Splinter Cell Conviction Gets Collector’s Edition, No Night Vision

Ubisoft is unfortunately foregoing offering replica Sam Fisher night-vision goggles for the collector’s edition of Xbox 360 exclusive. Splinter Cell Conviction attempts to make up for it elsewhere. Does it succeed?

For $US79.99 the “limited run” version of Ubisoft Montreal’s stealth action game — still due February 23 — packs in the requisite art book, “collectible” decals, an embossed Steelbook DVD case, one Splinter Cell comic book and a pair of in-game items.

Also included is a USB drive “loaded to the max” with collector’s edition exclusive content. On top of that, you’ll get a game disc and manual. Those two alone are worth $US59.99 at least!

For the full description, straight from Ubi, read on. It’s all them from here on out.
