"A life size replica Death Mask with a stand "

Am I the only one that finds this somewhat ironic?

Shouldn't it be "death-size replica Death Mask" or maybe "full size replica Death Mask"?

Heh, I don't even care about the game but that statue is pretty nice.

flame sword (or whatever you call it) looks a little weak but otherwise it's pretty epic. I'll add it to the op in a bit, still in bed.

Damn... another collector's edition I have to pick up at retail.

Anyone think the NG3 Collector's Edition will be harder to find later as it's a GS Exclusive. Have there been other GS Exclusives?

Go look at the ebay listings for the Ninja Gaiden 2 collectors edition. Also a gamestop exclusive.

Except that was PS3 exclusive and it was a great game and it sold out prior to release. NG3 is dual platform and has been getting slaughtered in the reviews and it's still in stock. So, no, I wouldn't buy this thinking you are going to be sitting on a goldmine.

This. Gametrailers were much kinder so I have more interest in getting it all now. Also, the NG2 Exclusive is OK but also not quite as good IMO, for example is has a horrible case that has to be totally opened to get the game and content out. I imagine at a minimum there will be GS with on hand stock that get's clearanced sooner rather than later.

I don't think it was exclusive. Sigma was, but not the original NG2.

No. The original, higher rated NG2 was also on Xbox360.

Yes, I understand that, however, the person who posted above was speaking of the collector's edition of NG2 Sigma which was Gamestop exclusive and PS3 exclusive. NG2 on the Xbox 360 never had a collector's edition.

No surprise that we're getting a AC3 CE. Though, looks like they're going the Gears of War 3 or Halo (insert release # here) route with standard/LE/CE versions.

I guess "Join or Die" edition will be the LE, and it'll be in the $80-$100 range, and the "Freedom" edition will be the CE and be in the $130-$150 range. I do wonder if the Assassins' medallion in the "Join or Die" version is included in the "Freedom" edition, like the Gears Of War 3 COGs.

Interesting that those promo images have the UK ratings logos on them. I wonder if those editions will be the same in both the US and UK.

We've had different versions between the US and UK/EU, so these may be UK/EU-only versions.

I'm sure we'll know more when the time comes.

Those special editions do look nice. Hopefully, the US will have something similar to this.

True... Though I'm a bit surprised at how soon we are learning about it...

We didn't learn about the other ones six or seven months out did we?

Not bad, not bad, though I think fewer people will be interested in the Freedom Edition if they got the steelbook already when preordering the standard edition.

I'm slightly interested in the Join Or Die edition; however, based on the pricing of the AC:B LE, it might not take that long for it to lower in price.

When you mention that it seems stranger.
I wonder what their take would be on the whole "Fight like an American" ordeal.
