I'll have to start a book-sniffers group on BSN. It will make many, many heads tilt with startled confusion.

But we'll understand just fine.

Collectors. Got it w/ ME2, so need to get it w/ ME3. Art book and femshep on the cover are a plus.

Be nicer if you instead gave it to people in suffering & need instead (I hear Turkey just suffered an earthquate... rather than wiping your bum with it, send it to them instead). There's also no shortage of toilet paper in most 1st-world nations as far as I know... and printed money probably chaffs anyway 

[WolfForce99]

CE all the way.

[Scimal]

Premium metal case featuring commemorative artwork of Commander Shepard

Wouldn't buy outside of the CE. I like the series, but I prefer von Gogh, Salvador Dali, or perhaps some ****** on my walls.

70-page hardbound art book featuring hundreds of unique and gorgeous illustrations from the BioWare development team

Again, I like the game, but I'm not down that much of a game-art collector.

Limited edition Mass Effect comic by Dark Horse Comics, complete with unique cover artwork

Don't read comics, don't care.

Join the ranks of the N7 with the premium fabric N7 patch

To sew onto my... what? Don't cosplay, no use.

Exclusive 4x6 lithographic print featuring a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork

Might be more cool than the posters and art book, but again, not a big game-art fan.

A full collection of in-game content that can't be found anywhere else

I assume this is referring to the bits below.

N7 Arsenal Pack - Bring the firepower with the N7 Sniper Rifle, Shotgun, SMG, and Pistol

Tempting... tempting... but I do like the Widow for my Infiltrator as-is, and I wonder if the N7 stuff is really worth a few bucks when I don't usually play on anything more difficult than "Hard".

Robotic Dog - A faithful sidekick to keep you company on board the Normandy

I thought that's what companions were for... otherwise, it's kind of creepy to think about.

Squadmate Alternate Outfit Pack - New appearances for your favorite squad members

They may actually have me here. I'm down for any way to make Liara look sexier, and the teaser image hints at her new outfit. This, and the soundtrack, are the srongest draws.

N7 Hoodie - For Commander Shepard's casual days on board the Normandy

Heck no. None of my Sheps are that casual.

Mass Effect 3 with the digital soundtrack

The soundtrack is going to be written by a composer that I really enjoy, and I've already purchased songs from the other soundtracks. This is, by far, the strongest draw for me. It might be worth the extra $20 alone, considering it would sell for $15 on its own.

Xbox LIVE Normandy prop for your avatar

Don't really care. My friend's list is non-existent, and I already have the Warhammer 40K goblin prop which I quite enjoy.

A collection of forum and social badges, avatars, and perks

Heck no. I can already create custom avatars. Not sure what "Social Badges" are useful for, and the only perk I can think of that might be relevant is having your posts highlighted or icon'd in some way to denote you shelled out an extra $20 for the CE. If they gave forumites with extra cash any real "perks," it'd divide BioWare's fanbase into a more fractionated incarnation than it already is.



In the end, I'm probably not purchasing the CE. I don't really care for any of the bonuses besides the extra outfits and the soundtrack, and even then there are only 2 extra outfits I want and after playing the game I an purchase the specific tracks I want online for less.

As much as I really enjoy the ME series, I've never been a big "special edition" purchaser. I look at the price tag - in this case, an extra $20 - and go, "Hmm... I could buy the 3 songs I really like off of the soundtrack online, then use the extra $17 for some soft cheese and crackers with some fruit and have a party with friends while watching corny Netflix movies."

Just the way my brain works.

[Ravensword]

The obvious choice: CE.

I resisted the urge to say this and in retrospect I'm not sure why. So uh, +1.

[Apollo Starflare]

I still think the collector's edition should come with a map and making of feature, but for me it was always going to have to be the CE for the third and final game of the trilogy. Have the CE versions of ME1 and 2 afterall.

Thank heavens they didn't throw in a rediculous statue to bump the price up to a silly amount though *looks at Skyrim and TOR*

[onelifecrisis]

Assuming I buy ME3, it'll definitely be the SE for me.

[SojournerN7]

I love Mass Effect, but chances are that I'd look at all the collectors items once or twice in my lifetime and then have them taking up space somewhere in my apartment. Besides having some intrest for the 'in-game' items, it'll be SE for me.

Cute, but what's the point?

Squadmate Alternate Outfit Pack - New appearances for your favorite squad members

Considering I buy Alt. Outfit Packs anyway, why the hell not?

N7 Hoodie - For Commander Shepard's casual days on board the Normandy

And make my Shep even more of a self-insert?  Giggles abound.

YAWN, don't care.  What I really want, though, is the free first-day DLC that comes with a squadmate.  Too late, BW, we know it's "The Prothean!"

[DiebytheSword]

I normally don't touch CE's, but Mass Effect 3 is going to be the first. I don't see the point of a DDE at all after mulling it over, but I can dig the soundtrack and artbook for the extra cash.

I'm with Hathur and JeffZero, maybe it's a 30somthing thing, but I like the smell of book too.

*hikes up grandma pants, adjusts dentures*

"Darn tootin right, mister. Kids these days with their Kindles and e-reader nonsense! They wouldn't know the smell of a good book if it slapped them in the face. Harumph! "

....... The extra cost of the collector edition is very rarely appealing to me... the bonus "Stuff" seldom seems worthwhile but Mass Effect just has this weird hold over me that compels me to hurl my money at it (even at some of the less than stellar stupid item pack DLCs for ME2).

I've also pre-ordered Swtor, but only the standard edition... while I'n interested in playing the game (clearly, as I've paid preordered) it doesn't have the sort of grip over me to convince me to drop down an extra 20 or 30 or even 100+ dollars (there's some sick super edition that I frankly think only a maniac or very rich person would buy ).

Not many games, even if I love them, seem to be able to convince me to pay another hefy chunk of cash for it just for a few baubles or trinkets. Mass Effect is quite the abnormality in this regard.

[JeffZero]

H-hey, I'm 24. I don't want to be 30 yet. Y-you can't make me 30 yet!

You know what? I don't want to be 24 yet either. *snaps fingers* Dammit.

Yeah, Hathur, ME really has a hold on me. Really has a hold on me. Oh god, now I have a song stuck in my head. And my attempt at reversing my age course failed.

This thread is no fun.

[Dave of Canada]

Word of advice upon getting the Collectors, though. Don't read the art book until you play the game. It spoiled the Human Reaper for me in ME2. >.>

[xentar]

Well, as long as I can kill the dog...

[Nik_Li]

I wasted ages dithering about whether to get Standard or CE. I wanted the soundtrack and in-game extras, but I hated the idea of paying for the random merchandise. What good is a fancy case? Why would I want to put an N7 patch on my clothes? I don't get it.

After toying with the idea of selling that random stuff on eBay, I opted for Standard.

Tin is the metal of the future! All the cool games use tin. And now we get both Shepards too. Tin + 2x Shepards = super-effective against plastic. Tin makes it possible, baby.

Limited edition Mass Effect comic by Dark Horse Comics, complete with unique cover artwork

It will no doubt end up being the first issue of a new comic series. Quite possibly the ongoing one that's currently in development since Invasion will have finished up. As good a hook at trying to get people to fork over cash for the comics as Redemption was, I suppose. I expect it will be of a higher quality though since Dark Horse seems to be getting its act together after a few less-than-good attempts. But still, not really all that psyched.

I have every use for this. I'm going to patch it onto something I grabbed for like two bucks at Goodwill and all of a sudden I'll be the talk of the town*.

N7 Arsenal Pack - Bring the firepower with the N7 Sniper Rifle, Shotgun, SMG, and Pistol

Surprisingly little importance to me unless they turn out amazing. The weapons I've grown accustomed to ought to suffice for ME3 unless they get screwed over or something. But hey, more is better when it comes to things like this.

Robotic Dog - A faithful sidekick to keep you company on board the Normandy

A dog I won't be allergic to? Sign me up.

Squadmate Alternate Outfit Pack - New appearances for your favorite squad members

Can't say I'm stoked with what I've seen for Liara and Vega. I vastly prefer their other looks.

Um, excuse me, my Shepard likes the cold, m'kay? But still. Fashionable.

Forum and social badges? Don't care. Avatars? Do you really think I'm ever replacing John Crichton at this point?

Perks? What, like the perks from Skyrim? Do I get to be amazing at dual-wielding because I bought the CE? OMG THANK YOU BIOWARE.

Sound advice. This can't be emphasized enough. Thankfully I haven't run into that problem with Mass Effect yet since I only own the standard-edition ME1 and ME2 copies but I have indeed had this happen to me with other games in the past.
