![]() If you’re after the collection yourself, have a look for one on eBay here. Whilst not all ‘Collector’s Editions’ actually turn out to be that collectible, RPGs are usually a safe bet, and Tales of Symphonia has already proved itself as a classic. It’s a high quality product with impressive presentation values, and the game is pretty good too. Tales of Symphonia Chronicles - Playstation 3 Visit the BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Store Platform : PlayStation 3 Rated: Teen 484 ratings 7350 Available at a lower price from other sellers that may not offer free Prime shipping. Overall the Tales of Symphonia: Collector’s Edition is an impressive package, with the only major downside being that the US version included more stuff. As a set they look pretty good together, although individually they lack the detail that made, say, the Ganondorf figure included in the Wind Waker Collector’s Edition so impressive. Each comes with a small stand and a stick to help prop them up, which keeps them in place better than I’d have thought it would. It’s a bit jarring to open up the box for the first time and see their giant heads dismembered from their tiny bodies. ![]() ![]() It can’t fit in the case because the soundtrack takes up all the space. Oh, and the book on the left is the game’s manual, if you were wondering. I don’t really have the time for it and would rather keep it as a collector’s item. I’ve not read Successors of Hope just yet, and I’m not sure if I ever will. This version also doesn’t include the steel book case or art booklet, pretty lame, right? Perhaps the only real upside is that less of the European version were made (10,000 as opposed to 18,000 US copies) making it technically rarer and theoretically more desirable. These are packaged inside the game’s box, rather than a separate case. Unlike the US version of the collector’s edition, which includes a four disc soundtrack, the European version only has two CDs. As well as the standard game you have two bonus discs worth of soundtrack, a novel titled Tales of Symphonia: Successors of Hope (which bridges the events of the two games), and a set of four figures (five if you include Tenebrae but he’s pretty small). The Tales of Symphonia: Chronicles Collector’s Edition is packed full of goodies, almost enough to justify its extortionate £70 price tag. I present you with the Tales of Symphonia: Chronicles Collector’s Edition. This week I’ve indulged myself with the remake of my favourite GameCube RPG (and its fairly average sequel on the Nintendo Wii). Is there any greater sign of excess than the collector’s edition of a videogame? And I mean a real collectors edition, the kind that has fancy packaging and a figurine or two, not a download code for an extra multiplayer map or shiny coloured gun.
