1. Saints Row IV The $1 Million Package
There is only one collector's edition, pre-order package that could ever make number one on this list. The hilarious and very self-aware Super Dangerous Wad Wad Edition of Saints Row IV is the perfect parody of the constantly expanding pre-order trend. In true Saints Row style the developers offered up one copy of the game for one million dollars, with a plethora of extravagant bonus items. These included plastic surgery, a Virgin galactic space flight and an expensive sports car. Yes, seriously. It's expected that the majority of people would be happy receiving the cool stuff that came in this package (although may skip the plastic surgery), but one million is just a tad out of the average punter's price range, with nobody buying what was dubbed the "million dollar package" in the end. In fact, some gamers worked out that the value of the package itself was a little over $600,000, proving it to be the biggest ripoff in the history of video games. It's all kind of a nice metaphor for pre-order bonuses as a marketing tool though isn't it?
