Well, yes and no...most people are hardcore about SOMEthing or other...people are willing to buy the more expensive, higher-quality item only if they actually CARE about the bonus items. People who buy, say, anime artbooks are the people who would care about the limited edition cool stuff. Same as people who camped the movie theatres for Star Wars Episode I were the kind of people that buy the trilogy every time Lucas rereleases it with extra stuff.
