I truly enjoy Final Fantasy XIII. Despite the harsh reviews it received elsewhere, it still has an 8.6/10 rating from professional critics, and I'd personally give it about a 9.7 myself. The thing that had people complaining about was the straight line of gameplay with few to no alternate routes in the first half of the game. I won't spoil it for you, but this was an intentional design to get the player trapped in the mindset of characters, and the straight line of gameplay disappears after the first half of the game.

Regarding the Limited Edition collector's packaging, I'd agree with some of the other harsher reviews that it's not worth $200. I'm an extreme Final Fantasy fan though, and I personally would (and have) paid the difference between the game itself and the collector's packaging, which at the time was about $125 (total). It comes with three lithographs that are two-sided, so you can't display all 6 lithographs simultaneously. The lithographs come in a small paper sleeve wrap that really isn't worth anything, but it makes opening it a little more exciting. It comes with a CD with a selection of music from the game that both I and my 2 and a half year old son absolutely love. My wife is fond of it too.) There are two decals that can be displayed on glass or any other smooth surface. Finally there's a hardback artbook with scenes from the game.

Is it worth $200? Probably not. But that's pretty much the case with any collectible merchandise. I would not spend $200 on it, but the ~$125 that I paid was reasonable. I will be honest and say that I also purchase some of these for resale, and most buyers find $150-$170 reasonable on eBay and other places. If you do research and are willing to wait 6 weeks for it to come in, you can also look at importing your own for around $100, which may be subject to import duties depending on how much you import a year. You don't need to worry about compatibility issues, though, as PS3 games are not region encoded and both the AU and the UK version will play on any PS3 system worldwide.

The collector's edition for this game is somewhat standard of what you would get usually with collectors edition for games like a small artbook, codes for exclusive content, etc. The price for this though is a bit too ridiculios and expensive if you ask me.

I'm currently on my third playthrough of this game; it's great. I've wanted to get this Collector's Edition for some time, but it's always way too expensive. The contents of the CE do not justify the price point. Just because something is an import doesn't mean there has to be a huge mark-up. This CE is going for around $35 in like new condition in the UK

$35 there, over $100 here. Where's the fairness in this? I will be getting this CE, but not until I can find it for the right price.

The reason I choosed this rating is because, my delivery arrived here on time and there was nothing that I disliked about my order, as for who I would recommend this too, I am not sure.

Very overpriced, isn't it. How can they justify that? You're paying about $100 for the extras, and they're just not worth that.
