Over the years, sure! But there's a huge difference in production quality, and those games today would probably cost a lot less bought individually (with the soundtracks included in the LEs, and artbooks with the relevant Superplays.)
The collection always was a 'budget' box though: I respect Cave for not making any bones about that - it's more the markup that's horrific.
That said, no images of this collection revision yet. I assume the packaging will be the same, but I'd really love for them to make it something genuinely special. I think I mentioned last time that when I imagine an ultimate collection, I'm thinking a light wood box with a metal clasp, distinctly Japanese, with the same calligraphy on the front and an open up lid. Inside they could have a few unique trinkets and place everything into designated wooden slots - perhaps include a special DVD behind the scenes, touring the Cave office and interviewing various people about their favourite moments in development.
In-fact there are so many ways to make even me break out the plastic for such a thing, I'm surprised the product itself is so uninspiring - but I just assume that they have no money, time, or care.
