They know that there are many fans like that so I'm not surprised that the game is similar.

Years ago a newspaper in Australia did a Harry Potter themed promotion. I think it was around when the last movie released. Basically every week you bought the paper you'd get some collectable cards. They were pretty cool but the big thing everyone was after were these plastic wands. They gave out three different wands during certain weeks so I'd imagine most people probably waited until those weeks then bought the paper. Despite clearly being made from a cheap sort of plastic the quality on them is impressive. They're really detailed and actually look better than some of the official merch sold today for double the price. The wand in this collector's edition looks horrible in comparison. I can't tell if it's made out of better materials but it certainly lacks the detail of even these cheaply made promotional ones. For the price, not even mentioning the really dumb stand along with it you should expect something higher quality than this.

These "collector's editions" are often very limited productions, usually only a few thousand units are made, and only available from the studio during the preorder window meaning you either get it as a preorder or you have to pay ebay scalpers 5 or 6x the otiginal price to own it.

Honestly, the only difference the non-existence of pre-orders would achieve is delaying the mad scramble to buy collectors items until release day. At least with the large window until release, they have the opportunity to realize "this collector's edition isn't selling well, maybe we should do something else instead..."

They should have made an actual book you can page through of in-game secrets, spells lists, or a game map at least, and then have the wand floating on top of the otherwise pointless steel CD-esque cover. That would've been a genius idea. Or include, given the price, and additional puzzlebook. Something like word puzzles, that unlock in-game secrets so you can hit the ground running, tips and tricks, giving some more purpose to pre-ordering the game.

There are other collector's editions with big beautiful statues that have been half that price. What's sad is that people are preordering it.

Or even give you a journal/grimoire-type book, that you can actually write in. The whole premise of this game is about you (the player) living out your Hogwarts experience. For many of us that is an all-time dream come true. Oh well, missed opportunity, and with that, I will click over to Etsy :P

You’re right. I paid for the digital deluxe version and I feel like getting the game 72 hours earlier was the thing that sold me into buying the deluxe version, but the collection version just doesn’t seem worth it, and 100% is a waste of money. I never owned a collection version of any game but looking at Cyberpunk and HL, HL collection edition seems like a goddamn joke. A book that doesn’t have anything beside it being plastic and a wand? Could’ve been cool if the book was an actual book with information about the wizarding world back in 1890 as locations, Hogwarts and her surroundings, spells, actual news from The Daily Prophet about the actual events before the game itself that would lead to the start of the game. Names of the Hogwarts professors, A family tree of the 28 Pureblood families at the time until to the point of the game. They could’ve added so much more and they choose a box with a plastic book and a wand? Pathetic and doesn’t worth the money.

I feel like I need to add a caveat here: I'm not a huge Harry Potter fan. I don't really play video games anymore. This video randomly came up in my recommendeds and I was curious. I do think it's a good gimmick but not for $300... Actually, the books that came out when I was a kid on things like the history of Quidditch and the wizarding world's bestiary, I would dare to say, are a lot more interesting, and when I saw the thumbnail, I was kind of hoping it was something more like that... (but obviously without being bled dry for it.) (EDIT: I'm really getting the feeling from reading these comments that the developers have forgotten that Harry Potter used to be a book series, and the fans still like reading things.)
