyone, so we basically paid an extra $20 for a cardboard cover which came standard on a lot of games then. -Also, they were promoting the Hobbe figure on twitter and asking people to post photos of their own around town or hiding in the bushes or whatever, whoops.
Duke Nukem Forever's collector edition. It came with the standard art book, statue, some poker chips and dice. BUT, get this, it came with Duke Nukem Forever.
As an owner of the Fallout 76 Power Armor Edition, the thing that pissed me off wasn't the bag; it was that I paid $200 and the damn thing didn't even come with a game disc. Just a cardboard insert with a download code.
RE: Fallout 76 power armor edition:

@@daviddaugherty2816for some reason we had a supervisor who insisted we do bag drags with our 72 hour bags every week until he could “treat us like adults”. Not saying it was wrong but there were definitely other ways to assess this… like you know, how good we were at our jobs? But anyway carrying those bags for about a mile to and from work during a korean typhoon was probably the worst way to start and end your day.
I'm not surprised that you'll get a better deal and quality at a military surplus store then a overpriced collector edition set.
@@iowasucks9494 Sounds about right. Treating people like adults is an alien concept in the military. God forbid one of your troops messes up of their own free will. Then it's _your_ fault.

I don’t think number 6 should be on there. It’s true that it’s disappointing but this is one of the few times Warner Bros should be praised for their actions. They easily could’ve sold the product as it was, but refused to sell something that didn’t meet their expectations. Then rightfully gave people their money back and even apologized. Heck most companies would’ve charged people for the costumes to make up for the lost costs. But not only did they give them to the people who had their orders cancelled…they gave them to the whole public! That’s really commendable so much so that it’s uncanny
Yeah but it was still disappointing for the people who ordered it. Just because it was the right thing to do doesn't mean someone can't be bummed.
It's not commendable when the decision is entirely motivated by weighing the costs of replacing ludicrously fragile statues against outright cancellation. "Sorry, it'd just be cheaper to not send the fucking things at all," is hardly a noble attitude worth praising.
@@NickW855 Or they did the hard maths, realised that the Batmobiles were going to have the Batmobile Edition selling at a loss, and cancelled it without completing the purchase from the manufacturers.
Deserves to be in its own list: 7 times developers actually tried to fix their mistakes. Also included in the list: FF14, No Man's Sky, FO76
@@dungeonsanddobbers2683 Even if it did sell at a loss, it's still worth selling: (1) It's a capped loss since collectors editions are limited anyway, and (2) game promotion. Think of it as advertising.
That Halo helmet + stand / dvd holder actually looks pretty good to me. Obviously, it would be awesome to get a full-size, wearable helmet, but that's a pretty unrealistic expectation imo. A motorcycle helmet is like $200. A football helmet can be like $500.
Agreed! Now if I can find that collector / legendary edition in store I will bought it
They did dead space remaster with a wearable helmet.. I got it, it's made of plastic but I can wear it and it got LEDs for the blue eyes.
Also payday 3 with the mask. I love it but it's hot as hell when you wear it for to long.
Bethesda did a full on Power Armor helmet with extra stuff for their 200$ Fallout76 collectors edition. Surely the game and the collectors edition were a dumpster fire release, but they did deliver a full sized helmet for that price. The Halo Legendary edition cost 129.99$ (2007) which is roughly 157$ considering inflation between 2007 and 2018 when Fallout76 came out.
Now let's give Bethesda benefit of the doubt and say the nylon bag and moldy helmets were a result of embarrassingly poor resource calculation and that final cost of the advertised collector's edition (with a functional game) should've been 210$ pre-tax. That's still 210$ including the helmet, a canvas dufflebag, other tid bits nobody cared about and a full game, not just the helmet. So it's realistic. The actual question is, would you rather spend 157$ on a game with a cool DVD case, a bit of exclusive digital content and behind the scenes content, or would you rather spend 210$ and get a full sized helmet and some extra physical goodies? Assuming both games are fully functional and the items have been advertised correctly?
I think Capcom could have prevented half the outrage over the appearance of those infinity stones if they had included a large chocolate rabbit in the bundle and promotional imagery.
How hard would it have been to make them a bit smaller and from resin? I mean, people making their own sets of dice for DnD manage all sorts of cool things.
I actually bought one of the Arkham Batmobile editions on eBay. I thought it would just be loose in a basic box but it came in official, premium packaging. It had everything else that was part of the collector's edition, even had the slot where the game would have been. The Batmobile was great, though I understand why they couldn't have shipped it - the transformation only worked after pressing the button a couple of times, and eventually one of the guns got stuck in the out position, so I can't transform it anymore. Looks great on the shelf still
And it probably was too expensive to make to boot.
This, I guarantee, is the _real_ reason it was cancelled.
The car wasn't the only good thing about Batman Forever: Kiss From A Rose slapped...
Kiss From a Rose and Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me over the end titles - if you made it to the end you got a much-deserved treat.
(Plus as we found out just two years later, it could get worse.)
There was a lot of quality on that soundtrack. The Hunter Gets Captured By the Game was a great track as well.
It also gave us Tommy Lee Jones’s hilarious line to Jim Carrey when they first met: “I hate you. I really don’t like you. I cannot sanction your buffoonery.”
I would've thought that Dead Island Riptide would've made the list for the bikini torso, but that thing's now apparently enough of a sought-out collectible that it goes for around $300.
That one was covered in an earlier video about most disturbing items in collector's editions. (Linked in the video description above.)
Say what you will about the thing, they promised a bikini torso and they delivered a bikini torso
See, that one isn't disappointing, it's just...tasteless. By all accounts it was exactly as advertised, for better or for worse.
Sweary Jane is even more hilarious than normal Jane 😅
Cue memory of "I can see your generous split."
Hearing Jane say "Eggs? They look like eggs, glowing eggs" in the most British accent possible is forever burned into my memory 😂😂😂
I can definitely see how that transforming Batmobile would have been unreliable. In fact I bet quality tests showed a strong risk that they would break during transit, and that was what convinced them to cancel it.
Most likely. How many times could one transform the Batmobile before it broke? Too many tiny parts for my liking.
I bought one of the Batmobile editions on eBay and, yes, it did break after a while, so I can see why they couldn't release them officially
it might have been partly due to it being unreliable but i'd wager it was more to do with it being more expensive to produce than they had expected.
At least they were honest enough to cancel it and refund the money instead of shipping junk like the other entries.
I think it might be more that the manufacturing costs of the transforming Batmobile were going to eat too much into the profit margin.
Compare the high quality of that Batmobile to just how _cheap_ the gizzits are in every other Collector's Edition.
The Saints Row 2 collectors edition was awful. Looked like it came with a fancy replica gun, but it was in fact just a vacuum formed bit of plastic packaging and a crap USB stick.
i don't remember how it was given out, if it was part of the pre order bonus or what, but the desktop skin (or whatever it's called when it changes everything) was pretty cool, it wasn't just a SR2 themed background image it changed everthing, icons, the mouse cursor, the start bar, and whatever else i can't remember.
I'm surprised Duke Nukem Forever wasn't on this list. That collector's edition came with a bust, a comic, a hardcover book, and some other things, but then you're stuck owning the game Duke Nukem Forever.
And to think, for most games releasing a collector's edition without the actual game is a sin...
At like 2:20 I thought she was gonna say "don't boo me, you wrote it!"
That would've been a really sick last-minute burn
On top of the bag debacle, which gets even worse when you find out they gave legit canvas versions to influencers, the helmet itself was also contaminated with toxic mold.
That was actually a different helmet, one to do with Gamestop.
I remember Andy talking about the bag. Can't remember if he had gotten one or was in the group of disappointed customers who got nylon though.
iirc they sent one to Markiplier for marketing and he wasn't even interested in the game.
It's annoying when publishers send out inflencer and press packs that have some pretty cool stuff, only for the customers to get meh quality.
I recall that there was a cool puzzle box sent out for Skywalker Saga's release.
I was 16 when Halo 3 came out so I drove my cousin who was 12 to the Hastings at 11:00pm because they were opening at midnight for the release of Halo 3 so we both bought the collectors edition. He was so excited because he thought he would be able to were the helmet but I kept telling it was a scaled down version yet he kept insisting he could make it fit. The look on his face when saw it was just a cover for the stand PRICELESS and for the whole ride home he kept yelling at me to go back so he could get a refund while I could barely drive straight I was laughing so hard
You guys actually made me give my Witcher 3 statue a closer look. In all of 9+ years I'd never noticed the bad paint job on his face; I've always just looked at his armour and swords and the griffon, which are quite detailed and look good imo 😆
Same. :D
I have a suggestion for a future list video. Seven video game villains who got ignored by karma. These villains never actually get punished for their crimes in the game they come from. An example is Viridi from Kid Icarus Uprising, she's responsible for causing just as much death and destruction as Hades but is never actually dealt with by Pit and Palutena. The most they do is defeat some of her soldiers and two of her commanders and destroy her reset bomb factory.
Anyone else hate that trope?
@@juliagoodwin9510 on rare occasions it does work like in undertale where YOU are the villain.
@@celinnejansson5679 Fair.
From what I remember, I think Captain Qwark in Ratchet & Clank 1 got off very lightly for the crap he pulled in that game.
@@juliagoodwin9510that’s a trope? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of this
ah 5:05 the great canvas famine of 2018. dark times
Lmao
I remember the days when collectors edition stuff just came with the base game as “feelies”. Like the Ultima series with its cloth maps, ankhs, coins, a moon stone, an interview tape, etc. i still have my cloth maps.
Although in those cases it was less a premium and more of a necessity. The cloth maps are basically your only world maps for the earlier Ultima games and they help you navigate the otherwise unknowable moon gates lol
It was also a form of copy protection, as piracy back then was mostly people copying games into floppy disks and spreading them around, where the games would require you to answer a question or use resources that only the included manuals (and books) would have. So most pirates would just get stuck unless they had access to that material as well somehow.
I have to say I don't have much sympathy for people who bought that Dead Sapce 2 CE. The image pretty clearly showed the plasma cutter to be the size of the disc so that's what I would have expected
Also how big could they assume it to be for the price.
TL;DR - Don't buy collectors editions when you could get any random artist online to get you 10x the quality for half the price.
Not really true at all lol. Have you actually bothered to check prices for things like original figures? Both my elden ring Collector's editions look real nice too.
Wow my Witcher 3 collectors edition is different, paint job was okay not like the one you chose, also came with two decks of gwent cards (2 different factions), and a box signed by the development team, everything is the same! I love it, think it’s the best collectors edition I have. Most disappointing for me was Arkham knight, preordered the Batmobile edition but a week before release the edition was recalled because the Batmobile was to dangerous 🙄
Edit: Oh you mention it!!!!🙌 and you mention it with Witcher as well, and oh my god is that really why it was cancelled. Now I’m even angrier 😡
Thank you for mentioning the Batmobile!!!! Not only did they axe the collectors edition days before the launch, they REFUNDED us the money instead of giving us the other special edition. I got lucky enough to preorder that one at least, but that was the last collectors edition I ever bought. Not only that, Project Triforce called us “butt hurt” after we started complaining on their website and the started banning us. I was SO pissed since I am a collector of batmobiles in general.
Now knowing that SOME people got it, I’m even more pissed.
Wow, makes me glad Triforce went out of business and honestly maybe the game dev had good reason to terminate their business arrangement with them.
I think I was 5 when my uncle told me "If it says collectible, it aint"
30 years later it's as true as ever.
Yep. Beenie Babies did not pay for my college education, and Funko Pops won't pay for the next generation.
Agreed. Once publishers try to make things "collectible" you just end up with A LOT of crap.
This is the dumbest comment I’ve ever seen, anything is collectible. Collectible doesn’t mean it’s valuable. Is that the message here? Because people don’t collect something to sell it, that’s the point of the collection, do give value to the person collecting it. Dumb take.
@@zeikerskinda what I was thinking. 👍
To be fair the dead space two plasma cutter being smaller than human hand was probably deliberate considering the toy gun laws that many countries have especially in the US where you'd have different states having their own regulations on it and a set of guidelines that would require it to look as ridiculous as possible.
I was reminded of the F76 collectors edition on your bad pre-order bonus videos. Very glad you covered it here.
It's insane that Bethesda did straight up consumer fraud and their first response was "fuck off"
Very surprising to learn that Bethesda's legal department missed all the classes on contract law.
That statue of Geralt makes him look like he's been on a three month drug binge, using his eyeballs as veins to inject said drugs....
I remember that originally CD-Project was considering other poses for Geralt and griffin. They even published photos of them after settling down with the final project and let me tell you, the one of the discarded ones was leagues better that what we got. It basically looked like the griffin was about to get the upper hand, when stricken through the hart by Geralt putting all his mutant strength to push his sword through the beast's chest. Far more dynamic, and menacing. Displaying how hard such fight must have been and how imposing opponent griffins are.
In comparison the one we ended up with, looks like a cloddish butchering of an overgrown poultry...
14:53 I love how you all just feel like good friends, enough to keep these silly, candid responses in the video! Despite being affiliated with Xbox, there is nothing Microsoft about you!
I don't think they are actually part of Xbox/Microsoft, it's just the name. Might be wrong though.
Andy used to work in the magazine “inside Xbox” then when he left he took the name outside xbox. Not sure what video he said it in, maybe some old qna.
They're not actually affiliated with Xbox, it's just a name.
I worked on the Batgirl movie and ohhhh boy that joke…that hurt…
It's insane that we live in a world where a big studio can get more money by cancelling a finished movie than releasing it. At least back in the day, if a studio felt that a movie would under perform in box office, they'd release it straight to TV and tape/DVD... I guess the equivalent nowadays would be streaming, but Warner didn't do it anyways.
Number six hit home hard, one of the very few collectors editions I actually purchased, only for it to be ripped away. I remember standing in EB Games just staring at the worker who told me that I am not getting the Batmobile that I paid $250 dollars for months in advance.
Those are Easter Eggs... 😅 8:18

Me at the start of the video : that Bethesda "canvas" bag is going to be on the list isn't it
Me at the end of the video: yay a Producer Jon mention, good to know he is still around with the new studio
Speaking as someone who works in the toy industry, that batmobile fiasco reeks of WB putting in the orders ahead of time (factories are hesitant to commit to an order unless it reaches a certain threshold which they can deem profitable for them), so I feel WB put out pre-orders before finalizing the deal with their overseas manufacturers, and then once they had samples and pricing set they must've not had enough pre-orders to justify the manufacturing costs for meeting the quality they were aiming to get - and that was most likely before distribution costs came into play.
So they decided to cut their losses, eat the the investment, and most likely destroy whatever allotments they could.
Dead Space 2's collector's edition comes with the noisy cricket version of the plasma cutter.
The funny thing is that people actually looked into how much it would've cost to have the can as bags va the nylon and found the difference in cost was very minor so there was the belief they just cut corners to make a greater profit.
Was always disappointed that the Halo 3 Legendary edition helmet wasn't wearable
I didn't even get that and I was disappointed.
Tbh I think it looked great.
I think that one is forgivable. It's still a cool looking collectable. Now if they had falsely advertised it as human sized, and wearable; that would've been disappointing, but I don't think that was the case.
@@plehis123 Yea, for me it's not that bad as some others on the list. Also as it was mentioned/shown that it was meant to go on the stand. Definitely disappointing that you can't wear it, but not that bad. Since for me, it feels like a really cool way to store a couple of games, while showing off the "helmet."
Just to also point out; Dick Grayson in a Batman movie also said that chicks love the car when he stole the Batmobile at a time he and Bruce didn't see eye to eye. So must be true.
0:11 That one belongs to Ellen, of course.
I have that Geralt and it's great! The paint job is far better than that. Plus it's not made of plastic, it's made of polystone like Sideshow collectibles. It's also huge.

@@gilded_lady I was going to bring up an old example since I didn't know they were still doing it
I remember the Halo 3 helmet. I still thought it was bad ass. Plus, you could remove the screws holding in the center filler, making yourself a helmet that was not only uncomfortable, but couldn't be seen through. Hillarious and amazing.
My band were going to release a Collector's Edition of one of our old albums that is actually shorter. Over the years a couple of the tracks haven't held up that well. We thought it would be funny, but it never happened.
I knew about the MvC one and forgot about the Fallout 76 one. Can't believe I forgot about it, too, as the helmet had mold that could just straight-up kill you if you wore it for long enough.
An honorable mention goes to Xenoblade Chronicles X. Generally a cool CE, but the USB stick that came with the OST had something on it that would mess with your drive letters, potentially messing up your entire PC.
Also, shoutout to Prima's Dark Souls 3 strategy guide, which came with an awful solid piece of plastic that was kind of shaped like an estus flask.
To be fair to the replica plasma cutter, most people don't even look at the scale if it's given. Fewer people would've been upset, yes, but there still would've been a backlash from those expecting one they could fool around with.
I used to really want the collector’s edition of Bioshock that came with the Big Daddy statue and the Mortal Kombat 9 collector’s edition with the book end statues.
At least it was only the wrong material for the bag, not like bugthesda shipped mouldy helmets for people to wear
That was actually down to gamestop not using the right materials for it, not really Bethesda's fault on that one.
I remember the gamestop employee was so smug when the Batmobile edition was sold out and told me he would sell me one but I had to pay it off now. I was grinning as I walked in after they were all canceled. 😂

The irony of the Arkham Knight collector's edition is that the item they said was poor quality was actually really cool, and it was the game itself was broken. But they still released the game in a broken state while not releasing the very cool looking Batmobile.
To be fair, the Halo 3 helmet was never advertised as being wearable. Some people were just expecting it to be because they were really fucking stupid.
I remember one of the first special editions ever released, the Lunar 1 and 2 remasters for the PS1. They came with little figurines, the soundtracks, some gorgeous hard cover manuals, and 2 had a little medallion like one the characters. I wish I still had them in my possession, but I left them in storage at my sister's house, a whole hemisphere away. 😢
Didnt one come with a map? I think there were hand puppets for Alex and Ghaleon.
@@MLBlue30 that's right, there were maps. The hand puppets were for some limited edition that was even more money I think, I didn't have those.
While I now realize that my Geralt statue indeed has a botched face, what was more of a disapointment was the fact, that you could not install the game straight from the DVDs.
I had to rip the file from the DVDs and correct the path of the files manually to install the game.
I think even if my internet would not have been down at the time, it was still faster than german internet would have allowed to install from GOG.
Pre landfill plastic perfectly describes a lot of stuff sold as "collectible"

OMG we actually got the Dead Space plasma cutter! We found it hilarious and we still have it and sometimes point it at each other (me and my husband, for context). It's so tiny and dumb, we love it. XD
I have the World at War canteen. There was just a solder blob holding the cap in place that easily broke with a little bit of brute force.

Anytime this subject comes up, I feel obliged to mention my eternal disappointment at the Fable 3 CE, and I'm not even someone who hates Peter Molyneaux.
How they totally dropped the ball on this thing was markedly absurd, but I'll try to streamline my explanation.
==What was promised== | ==What we got==
-Metal game case | -standard, cardboard slip cover
-Tarot style Fate cards from in-game | -PDF to print out the cards yourself *
-a small Hobbe figurine | -production on figure cancelled (too expensive)
-an armor set modeled after MC's armor | -this we did get *
In the end, the SE only came with a cardboard slip cover and a code to download the Master Chief armor. Except they left the code out of a bunch of copies, so eventually had to give it to everyone for free. The tarot cards could also be printed out from the website for free by anyone, so we basically paid an extra $20 for a cardboard cover which came standard on a lot of games then.
-Also, they were promoting the Hobbe figure on twitter and asking people to post photos of their own around town or hiding in the bushes or whatever, whoops.
Duke Nukem Forever's collector edition. It came with the standard art book, statue, some poker chips and dice. BUT, get this, it came with Duke Nukem Forever.
