Beatles Rock Band Bundle Details

April 14th, 2009 Michael Pica

Kotaku has details on the upcoming Limited Edition Premium Beatles RockBand Bundle.

Dubbed the Limited Edition Premium Bundle, it includes The Beatles: Rock Band game; a Höfner Bass controller, Beatlesque and Ludwig-branded Rock Band drums with classic pearl finish, a metal kick pedal and a vintage replica drumhead; plus a microphone with stand and, according to an email from retailer GameStop, “additional special content.”

We’re hoping that “additional special content” means “mop-top wigs”.

The Beatles: Rock Band is available September 9 for the PS3, Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii and priced at US$250.

Street Fighter IV Final North American Box Art and Details Revealed

December 22nd, 2008 Michael Pica

StageSelect has revealed the final North American Box Art details for Street Fighter IV Collector’s Edition.

Detail on what it includes:

North American deets for the long-awaited Collector’s Edition! We’re not just throwing a craptacular “behind-the-scenes” video and “art book” with less images than you can find on any website into a cheesey tin box. Instead, we’re bringing you a gorgeous package that includes:

  1. The game (duh)
  2. A limited-edition (ie., not sold anywhere else) figurine – Ryu in the PS3 box, C. Viper hotness in the 360 flavor. Decisions, decisions…
  3. Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind: a 65 minute anime movie — created by Studio 4C — that sets up the story of SFIV by explaining events post-SFII. BluRay disc in the PS3 box! The Xbox version is a 360 game disc that outputs the movie at 720P, not a DVD.
  4. A mini-strategy guide from Prima, written by the same people doing the full-on guide and illustrated by Udon Comics
  5. CD soundtrack. Rock SFIV stage chunez in your car!
  6. …Plus some secret additional downloadable content that we’re not quite ready to reveal at this point. Look for more announcements soon!

All this wrapped up nicely in a box that features Ikeno-san’s instant classic illustration of Ryu, with images of the other characters on the sides.

November 21st, 2008 Michael Pica

According to Sealed Game Hevean and elsewhere, It would seem that the Xbox 360 PAL Kollector’s Edition of MK vs DC was canceled. Despite the fact that the game has been released the Xbox 360 Kollector’s Edition in Europe mysteriously never made it to store shelves. The PS3 was actually released and there is photographic evidence as well. Both the PS3 and 360 release were originally slated to be GAME exclusive releases.
