And at $US99.99 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, $US89.99 for Games for Windows LIVE, it’s no small dent in the wallet. But the lovely package you see above comes with all these wonderful things. Even a copy of BioShock 2 itself, if you can believe it!
- BioShock 2
- Vinyl 180g LP featuring the orchestral score from the original BioShock
- CD containing the BioShock 2 orchestral score
- A 164 page 8-inch x 11-inch hardbound artbook chock full of developer commentary
- Three posters featuring vintage ads from Rapture (rolled)
It will ship the same day — February 9, 2010—as the common version of BioShock 2. And 2K Games’ Cult of Rapture site says the package is “limited to a single production run” if that lights a fire under your pre-ordering habit.

No way in HELL I’m paying that much.

Actually, the one recent special edition that worked for me was ODST – since I needed another controller and I use it often.
A further aside – I’m waiting for the special edition of a game that actually doesn’t contain the game. It’ll happen.

On-topic, the special edition looks pretty cool, but it’s not for me. Especially if I’d have to buy it from EB. >_>
HotDamn!

Friday, November 20, 2009 at 10:22 PM$150? Are you kidding!
That’s a joke when the Bioshock CE was far better and was only $89 on release day when I bought mine from GAME..
That looks okay but is only worth about $109-$119 maximum..
