History:
The Pin Ultimate Edition was co-created by Penny Arcade and is an extension the “Pinny Arcade” Pin collecting program. The “Pin Ultimate” edition name is a pun on the term “penultimate”. Since the game was only planned to only ever be released as a downloadable title Microsoft and Penny Arcade wanted to create something physical for collectors. The Pin Ultimate Edition only includes 2 pins but has space for 16 in the display book, encouraging gamers to accomplish tasks both in-game and in the real world to obtain the remaining pins. The hope being that the pins would serve as a real-world version of the Xbox “Achievement” system. [source].
