Don't you all agree? I mean, we would all buy it.

This may be the last chance before the primary focus shifts to a new console. Regardelss, many of this generations great games and many of its sports games (great or not) have got cool collector's editions. Here are a few of the franchises in sports that have done it:

Gran Turismo, NBA 2k, Tiger Woods, Madden & NHL.

It's probably too late and I wish I'd thought to type this back in November/December, but here is an idea for the MLB The Show 13 Collector's Edition:

1.) The Game, of course.
2.) Collectible Steelbook shaped like the Home Plate with disk inside
3.) CD Soundtrack with classics like "Take me out to the ballgame," famous organ tracks like "Jaws" and maybe even a few classic calls like Joe Carter's homerun in the world series.
4.) Topps rookie baseball card (one of 25 rookies in each package) - "who will be the next star of the Show?"
5.) MLB official logo patch
6.) Cooperstown Field of Dreams art lithograph
7.) DLC voucher for 10,000 diamond dynasty or road to the show points (or something like that)
8.) Art book highlighting all of the MLB stadiums

Additional items that would make a much more expensive CE or a Limited Edition:

1.) Voucher for contest entry to win a trip for two to the All Star Game;
2.) MacFarlane Figure (a smaller one, not one of the big ones) of Bud Selig. HA! Or they could choose somebody that is a beloved figure in baseball history.
3.) An authentic MLB baseball.
4.) Coupon for $10 off at MLB shop
5.) Voucher for a free MLB.com online-pass for the 2013 season (to watch games online)
6.) Download of PS2 classic MLB 2006 the show
7.) Super CD double-disk soundtrack featuring all of the artists/songs highlighted in game over the years.
8.) Autographed/signed poster of the in-game announcing team.

I'm sure there are better ideas than these but my hope is that we get a CE or LE from the Show because this game seriously deserves it. I don't want to have to wait for the 10th anniversay or something like that...I'm not even sure if the 10th anniversary would be The Show 14 or 15 (b/c 06 had two years).
