sure it's $90 but that's $30 worth of extra stuff (USB with some of the OST on it, an aRT BOOK WITH LOTS OF ART IN IT WHICH IS PROBABLY WORTH THE $30 EXTRA ON ITS OWN, a cool card with some art on it, and a special edition jacket/box) and it's worth it
i must get it.
My copy of Halo Wars came with a UNSC Spirit of Fire sticker (for a car I think) and a prequel graphic novel, plus in-game goodies, then Mass Effect 3 came with a Velcro N7 patch, free Xbox avatar prop (only redeemable with Kinect...sellouts...) and in-game goodies.
A bunch of art and a custom case seems...light for a CE.
Steelbook and artbook are basically mandatory for a decent CE IMO - they are things that any fan of the game can appreciate, and are actually useful and interesting to non-serious collectors. I'd be disappointed to see a CE show up without one.
Soundtrack is a bit less common and I wish more CE's included it.
