"Collector's edition" games - trully collectible?

[Therealqtip]

I've never heard any official numbers on this and Kojima purposely withheld this information for some reason. Does anyone have any concrete evidence on a rough estimate of many of these are out there?

The number was in my PSM magazine like 2-3 years ago whenever it came out I'll go look it up some time when I have the chance.

Heyyy, look at that 200th post

I love the DJ Max games for PSP and they've also got some of the slickest & most elaborate collectors edition sets I've ever seen. The rarest is the DJ Max Fever 'Crew Edition' which came in a special box that was autographed by the entire team. Only 125 were made and they were only available for pre-order on Bemanistyle.com for $130.

I think the autographed Orpheus set was limited to 30 copies but the packaging was the same as the unsigned version.

The Crew Edition is the perfect example of why speculating in LEs is foolish. Literally half of the copies sold ended up on Ebay the next day after they were received and most sold only for what the original MSRP was and the rest didn't sell at all. Even now, they barely hit $125-$130 and when you consider shipping and tax was extra and the Ebay and Paypal fees, some of the speculators lost even more money on the resale. The fact that a number of the outer boxes got damaged in transit from Korea to the US before they even shipped to buyers was another disappointment and made me glad I didn't waste my money on it.
