10 "Deluxe Editions" Of Video Games That Insulted Fans

What's better than getting a huge amount of tat that's themed around the game you really wanted to play? If you said "only getting the tat and not the game", then Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2 Collector's Box might be the thing for you.

The Collector's Box cost at release around $100 and came with a whole host of Wild West themed merch, including: a collectable coin, a 100-piece jigsaw puzzle, a bandana, a treasure map printed on what's billed as 'unrippable paper', a pin badge set, a set of playing cards, 12 collectable cards and a replica in-game catalogue, all packaged in a lockable branded metal box.

The official line on the Collector's Box is that it was designed as a companion piece to Red Dead itself, so that a customer could 'pair the Collector’s Box with the game edition of their choice (physical or digital)', according to a tweet from Rockstar.

So technically, it's not an edition of the game, but this will undoubtedly not stop plenty of people planning a trip to their local game store soon after the holiday season to pick up a game to accompany their pile of unused Red Dead merchandise.
