Even as a diehard video games enthusiast, I don’t typically endorse the notion of “Collector’s Editions” for any game, because what I’m usually choosing to embrace is the game itself.
Ok fine: the REAL reason is the pricepoint. Master Chief helmets are useless to me, and I stopped collecting toy guns many years ago. But when Insomniac Games announced the Resistance 2 collector’s package via the Playstation Blog this afternoon, my excitement meter got pegged.
Why? Stuff like a Bonus DVD packed with not just behind the scenes featurettes, but a good solid glimpse into the world of Resistance, including digital version of Issue 0 of the Resistance comic book, a preview into the upcoming novel by prolific fiction writer William Dietz, and a bunch more.
Throw in a thick looking hardbound book exploring fictional war torn America, and only charge an extra $20 for the whole package, and you have yourself a sale.
And yes, for the true collector, you’ll even get a Chimera Hybrid action figure made by DC Unlimited, and an in-game goodie. Plus more! (4 easy installments of 19.99! Well, at your local Gamestop, perhaps)
For the full scoop, including Open Beta details, check out the official Playstation Blog.
