BioShock 2 Special Edition Unboxing

2K games released this unboxing video for the Special Edition of Bioshock 2 (out next week) I don’t know about you but I’m quite surprised with the size of the box. I was skeptical that it wouldn’t live up to CE for the first game but this smashes any doubts I had (literally and figuratively) .

Turning Point: The Fall of Liberty Special Edition NTSC Xbox 360 Photos

The name of this edition of Turning Point: The Fall of Liberty is unclear. In online listings before release it was listed as “Collector’s Edition” However the case itself has no moniker beyond the regular game name. The wrapping around the case did feature a sticker referring to it as a “Special Edition” But the bonus disc and the art book both carried the term “Limited Edition”. Special Edition is probably the most accurate label considering Codemaster’s last release of this type, Clive Barker’s Jericho, carried the “Special Edition” Label, also that is the term used on the outside of the actual case.

Despite the confusion with the name the case is distinctly different than that of the regular edition, while carrying nearly identical artwork the Special Edition comes in a 2 Disc Steel Book Case.

Inside the differences between the two versions further diverge with the inclusion of an alternate history timeline poster, a “Limited Edition” Concept art book, and a Limed Edition DVD which includes a behind the Scenes making of feature as well as the Game’s Soundtrack. In addition to the regular edition disc and manual.

Also included is a reminder that by registering your game you’ll receive a code that will allow you to use an infinite number of grenades in game.

You may recall that those who Pre-Ordered the game through Gamestop also received a Pre-Order pack.

It’s clear that a great deal of thought went into both the Pre-Order Pack and Special Edition, offering high quality items that enhance the experience as opposed to something that was thrown together to make some extra coin, this is further proven by the fact that the Pre-Order pack was free, and the Special Edition is only $5 more than the regular edition.
