10 Video Game Collector's Editions That Were Total Rip-Offs

This was one of the first notable examples of a collectors edition that didn't include the game, but even overlooking that this is a pretty poor showing.

For $100 you get a metal box, a steelbook, a journal and a tiny statue of one of the game's enemies - the titular Panzerhund. Notably, the Panzerhund edition of Wolfenstein: The New Order doesn't include a copy of the actual game, which means you'd also have to pay an additional $50.

The biggest sin this collectors edition commits is that it started a trend of publishers offering them as a separate product, in an effort to suck as much money out of fans as possible.

It could be made a little less painful if the main Panzerhund statue was worth the cash, but it's absolutely laughable. The 'statue' looks like a Kinder egg toy, and is about the same size.

At least Bethesda really stepped their game up with Wolfenstein 2's collector's edition.
