I dunno' 'bout that much....

...since most games that have a original box and at least one expansion do at least eventually have some sort of special edition combining them all into one big box -- like The Sims, Gothic 2, Morrowind and NWN did. Hell, NWN has had like 3 or 4 editions, from NWN Gold (NWN + NWN SOU) to Platinum (NWN + SOU + HOTU) to Diamond (w/ NWN + SOU + HOTU + 3 Premium Mods).
