Should not have let the clerk at Gamestop talk me into going for the collector's edition of DJ Hero.
It'll go fast, he says. The extras will really improve the gameplay, it comes with a table to put the turntable controller on, and the controller itself if made of metal, so it'll be more durable and last longer, he says. It comes with a soundtrack CD, he says.
Now, don't get me wrong here, because I really did enjoy the game, but I also really regretted getting the collector's edition. To call the special controller gaudy would be an understatement of epic proportion, plus, it really doesn't seem that solid to me. The table/case that came with it actually makes a really bad controller stand (I now use it as a table to keep some of my houseplants on near the window so they can get plenty of light), and the CD that came with it (as opposed to containing any of the soundtrack or any of the songs I liked) was just a mix of some Eminim and Jay-Z songs. All in all, really really bad purchase. If I could go back in time, I'd pay extra money for the normal version, with the controller that doesn't look like it came out of some two bit rapper's wet dream.
