Mirror's Edge Receiving $130 Runner Bag Bundle, Dead Space Gets $150 Ultra Limited Edition
by Chris Faylor, Sep 25, 2008 10:23am PDTContinuing the recent trend of ultra-expensive premium collector's editions--see Fallout 3's $120 Survival Edition, the $140 Gears of War 2 Lancer bundle, and Halo 3's $130 Spartan Helmet-- publisher EA has begun offering pricey limited editions of Dead Space and Mirror's Edge in its online store.
The $150 Ultra Limited Edition of EA Redwood Shore's sci-fi horror title Dead Space is only available for the Xbox 360 version, and is limited to 1,000 copies. The game arrives on PS3 and Xbox 360 October 14, with the PC version set for October 20.
Meanwhile, the $130 Runner's Bag Bundle for EA DICE's first person parkour title Mirror's Edge is available in PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 form--both arriving November 11--but is not listed for the PC version that hits later this winter.

1000 copies though DOES make it quite rare/limited....

However, they really don't seem to be doing anything hate-worthy here....
-There's only 1,000 copies of the Dead Space special edition. You won't find it at a retail store. There are going to be more people interested in spending $150 on it than are available, as it actually appears to be a collectors item.
-A red Timbuk2 messenger bag sells for ~$85 through the mfg's site. That puts the game at $45, making the combo cheaper than separate retail purchases.

I should have expect this though. Mirror's Edge got a lot of good responses. And EA is the publisher, of course they are going to milk it as hard (and for as much) as possible.
