Well yes, I suppose if it was my very very favourite game ever and I wanted everything from it, I'd maybe pay up to 20 or 25 dollars. Not sure if 60 somethings is a lot, but if it's close to dollars, I'll probably never pay 60$ for a little extras, even if they are cool, for the special edition.

£60 is around $90, but you do get the game with it too! Tongue

Yes, you still make little sense I'm afraid. :/ Are you suggesting that the official limited edition would be a sham?

Wow, that's kind of a lot. Like a whole lot. How "Special" is the special edition anyway?

It's got to be something absolutely special, gold plated even for me to even think about shelling out anything as expensive as some of these Collectors edition are.

I don't own any myself and probably wont in the future unless it's something spectacular.

Well, I couldn't find it(well I found something, but it was like £17, so I think it might be the wrong one), but it seems like anyone who buys something that expensive must reaaalllyy like the game.

Special editions that offer cool/unique stuff is always worth it in my book. Im also a sucker for 'behind the scenes'.

I'd probably only get an FF game's special edition. I don't really care enough to preorder, though.
