January 29th, 2014 Ayiu

Update:
Bethesda has officially announced the Imperial Edition for The Elder Scrolls Online. The Imperial Edition will be available for PC, PS4 and Xbox One in extremely limited quantity  through participating retailers for $99.99 (€99.99 EUR/£89.99 GBP/$ 139.95 AUD). The Elder Scrolls Online releases on PC/Mac worldwide on Friday, April 4th and on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in June. Read the press release here.

Original Story:
Bethesda has yet to officially announce a collector’s edition for The Elder Scrolls Online but a user on the Amazon video games forum spotted a very peculiar image attached to the Dishonored GOTY store listing. The image shows a collector’s edition called Imperial Edition for the highly anticipated MMO, The Elder Scrolls Online. This was obviously a mistake and the photos have now been taken down but the image appears real enough.

The image features the following content for the Imperial Edition of The Elder Scrolls Online:

  • Physical Content
    • Collector’s Edition Box
    • Steelbook Packaging
    • Molag Bal Statue – A collectible 12″ statue featuring Molag Bal, Daedric Prince of domination and enslavement
    • Map of Tamriel – A printed map detailing alliance-controlled zones and the ultimate conquest: Cyrodiil
    • Emperor’s Guide to Tamriel – A 224-page illustrated guide annotated by the Imperial scholar, Flaccus Terentius
  • Digital Content

    • Play as an Imperial for any alliance – Appears to be the only way to play as an imperial
    • White Imperial Horse
    • Mudcrab vanity Pet
    • Rings of Mara

Assassins Creed III SteelBook and First Edition Rumor

March 7th, 2012 Michael Pica

I went to pickup my Mass Effect 3 Collector’s Edition yesterday and to my surprise GameStop was giving away sealed G1 sized SteelBook cases with pre-orders for Assassin’s Creed III on 360, PS3, and PC. The deal doesn’t seem to be specific to GameStop as Amazon.com is also offering SteelBooks as a pre-order bonus. The Clerk also seemed to think that there was going to be a First Edition upgrade announced soon, similar to the Signature Edition for AC Revelations.

Aliens: Colonial Marines Collector’s Edition Details Leaked

January 9th, 2012 Michael Pica

Thank you to everyone who wrote in to tell us about the leaked Collector’s Edition of Aliens: Colonial Marines. French Gaming site Gamekyo broke the announcement.

Aliens Colonial Marines Collector's Edition Xbox 360

The graphic above clearly shows that the CE will come in a nice looking display box along with a statue of the iconic power loader along with some in-game content. It’s unclear which region the CE is slated for, though considering the game has already been released in North America (correction: it was scheduled for release in November but pushed back) and the leak occurred in France I would venture a guess that this will be at very least a UK release, possibly all of Europe. I would suspect we will get more details including pricing once it gets closer to the ambiguous “Spring 2012” release date.

Help Design the CE for Borderlands 2

September 8th, 2011 Michael Pica

Apparently GearBox is planning to offer a Collector’s Edition for their upcoming game Borderlands 2 (due out sometime in 2012). Not only are they planning to offer a CE they’ve asked the community to help them decide what to include!

You can send them your ideas on the official GearBox forum.

Me personally I told them I don’t care what they include for bonuses as long as the packaging is high quality. I figure I spend more time looking at it sitting on the shelf than anything else, so it might as well be worth looking at.

… although an RC claptrap would be pretty cool…

Rumor: Call of Duty – Modern Warfare Collection

August 19th, 2011 Ayiu

Tweeted by French site Gameinmotion, are supporting pictures of what may exist in the near future as a compilation for the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare trilogy.

Based on the title of the package and interior of the steelbook case, it will most likely be packaged with the 3 Modern Warfare games in the series. As this is not (yet) announced officially by Activision, it can be treated as a rumor with a good possibility of coming true.

Obviously there are no official details released for this and it can only be assumed that these will be released for the console (Xbox360 & PS3) and PC platforms. And there’s a good chance this will be a worldwide release also.

But for now, just drool all over these glorious pictures:

Shiny Steelbook with embossed ‘Call of Duty’ title

Pictures indicate this will house Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2 & Modern Warfare 3 games

2011 prints can be found inside the cover*

*[Note: Although a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Collection is already in existence, that particular package contains two CoD: MW games in two separate standard game cases released in 2010. This ‘2011’ edition will be packaged in one steelbook case instead.]

All credits go to Matrix6 for writing and pointing out!

*UPDATE* 8/20/2011
mackalaway, who works for  Micromania in France, provided some additional deatils. This is an official SteelBook case and it will be sold as just a stand-alone case by Micromania at a price of 9.99 €.

Mario All-Stars may get a reprint

January 8th, 2011 Michael Pica

If you haven’t noticed the 25th Anniversary Limited Edition of Super Mario All-Stars sold-out almost as soon as it hit store shelves. The edition that originally fetched $30 new is currently going for around $80 on the 2nd hand market. If you’re a collector and you didn’t pick one up, well it seems you made a mistake.

There is some hope though Wired.com is reporting that due to the overwhelming demand that Nintendo is considering a reprint of sorts. No word on whether they’re simply going to print more of the 25th Anniversary Edition or produce a different release altogether.

Nintendo public relations director Marc Franklin told Wired.com via email on Friday: “We are gratified by the consumer response to this limited-edition product, which we created to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the original Super Mario Bros. game on NES, because of the strong response, we are exploring the option of bringing this item back at a later date. … Until that decision is made, consumers should check with retailers, as supplies will vary by store.”
