Mass Effect 2 Collector's Ed detailed News
Xbox 360 PC News by Robert Purchese
EA has unveiled the Collector's Edition of Mass Effect 2, which arrives in Europe on 29th January 2010.
The premium steel case edition will cost $70 on Xbox 360 (probably £55) and $60 on PC (probably £45).
Inside you'll find a 48-page hardcover art book, issue one of the Mass Effect Redemption comic, and a familiar bonus DVD with developers yapping on about how the game was made. You'll also be given exclusive in-game weapons and armour. Oh, and there's the game.
BioWare commonly refers to Mass Effect 2 as the dark second chapter in the trilogy. Shepard's back, and there has been considerable technical polish lavished on the space RPG as well as advent of a brand new story.
So far we're impressed, as our well-stocked gamepage below should show. Look out for a new, more advanced hands-on tomorrow morning.

What no Plastic Collectors Box this time around like for DAO, Bioware? For shame!
Sounds like a great package - not sure about the comic - anyone read any of these and are they particularly worth owning? |

I haven't bought a collector's edition of anything in years....
Pointless waste of money.... |

Since I bought the CE of the first one and never opened the art book or watched the DVD, I'm going to do my best to resist this.

Good news - I like CEs of games. Tat-whore that I am. Was worried we'd lose out what with MS not publishing this time round (MS are really big on CEs, surprised there wasn't one for ODST - apart from the controller thing, natch).

A statuette would have been nice, but art books and making of DVD's, I'll pass.
I like my Fallout 3 statuette of a Brotherhood of Steel soldier. I liked it even better because I got the FO3 LE for under £30. |

At least it's not fivehundredbazillionthousand dollars like seemingly every other Collector's Edition announced these days. Still, any amount is too much for worthless, pointless and/or useless fluff. So thanks but no thanks.
@Kazzahdrane That's exactly what my experience with it was like as well. Still haven't got a clue of what's on that bonus disc.

Not a bad bundle as these things go. I value art books and game content far more than plastic figurines and pervert goggles.

(Looks embarrassingly at his Legendary Edition, collecting ever more dust in the corner) :S

The first ME tin was pretty rubbish.
Nice to see this one might be better...maybe. |

The ones for "Halo 3", "Resistance 2" and "Gears of War 2" were overall a nice addition, but I wouldn't consider them mandatory, unless you're a die-hard fan of the series that is. - - - - (...) Tin! Sold. Looks as good as the one for the original. |

Well I've now bought ME1 3 times - once for standard edition, once a second hand tin (but the sleeve was a bit scratched) then the platinum edition which looks shit but has everything the tin has on the discs and more (particularly nice Normandy premium theme).
I gave the tin to a mate as part of a birthday pressie so might just have to buy again to match the ME2 set! ;-) Btw, the full ME1 art book (which is a very nice hardcover edition) is available WITH the game guide for about a fiver at GAME and Gamestation online. Well worth it if you ask me. Has anyone actually bought the Saren avatar outfit? Was actually happy to buy some N7 armour, but the Saren armour just makes your avatar look like a gimp... ;-) |

I second that. The game guide is actually not mandatory, but the art book is just gorgeous overall... So is the official soundtrack. |

Please tell me this will be the box art in the UK. Has anyone seen the ABORTION of a design that the standard version is supposed to be getting in Europe on Kokatu?
