It would seem that this console generation's Collector's Editions trumps all others generations combined. I have run out of room!
My Collector's Editions, I ran out of room...

U GAIZ JUST DONT LIKE CHANGE , (builds a artificial foundation here)
Do you take any of them out of their box?
I've got my Helghast helmet sitting somewhere and I've got the GTA lockbox filled with random stuff.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. That's just, well...odd.
In quantity and size? Sure, but not in quality.
I agree I am running into the same issue. Which are your top 4 this gen?

So, I posted this on reddit as well yesterday, and after being told I should have more oldschool stuff, I posted my retro room http://imgur.com/a/YOHnI lol, 333,000 views and 500gb of bandwith viewing in 1 day really makes me appreciate broadband.
Did you buy all of these at launch? I hope not.
RIP bargora, you will be greatly missed.That is how we do things on Giedion Prime.
I saw the CE for Skyrim in Best Buy last night. I was stupefied at how big the box was for it. I loves me Collector's Editions as much as the next person but I think publishers have gotten out of hand with them; at least in regards to their obnoxious dimensions. I don't even mind an over-sized box but not when it's bigger than the one the system came in.

Impressive!

You should put on a puppet show with the Halo 3 helmet and the Killzone 3 helmet, like a Punch & Judy type thing.
Charge people to see it and use the profits to buy more display room for your special editions.

They are a pain to store, and I don't even have any massive ones (outside of Japanese limited editions). I like the collector's editions that are the same height and width across the front as the standard cases. If just the spine is wider, it doesn't matter, it can still fit nicely with the other games. If they don't match with the games, then I take the case out, and the box and other contents gets buried in the closet.
CoD? Seriously?Would have been impressive if you had some real games like some Working Designs or Xseed CE's.
Life!? ... What console is that on?
Well, kinda hard to fit a bigass dragon statue in a tiny box.I saw the CE for Skyrim in Best Buy last night. I was stupefied at how big the box was for it. I loves me Collector's Editions as much as the next person but I think publishers have gotten out of hand with them; at least in regards to their obnoxious dimensions. I don't even mind an over-sized box but not when it's bigger than the one the system came in.
I was thinking the samething as I looked at that picture and noticed all the ones that are currently on clearance right now.
Yeah some of them are just ridiculously too big. They must think we are all rich and live in these huge ass palaces. I definitely appreciate a nice collectors/limited edition but many of the ones this gen aren't worth the initial asking price or space inconvience.I saw the CE for Skyrim in Best Buy last night.

I have managed to make room for the ones I have but where I've really run out of space is for my penny strategy guides. Those could fit in an entire room themselves and they keep growing because of the newly discounted guides every year.

Is that a mobile? If it's like me in-laws' old place I imagine collecting is a challenge.
Fact. I guess when they did the CE for Oblivion, the CE market in North America hadn't quite exploded to the Nth degree and they were mostly conservative with the packaging and limiting the included item to being a coin. I think Halo Reach was the game that turned the dial up to 11 as I've seen disgustingly huge boxes for CE's since, most of which the OP has in the picture.
I guess retailers had to pick up the slack from all of the space that was being taken up by the different "Hero", "Band", and Tony Hawk games. I mean the Wii was doing alright with all of those shovelware shooting games in the oversized boxes but the PS3 and 360 needed some obnoxious packaging love.
Speaking of penny guides, you wouldn't happen to have a spare guide for Ace Combat 6 do you?
"Ai Oboete Imasu Ka?"
I actually don't have that one or any from the Ace Combat series.Speaking of penny guides, you wouldn't happen to have a spare guide for Ace Combat 6 do you?
