Prototype 2 Limited Edition

Again 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?

Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 will get Limited and Special Edition + New Wii console colour

Sega will be releasing two Collector’s Edition for Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games aswell as a new Limited console.

The first is a Limited Edition exclusive to Ebgames in Australia, it will contain the following:

• Steel Tin
• Poster
• T Shirt
• Notebook
• Carry Bag

For Europe, Sega will be releasing a Special Edition which contains a standard copy of the game and comes with a Metal Steel Tin, similar to Super Mario Galaxy 2.  Certain retailers will have this edition in each country so be on the look out. Amazon UK has this listed already and can be pre-ordered here 

Lastly is the release of a Limited Edition Wii console, it will contain a console and Wii mote in Sonic blue, although I don’t see the resemblance in the colour myself.  It also contains a pack of Mario and Sonic sticker. With the release of Wii-U around the corner this is more than likely the last of the true limited edition Wii consoles.

UK pre-orders are open but expect this to be Europe and Australian wide, no word on a North American release yet.

Pre-order for £135  from GAME UK here

Limited Edition Metal Gear Solid HD Collection Announced

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.
