The news page here on CollectorsEdition.org hasn’t seen much action in a while, but I received a phone call from one of the first industry contacts I made through this site. He was reminded of, and wanted to tell me, a little story that I’m sure most collectors will find interesting. You see Dave used to work for Scanavo; the company that manufactures SteelBooks; he recalled a story about when they were working on the first SteelBook to be released for the Wii: Cursed Mountain Limited Edition.

Nothing official yet, but a Swiss shop (Wog.ch) just listed a Collector’s Edition for the upcoming and much-anticipated game Watch Dogs from Ubisoft. According to their listing the Collector’s Edition of Watch Dogs includes the following:
- Silver-, Gold- & Platinum-DLC
- Aiden Figurine
- Original Soundtrack
- Artbook
- Steelbook
- Interactive Map of Chicago
- 3 Faction Badges
- 4 Augmented Reality Cards
The game will be released in November 2013 and prices start at 129 CHF (~ €105 EUR/$137 USD) for the PC Version and goes up to 149 CHF (~ €121 EUR/$158 USD) for consoles. So far the website only listed it for current consoles even though it’s already confirmed to be on next gen.
There has as yet been no confirmation from Ubisoft and there are also no pictures released from what exactly we can expect. As soon as we know more we will let you know!
Thanks to our ce.o member Mathika for the heads up!

Today Nintendo has announced that Lego City Undercover, which is exclusive to the Wii U console, will be released in EU territories on 28 March 2013 and in the US on 26 March 2013.
As you explore, you can use the Wii U GamePad as a communicator to talk to others, to scan your surroundings for clues or criminals, or to view the handy map and GPS route when driving around the city.
LEGO City Undercover will also be available in a Limited-Edition software bundle that includes a Minifigure of Chase McCain, Lego City Undercover’s main playable character.
Some stores are already offering the Lego Figure as a pre-order bonus but this one will be wrapped up in a proper box.
Unfortunately, it’s not up for pre-order yet but I am sure most major retailers will have it in stock soon.
Update: It’s now available for pre-order in the UK at Amazon
Thanks to ingmar1988 for the heads up!

Futureshop in Canada seems to be getting lots and lots of exclusive SteelBooks recently. The latest of which is a SteelBook that is included along side pre-orders of Zelda Skyward Sword for the Wii.
This is a G1 sized case and apparently it will ONLY be included with pre-orders placed between October 26th and November 20th. Also it seems that it’s only included with the standard edition of the game not the Limited Edition bundle with the Gold Wii Remote.
Sadly Futureshop does not ship outside of Canada, which is a shame as this would make an excellent addition to any Zelda fan’s collection.

The first is a Limited Edition exclusive to Ebgames in Australia, it will contain the following:

For Europe, Sega will be releasing a Special Edition which contains a standard copy of the game and comes with a Metal Steel Tin, similar to Super Mario Galaxy 2. Certain retailers will have this edition in each country so be on the look out. Amazon UK has this listed already and can be pre-ordered here
Lastly is the release of a Limited Edition Wii console, it will contain a console and Wii mote in Sonic blue, although I don’t see the resemblance in the colour myself. It also contains a pack of Mario and Sonic sticker. With the release of Wii-U around the corner this is more than likely the last of the true limited edition Wii consoles.
UK pre-orders are open but expect this to be Europe and Australian wide, no word on a North American release yet.
Pre-order for £135 from GAME UK here
