I wasn’t surprised when I saw an email from EA in my inbox this morning, Crysis 2 was due to ship today and I ordered the Nano Edition from the online store. Unfortunately I discovered that rather than a shipping confirmation it was a notification that the game had been delayed due to manufacturing issues.
Thank you for purchasing the Crysis 2 Nano Edition. Unfortunately, manufacturing issues have caused a delay in delivery on this item. We do expect your copy of the Crysis 2 Nano Edition to ship soon, and will notify you once it has shipped.
We understand the impact this has on you, and to help compensate for the inconvenience we are providing you with a coupon good for 75% off your next purchase* at the EA STORE (http://eastore.ea.com): *********
Thank you for your patience. If you have any questions, you can contact our Customer Service department at http://support.ea.com.
*Coupon expires May 31, 2011. Discount is valid on one copy of one product from the EA STORE at www.eastore.ea.com only. Value of discount will be deducted from product list price at time of purchase. Valid only in U.S. and Canada. Cannot be combined with any other offer, Gift Card, rebate or other discount coupons. Limit one offer per person. Subject to availability. Customers are responsible for shipping, handling and applicable sales tax. Offer may not be substituted, exchanged, sold or redeemed for cash or other goods or services. Void where prohibited, taxed or restricted by law.
No word yet as to how long the delay is, though I would suspect it would be short considering they waited until the 11th hour to let people know (which I assume means they thought they might make it in time). Either way the offered 75% off from the EA store is a HUGE discount which, at least in my opinion, makes a good mea culpa.

There will be only some digital bonus for this game, sadly no true collectors edition.
Newspost from Rockstar at PAX Link
There won’t be any special edition release of L.A. Noire, just the preorder bonus content with certain retailers as announced here:
Preorder Link
Also as mentioned, all that content will be made available as DLC after the game comes out.

Game.co.uk have listed Mortal Kombat Kollector’s Edition for PS3 and Xbox 360 for pre-order, the price is £69.99.
Pre-order here
One thing to note is that there is no Steelbook as original though, what it does it includes is:-
- Kollectible figurine of Scorpion and Sub-Zero: Hand sculpted with high level of detail
- The Art of Mortal Kombat: A 110+ page book featuring original concept sketches and game art from the 2011 version of Mortal Kombat.
- Retro-Ninja costume: Exclusive alternate in-game costume inspired by the original character design of Ermac.
- Avatar costumes: Mortal Kombat inspired costumes to decorate your avatar on PSN.

However for those in France, Micromania have listed it with the Steelbook included inside. What’s more if you pre-order you will get a code via E-mail for Scorpion, it will give a costume and the original fatality “Fire-Breathing Toasty”. You will also receive a free Mortal Kombat T-shirt.
Pre-order from Micromania.fe here
FNAC also have it listed but without the pre-order bonus and more importantly no steel book.
Other countries pre-orders are going live soon, so be on the lookout.

The F.3.A.R. Collector’s Edition was already announced on January 13, but it’s still not available for pre-order in Europe and the United States.
For that reason alone I think this is worth a news post because EBgames.com.au have now listed this great Collector’s Edition for pre-order.
To everyone outside Australia I think it is safe to say that now the time has come to keep eyes open and ears tuned because this Edition will be available for pre-order soon!

- F.3.A.R Game
- Exclusive SteelBook Packaging
