Modern Warfar 2 Veteran Edition for the US?

I recently received a link from Scott Williams showing that Barns & Nobel has a listing for a “Veteran Statue Bundle” of Modern Warfare 2.

Previously it was thought that the “Veteran Edition” of Modern Warfare 2 was exclusive to the UK. It’s unclear if this listing is for a North American version of that edition or if they’re simply selling the Game and the Limited Edition Statue as a package deal.

B&N lists the bundle for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC.

Most interestingly is that it lists the seller as  “GameStop” implying that they are selling through the Barns & Noble website, yet there is no mention of this bundle on GameStop’s own website.

If anyone has any addition info on this release please leave a comment.

Pictures and Final Details of Batman Arkham Asylum.

I’ve been reading a lot of SpeedHunter’s lately, also Kotaku has quickly become my favorite resource for gaming news. I really like the photo-blog style of Speed Hunters and the down to earth commentary on Kotaku. With that in mind I decided to add a little more flare here and there to the photos for this release and I’ve added a bit of personal commentary.

I’d appreciate some feedback as to whether this is something you’d like to see more of in the future or if you’d prefer the more no-nonsense approach that I’ve taken in the past.
