Limited Special Collectors' Ultimate Edition: Difference between revisions

* ''[[The Sound of Music]]'' Limited Edition Collector's Set includes two copies of the movie (one Blu-Ray and one DVD), a bonus Blu-Ray that contains over 12 hours of bonus features (ranging from special documentaries from the movie's 30th and 40th anniversaries, to features about Austria itself and the other [[Rodgers and Hammerstein]] musicals), a 17-song CD, a souvenir program, a production scrapbook, and a music box.

* When ''[[Underworld (film)|Underworld]]'' first came out on DVD, it was labeled as the "Special Edition", despite not having much extras and, absurdly, being the ONLY edition available. Despite this, an "Unrated Extended Cut" was released six months later anyway.

* ''[[Pixar]]'' get down to this a bunch:

** ''[[WALL-E]]'' was sold by Amazon UK in a special exclusive edition with a matching slinky. At least they didn't charge any extra for it.

* Boris and [[Sunn O)))]]'s collaboration album Altar was released six different times in less than a year, including a single CD release, a double CD release in the US and Japan where both versions include different extra tracks, US and Japan triple LP releases which included DIFFERENT VERSIONS of the same bonus tracks from the CD release, and another 3 LP picture disc release that was sold only at one show in London.

* [[The Who|Live At Leeds]] anyone?

* Darkwave project [[Sopor Aeternus And The Ensemble Of Shadows]] released three different versions of their ninth album, ''Les Fleur du Mal'': the CD of the album (~$20), a double-vinyl limited edition (900 copies, ~$60), and a limited edition CD boxset (2000 copies, ~$100) with the album, a 40-page book of lyrics and illustrations, and a 112-page manga about the album.

* The soundtrack for [[Metalocalypse]], "The Dethalbum", had a special edition that included a few extra songs and some audio skits. This edition was produced in such limited quantities that people were gouging the price at a minimum of $100.

* ''[[Fallout]] 3'' has the special edition with a lunchbox and a Vault Tech Bobblehead.

** Taken to new heights with pre-orders for ''Fallout: New Vegas''. Along with the standard Collectors Edition - which contains poker chips from Fallout: New Vegas casinos, a deck of cards, a graphic novel, and a making-of documentary DVD - Bethesda is offering a total of four different Equipment Packs, each of which contain unique items that are otherwise unavailable in the game world. The catch? Each pack is offered at a different retail outlet, which means if you want them all you'd need to ''pre-order the same game at four different stores''.

* ''[[Sim City]] 4'' had both the [[Expansion Pack|Rush Hour expansion]] and the original game packaged in the ''Sim City 4 Deluxe Edition'', which was cheaper to get than each one individually. it was re-released a few years later in the [[Sim City]] Box, which is also the only way to get the Destinations expansion to [[Sim City]] Societies (aside from digital download).

* The ''[[Neverwinter Nights]]: Diamond'' release contained the first NWN game, its expansions and three premium modules (think mini-campaigns), all in a single [[DVD]]. Prior to that was the Platinum edition, which was the same minus the premium modules, and before that was the Gold edition, which had only the original game and the first expansion.
