The news was delivered during a live playthrough demonstration on the EB Expo Arena stage. Namco Bandai confirmed later that you will be able to select of either a standard edition, a limited edition or a big-boy special edition. No details have been revealed on what the limited and special editions will contain, but Square Enix is set to reveal all this coming week.

Stay tuned for pictures coming soon. Thank you Esperino for the information! :-)

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.

Exclusive In-Game Items:

• Alternate darkling outfit – “Crazy Abdul”

I’m not sure if there is a special Steelbook or anything like that. It sounds as if there is only some digital Content for the Limited Edition.

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.
