Notes

The $666.66 price has sparked debate, with some calling it a meme-driven cost relying on FOMO, especially since the games themselves are widely available digitally for much less (often under $10 on Steam or free for prior owners).

The box and handheld Cacodemon are novel but may not justify the cost for all—some speculate the figurine and tapes could be worth grabbing separately on secondary markets like eBay later.

Cheaper alternatives exist: the Standard Edition ($29.99) and Big Box Edition ($99.99) include the games without the extravagant extras.

This edition is a love letter to DOOM superfans and collectors, but its niche appeal and high price make it impractical for casual players. If you’re after the games alone, the digital version or cheaper physical editions are better bets. For collectors, the Cacodemon gadgets and limited run make it tempting, though the cost is steep.
