Favorite Game Swag
Some game come with cool stuff if you pre-order it while other things are lame. Anyway what are some of your favorite Game Swag?
P.S. I do not want this thread to derail into a "pre-order stuff is a crock of trout by developers/publishers/Gamestop/The Man/ Theistic-Atheists, and Aliens... so yeah, make another thread if you want to discuss the ethics/business of pre-order bonuses.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
One of my favorite RPGs of all time: Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete. Lots of nice goodies.

It actually comes with a lot more than 4 character standees though.

Fallout New Vegas Collectors edition came with some awesome casino chips from the various Casinos in the game, a special Metal replica of the Platinum chip from the game, a deck of playing cards and a prelude comic book. I play around with those chips all of the time because I am a fiddler and I think that deck of cards is pretty cool. The cards have a worn look to them and each of the backs is also from one of the various casinos in the game. The fronts of the cards had one of the characters from the game with a quote. The characters were ranked in importance so that the big characters got Aces, Kings etc. They went all out when creating those decks. Very creative.
.hack//GU Vol 1 came with a Haseo character statue/whatever (about 3/4 the size of a DVD case) and a bonus disc that unlocks more content as you play through the upcoming games. Not bad for an extra $10.

Generally love buying games from Atlus and getting the art books, soundtracks, etc.
But my absolute favourite? Probably always going to be the world maps and manual that came with FFVI. Back when packing in cool stuff with a game was the norm and not the more costly exception.
I really wanted that Los Santos New Era snapback.
Probably the Killzone 3 art book, that game had some awesome concept art.
I'm trying to remember the last good pre-order I got. Special edition sets are where I get most of my good swag from these days.
For example, the Anges Statue from Bravely Default, or the Hyrule Warriors Scarf I'm soon to get.
Coolest thing was the controllable aircraft I got when I per-ordered Splinter Cell Blacklist. It also came with a bunch of other stuff, but that was the coolest thing. I gave it to my dad because he's in to doing things and flying trout.
