Is This The Much Hyped StarCraft II Limited Edition Set?

Recent video footage shows the unboxing of what is believed to be the StarCraft 2 limited edition. Why is this newsworthy? The set isn’t supposed to be available until the game’s launch day July 27th.  In the video, which was taken from a Chinese website and supposedly in the Czech language, we are shown the game disc, a bonus disc, a comic book, an art book and the packaging. Apparently the guy in the video is friends with the son of a person that works in manufacturing. So this begs the question; is the leak real or is it fake? That is for you to decide, but I will say this: If it’s truly a fake, they put a LOT of time and effort into it. Purists shouldn’t feel encroached upon either. The game cannot be run until launch day anyways. StarCraft 2 launches to the honest, self-respecting public on July 27th.

New Fable III Box Art and Stuff

Fable III is making its way onto the Xbox 360 this year, and with that comes the glory of all things that is a “limited edition.”

Soon after the jump, you’ll bear witness to a couple of items that will be coming with Lionhead Studios’ Fable III boxset. For those of you who are into the whole “limited edition” thing, Fable III comes with a pretty nice set of goods. For one, the box cover is unique and comes on the inside of a book – you know, the ones people use in movies to stash valuable items. The appealing thing about this specific book-box concoction is that it comes with two compartments. One will hold the game, and the other – which slides from the middle – holds a grungy set of playing cards with a shiny token, which is the “Guild Seal” from the game. Hit the jump for more.

Record of Agarest War Unboxing, For Your Entertainment

So, yesterday the huge, pink box with half-naked anime ladies on it arrived. It was the Really Naughty Limited Edition of the strategy RPG Record of Agarest War and it the box contains some of the most…um…interesting collectors items I’ve seen in such a package. While the game itself is reported to be like crack for SRPG fans, the marketing and packaging of the game are questionable, given its rating of T for Teen here in the U.S. So, to show you all the mysterious contents of this box, I decided to put together a little video for your perusal as I dig into this bountiful feast of anime gaming goodness. It has a few hiccups here and there, but give me a break, it’s my first one! (Also, no matter what anyone says, there is always a reason to use the picture above. Always.) Check it out after the break, as well as a few other shots of the box.

FFXIII DualShock 3 Controller to Go With Your PS3

What would be really slick, is if you already had the FFXIII-themed PS3 that came out along with the Japanese release of the game back in December, then you can put the controller with the system and, by their power combined….er, well…it would just look cool. The Asian relaunch of FFXIII is approaching, so Square-Enix and Sony have come up with another bundle for the game, which should come as no surprise to anyone. This time, though, the bundle includes a controller styled after the original FFXIII PS3.

Deathsmiles Gets a Sexy Limited Edition

Haven’t heard of Deathsmiles? I’m not surprised. It’s a very nich Japanese horizontal side-scrolling shooter. It was on display at PAX East and, if you were there, you might have gotten your hands on it. The line was pretty long to get a shot at playing it, but I watched some others play for a few minutes. Not necessarily my type of game, but you know what? Aksys sure as hell knows how to make some awesome limited edition bundles. Remember the one for Record of Agarest War? Yeah, this one is better – it comes with a sexy Xbox 360 faceplate, along with a copy of the game and a soundtrack CD with tracks hand-picked by the game’s director. What more could you ask for, right? A mouse pad where you rest your wrist on a girl’s ample bosom? That’s so three months ago. Awesome faceplate > boobs any day, right?

Play Uncharted 2 Beta & Win Uncharted 2 Fortune Hunter Edition

Anyone who’s an Uncharted fan would definitely want one of these, and I’m not talking about Nathan Drake’s unique belt-buckle here, either. Instead, what I am talking about, is a little something called Uncharted 2 Fortune Hunter Edition, which is as nice of a goodie as anything you can imagine.

All you have to do in order to become eligible for this collector’s edition of the game is simply play the Uncharted 2 Multiplayer Beta this weekend, and you’ll automatically be entered. Naughty Dog is handing out 10 copies of the special edition every day until the game’s released on Tuesday, October 13th, which clearly indicates that chances of getting this leather-bound, dagger-including orgasmic limited edition set is marginal at best.

Damn you, Naughty Dog… damn you to hell!

Oh, and below is the image of the actual box set that they’re giving away to the lucky person who wins this godforsaken token that everyone and their mothers will lust for.
