Mass Effect 2 Collector's Ed detailed

DVD! Art! In-game treats! Tin!

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.
