Rocksmith Best Buy Exclusive Edition

Rocksmith changed the game by turning your actual guitar into a controller, and the Best Buy Exclusive Edition on PC sweetened the deal for those who knew where to shop. The Rocksmith Best Buy Exclusive Edition includes everything from the standard release plus three additional effects pedals and a unique in-game Gibson Guitar. It was, as the name makes painfully clear, only available through Best Buy in the US.

Rocksmith occupies a fascinating niche in collecting. It wasn't just a game, it was a legitimate learning tool, and its community stayed active for years after launch. The Best Buy exclusive extras are purely digital, which means there's no physical differentiator on the outside.

But collectors who care about complete experiences know that the DLC content locked to this version is what sets it apart. Retail exclusives from this era are getting harder to verify and harder to find sealed. If you're a Rocksmith fan who wants the fullest possible version of the original PC release, this is the one to track down before the remaining copies scatter into the void of forgotten inventory.
