It’s worth a look!

Retailers have started listing a Limited Collector’s Edition of Alan Wake, possibly in advance of an official announcement later today at Microsoft’s X10 event. Both Best Buy and Wal-Mart have listings for the item, with an $80 price tag and a May 25 release date. Wal-Mart’s listing actually includes the image seen here, and details the contents of the set: a linen case “designed to resemble a hardcover book” (is this game a book or a TV show?), a 144-page book with a story written by Alan Wake and FBI dossiers included, a soundtrack disc, a token for the first DLC pack, and a disc with an Xbox Live theme and avatar.Update:

Microsoft has officially dated Alan Wake for release on May 18 and confirmed the Limited Collector’s Edition.

Killzone 2 | Collectors edition will arrive, but why bother Sony?

Feb 082009

Sony announce a while back that Killzone 2 would not be getting a collectors/limited edition. One of the biggest PS3 games of 2009 with no collectors edition. Personally I thought this was a crazy idea, I was sure many other collectors out there were just a perplexed.

But, Sony has now back tracked… and Killzone 2 will get a limited edition released in some geographical regions, mainly Europe. However, there’s a catch. The so called limited edition is my personal pet hate, a Tin box. Just a tin box… ok so it’s not going to be much more expensive than the “standard” version but it appears you do not get any other extra’s. No making of DVD, now art work, nothing.

Sorry Sony that just plain sucks! Halo Wars CE for me this month!
