The First is the Special Edition which will include the following:

- Special multiplayer title: “Sentinel” – DLC Code

Secondly there is a Survivor Edition which will include the following:
- A canvas bag
- Chimera target practice poster
- Joseph Capelli’s journal
- Hip flask
- Playing cards
- Chimera plastic toy soldiers.
- The Special Edition of Resistance 3 above
No word on pricing or which PAL countries will get it yet, however we do know that if you pre-order the standard copy of the game you will get either some or all the DLC codes from the Special Edition as a free bonus.
Also if you pre-order the game from certain store you can get a Chimera tooth necklace.
Resistance 3 will be released on 6th September in the USA, 9th in the UK and the 7th for the rest of the world.
Thanks to Gemini-Phoenix for the info.
resistance 3 survivor edition is looking might fine just hope the price is ok.
i havent found anywhere to pre-order the survivor edition yet but the standard edition is up for pre-order.
I'm thinking bags and backpacks are the "in" thing for 2011, what with the Crysis 2 Nano Edition, InFamous 2 Hero Edition, and now this. If you add GTA IV, the North American CE for Resident Evil 5 and Mirror's Edge CE's, that's a pretty substantial collection of bags we're amassing in our collections!
was about to post this as a link but you beat me gemini lol yea looks tasty
Cool, i love the resistance franchise so ill get this definitely, possibly survivor ill wait and see, thanks for the info
That "Vinyl effect Blu-ray disc looks really cool. But that's all (except for the steelbook). What else do I get in the special edition ? A lot of digital codes. More than that...
The "Survivor Edition" looks much better, there's a lot of goodies inside, but I think the price will be too high. If they will make a lot of units and the price will drop to 50 pounds (like the KZ3 Helghast Edition) I will buy one.
If not it really depends on how much will cost the special edition. I like the special looking bluray and the steelcase, but I won't pay more than 10 pounds (extra) for that.
I´m going to annoy my local seller until they have the preorder for the survivor edition! They know me and I think they will surrender and offer it to me very soon.
Anyone going to take a guess which UK retailer will get the exclusive for this? PLAY.com got the InFamous 2 Hero Edition, so they may also go for this. HMV are apparently on the brink of administration so I hear, so they may not want to stock yet another large CE again. GAME might, but they too may not have the storage capacity, and hav learnt in the past that they get stuck with these things and have to offer them at a loss
I'm actually guessing the total volume of this CE might actually be as small as the Assassin's Creed Brotherhood: Codex Edition or GTA IV CE. There's nothing really large included - The satchel can be folded up, and everything else is quite small and can be stashed neatly
Why has no one asked about the availability of either the Survivor or Limited Editions in North America? Why is this PAL exclusive? It is not fair. I could say so much more but there's no point...this is happening more and more. No amount of bitching or moaning will change the decisions publishers make regarding availability of limited or collectible edition games.
The fact is, the Sony division in each region act independently on certain decisions. They have to judge how the edition will be received and if it's suitable.
Take for example, Little Big planet Collector's Edition, we got a steel book while the USA/CA got the book ends editions. The same goes for Mortal Kombat, You got the superior edition.
Why they though they would not be suitable for PAL regions is unknown, perhaps we don't read that many books. LOL.
But I agree, why region restrict some editions but not others.
I think there is a mistake, in the Special edition the Chimera tooth necklace is not a DLC it's a real necklace that you can wear.PS3 Eu Blog check.
oops - Sorry though they were all DLC codes. Thanks for clearing that up. Have amended the post.
i see game4game now have the survival edition up for 149 euro
out of my price range sorry to say. sorry if already posted
But game4game also says that the price could change, cause they don´t have a final price yet!
a ha didnt see that , will watch a little more closely now and hope it drops in price.chrs
All UK retailers have the standard edition up for pre-order, with most of them displaying the updated cover, but none of them have either of these editions available so far...
its sure to retail here (UK) at £45 for the special and £99 for the survivor,...needless to say im getting it when it drops to around half price which it will
Special edition available here
