Contents aren't decided yet (that is: they were not unveiled to the public).
I think they're following the Gears 2 routine:

A Limited Edition of the game was confirmed on February 20, 2008. On July 14, 2008, more information about the Limited Edition's contents was revealed.

that's why I said that we will probably see the contents on E3.

When did anyone EVER lie on the Internet? like...never!

I don't think they will reveal the contents in E3.

Since the multiplayer beta will start at 25 April, and people who haven't buy the Epic Editon of Bulletstorm need to pre-order the game to gain the code.

So they probably will annonce these two editions before that.

I just pre-ordered the Epic Edition today!

I hope they do the same as Halo reach and include the lesser edition by default. I was disappointed with the likes of GT5 Signature Editiona nd Halo 3 Legendary Edition which didn't include the basic CE as a basis. I would like to think for £100 they include the regular CE though


And I am hoping that it's another bust, rather than a statue or figure. I am really getting fed-up of figures, and would prefer something more exotic like a set of book ends or something which the actual game can be stored it

I was browsing Game4game.at and they have the Epic edition listed with a new picture.

Nice find - We will have to wait to see if the figurine is vinyl or resin based like the Crysis 2 nano edition.

Instant buy for me! Love the Epic Edition.
