So yet another Collector’s Edition to unbox, and this time it’s Mass Effect 2.
The package includes:
- Tin Case
- Bonus DVD with making of and other behind the scenes
- 1 Comic Book
- 1 Art Book
- Dragon’s Age Blood Armour Unlock
- Limited Edition Cerberus Network card granting access to bonus content
Unboxing after the jump.
Firstly, the front cover for the collector’s edition is totally different to the standard edition. It features what looks like a close up of Shepard’s armour with some deep scratches.
My preorder also came with a bonus code for Terminus armour and some extra weapon for the game. The gum is from the Mass Effect 2 launch that I attended.
The top of the case doesn’t have a cover, so if you like keeping the plastic shrinkwrap on like me, you can easily slide the contents in and out without damaging anything.
The game itself comes inside a tin case, featuring default Shepard on the front, and uh, something on the back.
There’s 2 discs for the game, as well as a Collector’s Edition DVD with bonus featurettes etc.
The rest of the bonus contents comes inside of a cardboard slipcase. Upon opening the flaps, you are immediately greeted with a Cerberus Network card, which has a code you can use to sign up for the network and get access to some bonus stuff.
You get a comic, ‘Redemption’ by Dark Horse comics.
And finally is the hardcover artbook. Most of the pages just feature a character each with concept and offical art. The pages are not glossy like the Bayonetta artbook, but just normal paper.
I thought to close this off I’d include a look at the standard edition of Mass Effect 2 as well.
Which is better? Only you can decide.
