It seems that un boxing the Collector’s Edition of your latest game is all the rage, and Square Enix is hoppin’ on board with Final Fantasy XIII. Of course, instead of giving one of their employees 20 bucks to unbox the thing on video they created an elaborate, yet short, virtual unboxing of the Collector’s Edition.
Unfortunately there is no information as to the contents of the pack but we can definitely make out some artwork booklets and perhaps even the sound track.
Ubisoft has today come forth to give us a look at the Splinter Cell Conviction Collector’s Edition that will be hitting store shelves in “all European, Middle Eastern, Asian and Pacific territories”.

- An exclusive Sam Fisher statue
- Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Conviction game in unique SteelBook™ case
- Infiltration Mode : Eliminate all hostiles in the mission area without being detected
- A special playable skin: Shadow Armor
- Early access to 3 weapons: SC300, SR2 and MP5
- The official Splinter Cell Conviction Soundtrack (more than 17 tracks)
This version of the game will be available for both the PC and Xbox 360 and will be available around February 26th.
Are you a PC gamer? Have you been eyeballin’ the Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition that features working night vision goggles? Well, there’s good news and some bad news.
The good news is you’re going to be saving close to $100 when you pick up Modern Warfare 2 this November. The bad news? Well, you’re going to be saving that money because Activision has announced that there will be no PC version of the Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition, hell, there won’t even be a Hardened Edition.
So yes, you’re going to be stuck just playing the game rather than galavanting around in night vision goggles, bummer.
Just earlier we got our first look at the DJ Hero box art and now Activision has humored given us a look at the DJ Hero Renegade Edition.
This collector’s edition will include the carrying case, pictured above, the turn table controller, a stand for said turn table and 2 CDs worth of Jay-Z/Eminem music.
The press release didn’t give an exact price but EBGames currently has it listed at $199.99. Any buyers?
Extending the idea of collector’s editions to ludicrously expensive levels, publishers Eidos and Warner Bros. have officially announced the CE for Batman: Arkham Asylum, which is due out on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 this summer.
Priced at $100, a $40 premium over most other collector’s editions, the package will come with the game bundled with a 14″ Batarang (with stand) that matches the in-game design; a full, embossed leather dust jacketed Arkham doctor’s journal; 2 sleeve Digipak containing the game disc and a behind-the-scenes DVD; and a code for the exclusive downloadable challenge map “Crime Alley”. Oh, and a full-color manual.
As a silver lining of sorts, the regular PC version of the game will cost $49.99, $10 cheaper than the console versions.
Capcom has spilled the beans on information regarding the Resident Evil 5: Collector’s Edition. The package will come with a Tricell Messenger Bag, a Chris Redfield Figurine, a BSAA Patch, a Kijuju pendant, a Steel Book (including the game and a bonus disc), and, of course, a manual.
The bonus disc will feature a “Making of Resident Evil 5″ video, a digital art gallery, and a trailer for Resident Evil Degeneration.
The collector’s edition will retail for $89.99 for the Xbox 360 and PS3 in March.
Just in case you have some money left after Christmas and New Year’s you’ll want to know that today only Amazon is selling the Xbox 360 Fallout 3 Collector’s Edition for just $49.98 with free shipping.
What’s inside the package you ask? Well there are plenty of things! You will get your own Vault Boy collectors item direct from Vault-Tec, “The Art of Fallout 3″ hardcover book, a special “The Making of Fallout 3″ DVD, the fully customized metal Vault-Tec lunch box and the game itself. Want it? Desperately? Go look it up at Amazon.com!
Peter Molynuex has an odd habit of over-promising features and technical accomplishments that one of his games, specifically on of his Fable games, will have. No matter how hard they try, the games seem to always launch without some sort of feature that they might have shown off or spoken about. That is why I find it endlessly ironic that Lionhead has announced that the Fable 2 Collector’s Edition will ship with less content than originally planned.
“The premium box, five printed fate cards, and Hobbe figure will not be available as part of the Limited Collector’s Edition. We apologize for any inconvenience.”
The price, however, has also been reduced. Whereas the original Collector’s Edition of Fable 2 was $79.99, the new bundle will be priced at $69.99, merely $10 more than the price of the standard copy of Fable 2. For that price, buyers will get a bonus DVD with new ‘Making-of’ Feature, bonus in-game content (which will be obtained online via Xbox Live), The Hall of the Dead’ Dungeon(which I believe is a map), The Wreckager Legendary Cutlass Weapon, Spartan armor and energy sword. Once you are done enjoying that, you might also want to check out the actual game, which is also included in the Collector’s Edition. Lionhead will also release the canceled “fate cards” as a PDF.
