Must have for me!
This Edition better come to the PAL region. can't wait for this one, it sounds very interesting.
Ugh. Sounds like another retardedly expensive import for me...
Oh, I somehow missed this version. I will still opt for the Helghast edition, though.
The Killzone 3 Collector’s Edition comes in a SteelBook case and includes a DLC code for a map pack.... View this article on the HomePage.
So I guess this has been confirmed for a UK / European release?
Any ideas whether this will be a store exclusive in the UK? (Ie, HMV or GAME), or whether it will be openly available from all major retailers?
HMV in the UK have listed this edition for, wait for it ....................... £123.33

Wow - Yet again Euro get screwed.
This is exclusive to HMV so no compitition to bring down the price.
Killzone 3: Helghast Special Edition Pack
Authentic Helghast Helmet replica opens to reveal art book, Super Voucher and Killzone 3 game.

Includes bonus video content giving you a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the game.
Exclusive art book featuring imagery from the Killzone universe

Killzone 3 soundtrack and PS3 Dynamic Theme
Retro Map Pack featuring two of the most popular multiplayer maps from Killzone 2

Full access to all weapons and abilities during the first 24 hours of multiplayer gameplay
Hopefully the price falls quickly like with GT5 Signature Edition.
The last HMV exclusive was MW 2 prestige edition and that never dropped from what I saw. Even after the hype it goes for more than rrp on eBay. It's annoying as of late a lot of CE's are costing far to much.
I guess it depends on how many them make, They should have learned from the last Killzone Collector's Edition that over producing is a waste if time.
That is what I call a special edition. Just too bad that HMV doesn't ship to Croatia.
That steelbook case is nice.
It's £112.33 as of 8th January 2011. Slowly dropping in price, although anything over £100 for something like this is pure greed.
Looks like it was a mis -price, but still £112 is still too much compared to the the US version, the Steelbook can't be that much more.
So is anyone buying this day one, or will everyone just wait?
I'm going to pre-order from a HMV store just in case, that way I can return it or not bother collecting it on the day of release if its not sold out.
I will be preordering it, now all I need is for dead space 2 collector edt to get a last minute uk release and I will be a happy bunny who doesn't have to rely on eBay
I have placed an order for it as well just in case. Don't want to miss out on this one as I did with the Killzone 2 steelbook.
I have to say that this store exclusive bollocks needs to stop. People don't have any chance to shop around and HMV seem to be charging a little too much in my opinion, so we have little option but to order from the crooks.
