That’s the question Naughty Dog is asking through twitter.
Though we missed a special/collectors edition with Killzone 2, God of War III will definitely be getting one. Now the question remains if gamers value a 80 plus euro/pound/dollar edition, which usually included an art book and a behind the scene’s disc.
But is that all we want in a special edition? For me no. Example, Fallout 3. The lunch box and bobble head made the choice for my purchase. Grand Theft Auto 4 also had it with the bag, locker box and key chain.
Such special/collector edition make it worth getting.
But what can you include in a Uncharted edition? You tell us.

Dead Space gets it’s own special editionIn a news letter from EA Games, they let know that by pre-ordering Dead Space you’ll be able to get your hands on one of the limited and exclusive Art books. It is written by the Development Team and also includes some illustrations.
The book contains details on the creation from concept through production. You will also get 3D glasses for the special 3D art only viewable with the glasses.

- Bonus content DVD
- Exclusive lithograph art
- 97-pg Dead Space art book written and illustrated by the development team (What we where talking about)

And is named the Dead Space Ultra Limited Edition.
Can somebody confirm this as I keep getting redirected to the Dutch EA Store which doesn’t have it.
