lol. Damn it reddjoey....I was just posting about the FFXIII bundle in the Xbox forum and you beat me to it with a complete listing. Very nice.

I like the "Standard Edition" of FFXIII mention. Hopefully that's the nod that we're getting a CE

EDIT: Also very excited to see Dead Rising 2 with a date and a bridge-gapping DLC. Ready to get my gore on. I'm still not sold on a CE for Alan Wake.....neither for myself or for the entire general sales. Does the game have that much exposure to those outside of the more dedicated game followers?
 
There's been some random posting about some Squenix announcement around the 14th related to FFXIII. Makes me wonder if the 360 console was the announcement or if there's going to be something else for the CE/LCE for the game.

Alan Wake LCE would be interesting, assuming it's the usual, steelbook, bonus this-and-that and so on. Not sure what would fit into a CE/LCE for it.

I won't thread Nazi you for doing it. Setup links and what-not. Same will be done with all the games anyway. I just though it would be nice to have all the news sorted and put in one place since this presser is two days

The info of the CE is in reddjoey's spoiler tag. The replica of a hardbound book is a cool idea.

considering he posted:

Click to expand...

I would think more along the lines the the LotR special editions

The hardbound book idea is a great tie-in to Alan Wake, since he's an author. Some nice items in that CE, might be work a look.
 
more info.

MW2 DLC
L4D2 DLC
L4D1 DLC
FFXIII Faceplate

Some general sprucing up. I'll stick more in as it goes up online. Looking for clarity on AW LCE ambiguity

I heard there's an invitation to the Ghost Recon beta in Splinter Cell. Not sure if its in all new copies of the game or a preorder bonus.

Yup, heard about it yesterday and got an email from Ubisoft on it today:

I'd have to say I'm excited about the Fable 3 news. I always felt that series has the best potential to reach the most diverse group of players
 
I just got back from X10, and yes, Alan Wake is looking amazing. Surprisingly, I managed to get 12 minutes with one of the devs from Remedy for an interview, so I'll be sure to post it when the Alan Wake impressions embargo lifts at 6AM GMT on Feb 18th.
