Limited Edition That Are Worth the Money vs. Those That Aren't
I think we've all seen LE's that we want and other LE's that aren't really all that great, here are a few examples of those that aren't.
Metal Gear Solid 4 LE:

The packaging looks cool and all but soundtrack's aren't typically a draw for me for these types of games unless I'm really into the composer and it has a "making of" dvd that doesn't really add a whole lot besides getting people up to speed. If it had an art book and some cool DLC's I'd get it but I think the stand alone game works for me here.
Metal Gear Rising Revengeance Limited Edition:

$150 for a fucking lamp? No thanks, Gamestop offers an art book and the Gray Fox skin with the pre-order so not worth it at all.
Halo 4 LE:

For $99 I don't think it's personally worth it for all the digital stuff, you just get a couple of trinkets and mostly digital content that can be purchased at any time (for perhaps lower prices at some point). With all the merchandise this game got you can practically build your own limited edition and make it better than what they offered here.
Worthwhile LE's:

This came with a lot of cool stuff, even if you hate the game it had a patch, a great art book source book, and DLC stuff on top of that.
Bioshock 3:

Typically I find $150 steep for LE's and while I could do without the statue it's a cool bonus that kind of justifies the price. It also comes with an art book and several other figurines, a litho, and other trinkets although I'd prefer if they made an edition that didn't include the statue but everything else.
Ni No Kuni LE:

For $99 I think it's a pretty good deal considering all the cool stuff you get in there, unfortunately Namco botched the shit out of this release making it harder to get then it should have so there's just no way I can even get this at this point without paying out of the ass so I'll just have to stick with the standard edition but a cool LE nonetheless.
Which ones would you guys add to either list?
