It started with Madden, and is now spilling over. Sure, PC gamers have had that for a while now, like Star Wars Galaxies, for instance. But it's a relatively new thing to the console market, and I'm wondering how it's going to affect the collecting market.

I know that not many folks here are big into collecting the current generation for whatever reasons. But what about those of us that are, or more importantly, those who will be once the PS3 is out? I'm not heavy
into collecting PS2 or Xbox stuff at the moment, but I am aware of what's on the horizon and I do make an effort to try and snag stuff that I think will be hard to find later on.

Some examples of Limited Edition madness:

Madden NFL 2005 Collector's Edition
Halo 2 Collector's Edition
King of Fighters: Maximum Impact LE (click to see, a really nice package)
Dragonball Z Budokai 3 LE
Mortal Kombat Premium Pack (4-5 different Xbox covers)
Ace Combat 5 LE w/Flight Stick (click to see, also very nice)

Any thoughts?
