Halo 4 Limited Edition Announced

343 Industries unveiled a Limited Edition for the upcoming Halo 4 to be released in North America on November 6th at $100 USD.

While not explicitly confirmed it does look like it will include a SteelBook or similar case for the game, other physical goodies include a “UNSC Infinity Briefing Packet” which includes armor schematics ship blueprints and other information., Also included are “exclusive” bonus videos including making-of content, expanded character stories as well as a 90 live-action series “Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn”.

Microsoft seems to be taking a page out of Activision’s book for most of the content included are load of bonus DLC including access to “three future competitive multiplayer map packs… available post-launch” which seems quite similar to the bonus content included with the Modern Warfare 3 Hardened Edition.

No official word yet on a European variant though if past Microsoft rreleases are any indication they will be nearly identical to the North American release.

CollectorsEdition.org Limited Edition T-Shirts

I’m going to be producing a one time run of CollectorsEdition.org t-shirts. These will come sealed with a numbered certificate. I will only be producing 50 of these shirts however we may increase that up to 100 depending on demand between now and April 20th. If you would like to buy one please post in the official t-shirt thread in the forum. Be sure to include whether you want a men’s or woman’s cut shirt, what size you would like, and if you have a number preference, what number you would like. There is no time frame or pricing yet as the planning is still very early, though it will likely be two or more months and expect the pricing to be slightly more than your typical t-shirt due to the special packaging that these will receive. I will post more details once I have them.

The design will be a metallic print on a black shirt, this may change depending on the capability of the printer.

Where did this design come from?
Back in 2008 I commissioned a graphics designer acquaintance of mine to develop a new logo for the site, he came up with 3 concepts. The logo you see on the shirt above was one of them. I liked this better than the other logos although it didn’t work well with the layout and color style of the site. I decided that I would hold on to the design anyway and use it for a t-shirt some time later. As time went on the idea of making it a limited run grew in my mind. Here we area nearly 4 years later and now feels like the right time.

Framed and signed “Ultimate” Collector’s Edition of Agarest: Generations of War Zero

Yesterday I received word from Ghostlight that they’re offering a extremely limited version of the Agarest: Generations of War Zero Collector’s Edition.

After some interest was shown both on Twitter and in the comments section of the Blog in purchasing one of these, we’ve been looking into ways of turning this into a very special, very exclusive collector’s item for fans of this great game.  After some careful thought we believe we now have something we can offer you.

We will be making a very limited run of 15 of these superb Ultimate Collector’s Editions available, priced at £499 (not including shipping or insurance).  The frames themselves will be handmade and the package will then be personally signed and authenticated by Mr. Hirano (Art lead) and Mr. Sugano (Producer/Director) from Idea Factory.  All of Ghostlight’s profits from the sales of the Ultimate Collector’s Edition will be going to the Japan Tsunami Appeal.  So, not only will you be getting a wonderful collector’s item, but you’ll be supporting a fantastic cause as well.

We will be offering shipping throughout the PAL region on these items.

Details of how to order have yet to be announced and despite the heavy price tag profits are going towards support for the Japan Tsumani Appeal, so it’s for a good cause. We’ll post more information when we know more.
