To make matters worse the bundle didn’t even come with a copy of Resident Evil 7, meaning those that bought the collector’s edition would have to shell out even more money. The flimsy design, cheap feel and questionable looking USB finger also left many American horror fans shocked with its poorly made contents. In fact, the highly-detailed house was unsellable when it arrived at GAME retailers. Many UK buyers were left disappointed when their replica of Biohazard’s Baker mansion was left in an even worse state of repair than in the game itself. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard Collector’s Edition © Capcom Last year, Atlus confirmed that a Catherine remake was in the works for PS4, so we’ll likely see stranger limited edition goods in the future. Along with the pizza box and shirt, fans received a pillowcase with Catherine on it, and an actual pair of pink spotted boxers. Meanwhile, the US edition swapped out the poster and beer mats for slightly stranger items. The contents of the European limited edition goodies were safely packaged in a pizza box, and came with a poster, a replica shirt from the game, and decorative beer mats. ![]() To be honest, we’d just be happy with an art book and a few glow-in-the dark stickers… Catherine Collector’s Edition © AtlusĬatherine is a brilliant puzzle platformer and Atlus delved into the game’s strange side for its collector’s edition. There’s a ton of other luxury goodies thrown in as well just in case you thought your 10 million was going to go to waste. So what do you get in this bargain bundle? Well, there are a number of glamorous features such as: professional acting lessons, a speaking role in the Dying Light movie, parkour training, off-road driving course, a screening tour of the film, 10 VIP tickets for opening night, an FX make-up session, and four copies of Dying Light: The Following Enhanced Edition. Dying Light: The Following Spotlight Edition © Techlandĭying Light’s Spotlight Edition is easily one of the most expensive video game bundles ever conceived standing at a whopping $10,000,000. The quality of each figure obviously varies between each buyer, but the fact that many of these botched figures passed through quality control is rather dumbfounding. The promotional art boasted a stunningly detailed model of the Butcher of Blaviken locked in a beastly brawl with a griffin, but the rushed paint job meant fans were left with a terrifying imitation product that lacked any of the original’s care and craftsmanship. Many fans were left disappointed when they found out that their figure of Geralt appeared dishevelled and shoddily painted. Unfortunately, the Wild Hunt Collector’s Edition didn’t. The Witcher 3 was one of the most eagerly anticipated RPGs in recent years and boy did it live up to our lofty expectations.

Had the company just released the latter, they wouldn’t have received such a huge backlash from the media and their fans. ![]() After all, why would anyone want to place a dismembered, rotting woman’s corpse on their mantelpiece? Deep Silver also chucked in a steelbook case, some in-game weapons and character skins, and a piece of artwork for good measure. In fact, we’re still not sure who the company was trying to appeal to. Sometimes we often find ourselves questioning how certain products make it past development, but Deep Silver really took the biscuit when they released their grotesque Zombie Bait Edition back in 2013. Dead Island: Riptide Zombie Bait Edition © Deep Silver ![]() Join us as we take a look at the most bizarre, poorly conceived and damn right ridiculous collector’s products we've ever seen. However, not every collector’s edition has been worth the investment, with tasteless trophies, botched figurines and even underwear being sold to eager video game fans. These limited edition goodies are never cheap, but they give us an excellent excuse to spruce up our collection and help solidify our love for a particular game, character or universe. Collector’s editions usually give us a great opportunity to nab ourselves some neat gaming merchandise that can’t be found elsewhere. ![]()
