Forza Motorsport 3 Limited Collector’s Edition Details Unveiled

Kotaku is reporting on recently released details about the upcoming Limited Collector’s Edition of Forza Motorsport 3:

Forza 3 will cost you $60. But the Forza 3 Limited Edition will cost you $80. What’s jacking the price up by $20 get you? It doesn’t look like it gets you much at all.

Those parting with the extra cash will receive:

• a 2GB USB drive and a keychain, both “specially branded” (ie they’ve got the Forza logo on them)
• “Forza Motorsport VIP Membership”, which will “entitle gamers to special treatment at the game’s auction house, community storefront, and on the game’s official forums.”
• 5 cars, “available only through your VIP membership”
• “Exclusive Collector’s Edition Car Pack”, which is five cars that have been “hand tuned and hand painted by the developers at Turn 10”
• A Forza 3 dashboard theme.

So a couple of cheap trinkets, vague community perks and some in-game cars is worth $20 now? What a world we live in.

So far it has only been reported for North America and looking at the listing on GameStop’s website they seem to be claiming that they will be the exclusive re-seller for this edition. Also interesting is that they will have a pre-order bonus of an additional downloadable car, the Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro. For both brick & mortar and online shoppers pre-ordering any edition of the game.

As of now the game is priced at about $80 and scheduled for released October 27th this year. While Kotaku doesn’t seem to happy with the package’s contence  I for one will be pleased as long as the case is of high quality, additional in-game content is always a sweet addition to any CE. I’m just happy that they’re going to give the US a Forza CE this time around since we all had to import it last time.

Modern Warfare 2 to get Collector’s Edition

Mysteriously vague listings have popped up for a Collector’s Edition release of the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Gamestop.com lists the CE version for Xbox 360, Playstation3, and PC while Amazon currently has a listing for just the Xbox 360. These all have a release date of November 10th this year and a price tag of about $80.

Here’s hoping this time around the CE packaging of a COD game will live up to the stardard of quality as the game itself, I’m not holding my breath though.

Rumor: Arkham Asylum Could Be Delayed

Game Informer reported yesterday on a rumor from “sources close to the game” that Batman: Arkham Asylum could be pushed back form June until sometime in holiday season.

No official word yet (which is odd) Some speculate that the delay is due to Square Enix’s recent acquisition of Eidos.

BlazBlue Limited Edition Details

Recently announced is the Limited Edition of BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger. This edition comes in a cardboard box containing the standard edition game disc as well as a 2 disc 42-song soundtrack and a bonus dvd with tutorials and walk-throughs from experts from dustloop.com and shoryuken.com.

Slated to ship on June 30th at the same price as the regular edition: $59.99.  That’s because this LE is a “First Run” release, All currently pre-ordered copies have been automatically upgraded to the LE and once the initial quantity is gone only regular editions will be made.

Also those who pre-order though gamestop.com (online store only) will receive a 32 page art book in addition to the game.
