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

8:40AM Michael McWhertor | 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? More »

X-Blades Collector’s Edition Goes Topless

12:20AM Mike Fahey | She’s young and needs the money. X-Blades heroine Ayumi has no shame whatsoever, very nearly baring it all for a special statue included with the expansive collector’s edition of the game. More »

Euro SFIV Collectors Edition Boxes Detailed

3:00AM Mike Fahey | Capcom Europe has dropped details on the limited Collectors Edition Box sets for Street Fighter IV that European and Australian fans will be able to get their hands on come February 20th. The boxes themselves are rather attractive in their own right, featuring a classic Street Fighter scene on the outer case. Inside players will discover a set of limited edition figurines representing Street Fighters past and present, with fan-favourite Ryu joined by the ridiculously busty newcomer, Crimson Viper. Along with the toys, Capcom is also including a bonus disc containing a selection of trailers and a full-length anime movie specially created for the launch of the game. Icing the cake is a mini strategy guide for the four new characters and the promise of exclusive downloadable content. Here’s hoping we see something similar stateside, though I doubt my fireplace mantle is big enough to host both Crimson Viper AND her breasts. Hit the jump for the Xbox 360 version of the Collectors Edition. More »

GameStop Has More Wrath Of The Lich King Collector’s Editions

2:20AM Mike Fahey | Just like I did with The Burning Crusade, I spent a good six months assuring everyone I was fine with the regular edition of World of Warcraft expansion Wrath of the Lich King, only to panic and desperately look for the big Collector’s Edition package on the week of release. Well thanks to a timely tip, I found one, and you might still be able to as well. GameStop.com has just opened up pre-orders for the Collector’s Edition once again, and having gone through the entire check out and order confirmation process – you know, just to test it out – I can assure you they are indeed available. Keep in mind this is only online, and retail locations are still sold out.

Fable II Fixes On The Way, Missing LE Codes Resolved Tomorrow

3:20AM Mike Fahey | As we mentioned over the weekend, fixing the Monk’s Abbot quest glitch in Fable II was a priority for the team at Lionhead, so we got in touch with Lionhead Community Manager Sam Van Tilburgh to see how that was going. The good news is that the issue has been fixed! We’re keeping a close eye on our forums, while a lot of the issues reported are not issues with the game necessarily, some of them are (like the two examples mentioned in my blog) however and so we’re looking at those, plus some (like the Abbot Quest) have been fixed already. The biggest issue is when people report a show stopping issue on our forums without enough information for us to reproduce it. Regarding the ETA for said patch, there is no news yet. More »

The Sims 3 Collector’s Edition Detailed

12:20AM Mike Fahey | I wasn’t even aware that EA’s The Sims 3 was anywhere near the point where they could announce a collector’s edition of the game, but here we are, with an official press release and everything. Select North American retailers are now accepting pre-orders for The Sims 3 Collector’s Edition, $US69.99 worth of virtual people, a drop in the bucket compared to how much fans will spend on expansions over the course of the game’s lifespan. Included in the super mega mega edition of the game is the game itself, which is always handy, a The Sims Plumbob USB drive with a matching green Carabiner, an exclusive in-game sports car, a tips and hints guide, and some Plumbob stickers.
