Recently Edios announced that Europe will be getting a Game of the Year edition of Batman: Arkham Asylum, while there’s nothing special about the packaging it does include some DLC content the real interesting part is that it will include a pair of 3D glasses and you will be able to play the game in 3D on both your HD or SD TV.
The GOTY edition will be available for Xbox 360 and PS3 in Europe on March 26th at a price of £39.99
The Final Fantasy XIII Super Elite console bundle hasn’t even been released yet and already they’ve announced the next one. The Upcoming Splinter Cell Conviction will be getting it’s own “Special Edition” console bundle that like other Super Elites will include a 250GB hard drive and a 2nd wireless controller, as well as a copy of the game.
Unfortunately there will be no special case art, simply black plastic like the normal edition, also disappointing is that the console will include the regular edition of the game rather than the Collector’s Edition that is also slated for release.
This bundle will be released along side the regular and collectors edition of the game on April 13th, at a price of $399, which is a pretty good deal when you consider it will include a $60 game, a $60 controller and an extra 130GB worth of hard drive space over the regular $299 Elite console.
Square-Enix recently releases this amazingly short video showing off the upcoming Collector’s Edition of Final Fantasy XIII
Kotaku reports that when viewing the posters included with the Bioshock 2 SE with a black light hidden messages appear.
A 2K forum poster holding a random blacklight session with his friends discovered scrawled secret messages on the three BioShock 2 posters that were packed in his special edition. Creepy!
As proof, another 2K forum-goer posted these images, along with a video that can be found at PhotoBucket.
IGN just posted up some footage from Alan Wake, while not uncommon to see pre-release footage, the interesting thing here is it’s from the bonus content that will be included with the Limited Edition.
It’s the Bioshock 1 Big Daddy situation all over again. Apparently quite a few facehuggers figurines included with the just released AvP arrived with their tails broken off. Thankfully Sega has been quick to initiate a replacement program.
This page is for AvP Hunter’s Pack customers in the North American region only.
It has come to our attention that some of the exclusive Facehugger models included in the Aliens Vs Predator Hunter Edition have suffered damage in transit to North American retail.
We apologize for any inconvenience and are happy to provide replacements for any customers who received damaged products. Please fill out the following information so we can confirm your purchase. We will then contact you via email with instructions on how to receive a replacement Facehugger collectable.
I picked up my copy yesterday but I haven’t yet had a chance to unbox it.
Anyone in the CEo community end up with a fragile face hugger?
A lot of people are looking forward to the upcoming Alien vs. Predator game. A lot of collector’s are looking forward to the Hunter Edition which includes don’t only a model facehugger, but also four exclusive multiplayer maps.
Well maybe not so exclusive… vg247 reported earlier this week that the exclusive maps would be released to the public “soon after release”, no price for the maps has been announced.
In the excerpts from the article Tim Jones goes on about the importance of the Special Edition to the fans of the IP.
How special the timed exclusivity of the mutiplayer maps actually is will remain to be seen.
Earlier this week Capcom announced the last 2 new characters that will round out the roster on the upcoming Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition: Rebecca Chambers and Barry Burton.
These characters will be playable on the revamped Mercenaries “Reunion” mode. So far the Reunion mode roster is slated to include the following characters:
In addition to the revamped Mercinaries mode the Gold Edition will also include two new episodes for the single player campaign and new costumes.
The Xbox 360 release will include a regular game disc with DLC content codes to download the new content, while the PS3 version will include the new content on the disc. Those who already own Resident Evil 5 will be able to purchase the new content though the Xbox Live Marketplace, or the Playstation Store.
So far we’ve seen “Super Elite” Xbox 360 bundles for Modern Warfare 2 in North America, For Forza Motorsports 2, and Resident Evil 5 in Europe and Australia. Now Microsoft will be releasing a Final Fantasy XIII Super Elite bundle for the US.
For those of you who don’t know the only real difference between a normal Elite and a Super Elite is the inclusion of a 250GB Hard Drive as well as a second wireless controller (why you would need a second controller for Final Fantasy is beyond me).
Europe will receive a similar bundle available as either a regular elite with a 120GB hard drive or a super elite with a 250GB hard drive and extra controller.
In the Past Super Elites have also come with a special case decoration of some sort, the Modern Warfare bundle had some fancy case decoration, and the Resident Evil bundle came in a fire-engine red case. the Final Fantasy XIII SE will sadly only come in the plane vanilla white and a faceplate (which will be for sale separately anyway)
At least the PS3 FFXIII bundle in Japan came with fancy FFXIII themed graphics. The Xbox 360 bundle will only be available in the US and Europe, it will release alongside the game on March 9th at a price of $399.
