Limited Special Collectors' Ultimate Edition: Difference between revisions

** A recent trend is putting CDs normally released separately, such as [[Image Song|image songs]] and the soundtracks, with the DVDs, giving more incentive to buy them.

* Hellsing Ultimate does this with multiple releases, there's the single disc version, with just the OVA, there's the Two-Disc Version with commentary and a special features disc, there's also the Two-Disc Steelbox which comes has the two discs in a nice steelbox case, and sometimes comes with an artbook. You can still find the Steelboxes for a decent price brand new, but all the other editions are just as expensive.

** This was also done with the US release of ''[[Lucky Star]]'' (except for the last volume). Turned out it was almost a money black hole for the producer.

* When ''[[Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin]]'' was released in certain European countries in the 80's, it went through several cuts due to censorship and attempts to fit the series on four VHS tapes. Eventually over 100 minutes of the original material was left out from this release, causing the dubbing to be least of the worries. Later, when Finland and Sweden received uncut DVD releases with original soundtrack and voice acting intact, it was marketed as Special Edition of the series.

* .hack//sign did this when it came out on DVD in the US. They had the [[Vanilla Edition|regular DVDs]] and then they had the special edition ones with a Soundtrack CD in each. Except the last two. Second to last had a box to put the previous CDs in, and the last had an extra disc with a few special features on it.

* Each season set of ''[[Inuyasha]]'' came in two versions (at least in America): One was simply [[Captain Obvious|the discs of that season in one set]]. The collector's editions came with show related memorabilia such as the Beads of Subjugation (Season 1), hanko signature blocks (2), Kagome's jewel shards (3), Miroku's prayer beads (4), Sesshomaru's scroll (5), Collector's watch (6) and an Inuyasha figure with Adamant Tessaiga (7).
