Hogwarts Legacy Collector's Edition - PlayStation 5

This is a product that was extremely sought after when it was released. After all, us potter-heads have been waiting for an open-world Harry Potter video game for YEARS. Before talking about the value of this collectors edition product, I want to talk about the quality of the game and its story. The main story in itself is fantastic. You play the role of a wizard/witch that is a descendant of ancient magic that is extremely powerful, yet also extraordinarily difficult to control and comprehend. This ancient magic is also extremely sought after, and finds its way into the wrong hands. I won’t go much further, with the details because NO spoilers! Anyhow, you can expect to spend anywhere from 35-45 hours on the base game and am full story and sidequests. The game is extremely difficult to get 100% on based on the achievement requirements, which the community is very displeased about. All-in-all though, once the main-story is completed, the game tends to fall flat and becomes repetitive and underwhelming. You eventually become too powerful for fights to be a challenge even on maximum difficulty, and you will find that the enemies are all the same. There isn’t much change or surprises, and it’s very disappointing because it is a fantastic game with much potential. Now, back to the value of this Collectors Edition. It is $299.99… That’s a big chunk of muggle change. It comes with the base game, a steel book case (my favorite part of the set), some in-game bonus cosmetics, and a wand that floats atop a book that is powered by magnets. The magnetic wand display is pretty impressive, and it’s very cool to see, however you need it to be plugged in at all times in order for the magnets to work. It has a VERY strong package smell that is not very pleasant. It is also pretty big and bulky, so having it around can be a bit of a space-taker. As a Potter-head I will pay embarrassing amounts for Harry Potter memorabilia, but this felt like a bit of a high ask for what we were given. We were essentially paying extra for a floating wand and steel book case, but it is important to a collector nonetheless. I feel like this fell short on value though, and that is why I’m giving it 4 stars. Harry Potter Hogwarts Legacy is a great game with a wonderful story and a huge fan base that was extraordinarily eager in anticipation for this long overdue product, but had to pay a pretty galleon to get it. Ultimately the game was great, but didn’t last too long before it became mundane. But if I could go back to the first day I started playing and experience the initial excitement of it all over again, I would!

This is one of my most anticipated games of 2023. I was able to secure two collectior editions for myself and my twin brother. The experiences and world this game crafts is next to none. I would highly recommend this game to Potterheads and those who love rpgs. This game captures the magic of the books and films down to every last detail.

I had pre-ordered collector's for Xbox One last Nov before the release dates were all changed across platforms. After a few weeks of release date the reviews were indicsting that game performance was best using a PS5. I was upset that the best buy site had it as sold out. Today i thought to try my luck in person and the rep found me a PS5 collector's bundle out of state, under 1 hr drive. I got it and shoetly after bought a PS5 console as well. Ended up cancelling the pre-order for Xbox One and was fully refunded within the hour of canceling. Some times it's best to show up in person. I still cannot believ I found the PS5 Collector's or Hogwarts Legacy brand new weeks after release date. I'm one happy gamer.

I got exactly what I had wanted and Best Buy was able to deliver it quickly and efficiently with no damage to the collectors box

It’s really best buy.. my lovely store ever.. i like it really

My favorite Collectible. to expensive though. Great for empty desk space or tv stand space
