10 Most Sought-After Collector's Editions In Gaming

6. Grand Theft Auto IV Special Edition

We've come to expect certain things in our special edition releases, so no one would have moaned if Rockstar Games had shovelled a couple of unique lithograph prints and a cloth map of Liberty City in a fancy box. But as is Rockstar's style, they exceeded expectations with the GTA IV Special Edition, throwing in a few unique, very apt items to make this pricey package feel like money well spent. One of the game's climatic moments has your character ensnared in a savage heist-gone-bad scenario, desperately trying to blast a path through a police siege with a huge duffel bag stuffed with cash slung over one shoulder. It's an unforgettable sequence in the game, which makes the decision to include a black Rockstar-embroidered duffel bag in the Special Edition more fitting than you might first realise when unboxing the package. A lockable safety deposit box with the GTA IV logo pressed into the metal is equally suited to the theme of the game, and makes for a neat place to store the rest of the merchandise included. What's in the box: GTA IV game; Rockstar-embroidered duffel bag; Metal safety deposit box with key; Rockstar logo keyring; Hard-cover concept art book; Audio CD containing selected tracks from the game.

Game-obsessed since the moment I could twiddle both thumbs independently. Equally enthralled by all the genres of music that your parents warned you about.
