10 Most Sought-After Collector's Editions In Gaming

10. BioShock 2 Special Edition

The BioShock 2 Special Edition was one of those limited release items which earned place on gamer's wish-lists thanks to one infinitely desirable item: an artfully packaged 12" vinyl LP of the original BioShock's orchestral score. A perfect fit for the vintage feel of the whole package, including the soundtrack on vinyl as apposed to a CD adds an air of class, complimented by an authentic Art Nouveau design style carried throughout. It's the kind of thing that most people will probably never even listen to - when last did you pop a vinyl on the old gramophone and rock out? - but it's typical of the "nice to have" nature of Collector's Edition loot. The nifty 12" record is surely the main feature here, but the rest of the package deserves attention too, with impressive quality across the board, especially the substantial hard-cover art book highlighting BioShock 2's highly-regarded visual style. Subtle, stylish, this is a limited edition worth snapping up if you can find it. What's in the box: BioShock 2 game; Unique, collector quality box; 168-page hardcover BioShock 2 art-book; 12" vinyl LP with the original BioShock orchestral score; Audio CD with the BioShock 2 orchestral score; 3 vintage Rapture advertisements (featuring hidden messages only visible under black light).
