Mass Effect 2 Collector's Edition sets sights on your wallet

Bioware isn't resting on its Dragon Age laurels.  Hot on the heels of the fantasy-rpg early next year will be the sci-fi based Mass Effect 2 and with most high profile games there is also a collector's edition in the works.  January 26th in North America and the 29th in Europe is the release date for this highly anticipated sequel to one of Bioware's key franchises. 

The collector's edition is pictured below as is some of the exclusive goodness that comes packed within.  $69.99 on the Xbox 360 and $59.99 for the PC (hurray for an actual PC CE) will land you a tin full of sci-fi action:

• Snazzy tin case as seen pictured
• 48 page art book (whats a CE without art, like PB&J with the jelly)
• A DVD featuring some making-of footage regarding the game
• Issue one of the Mass Effect: Redemption comic
• Limited edition Cerberus Network card granting access to bonus content
• Some exclusive armor and weapons that are only in the CE
• And of course the game

It should be noted that these downloads are separate from the content that will be available for pre-orders from various retailers.  If this tickles your fancy you can check out the PC version here and the 360 version here at Gamestop.

This is about all that is on my "wanted list" for January so I suspect I will pick this up at some point.  Finding time to play it is a whole another matter for as many of you know I still haven't found time to finish up the first game (dodges flames unsuccessfully).  Life is hard being a gamer, what can I say? 

Anyhow check out the cool crap down below and place your orders accordingly.
