Sonic Generations is meant to be a celebration of the Sonic series for its 20-year anniversary, so one would expect its collector’s edition to be especially nice. It does indeed seem to be fairly nice — the only problem is that gamers in North America won’t be able to get their hands on it.
Sega formally announced the game’s collector’s edition for PS3 and 360 today. As seen in the picture of the PS3 version above, you get a figurine of both the new and old Sonic; an individually-numbered gold ring; a “20 Years of Sonic Art” book; a soundtrack with music from the series that’s been selected by Sonic Team; a documentary on the history of Sonic; special packaging; and bonus downloadable content of some sort for Generations.
That all sounds terrific for the big Sonic fans out there, depending upon how it ends up being priced. However, the Sega Blog also brings word on why you might not want to get too excited about: it’s only for Europe and Australia. So unless you plan on importing (a potentially expensive proposition in and of itself, especially since this is larger package than just getting a game), this is something you’ll have to enjoy strictly in picture- and video-form.
