Blizzard could do this too if they, you know, ever release a new game:

Most every major game release seems to get some kind of special Collector's Edition and it looks like Electronic Arts' upcoming RTS title Command and Conquer Red Alert 3 is no exception. While it hasn't been announced yet for the US market, the UK based retailer GAME has revealed EA's plans for a special retail edition of the game.

The retail site states that the Collector's Edition will include a behind-the-scenes DVD with lots of info on the game, a game soundtrack CD, five exclusive multiplayer/skirmish maps, a beta key to a future C&C branded title (perhaps the recently delayed Tiberium?) and most unusual of all a special in-game item for use in EA's upcoming MMO Warhammer Online.

The extra shit in the RA2 special edition rocked. It would be cool if I could get a tesla tank mount for a dwarf character in warhammer online out of this.

Blizzard needs to add a WoW stimpack trinket item code in the Starcraft 2 CE. DO IT.

Casting Jenny McCarthy to play Hooters McBooby was an A+ move from EA.

Oh man.  Johnathon Price?  Tim Curry?  That guy from Lost?  Sulu?

I wish I could just rent some of these EA games for the FMV.

Sulu as the Japanse Emperor duder is amazing. EA's actual RTS games may be somewhat hit or miss compared to the genre greats, but man oh man they put on a spectacle like no other.

I think every game would be better with cheesy FMV. Just imagine if Too Human had live-action cutscenes OMG! :drool
