Square-Enix has revealed the first pictures of the Final Fantasy XIII Limited Edition Faceplate.

The super ultra mega limited edition of the game includes a special Kasumi figure, the DOA Secret Picture Collection, and the Secretly Live Recorded Voice & Soundtrack CD.

The official Lara Croft Tomb Raider Legend life size statue. This very high Limited Edition statue was never available for the open public. This is the First time ever that this statue is offered to the public.

Fans of Hi-Rez Studio’s upcoming Spy-Fy MMO Global Agenda can now download the full client from Steam.

Players who purchased the game from Steam, the official GA site or the Limited Edition boxed version from Amazon will be able to get the game from Steam as of today, ready for the Early Start Event tomorrow.

After months of gnashing at the teeth by rabid fans, SquareEnix has finally unveiled the contents of the Limited Collector’s Edition for Final Fantasy XIII. In a world where collector’s editions are now coming with night vision goggles and real Bat-a-rangs, the FFXIII collector’s seems a little lackluster, but for Final Fantasy fans, this will be a must have.

The collector’s pack includes:

• FINAL FANTASY XIII Original Sound Selection: Soundtrack CD including a selection of music tracks from the game that are especially chosen for this Limited Collector’s Edition by composer Masashi Hamauzu. The CD is presented inside a slipcase featuring artwork from FINAL FANTASY XIII, and also liner notes that are written by the composer.
• The World of FINAL FANTASY XIII: Hardback book featuring character artwork, CG rendered artwork and environments from across the game production.
• Unique ‘Brand of the l’Cie’ decal: Collectible decal featuring this most iconic symbol from the game storyline.

Given the beautiful scores of previous games, the soundtrack alone almost makes this collector’s edition worth it.

Sharing: It’s Win/Win

Konami and Sony are busy making camouflage colored Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker PSPs.

Famitsu revealed a premium pack with the limited edition handheld, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker on UMD, a strap, cloth, and soft pouch will go on sale the same day as the game. How much? 26,980 yen ($296).

"With the sequel to one of the most popular RPG titles to hit the Xbox 360 only just around the corner, Microsoft have come to the table with a Limited Edition Elite console to commemorate this epic release. I for one am dying for this game, this is just the icing on the cake for anyone after an Elite console to kick off 2010."

Kotaku: "On Monday, we wondered where all the 120GB hard disk drives for the Xbox 360 had got to. This GameStop promotion may help explain what’s going on.

It’s offering a $50 GameStop gift voucher with every Xbox 360 Elite console sold. Out of the blue, not long after official price cuts and the holiday season. Considering almost everybody buys a few games or at least a second controller with their console, it’s effectively a temporary $50 price cut.

Why the rush to get Elite consoles out the door? Well, if you look on GameStop’s site, the regular Elite bundle is "Currently Not Available Online". It’s not available at Best Buy, either (only the holiday bundle is). Same with Walmart.

Sounds to us like the previously limited edition, 250GB "Super Elite" Xbox 360 is about to replace the regular 120GB model of the Elite."

Evidently the latest issue of PlayStation: The Official Magazine has reached subscribers, and GameThirst reports it has a number of juicy rumors in its pages. Top among them: that Sony is planning to announce three huge sequels at E3 later this year, including Resistance 3, Killzone 3, and InFamous 2.

None of them, mind you, is particularly surprising. The existence of Resistance 3 was already kind of leaked by a fake billboard on a movie set, so that one was expected. Similarly, Killzone 3 has also been previously rumored to be in the works (a rumor that also first appeared in OPM, in fact), and there have already been reports that Sucker Punch has been casting for InFamous 2 as well. This latest wave of rumors in OPM, though, says none of them will be available until 2011.

In other rumor news, the issue also states that they’re “90 percent sure” God of War 3 will launch with a custom God of War-designed limited edition PlayStation 3. And lastly, there’s an “85 percent chance” (we’re sure these figures are very scientific) that Metal Gear: Rising — the Raiden-starring spin-off announced at E3 last year — will be out by Christmas.

With the launch of StarCraft II growing closer it was only a matter of time before hardware companies started taking advantage of the hype from the game and branding there products to suite Blizzards extremely anticipated game. Today SteelSeries introduced the new limited edition ZBoard Keyboard with StarCraft II branding.
