Those days are long gone, as is product quality and replayability. We all know good titles today are few and far in between. What surprises me, even by todays standards, is the "SH5 Collectors Edition" not shipping with a printed manual, with even the .pdf seems to be lacking content. 20$ just for a N.I.C.E. box and a few skins is obscene, imo.
Yeah, most "collectors" editions these days are really just a nice box. Most of the stuff you get in a nice collectors edition today came standard in many games 20 years ago e.g. Ultima Series.
