So happy with this Collector's Edition! Beautiful game and beautiful statue/items. Pre-order bonus steelbook came late but not a big deal. Pre-order digital items were not included but that reflects on Best Buy and not this item. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase!

This is a extremely awesome game that provides hundreds of hours of enjoyment. Caution to any new players this game is brutally difficult to those who aren’t use to gaming.

The wait was worth it! I've been a fan of Fromsoftware since I played Bloodborne, so from the first tease I couldn't wait for what they have in store for us. Elden Ring has the struck the perfect balance of the art design, worldbuilding, gameplay, music, etc. Like a typical Fromsoftware fashion, the boss fights can be difficult but that is the best part. Now you get to train, strategize, explore the open world, find new weapons, new armor, and more.
Regarding the collector's edition, the package came with the game (CD), a steelbook, an artbook, digital soundtrack, and the Malenia statue! Note: Luckily enough they included the game CD with this which made the purchase even better.
Overall, its an epic game that hits the sweet spot from the previous Fromsoftware game. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an intro into the soulsborne world.

Very Bad Quality

This review is specifically on the quality of the Collector’s Edition itself and not on the game. The game is fine and is basically Dark Souls but more open.
As for the quality of the CE, I received this product with noticeable discoloration/white patches all over the red collectible boxes that hold the statue, game, and other extras. The steel book has noticeable silver scratches on the front cover. In addition, there are light scratches and dents all over. The inner bag protecting the statue box was completely shredded. I am not sure this is BB’s fault but mine appeared to have been previously opened and/or used.
On another note in regards to the quality of product for the price you pay for, they could’ve provided the soundtrack on CD or LP. They literally give you a code on a paper flyer inside the steel book to redeem the digital OST vs. an actual card as shown in the picture. The statue is also just a glorified action figure although does have good detail. I would honestly prefer an action figure with moving parts.
Some of these latter points were well known and expected. What I am not ok with is the very poor quality of the CE for the price paid. Very disappointing.

An incredible collector's package that includes a massive, highly detailed statue, a download code for the game soundtrack, the game, a steelbook case for the game, and a hardcover artbook. Everything fits in the box securely and is made of high quality materials. The box has beautiful detailing. Very happy with everything included. Certainly worth the price.

As a fan of the Dark Souls games, I was excited for Elden Ring and to see what improvements it would bring to the table. Aside from an open world, this really just feels like a Dark Souls game, clunkiness and all. I definitely was disappointed in the safe approach this took after Sekiro, which I really enjoyed. The music was of course wonderful and some of the environments were really nice, but I had higher expectations from an open world, seemingly ambitious FromSoft game. I really hope they try to improve the gameplay in the next iteration.

This is the culmination of all FROM Software's Soulsborne games up to this point. A massive world with tons to discover, defeat and get defeated by. If you're a fan of any of their games, this is a MUST play.
Collector's Edition bonuses are all great with the highlight being the Malenia statue, which has great detail.

The collector's edition is excellent, the steelbook is nice, statue is very cool, and the extra free steelbook is cool. The game is awesome and this edition was perfect for such a good game. It's a little overpriced but it was worth it since it came with an extra steelbook.

Like the title says, game is amazing, statue looks great too and the steelbook that came with it aswell. The free Bestbuy bonus steelbook took some time getting to me (got the collector's the 26th, the BB SB the 4th)
Only real issue I'm having is with a preorder dlc code I should havw gotten in an e-mail either on the 25th (release day) or when I received the collector's package. Otherwise great product and service. Still waiting on the code though

The game is awesome. High replay value. The gameplay is Soo much better and it is fun once you know how to play it for those new to this type of genre sword fighting game. I played previous dark souls games, but I feel this one is the way to go. It something about it that makes it fun to play. Plus it is open world. There is so much to do in this game. The box is not in mint or great condition, there were some minor damage on some of the packaging inside, but mine just happen to be one of those. Overall I am happy with my purchase when it came back in stock when they were sold out. I was closed to paying over retailed price from other sellers, but I'm glad I hold off on that and the elden lord's had answer my prayers. Lol anyways this is a great game.

Needless to say this is a top tier game and the collectors edition is a good value for what you get. The figure is great in contrast to most collector edition statues quality, the steelbook is nice, the art book is large in size but short in length, the box is nice for a box. If you haven't played any from software games, then if you like Zelda breath of the wild, Jedi fallen Order, and/or Ghost of tsushima then this may become your new favorite game.

Title says it all, everything that comes with the collector’s edition is quality and well made. The game itself is difficult but extremely satisfying about 50 hours in and I don’t feel as if I’ve even really scratched the surface. Boss fights are insane and finding all the dungeons in the open world is very engaging.
