Update: Okay, so here are the Survival Edition and the Post-Pandemic Editions for North America.
Both feature similar bonuses when compared to the Aussie special editions described below. 🙂
Original Story:
Let's just assume gamers in other regions will get the same (or similar) treatment.
Sony Computer Entertainment Australia has announced a couple special editions for Naughty Dog's hotly anticipated PS3 exclusive, The Last Of Us , which is set to launch on May 7. The interesting part is that each edition is based on one of the two main characters in the game.
Hence, there's a Joel Edition and an Ellie Edition, both of which will feature a mini art book (with a variant cover exclusive to each edition), and a copy of "The Last Of Us: American Dreams" Issue #1, the first of a new comic book series. Purchasers will also receive a poster and a Dual Shock 3 controller skin boasting the character in question. Each Special Edition will retail for $114.95AU and can be pre-ordered from JB Hi Fi and EB Games.
Lastly, don't forget that if you spring for either, you'll nab the Survival and Sights & Sounds DLC packs, which feature multiplayer extras, more skins, the game's official soundtrack, a PS3 theme and PSN avatars. Now, how's about making all this official for the US, Sony?
