Red Faction: Armageddon Collector's Edition on EBgames

Ayiu · #1 03-12-2011, 12:55 AM

This news post is about Red Faction: Armageddon which will be released on May 31!
So far the Collector's Edition is only announced for Australia where it is exclusive to EBgames.com.au

I know it isn't much solace, but it might become available in Europe and the United States closer to release, though.

The Collector's Edition of Red Faction: Armageddon includes the following bonus content:

A3 poster
Commando Pack DLC
- Commando Outfit
- Dual Wield Laser Pistols
- Plasma Thrower

Recon Pack DLC
- Recon Outfit
- Arc Welder
- XNG-5000
Red Faction Battlegrounds XBL Arcade Game

It's just some DLC and a poster?

Eh, I wouldn't mind if this remained an Australian exclusive, tbh. *shrug

+ DLC for a Xbox LIVE Arcade game

and I can write you a number on the box. So Monsieur gets his very own numbered box for Red Faction

Oh crap, I missed that part.

EDIT_ Speaking of this bonus Xbox Live Arcade game, Red Faction Battlegrounds, it is being offered as a pre-order incentive, free of charge. Simply pre-order through Amazon.com, and you will receive a download code via e-mail. (I'm not sure about other regions outside of N.America, tho)

So, at least there is some form of consolation for those outside of Australia.

That would be great!

I would love this edition released in Europe. having the DLC poster and old version of game free of charge is better than nothing. well here in the UK anyway.

^ Import it.

Unfortunately ebgames does not export.

Mandingo · #8 03-12-2011, 11:14 PM

yeah that sucks, but we have some Australian members here you could potentially contact.

gurpswoo1 · #9 03-12-2011, 11:43 PM

Yeah - I am going to make a wanted thread closer to release date in case other AUS stores get stock or it is released in Europe aswell. Not holding out much hope though.

The Battlegrounds game is a nice addition. Something more than some DLC and a poster would have been good. You know that the DLC will end up on PSN and XBL MP in about a month anyway.
We would all get better special editions if every retailer didnt demand an exclusive! If EB didnt demand and exclusive verision the quantity would rise and the offers to the gamers would be better.
