Underwhelmed by the Dead Space 2 LE's replica cutter?

The Plasma Cutter replica included with the collector's edition of Dead Space 2 is nice and all, but it doesn't have that overboard extravagance that some people want from their video game memorabilia. Now, these full-size replicas being released next month -- there's some real, substantial money-wastin'.

The $220 replica of the Plasma Cutter from the first Dead Space, and the $240 Dead Space 2 version, are packaged in metal briefcase-style carriers, and have rechargeable batteries to power the realistic "3-blast spot" lighting. The only thing they lack is real cutting power -- which is a shame, because at these prices, you're going to wish for real life-or-death monster battles to justify the cost.

Holy crap, I have to admit, they look real nice but a little expensive for me.

Any idea on numbers.

[Mandingo]

Sorry, the article didn't make mention of specific numbers.

That replica gun is very tempting...

Currently HMV are the cheapest at £17.99 but can also be purchased from Amazon or Play.com for £22.99. The latter two will likley lower the price closer to launch.

Good news for PAL fand of Ar Tonelico Qoga, we don't get the Limited edition set like NTSC region. However pre-order bonuses are on the way.

If you pre-order the game at GAME.co.uk or Gamestation you get the same Art book as the one in the NTSC limited edition. priced at £34.99.




---------------------------------

If you pre-order the game from Play.com you get a soundtrack, however it costs £39.99.




---------------------------------
Now the Super deal I think most people will go for. If you pre-order from Gameplay ( Part of the Game store group). You get both the Artbook and Soundtrack CD. What's more it's just £29.99.




-------------

For Australia ebgames.com.au have the Artbook as a pre-order bonus. The price is $68 AUD.





-----------
If anyone knows if their country is getting a pre-order bonus release aswell please let us know here.

Also before anyone asks why I bothered putting the other pre-order bonuses that are more expensive and only have either the Artbook and CD. It's because some members have vouchers they may wish to use at certain stores.

I see most going with the Gameplay website.
