BioShock Infinite Collector's Editions Announced

Posted on Thursday, October 18 @ 10:20:28 Eastern by Keri_Honea

Most of the news that's come out about BioShock Infinite as of late has been a bit troubling, and has made many believe that the highly anticipated game won't release on time. Almost as a way to say, "Hey, don't worry about it, please!" Irrational Games and 2K announced two collector's editions for the game: Premium and Ultimate Songbird Editions.

The Premium Edition will cost $79.99 and include the following in addition to the game:
  • A 64-page mini edition of Dark Horse Comics' The Art of BioShock Infinite
  • Digital soundtrack
  • DLC: Three exclusive Gear power-ups: Bull Rush (makes sprinting melee strikes more effective), Extra! Extra! (audio logs grant extra in-game money), and Betrayer (possessed enemies that you kill explode in a deadly fireball)
  • Console Exclusives: Xbox 360 users get Booker and Elizabeth avatar costumes. PC and PS3 players get BioShock Infinite themes
  • A 5" x 7" Lithograph print of Columbia propoganda
  • Handyman Figurine: A 25mm resin-cast figurine for use in the BioShock Infinite: The Siege of Columbia board game
  • Murder of Crows 3" Keychain
The Ultimate Songbird Edition will cost a whopping $149.99 and include a resin-cast 9.75" Songbird statue in addition to everything the Premium Edition offers. While the statue is quite breathtaking, you'd really have to be the ultimate fan to spend an additional $70 just for a statue.

I haven't looked into preordering the game yet, but the Premium Edition definitely has my attention due to the soundtrack and the mini-art book. I'm such a sucker for these things.

    Looks like I need to switch my pre-order over to the premium edition, I can do without the figurine even though it looks pretty badass. An extra $70 is a little too pricey for me especially since I can put that into buying more games.

    Damn! Another collector's edition! I already have Gears of War: Judgement, God of War: Ascension, Injustice: Gods Among Us, and now I'm going to have to pre-order this. I'm am going to be dead broke the first quarter of next year.

    I swear if you had a child and put all of your video game statues in his room at night he would be terrified.

    I may actually cough up the cash for the extras for this one. That statue is pretty sweet.

    That being said, exactly what news is it that you're referring to? Dammit all to hell if it gets pushed back AGAIN. I called this like a month ago when they announced that GTA 5 was being delayed again.

    SUCKERS! $70 for a little Songbird that doesn't even sing.
