Teen Forked Over $70 for ‘The Last Ronin Game’ Deluxe Edition? What You’re Actually Buying (and Avoiding) This Holiday
If you or your kid is hyped for *The Last Ronin Game*—the upcoming video game based on the gritty TMNT comic—hold your wallet. The publisher just dropped pricing, and the standard digital copy is $59.99. But here’s the rub: the “Collector’s Edition” starts at $199.99 and includes a statue, art book, and steelbook case. Before you drop two Benjamins, know this: the actual game content is identical. That $140 premium is purely for physical swag that will collect dust in six months. Worse, some pre-order bundles are locking gameplay bonuses—like a special weapon skin--behind the highest tier. That’s a raw deal for your budget. For the average player, snagging the base digital version for $59.99 or waiting for a post-launch sale (think 20% off within three months) is the smart play. Don’t let FOMO drain your account before Christmas. The game itself? It’s a brutal, single-player action brawler that critics are already calling a hidden gem. But the extras? That’s how they get you to spend more than the console itself costs.
