Haha, I was thinking this one exactly (and one of the reasons I made this thread)

Not saying I plan to get this, but I think it's worth mentioning that Batman: Arkham Asylum has a GOTY edition out in Europe, and coming to the US in a month or so. From what I understand, it includes DLC packs formerly exclusive to consoles (but sadly, no Joker missions from the PS3 version), and also supports a red/cyan analglyph 3D mode, glasses included, that works on any monitor, and has some bonus missions designed with this 3D mode in mind.

I remember a time when GOTY was only used for GOTYs. Same with the "whatever Editions."

Now most anything that has extensive DLC post PC-release seems to get another version of some sort down the line. Or two. Or three. :?

Then there are the crappy GOTYs which ship the original game with the latest patch and some multiplayer maps which are free anyway.

I don't. I think the first "GOTY edition" I ever picked up was for Half-Life, which actually is serious GOTY material, but as you say, was a crappy GOTY that included the original game, the latest patch, and multiplayer maps which were free anyway. And Team Fortress Classic, which is also free anyway, if you bought any retail version of the game (doesn't apply to buying the Steam version).

But the second GOTY edition I got was Homeworld, not long afterwards. I'm pretty sure EVERYONE thought Deus Ex was by far the better game that year. This one included a soundtrack and hint book.

Good one, definitely.

I don't think Deus Ex, Homeworld and Half-Life should be up there though. I doubt you can buy any of them anymore. Even so I don't think that they 'fit' personally with modern GotY editions like you were talking about (basically just including the paid DLC for no extra charge)
