Mortal Kombat Tournament Edition

A portable fight stick changes the entire equation. The Mortal Kombat Tournament Edition on PS3 came with a custom fight stick designed for competitive play, plus DLC codes for a Klassic costume skin and avatar costumes. While most collector's editions throw in figurines and art books, the Tournament Edition gave you a functional piece of gaming hardware built for one purpose: executing fatalities with precision.

The 2011 Mortal Kombat reboot reignited the competitive fighting game scene, and this edition was aimed squarely at the players who wanted tournament-ready inputs from day one. Fight sticks are beloved by the FGC, and having one branded and built specifically for Mortal Kombat gives it collector appeal that transcends the game itself. The PS3 era was the golden age of the fight stick renaissance, and the Tournament Edition sits alongside offerings from Mad Catz and Hori as a piece of that history.

These are getting harder to find in working condition because, true to their purpose, people actually used them. A complete, functional Tournament Edition is the kind of piece that appeals to both collectors and competitive players, which means demand comes from two directions at once. If you see one, don't hesitate.
