Killer Instinct

[Twisted]

I just talked to someone on the chat box on the Microsoft website where they sell this game and he said that black box art is not final..lol..and the cover art has not been released yet..but I don't believe him..i think he is just speculating because I asked if that is the boxart or not?

here's the official MS announcement on this edition: http://playxbla.com/killer-instinct-...ven-pre-order/

more (useful) info on this has been posted on Penny Arcade: http://www.penny-arcade.com/2013/10/14/pin-ultimate

also the edition name "Pin Ultimate" is a pun on the word "Penultimate"

the most up to date info seems to be going on in this thread on the PA forum: http://forums.penny-arcade.com/discu...ity-thread/p28

thank you for the updated info twisted S....so there is NO standard xbox one game case?..i thought it would be housed in a standard case..so it is a book instead?....msn store chat mislead me..they specifically told me it was to be a standard G2 style plastic gamecase....this article mentions nothing like that..i am confused about what this product will end up looking like.

Based on what was Posted on PA this is the impression I get

-There are no plans to release the game in disc format
-Because there is no physical release they wanted to make a CE for collectors that could fit on a shelf next to other games (so likely G2 sized)
-The case is designed to look like a book so chances are it will be made of heavy cardboard (similar to a hard cover book)


Honestly it damn well better be something other than a cheap plastic case for the prices it's going for.

At first I thought this edition was pretty lame, but after reading the PA post about how they want to essentially have a physical display of achievements, I'm super psyched for it now, as well as the challenge of collecting all of the pins.

this following message was e-mailed to me by penny arcade ..... It's my understanding that it will be about the size of a hard cover book. So it will be taller and wider than a standard game case. This is so that it can comfortably fit 16 pins inside. Mike wrote a bit about it here if your interested in the details. I also spoke directly with Brian our merch manager who is managing this project on our end to confirm those details.
