The Dead Rising 2 Outbreak Edition can be found shambling around EB Games, GAME and JB Hi-Fi and will chainsaw-rake $169.95 RRP from your wallet.
It contains:
* Detailed 12-inch zombie figurine complete with interchangeable heads
* Dead Rising 2 game
* A making of the game DVD
* A “Sports Fan Theme Pack” including exclusive skills and a unique costume, pictured below
* Tape It Or Die catalogue detailing how to make your own zombie-destroying weapons
Plus, there’s a couple of console-specific extras:
* PS3 owners get a unique PS3 Dynamic Theme
* Xbox 360 owners get the Dead Rising Sun full-length movie directed by Keiji Inafune
Be warned, Capcom has advised that only 700 of each format will be available in Australia. So I would imagine that means you’ll need to preorder to get hold of one.
Speaking of preorders, GAME is advertising a separate preorder bonus which includes a totally different zombie figurine. This one stands a mere 9.5cm tall and is wearing a tasteful Hawaiian shirt.
EB has its own preorder bonus – a ninja costume! It’s available for both PS3 and Xbox 360, but not PC. JB has yet to reveal any preorder details.
Standard question, then: who’s getting what and from where?

Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 9:06 AMfor the next few months, l’ll be getting this game, and every new game from fantasy land.
It’s a great new store, just for people who have to spend $400 on uni books.

Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 10:19 AMYay, I get to shop there next week. How exciting.

Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 9:13 AMThe game zombie stands on a little poker chip, which is pretty cool.

Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 9:27 AMthat it is – but it’s also quite small
Also don’t forget that the design isn’t final and could possibly look like crud… although i hope not lol

Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 10:59 AMThat Game zombie is a seperate preorder deal, not the same zombie as the outbreak edition :)

Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 9:17 AMhaha i realised shortly after i sent you emails about this that it WASN’T EB exclusive and started cursing heavily…
Kind of a bummer that no one store is offering it cheaper than another..
I REALLY want to get my hands on the outbreak edition, but it’s just so expensive… My best bet would be trade baiting my way to it, so basically buying cheap games then trading them towards the outbreak edition… although with the sales coming close to an end, this may be easier said than done.
Basically i’ve worked out that with my $20 p.w gaming allowance (ouch baby, why you gotta do me this way) it’ll take me 8 weeks to save for this – plus my beloved partner already thinks i’m an idiot if i get this because it’s “a waste of money”
grrr…

Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 9:40 AM…I suggest you grow a pair!
Chuloopa
Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 9:43 AMhahaha yeh that would be a good idea… only problem is the fear that the next pair i grow will be cut off like the last :P

Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 9:46 AMSir, my heart bleeds for you.
My GF on the other hand will have a great time making room for this on our already figure packed shelves.
Chuloopa
Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 9:52 AMoh don’t worry – i’ve already got figure packed shelves… but i’m running out of shelf space haha
in all fairness she is fairly accommodating – i just imagine that the last thing she wants our beautiful home to look like is my old bedroom :P
Plus she has her heart set on going to Bali at the end of the year, hence the monetary restriction on video games as the rest goes straight to savings.

Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 10:43 AMBut you can’t have a second playthrough of Bali without paying all over again.

Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 9:41 AMWhere is news on a PC Deluxe Edition? I want the Xbox bundle, but I want the game disc to be PC version. Let me give you money, Capcom!
Brewer74
Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 9:58 AMYea, I second that. Capcom has done some good stuff supporting PC with RES5 and SFIV both very good PC versions. I want dead rising 2 on PC, but would like a collectors edition. Hopefully they will at least provide us with something other the the vanilla version.
HotDamn!
Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 10:03 AMThe big questions is….will the game actually BE any good?
Chuloopa
Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 10:05 AMOh ye of little faith….
oggob
Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 10:26 AMSeeing as no one else is answering the question!
GAME all the way! Whilst a Ninja outfit is always cool… not 1, but a second Zombie figures, count me in!
They look forward to taking me $169 dollars! at least the rewards card makes it worth my while!

Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 10:50 AMI’ve been waiting for this game to come out ever since I finished playing the first one, september can’t come soon enough here in Canada. Woot!
Denaz
Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 11:02 AMYup outbreak from EB for me :)
The ninja costume actually has different moves when you put it on, so its not just a pointless skin :)
Chuloopa
Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 11:07 AMYeah, thats the only thing still tempting me to get it from EB… grrr
oggob
Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 11:41 AMZombie Figurine VS Ingame Ninja costume? It’s a no contest! Zombie Figurine wins in Flawless victory! Considering that the skin will probably unlock during gameplay or after a first palythrough.
Even if it’s DLC, a few more bucks to get the skin is worth it when you already have a Zombie figurine!
OT
Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 11:09 AMi don’t want the game but i want the collectors edition so im not sure yet
Benjamin Sutton
Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 11:36 AMI already pre-ordered the standard edition at GAME, it comes with a 4-inch figurine and I think that will do it for me. The game is cool and all, but I’m not so keen as to spend $170 on it.

Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 12:07 PMHang on, the 360 owners get a movie and we, the PS3 owners, get a dynamic theme? That doesn’t seem too fair.
NotoriousR
Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 12:22 PMI either agree with you, or I’m just confused.
http://www.ebgames.com.au/ps3-151152-Dead-Rising-2-Outbreak-Edition-PlayStation-3
That states that dead rising sun is included.
So what’s the dealio? Are PS3 owners getting ripped off and EB has it wrong?
Andrew Burdusel
Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 6:16 PMNo, the movie is exclusive to the 360. But don’t worry; we PS3 users get a dynamic theme! And it could be the best dynamic theme ever. But, unless it happens to play the full movie while I’m in the menu, I’ll be disappointed.
G4me Lov3r
Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 8:04 PMYea that suxs… But I’m gonna go for the standard edition, the “extras” on this thing is not worth the extra $100.
I’m not into figurine. The movie and the making of will be up on the internet within the first week or so.
What I want to know is, whether that dynamic theme is included in the standard edition or just collector’s edition?
Steven Bogos
Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 12:50 PMPre-ordering collectors edition from JB-HI. JB Never try to price gouge me like EB, and their staff (the games specialists at least) actually know about video games. Game is slightly better, but JB is the best

Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 2:01 PMThe ninja costume is tempting but I trust EB about as far as I can throw them. The special offers are always ‘sold out’.
I just want the movie mainly.
Matt
Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 2:44 PMso does that mean each store gets 233 each for each console….across the country? wow that doesnt seem much at all, but i guess it remains fair game because of the price.
Dire Wolf
Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 6:01 PMI can’t decide whether to pre order it from EB games or Game. I get most things from Game but that Ninja costume sounds awesome.
