Saints Row IV Commander in Chief Edition

Not every collector needs a 12-inch dubstep gun on their shelf. Some of us just want to be president. The Saints Row IV Commander in Chief Edition on Xbox 360 strips the package down to the essentials: the game and the Commander-in-Chief DLC pack.

That DLC gives you the Screaming Eagle Jet, the Uncle Sam outfit, and the Merica Gun, which is about as subtle as a fireworks display in a library. This was the entry-level special edition for Saints Row IV, the version that let you grab the exclusive in-game content without committing to the full Wub Wub experience. For collectors, the Commander in Chief Edition occupies an interesting space.

It's the most common of the Saints Row IV special editions, but a sealed copy still carries weight because it represents the baseline tier of a franchise that went completely nuclear with its upper editions. The Screaming Eagle Jet alone is one of the most memorable DLC vehicles in gaming history, a jet shaped like a bald eagle that screams America with zero irony and maximum volume. In a 360 collection, this sits as the accessible entry point to the Saints Row IV edition hierarchy, and there's something to be said for completionists who want every tier represented on the shelf.
