Saints Row IV Emperor Zinyak's Game of the Generation Edition

The name alone tells you everything. The Saints Row IV Emperor Zinyak's Game of the Generation Edition on Playstation 3 is the definitive version of Volition's alien-fighting presidential simulator, and it came loaded for display. A 12-inch Dubstep Gun Replica with actual laser and sound effects.

A Dubstep Doomsday Button. A Johnny Gat Memorial Statue. A light-up rotating display case with an individually numbered plaque.

A top shelf protective pouch for that case. And the Commander in Chief Edition tucked inside with alternate box art, complete with the Merica Weapon, Uncle Sam Suit, and Screaming Eagle Jet DLC. This is the kind of PS3 era collector's package that doesn't just sit on a shelf.

It commands the shelf. The rotating light-up display case alone elevates this above most collector's editions from any generation, and the individually numbered plaque gives it the scarcity factor that makes collectors lose sleep. The Dubstep Gun Replica with working lights and sound is a centerpiece item, the kind of thing that anchors an entire display setup.

Emperor Zinyak's edition earned its absurd title. It really might be the game of the generation, at least in terms of sheer collector's edition ambition.
