Assassin's Creed III Ultimate Special Edition

Some collector's editions give you a figurine and call it a day. " This massive bundle combines the Freedom Edition of Assassin's Creed III with Assassin's Creed III Liberation on PS Vita, creating a two-game package that spans the full scope of the American Revolution arc. But the physical goods are where this one truly flexes.

You're getting a full backpack satchel, a tomahawk USB key that's equal parts functional and ridiculous, a steel postcard, a notebook, a belt buckle, a wristband, and an iron-on patch. That's basically a Colonial Assassin cosplay starter kit. The steelbook houses your disc in style, and the lead figurines add genuine weight to your shelf, both literally and figuratively.

Toss in the tomahawk keychain and Liberation keychain, and you've got accessories for your accessories. The digital side isn't slouching either, with the Captain of the Aquila pack, Colonial Assassin gear, and Red Coat Multiplayer Pack for PS3, plus the Mysteries of the Bayou content for Vita. This dropped during that glorious PS3 era when publishers were still trying to outdo each other with physical goods, before everything migrated to digital deluxe tiers and season passes.

The sheer volume of tangible stuff in this box makes it a standout from the mid-gen collector wars. If your shelf doesn't have a backpack hanging off it yet, now's your chance to fix that.
