10 "Deluxe Editions" Of Video Games That Insulted Fans

Many of the deluxe editions on this list and in general ply gamers with over-priced, branded kit. However, at least most of these editions, however useless, at least function. Not so for the Call of Duty: World at War Limited Collector's Edition.

Not only did this edition upset the balance of the iconic COD multiplayer given it gave consumers a code for a week-long XP boost and early unlock for a high-level gun, the Limited Collector's edition's main item was a branded hip flask. Quite simple, but it might have looked like a nice thing to stick on your shelf if you felt particularly strongly about Call of Duty.

Because that's all it was good for; standing, (or in this case, lying down) on a shelf. The flask, being the only really "useful" thing did not open as it was solely intended for prop use. So, not only had you spent extra money to get ahead in multiplayer without having to play the game and earning the higher tier unlocks yourself, but you'd spent the majority of the money on a flask that you couldn't even use.
