Collector’s Editions Stole my Bike!
It seems like Collector’s Edition have been around forever. If you go back and count gold cartridge games on the NES, then this may be true.
But gamers might remember Collector’s Editions’ later proliferation, beginning somewhere around the mid- to late-PS2-era of video games as a sort of test market for a reestablished price point of $60 per game.
With the new price point in place for this generation, it’s only natural for collector’s edition eclipse this mark by another 10 dollars. If my math is correct, that would put a current-gen CE running for $70.

We all have fond memories of Ghostbusters from our younger days, whether it was the original 1984 film, its 1989 sequel or the various spin-offs and merchandising ploys throughout the nineties. So needless to say, the prospect of an official Ghostbusters 3 is awfully exciting; the only problem is we still don’t know for sure when or what the damn thing is going to be.
By now, you’ve probably heard that the Ghostbusters game has been delayed, or is in development limbo. Honestly, I don’t get excited about too many games, but I’ve been looking forward to this one since I was five years old. So this news really crossed my streams. Who is responsible? Not Walter Peck, but Activision Blizzard. That’s right, the WoW gods tried to kill Ghostbusters!
There is a pretty elaborate history to the game of Ghostbusters, and it won’t even be released until Q3 of this year. In January of 2007, leaked videos of gameplay for a rumored Ghostbusters game hit the net. While the trailer no longer exists on Youtube, the internet sure did go agog for it. Developers Zootfly came forward shortly thereafter and confirmed that though the game was in development, they sadly didn’t have the actual license for it.
When a game developer delivers big things, we come to expect bigger things. Sometimes, that happens… other times, it doesn’t.
