Euro Bayonetta Special Ed revealed News

Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

10 November, 2009

SEGA has unveiled the European Special Edition of Bayonetta, which launches alongside the standard PS3 and Xbox 360 games on 8th January 2010.

Unlike the glitzy Japanese Collector's Edition, we'll get just one soundtrack disc rather than five.

We'll also get a "lovely artbook", a "nice slipcase" and copy of the game, according to SEGA's Euro blurb.

Bayonetta, an action game crafted by PlatinumGames (MadWorld), has topped the Japanese chart after its first week on sale. Regional magazine Famitsu deemed the chaotic witch-based game worthy of top marks, 40/40.

Looks nice - but how much ?

Madworld soundtrack CD was a freebie.

"I'm anxiously awaiting stories on how much other outlets are charging for the game."
But surely not as much as you're waiting for the definitive article about which console version runs at a slightly higher frame rate than the other, with slight differences in texturing that you can only spot using specialised video processing equipment.

I hope this will be available from all retailers. Not just restricted to one or two. That artbook looks really nice, and what I've heard of the sound track from the game has been great, which makes me really keen to get the SE for this. :)

I loved the demo, already preordered, but maybe I will canel it for this one instead.

Thanks, Gerald. I've got my eye on this one for sure. I'll need to know the damage to my wallet before i choose between this and the vanilla release.
