I love my GTA4 duffle bag. I've been using it everyday for work for the past eight years and it still holds up like a champ.

This will be my latest addition to my overpriced "dumb" purchases, but I think it'll be worth it so I'm keeping it because it has a whole bunch of stuff I'd have bought separately anyway. Wish they'd atleast added that side-scolling game to it though (not double-dipping an extra 60 for that).
Yeah, that is at least an adorable nendoroid.

Uh..I like these, actually. But I'd never display them.
Anyways, buying NMS day 1 was my biggest mistake. Every bone in my body was telling me not to, but I did it anyways, because hey, maybe the developer will support the game and it'll be worth having for future updates. Nope, radio silence from Hello and a fucking shitstorm ensued.
Oh well. It was entirely my fault.
This isn't too bad, but I keep buying games for my 360 even though it's obviously on its last legs at this point. I don't have a PS3, and a lot of the games from that generation that I wanted to play never got PC ports.
I did get burned just by buying Armored Core: For Answer - I didn't get to it until a few weeks after buying it used, and then it flat out didn't work at all and it was too late to return it. Seriously, the error message was one of the strangest I've ever encountered - it told me to insert the disc into an Xbox 360. What, so the console has forgotten that it's a 360? (Seriously, what purpose does that message serve and why does it exist?)

No one ever bought it, right? Seems more like a publicity stunt, anyway.

For a cult with a fan following, WB treated Fear fans like shit with merch
Who would even want this?
Pretty much, Ars totalled up the package.

I love that it's not even a bottle, just an ugly, cheap-looking "decorative" chunk of plastic.

How hard would've been to make a stylized squeeze bottle or something?

I, too, bought the Cat Helmet:
I got some good laughs out of the campaign commentary, the stand is a decent place to store the trilogy, and the big ass box it came in stores some of my old textbooks now.
So meh, overall. At least it looks halfway nice.

Oh, right. The Witcher 3 CE. I'm stupid and didn't even get the One version for the cards.

Bravely Second LE
It came with a nice artbook but I haven't opened the package because I hated Bravely Default and I'm worried I'll hate Second too and once it's opened not be able to get a decent price for it.

I don't play World of WarCraft and I still buy every WoW collector's edition. Why? Because I have every one except for Vanilla and they look awesome. Eventually I'll find a good deal on the Vanilla box only (I seriously just want the box) and then I'll have a complete set. I don't even play the game.
70€ for basically a beta on disc that I didn't touch anymore after a couple of days. :/ I heard it's been updated by now but they've lost me already. (Is Versus CPU in yet?)
Was the last time I will faithfully preorder a Street Fighter an get anything fancy like a steelbook edition...

I've played it. But never a lot. I've never had a max level character ever. Played off and on since BETA, but never seriously. I buy the expansion, play for a couple weeks, then quit. Now I don't even renew sub when an exp comes out I just buy it. What is wrong with me lol.

Lol. I've been a huge WarCraft / Blizzard fan since WarCraft Orcs And Humans and I collect all sorts of Blizzard stuff, so it's really just about the collection at this point. I am shame though. This I know.
I don't usually regret buying special editions of games, but the few that stick out in my mind are Aion, Halo 5 and No Man's Sky.
In each case the bonuses sucked. Aion and Halo 5's case (I bought the mid-tier level one, not the uber expensive one) the figures were super cheap. Halo 5 even makes you build your own.
NMS i just regret buying at all, so

If Blizzard ever makes a fighting game... RIP your wallet. Alllll the merch.
Horizon zero dawn is the first CE that I may ever buy. Should I just stop myself or get it? It looks so cool.
I'd play an Overwatch fighting game.
