Irrational Games has announced BioShock Infinite's Ultimate and Premier editions and one of them even includes an actual Songbird!
The Songbird is one of BioShock Infinite's premier villains and is created by Robb Waters, who's also the concept artist who designed The Trickers in Thief, Man-Bot in Freedom Force, and BioShock's Little Sister.
Here's what the actual nine-and-a-half bust looks like:
The figure, which will be bundled with the Ultimate Edition, will come housed in his own specially-designed period box, with custom artwork by Robb Waters and Irrational Concept Artist Jorge Lacera. I take it this is for those people who want to keep the statue in its original packaging as to not lessen its value.
Both the Ultimate Songbird Edition and Premier Edition will contain the following goodies:
-
A 3-inch baby version keychain of the sold-out Murder of Crows vigor bottle replica.
-
A 5 x 7-inch lithograph by Jorge Lacera.
-
A 25 millimeter, resin-cast Handyman miniature from the upcoming BioShock Infinite board game by Plaid Hat Games, makers of Summoner Wars.
-
A mini art book, full of BioShock Infinite concept art and commentary, with a hand-distressed cover.
-
Various digital goodies: exclusive in-game gear, a digital soundtrack, and platform specific downloadable content (Avatars for Xbox LIVE, and Themes for PC and PlayStation 3).
Here's a look at the Ultimate Songbird and Premier Editions side-by-side with all the contents:
The Ultimate Songbird Collection will cost you $149.99, with the Premier Edition coming in at $79.99. Both versions can be pre-ordererd starting this October 22 through your preferred retailer or via Irrational's site.
Anyone getting the Songbird edition or do you need someone to whisper "would you kindly" first before you consider parting 150 bucks for it?BioShock Infinite is scheduled to hit in February of 2013, but Irrational has a new trailer planned for fans that will drop next week,
