Unboxed: Rez Kanzentousui Set

I wrote this a few months back but never got around to publishing it for whatever reason, now is a as good a time as any though…

Those of you who know me personally know that the Sega Dreamcast is my favorite classic console, and that the PS2 is one of my least favorite consoles (due to it’s role in killing off my beloved Dreamcast). You might also know that most of my CEs are for the Xbox and Xbox 360 and I almost never buy anything outside of the NTSC region, especially not if the release isn’t in English. So how is it that one of my newest and most cherished acquisitions is a PS2 title from Japan? One word: “Rez”.

Planned Blackout on January 18th

CollectorsEdition.org will be joining with thousands of other websites in a blackout protest on January 18th from 8AM to 8PM (-5 GMT)

We’re doing this to alert our visitors as to the very real potential dangers of two bills that are being discussed in the US Congress right now, the “Stop Online Piracy Act” (SOPA) and the “Protect IP Act” (PIPA). While these bills have noble goals of protecting copyright holders they are far too broad and threaten the very nature of the internet. At their core they would allow US media companies the ability to black list any website they feel infringes on their property, and do so without any due process.

Should either of these bills pass it will effect the internet freedoms not just of those in the USA but the world as a whole.

Collector’sEdition.org will be closed to show you what could potentially be a permanent reality for nearly any website that allows user posted content.

There is a lot you can do to help stop this, even if you’re not a citizen of the USA…

Ninja Gaiden 3 Collector’s Edition unmasked

Lots of you wrote in to tell us about the recently revealed Collector’s Edition of the Upcoming Ninja Gaiden 3.

Fans of Dead or Alive will also be happy to see the inclusion of a voucher for a special version of the Dead or Alive 5 demo which includes 4 playable fighters (as opposed other versions of the demo which only include 2 fighters).

Scheduled for release on Xbox 360 and PS3 March 20th in North America and March 23rd in Europe. No official pricing has been announced and it doesn’t seem to be available for pre-order anywhere yet but it’s rumored to be priced around $100 USD.

Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition is a Kick in the Balls for Collectors

As is the trend with most modern games with a lot of DLC content WB recently announced a “Komplete” Edition for the 2009 franchise reboot: Mortal Kombat. Unlike most complete editions this one doesn’t just bundle the DLC along with the original game, also included are all 15 classic costumes that were originally only offered as pre-order intensives (1 per store at that) or bundled with either of the very expensive CEs that released along side the standard edition. Also included is a 15 track soundtrack as well as a copy of the 1995 film of the same name, making it much more content rich than either of the CEs that were previously released

Due out on February 28th in North America and March 2nd in Europe, on both Xbox 360 and PS3 no price has been announced yet.
