Not long ago Warner Bros announced a New Mortal Kombat game by a whole new developer (don’t worry, Ed Boon is still part of the team). Earlier today they announced that not only will there be a “Kollector’s Edition” like past MK release but a very limited “Tournament Edition” as well.
The Kollector’s Edition is stated to include both Sub-Zero and Scorpion figurines, as well as an Art Book and DLC Content codes for “Klassic” costumes and avatar outfit.
The Tournament Edition is stated to include a portable fight stick as well as the DLC content codes from the Kollector’s Edition. The Tournament Edition is also said to be limited to 20,000 units in North America
In addition to the two editions there are 3 different pre-order bonuses available depending on where you pre-order.
GameStop will provide a code that unlocks a classic Scorpion costume as well as an additional “classic” fatality for Scorpion.
BestBuy will provide a code that unlocks a classic Sub-Zero costume as well as an additional “classic” fatality for Sub-Zero.
Amazon.com will provide a code that unlocks a classic Reptile costume as well as an additional “classic” fatality for Reptile.
Pre-order bonuses will be available for all editions of the game (including the regular edition). No word on pricing for either of the CEs. Mortal Kombat will be released in April 2011 for Xbox 360 and PS3.
UPDATE: According to BestBuy’s website the game will be released on the 19th of April. Also, according to GameStop The Kollector’s Edition will run you $99 while the Tournament Edition will fetch $149.

Square Enix has recently unveiled an “Augmented Edition” of the upcoming Eidos game Deus Ex Human Revolution.
For $10 over the regular edition this includes a 40-page artbook, a bonus DVD with behind-the-scenes footage and something called a “motion graphic novel”. The packaging looks decent, but we’ll see for sure once it’s released. Release date is March 3rd 2011 on PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. Currently this is US only but I wouldn’t be surprised this makes its way to Europe in some form as well.

While both the Japan and Europe were blessed with a 25th Anniversary Edition of Super Mario All-Stars for Wii, North America was left sitting on our hands. No more, Nintendo has seen fit to bless us with the commemorative release as well.
Similar to the releases in Europe and Asia the collection includes a Wii game disc with an enhanced version of the SNES release of Super Mario All-Stars in a swanky red art-box. Not included is the history DVD but instead the North American releases will receive a 32-page booklet covering Mario’s history featuring interviews, behind-the-scenes details and concept art.
Also included, is a Soundtrack CD that contains music from the various installments of the Mario franchise as well as sound effects from the original Super Mario Bros. up through Super Mario Galaxy 2
The package will release on December 12th at a price of about $30
I can’t help but feel that Nintendo of America was too afraid that Americans wouldn’t be able to figure out that their Wii can’t play DVDs and opted to go with the Booklet instead. Either way for $30 it’s a must buy for Wii collectors and Mario fans.

The two editions are as follows
Killzone 3 Collector’s Edition:
- Steelbook Packaging
- “Blood and Thunder” DLC map pack
Killzone 3 Helghast Edition:
- Authentic Replica of Helghast Helmet/mask and Stand
- Exclusive DC Unlimited Helghast Figurine

- Killzone Collectors Edition Steelbook with PSN voucher that offers:
- “Blood and Thunder” DLC Map Pack
- Dynamic PS3 Theme
- Killzone 3 Soundtrack
- All pre-order items (TBC)

The Helghast Edition seems like the one to get, though the SteelBook packaging for the Collector’s Edition is sure to please some. No idea what these will actually look like or how much they’ll cost. As always we’ll post more details if we get them.

A few days ago Amazon.com let slip a listing for Collector’s Edition of Dead Space 2. Someone on N4G downloaded the product image before Amazon pulled the listing. Thankfully this is one “rumor” that has been confirmed, as EA has recently announced the Collector’s Edition, at least they have for Europe.
The CE announced for Europe looks identical to the one pulled from the US Amazon store so it’s safe to assume they carry the same stuff. But while the CE will be available for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 the content in the PS3 version is different.
All 3 versions will get the following:
- Exclusive DLC code for in-game Unitology Suit and Force Gun
- Dead Space 2 Original Soundtrack on CD with an hour of music compiled from the game’s score.
- Concept art lithograph depicting Necromorph transformation by Visceral Games artist Brett Marting.
However The Xbox 360 and PC versions will also be getting this:
- Replica of Isaac’s Plasma Cutter, modeled from the new design from Dead Space 2.
To make up for the lack of replica plasma cutter the PS3 version will be receiving
- the same HD and move enabled re-release of Dead Space Extraction as the PS3 Limited Edition
- a DLC code for an in-game Rivit Gun
Personally I’d rather have the replica plasma cutter but the PS3 people will be getting 2 games for the price of one.

Like most games with a boat-load of post-release content Grand Theft Auto IV is finally getting theirs. Amazon listed “The Complete Edition” for both Xbox 360 and PS3 due out on the 26th of this month. The Complete Edition is basically the main game along with with both “Episodes from Liberty City”: the Lost and Damned and the Ballad of Gay Tony, all wrapped up in one package for $40.
This might not be so appealing to those who’ve already purchased the game and both episodes but for anyone who slept on GTAIV now is a good time to pick the whole thing up at a very good price.

Every cloud has it’s silver lining and when SOE recently announced that DC Universe was going to be pushed back from it’s original release date in November to sometime next year they also snuck in another announcement concerning the games release on PS3.
…due to overwhelming demand from the community, SOE is pleased to announce that a Collector’s Edition for the PlayStation 3 will also be released (North America only), which includes the same items contained in the PC version announced earlier this year – the DCUO Batman statue, the limited edition Art of DC Universe Online art book, the DCUO Legends Issue #0 comic book with a Jim Lee variant cover, the DCUO Prestige comic presentation of the DCUO back-story and the limited edition Jim Lee-drawn poster Version of the Legends Issue #0 comic book variant cover.
Previously the Collector’s Edition release of DCUO was PC only, but now those PS3 gamers can get it as well, which is a good thing because it looks like a nice release.
A price point hasn’t been set but given that the PC CE is just shy of $100 I’d be willing to bet the PS3 CE will be $110.
