** Aside from the usual limited edition extras, Gears 2 could also be ordered with a FULL-SIZED PLASTIC LANCER RIFLE. Subverted in that you could [http://www.amazon.com/Gears-Amazon-com-Exclusive-Lancer-Xbox-360/dp/B001CLYL24 buy the rifle separately.]
* While "Ultimate" in ''Ultimate [[Spider-Man (Comic Book)|Spider-Man]]'' refers to [[Ultimate Spider-Man|a comic book series]] (which the game is a [[Spin-Off]] of and [[Canon]] in the comic book continuity, being plotted by the same writer as a part of the series), there was still a Limited Edition released, with, among other things, a mini-sized Limited Special Collectors Ultimate Edition reprint of the comic introducing Venom.
* Sony and Microsoft liked this strategy so much that they applied it to their systems themselves: both the [[Xbox 360]] and [[Play StationPlayStation 3]] come in a "basic" version and a more expensive "premium" version.
** To be perfectly honest, this practice dates back to the very earliest of game consoles: it was called a bundle (games, controllers, carrying cases, [[Blatant Lies|robots]]...). The only difference is that now it covers more important features like hard drives.
** Microsoft have applied it to Windows as well in the form of [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] Vista "Ultimate", which isn't a game in any normal sense of the word, but certainly fits the description of costing rather more for very few extras, including every feature from every other version, even the Enterprise edition, which is the high-end version for ''business'' users and that version is generally only available to businesses. Windows 7 Ultimate contains a similar range of features to what its predecessor had.
