great idea, i just wish publishers would take WAY more pride in these!
i was so hyped for the AC anthology edition, i thought here we go will see a really nice displayable box, cool disk art, and heaps of goodies.
nope, you get a flimsy plain boring box, boring disk art which looks way worse than the normal games, and a cheap flimsy steelbook which again looks far worse than the standard games come with.
nice way to say happy anniversary, or whatever, to a franchise!
come on these are suppose to be collectors editions, things you can display proudly on your shelf and will go through the roof in value in a few years!
so why cant manufactures start treating them like that?
REALLY starting to piss me off how stingy and tight a$$ed manufactures are becoming!
instead of lets wow the customer with nice exotic materials and looks, its now how can we make this the cheapest as possible.
this is the reason apple is kicking the industries a$$!
i freaking hate apple, and all their stupid restricted policies!
but im constantly forced back to them because there the only company whos not so tight a$$ed to make something feel and look nice!
compare the galaxy S3 to the iphone 5.
the S3 looks and feels like those cheap dummy phones you see in the phone stores.
cheap plastic and fugly!
manufactures need to stop with this cheap and mass produced BS, and start putting some design and effort into their products!
