It's a conspiracy to make people spend more money than necessary for what they need. *_*

Because they'd make less money. That's why they tend to put out a few together rather than all of them. For one, more people can afford the smaller collections; plus, as an actual collector's edition, it'd be rather bulky and they'd have to make all of the games compatible with at least one console system for convenience's sake. Rabid, crazy fans may buy however many of the collector's edition that they make, but it'd be costly because making the collector's edition would be costly. Which brings us back to why more would be able to afford the small collections (non-edition) and thus, over time, more would be able to buy them since not many would be able to save enough for the collector's edition. Also, as seen with Final Fantasy 3, remaking old games is more profitable than reselling the old version at a small fraction of its price, which is why Chrono trigger and Final Fantasy 6 (I believe), as well as a few other games, were sold together on a new console for the price of one game. I have one game that has thirteen games on it, for the Genesis and Gamegear. That's thirteen of them for the price of one. :O But that's how they make money on games that wouldn't sell well alone... Or in pairs... Or in threes... <.<; Either way, it's all about the money. If it weren't, the Final Fantasy 6 adaption for the Playstation likely wouldn't have been so crappy. >.<
