Planning on buying the collector’s edition of a video game or movie for a loved one this year?  Well, if you are you may want to make sure that they’re not only opening but also using those gifts in a timely fashion.  Why you ask?  The answer’s simple: in place of tangible bonuses, some collectors’ editions now include time-sensitive promotional codes that are intended to be used within a few months of the product’s release date.

Although this is by no means a new practice, it’s definitely something to keep in mind before letting that copy of Dragon Age: Origins or Watchmen sit in your closet for two months.  After all, who wants to lose out on some extra in-game swag or access to a digital copy?  Just keep in mind that this doesn’t only apply to in-box promotional materials!  Many video game preorder codes also come with expiration dates, including the Sgt. Johnson character code for Halo 3: ODST.
