So being the ME junkie that I've become, I considered buying the limited collector's editions of Mass Effect 1&2. I have the the ME3 collector's edition on reserve and thought it would be cool to have all three. I checked Amazon and Ebay and was surprised to find out that the ME1CE was selling for $700-$2500! Needless to say there were no current bids on any of them. I love the Mass Effect universe but dropping that much on a video game just doesn't seem right. I guess you could say that you could sell it some day, but are video games even considered a good investment in that regard? Would you spend that much for rare a collectable video game?
- $600-2500 for ME CE?! As good as this game is, it isn't worth nearly that much money. In fact, even the most valuable game doesn't even sell for half as much. That price is basically extortion, and no one would really want that edition of the game while waiting for ME3 to arrive. I know I wouldn't shell out those funds.

- One word, OUCH. Not even ME is worth that. Lancer1289 18:07, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
I bought the ME CE used from Ebay for 80. I thought that was too much then.--Xaero Dumort 18:39, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
Yeah I just can't wrap my head around paying the cost of a mortgage payment for a video game. I just can't see how that would ever be worth it in the end. I'm sure i'd be better off putting that kind of money into upgrading my house.
It could be a good investment, but it would depend on how many copies still existed and how many were new. Also, if you bought it new and you opened it you would of lost a lot of the investment. You would have to wait years before selling it but it could be a good profit maker. Some rare games get sold for $40,000. It just depends on how many there are, and how good of a condition it is in as well as what edition. 99.71.119.115 22:59, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
I got mine for $50 and the guy sold it to be me on ebay brand new. It hadn't even been taken out of the plastic.RiftJargon 13:40, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
Mass effect is an incredible game, but definitely not worth more than $70-$80. I would really advise you to keep checking for the collectors edition and find one for a good price, instead of letting someone rip you off.--RS Kossery 09:27, September 5, 2011 (UTC)
