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.
