Collectors editions. They usually come with some tat end up holding absolutely no value in the long run. Some of the tat is at least kinda well made, but then there are those that are just garbage.
So what are the worst ones you've got?
For me, it has to be Myst 4. I love the Myst series, it's one of my favourite adventure game series (and I say this as someone who got into it well after Myst V got released). But the collectors edition in Myst 4 is just terrible.
The box it comes in is nice. It's shaped like a book, and while it's a bit on the flimsy side, it looks good, and it fits the theme of the game. Sadly the content leaves a lot to be desired. How about a demo of the soundtrack? You don't even get the entire soundtrack, you just get a few select songs from it. You also get an incomplete deck of cards, and a few making of videos.
A sensible person might then ask "why do I own it?". It was cheaper than just buying the game on its own.
Myst V also had a rather lackluster collectors edition, but at least it had some stuff of interest. It came with a book that gave some details about the previous games, the game world, and also talked about things like the language and the counting system they created for the games (this could actually be used to solve some of the puzzles in Riven). It also came with a complete soundtrack, which was an improvement. At least I think it's complete, but I'm not 100% sure.
And bonus points for those who can identify the little figurine in the final picture. It was from the very first collectors edition I ever bought. Out of 5 in total (I'm not showing mine from Guild Wars 1, which was actually pretty nice as it came with a headset, and a surprisingly well made art book) and Dreamfall (which again was cheaper than just buying the game on its own).
