Collector's editions?

Is there any easy location to find out if a game has a collector's edition online? I'm a sucker for cheap marketing ploys and the extra plastic and metal makes me feel complete.

even better could someone tell me if the following games have/are going to have a collector's edition?

1. GTA IV

2. Assains' Creed

3. The Orange Box

4. Mass Effect

5. COD: 4

6. Guitar Hero III

7. Army of Two

8. Forza 2

And one more thing, I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a Bioshock collector's edition, but i have two questions. Is the figurine a rip-off like the halo 3 legondary, or is there a middle version like the halo 3 collectors? seccond, I don't really like games with hundreds of things to think about, i like to point and shoot, and switch weapons. after playing the demo I got the impression that I'd have to be always quickly seeing oppuritunities and taking advantage of them to be considered "good". in contrast in Halo all I have to do is have quick reflexes and focus on the two weapons that I have on hand.

I know that this sounds bone headed, but the scope of the options seems daunting to me. I mostly play Go, Halo, R6V, Project Snowblind, ect...

thanks for the help

Mass Effect will have collectors edition. The best way to get your limited edition is to preorder

1. GTA IV - Yes, definitely. It's huge; includes a bag, and a little metal box or something, and other stuff.

2. Assassin's Creed - Yes, definitely, Has an additional DvD and a special metal box with a number or something. There's also a figurine apparently, but I don't know if that's region-limited, since I've heard nothing of it outside of America.

3. The Orange Box - Not as far as I've seen.

4. Mass Effect - Rumored, in all likelihood, there will be one.

5. COD4 - I think I read something about a planned CE, although no idea of the content.

6. Guitar Hero 3 - Haven't heard anything, but I think there will be.

7. Army of Two - Not that I know of, I don't really expect a CE either to be honest, just my opinion.

8. Forza 2 - Yes, there is one. I have it. It's alright, interesting bonus content worth the extra $10.
