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.
The Borderlands Game of the Year Edition is released today, Included is the game along with all of the DLC packs at a cost of about what you’d spend on just the DLC Packs alone (it’s a good game worth picking up if you haven’t already).
If you haven’t already heard though, recently added to the features included with this edition is the inclusion of the first ever playable demo of the long awaited Duke Nukem Forever.
Gearbox (Borderland’s developer) took over development of DNF from the original developer 3DRealms. A playable demo was first unveiled at the recent Penny Arcade Expo and now the Demo will be made available to those who buy the Game of the Year Edition of Borderlands.
Capcom posted up a video unboxing of the Dead Rising 2 High Stakes Edition due out next week.
Most everyone I’ve talked to who has pre-ordered this edition recently received an email from Capcom stating that it is on back-order, including myself. I wasn’t too happy with the comment on the video of “… hopefully you got your copy.” does he know something we don’t?
Amazon.com has recently changed their pre-order bonus on the Upcoming Call of Duty Black-Ops from a $20 off credit to a Limited Edition Laser Cell. This is valid for allversionsofthegame.
The first 100,000 to pre-order since the change will receive the cell, as well as a downloadable computer wallpaper version.
By comparison GameStop’s Pre-Order Bonus is a “high-altitude flight suit skin” for your Xbox Live or PS Home Avatar.
The recent rumors were true, Call of Duty Black Ops will be receiving both Hardened and Prestige Editions. In an attempt to 1up Moden Warfare too it will include a video surveillance RC car. It also looks like the game will be housed in a SteelBook case The complete package is as follows:

While those in Europe were already granted a CE release for the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, those of us in North America were left out in the cold… until now.
A Limited Edition of Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood has been announced for North America and is quite different from the CE that Europe is receiving.
Included is the typical bonus disc with behind the scenes content, an artbook, a fancy case, and the always welcome physical game map, but the real treat is the included jack-in-the-box featuring a character from the game.
The interesting thing here is that there are different jack-in-the-box characters depending on where you buy your LE. GameStop will be selling them with the Harlequin character while all other retailers will have the Doctor.
Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood Limited Edition will be released on November 16th for 360, PS3, and PC at a price of about $100.
Every major release in the Halo franchise, has had a Halo themed Limited Edition console release to celebrate it. Halo Reach will be no different with a Limited Edition of the Xbox 360 recently announced.
The Silver console will be based on the new Slim Xbox 360 design and have Halo themed graphics. In addition to a copy of the regular edition game it will also include 2 Silver controllers with graphics matching the console, a 250GB hard drive, Component Video cables, a headset and all the built in features you’d expect from a Slim 360 (such as Wi-Fi).
The console will go on sale September 14 for $399 currently only announced for the US but if past Halo consoles are any indication it will be available everywhere. Also if past LE console releases are any indication of how this one will sell, you’d be advised to buy it on release if you’re at all interested in owning one.
According to MCV 2K games is following in the footsteps of Mass Effect II and other games offering free DLC content to game purchasers in an effort to devalue used copies of the game.
2K Games have announced that a code for the PS3-exclusive downloadable mission pack The Betrayal of Jimmy will be included with every new copy of the game. Pre-owned buyers will have to buy the DLC through PSN for $9.99 (around £6.50).
The PS3 exclusive content is called The Betrayal of Jimmy set as a collection of arcade style missions where players take on the role of a Mafia enforcer.
A second DLC titled Jimmy’s Vendetta will be available for PS3, as well as Xbox 360 and PC.
