Soul Calibur 5 Collectors Edition revealed

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Received my Soul Calibur V CE this morning, wrapped in that horrid double-sided white bubblewrap. Needless to say, it arrived with bashed up corners, so this one is going back for a replacement for sure!

It's actualy quite a nice CE though, and for anyone who already has the Fable III CE it's not unfamiliar. It's practically the same thing, albeit without the leather buckle. You can clearly see where Namco Bandai got their inspiration from!

I'm not entirely sure what relevance a book has with a fighting game though. It's nice, but it doesn't quite fit in with the style of the game. I also feel that these kind of CE's are often ruined by the fact that they usually contain the standard plastic Amaray case inside


One other thing I did notice is that there appears to be a sticker over the rating, just above the barcode. I wonder what kind of mis-print is underneath to warrant requiring an additional sticker?

The book fits in fine. The series is all about 'A tale of soul and swords'. A book tends to show during the campaign modes. It did in Soul Blade and a couple of the Caliburs, anyway. Maybe skipped one though.
