10 "Deluxe Editions" Of Video Games That Insulted Fans
9. Halo 3 Limited Collector's Edition's Terrible Packaging
When you decide to stump up for a Limited Collector's Edition of a game, you're expecting extra special treatment. If you couldn't quite stretch to the cost of the Legendary Edition of Halo 3 and decided a pixie-size Mjolnir Spartan helmet just wasn't worth the cost, you might well have picked up the Halo 3 Limited Collector's Edition.
If you did, there's every chance that when your copy of the game was delivered that you couldn't even play it. That's because the specially designed tri-fold steelbook case that held the game and the bonus DVD was so poorly designed that many copies of this special edition of Halo 3 arrived badly scratched after popping out of their holders during transit. Finding yourself with an unplayable copy of one of the Xbox 360's biggest hits can't have been a stellar experience, especially when you also didn't have that tiny replica helmet either.
The bonus material that came with this edition wasn't even that great to entertain you in the mean time: small exclusive posters and storyboard material, and a bonus DVD with some behind-the-scenes footage and featurettes showing you how Bungie put together the game you weren't able to play.
