Modern Warfare 2 to get Collector’s Edition

Mysteriously vague listings have popped up for a Collector’s Edition release of the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Gamestop.com lists the CE version for Xbox 360, Playstation3, and PC while Amazon currently has a listing for just the Xbox 360. These all have a release date of November 10th this year and a price tag of about $80.

Here’s hoping this time around the CE packaging of a COD game will live up to the stardard of quality as the game itself, I’m not holding my breath though.

Street Fighter IV Final North American Box Art and Details Revealed

StageSelect has revealed the final North American Box Art details for Street Fighter IV Collector’s Edition.

Detail on what it includes:

North American deets for the long-awaited Collector’s Edition! We’re not just throwing a craptacular “behind-the-scenes” video and “art book” with less images than you can find on any website into a cheesey tin box. Instead, we’re bringing you a gorgeous package that includes:

1. The game (duh)
2. A limited-edition (ie., not sold anywhere else) figurine – Ryu in the PS3 box, C. Viper hotness in the 360 flavor. Decisions, decisions…
3. Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind: a 65 minute anime movie — created by Studio 4C — that sets up the story of SFIV by explaining events post-SFII. BluRay disc in the PS3 box! The Xbox version is a 360 game disc that outputs the movie at 720P, not a DVD.
4. A mini-strategy guide from Prima, written by the same people doing the full-on guide and illustrated by Udon Comics
5. CD soundtrack. Rock SFIV stage chunez in your car!
6. …Plus some secret additional downloadable content that we’re not quite ready to reveal at this point. Look for more announcements soon!

All this wrapped up nicely in a box that features Ikeno-san’s instant classic illustration of Ryu, with images of the other characters on the sides.

New Solicitations for North Ameica

Recent additions to the Upcoming North American Release List include:

Call of Duty 4 Game of the Year Edition - released two days ago for the Xbox 360 and arriving on the 23rd of this month on the PS3, this version of the game is identical to the regular edition but includes a code that can be used on the COD4 website which will then give you a code to download the recently released map pack on either Xbox Live Market Place or the Playstation Network Store. Price wise you basically save $5 over buying the game and the maps separate.

Madden NFL 2009 20th Anniversary Collector’s Edition – the 20th Madden game released in so many years. This Edition seems steeply priced at close to $90 but it comes with 2 games, both Madden 09 and Head Coach 09, as well as a “library” of bonus videos. If past Madden “editions” are any indication this will come in a standard plastic keep case and will probably drop in value substantially only a month or two after it’s release. Available for both Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 on August 12th.

Saints Row 2 Collector’s Edition – No details have been revealed about this edition but it will run you an extra $20 over the regular edition (so it better be good). Arrives on both Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 on August 26th.
