Prince Of Persia Limited Edition!

Talking about some games requires introducing the company behind them, the previous releases in the series, if the game is part of such a thing, and giving some details about the game itself, too. I won't do any of those today, because I only have to tell you three words: "Prince Of Persia!"

I said this before, and now I say it again - I love special editions. I like to get a game and hold it in my hands, enjoy simply watching a well done box, with some bonus items, maybe even some promotional T-Shirts, depends. Anyway, to make a long story short - Ubisoft announced that anyone who places a pre-order for Prince of Persia for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, or PC, will automatically be entitled to receive a special Limited Edition version of the game, without having to pay a single extra cent!!!

Since "Limited Edition" could mean a lot, here's what it means in this case:

- Collectable Limited Edition packaging
- An exclusive look at the making of Prince of Persia
- A Prima digital mini-strategy guide full of developer's secrets to help players master the year's best action-adventure game
- A digital art book that chronicles the game's journey from concept to winner of Best Artistic Design at E3 2008
- The original soundtrack scored by master composer Inon Zur

Even more, Ubisoft partnered with Penny Arcade to have a comic book based on the game ready in the near future - by the end of the year, to be more precise. Here's what today's press release says about it: "the expanded 32-page comic book will span roughly four times longer than the usual Penny Arcade comic and will allow the Prince's story to be creatively told in a robust, illustrative format."

Sweeeeeet! That's why I always like to get my hands on a game, rather than downloading it. Virtual "something" it may be good, it doesn't matter if we talk about virtual racing, friendships, or even virtual worlds like Second Life, but no virtual product can match the real thing!
