    Fc Robot 1 What is the biggest, most complete game ever sold that wasn't a special edition?

    The game that came with the biggest/flashiest box, manuals, maps or guides, or even swag, but wasn't LE but the actual regular copy of that game.

    Anyone?

    A recent one I can remember is Persona 3 for PS2. According to Amazon:

    Each copy comes with 52-page Color Art Book, Soundtrack CD featuring 18 songs and outer Collector's Box

    Agree, the Flight Sims had huge documentation. My Falcon 4.0 has a Flight Binder.

    I imagine it is just like the Microsoft Office 2000 diskette version box... huge printed manuals and a lot of diskettes on a box that could have three ps3s stacked up inside lol. But I remember some older games like Caesar II and some random flight sim that had those huge boxes filled to the brim with propaganda and manuals. The game's disk occupied 1/50 of the box haha

    Most 3DS games don't come with manuals now. I see many games now being released without manuals...
