The Augmented Edition
In both territories, there’s an Augmented Edition of the game – a sort of collector’s box set. In the Europe, it comes with all the bonus in-game content it’s possible to get – as it damn well should. But in the US and on Steam, bizarrely, it doesn’t come with any of the in-game content. You can only get some of it by pre-ordering from certain retailers like GameStop. I think that sucks. US readers, do let us know in the comments if you find anywhere Stateside selling the whole package.
If you do buy it from GameStop in the US, it comes with all the bolded items below – the same in-game stuff as the regular edition from there. In Europe, from Game.co.uk, it comes with everything below:
40-page Artbook
44-minute making-of
Motion comic
Game soundtrack
E3 Trailer and animated storyboard
Exclusive mission: Tong’s Rescue
Multi-shot Grenade Launcher
Remote-Detonated Explosive Device
Automatic Unlocking Device
Double-barrel Shotgun
Silenced Sniper Rifle
