Mass Effect 2 Collector's Edition unsurprisingly announced

No suprises here, but EA has confirmed that Mass Effect 2 will also be released as a Collectors’ Edition in limited quantities.

Available on January 29 in Europe alongside the standard edition, the Collectors’ Edition comes in a premium, tin case and includes the full version of the game, a 48-page hardcover “Art of Mass Effect 2” book, Issue 1 of the Mass Effect Redemption comic book, and a bonus DVD with behind-the-scenes and making-of videos. In addition, the Mass Effect 2 Collectors’ Edition will include unique in-game weapons and armour that can only be obtained by purchasing this version.

We're not sure of the U.K. price as yet, but the Mass Effect 2 Collectors’ Edition will retail in North America at an MSRP of $69.99 on Xbox 360 and $59.99 on PC.

The announcement of a Collector's Edition follows news last month that BioWare is releasing unique Mass Effect 2 pre-order incentives at key retailers in North America and across Europe. Codes for downloading these items will be provided to players who have pre-ordered, usable when the game is released. Pre-order bonuses include special-ops armor and weaponry that are designed to boost Commander Shepard’s skills and abilities.

I've never been too bothered with this sort of collectors edition tat (artbooks, statuettes, etc.) but I don't mind preordering a game if it'll get me something of interest within the game itself.

Obviously I'll only do it if I was planning to get the game in the first place though.

I liked the Art of Mass Effect, so its a pretty good deal for me.

I still don't agree with the disabling of content unless you buy all 4 or so “special editions” of the game (this one + the pre-order ones, like mentioned in the other thread I linked)… I really hope this gets fan-patched, it's just not on.

So promo physical items are ok, DLC you buy after a release is ok, but DLC you get as promo isn't?

I am against major items or game changers not being available to all. However some promo suits that look no-unlike Megatron or Iron Man can't really harm can they?

It's not like they are saying, pre-order in order to get the end or buy the special edition so your Sheperd doesn't die.
