10 Most Sought-After Collector's Editions In Gaming

7. Uncharted 3 Drake's Deception Explorer Edition

We couldn't possibly have a chart of the most desirable gaming treasure chests without including a game all about hunting for treasure, could we? Thankfully it's not such a contrived scenario as all that - yes, it's a game about treasure, but it also comes packaged in a suitable treasure chest. A chest filled with top quality treasure. Perfect. This range-topping Explorer Edition of Naughty Dog's sublime action adventure is easily one of the most sought after limited release items, with every element exuding quality and attention to detail - and naturally with a price to match. Its not that any single ingredient in the mix is particularly mind-blowing. There's no incredibly rare scale model of the Taj Mahal made of aged pastrami, no sack of authentic replica ninja throwing stars or remote controlled velociraptor. Nothing outlandish at all. Just a selection of well made, relevant items which pertain to the game. Everything from the deftly-crafted Nathan Drake figurine to the weighty, functional belt buckle and lovely Francis Drake replica ring is a tribute to the franchise, all neatly stored in a useful chest with working clasp mechanism. Again, nothing groundbreaking, but all together this results in a cohesive, well thought-out collector's edition, and one of the better overall packages we've seen. What's in the box: Uncharted 3 Drake's Deception game; Drake's journal - including Drake's notes and clues; Lenticular art card; Nathan Drake figuring with pedestal; Drake's belt buckle; Sir Francis's ring with Sic Parvis Magma inscription, on leather cord; Beautiful vintage-style chest with working clasp and imitation leather accents.
