Prototype 2 Limited Edition
January 24th, 2012 AnjelaoniAgain a “Not So Special Edition”. Why? Well, just some digital content. Chances are bad for a Collectors Edition, but there is still time to change that, right Activision?

Lots of you wrote in to tell us about the recently revealed Collector’s Edition of the Upcoming Ninja Gaiden 3.
This Edition looks to come in a nice box and includes all of the content you’d expect from a higher end CE. A CD soundtrack an artbook and a pair of figurines. Fans of Dead or Alive will also be happy to see the inclusion of a voucher for a special version of the Dead or Alive 5 demo which includes 4 playable fighters (as opposed other versions of the demo which only include 2 fighters).
Scheduled for release on Xbox 360 and PS3 March 20th in North America and March 23rd in Europe. No official pricing has been announced and it doesn’t seem to be available for pre-order anywhere yet but it’s rumored to be priced around $100 USD.
Thank you to everyone who wrote in to tell us about the leaked Collector’s Edition of Aliens: Colonial Marines. French Gaming site Gamekyo broke the announcement.
The graphic above clearly shows that the CE will come in a nice looking display box along with a statue of the iconic power loader along with some in-game content. It’s unclear which region the CE is slated for, though considering the game has already been released in North America (correction: it was scheduled for release in November but pushed back) and the leak occurred in France I would venture a guess that this will be at very least a UK release, possibly all of Europe. I would suspect we will get more details including pricing once it gets closer to the ambiguous “Spring 2012″ release date.

If you pay close attention to the news you’ve probably caught wind of the Limited Edition of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection that has been announced for the North American market. I’ve received dozens of emails on the subject so I figured I better post up the news.
Available for the PS3 and Xbox 360 the Limited Edition includes the standard edition of the release along with what looks like a fairly substantial hard-cover Art Book. This makes for a fairly simple LE release though the large box that will house the two items was designed by Yoji Shinkawa.
While this wont be nearly as sought after as the very quickly sold out Zavvi exclusive SteelBook variant of this release, it would make an excellent pickup for any fan of the series.
Slated for release on November 8th you can pre-order through Amazon.com [PS3] [Xbox 360] or pretty much any other game retailer for about $80.
GameGears have announced that they will be releasing an exclusive Collector’s Edition for the game Rage.

Pre-orders can be made here: Rage Collector’s Edition
Please note that the GameGears website is down for improvements and is expected to be back to normal tomorrow.
