"Packaged in a snazzy metallic embossed case it will include a second disc packed with behind-the-scenes extras. These include the usual "making of" feature, development diaries on the A.I., level design, animation, graphic technology, an art gallery, the Penny Arcade spy training manual, video features and trailers. PC Gamers will get an exclusive extra as well of the Kola Cell, Vselka and Vselka Infiltration levels from the original Splinter Cell

The special version will be produced in very limited quantities and carries a retail price of $54.99."

bishoptl · Dec 23, 2004

Hmm....Splinter Cell ain't exactly Madden. I'll stick with the regular version.

Mama Smurf · Dec 23, 2004

Do people really care about Splinter Cell that much?

GhaleonEB · Dec 23, 2004

Just screams, "Halo 2 did it, so should we!!"

Kuroyume · Dec 23, 2004

I didn't care about the Halo 2 LE and I didn't give a living shit about Madden, but I'll pick this up.

And for Pete's sake, hire a cover artist who, you know, knows how to draw stuff.

Anyanka · Dec 23, 2004

I'll probably get it. It's not that much more...

cvxfreak · Dec 23, 2004

Damnit, what was traditionally a Japanese trend is now penetrating America. Wait, that's not necessarily a bad thing now...

thorns · Dec 23, 2004

That might be the last great game from ubi, if EA buys them as expected.

DSN2K · Dec 23, 2004

EA could do a boxart better then that.

Take away the always cheesy Tom Clancy side bar and I'd be loving it. Other than that, it's cool. Kind of sinkning in that this will be the third game from a brand new series that was started this generation.

Baring sports games, has that ever happend before?

Jak / Ratchet and Clank

eh? Jak&Daxter, Ratchet&Clank, WRC (upto 4 now), Burnout..

Rahul · Dec 23, 2004

Why do they all say Limited Collector's Edition except for the PS2 one?

Guns N' Poops · Dec 23, 2004

No Tom Clancy bar in Europe :lol. But as it seems no Limited Edition either :lol.

True. Never played WRC, but at least R&C has been quality gaming three times in a row. Burnout.. while being great never really took off untill number 3. Suprised that there are so many though, now that its been pointed out. Wonder why that is..

Now.. that Euro box art is crappy. I think we can all agree on that. (Even minus the sidebar.. blech.)

I guess you could count NBA Street, SSX as well since they're not "real" sports games. and you could probably count GTA as well, (3 games this gen, the franchise basically started with GTA3).

boredJonathan · Dec 23, 2004

Well ok. So I didn't really give this whole idea too much thought apparently. Was it that common in earlier generations?

I think the problem I keep coming back to with SC is that I mainly think of it as a XBox title, and the fact that three versions have come out since that was released just seems overwhelming to me. I mean, we are just now getting the 3rd MGS. I guess my mind is just used to thinking of big franchise titles as coming out once ever couple of years.

I must get it from my hardcore Nintendo days.

Do The Mario · Dec 23, 2004

Australia has the best boxart so far!

Mike Works · Dec 23, 2004

The GameCube version clearly has the best boxart:

It's also the same as PC and Xbox versions in UK. The one I posted might be not the final for the rest as well.

Same as the regular US edition.

Three? That's nothing. Our good friend Tomb Raider appeared five glorious times on the PSone.

Neither was Mortal Kombat... it just seems to be a trend these days.

That cover would make the GC version the best-selling one.

Late Stage Marxist · Dec 23, 2004

American boxart would be so nice without Clancy bar. The other ones are ok tho. Not sure SC has a strong enough following for SE, but I guess that didn't stop Midway from doing one for MK: D.

Solid · Dec 23, 2004

I love Limited Editions. More of those please

LukeSmith · Dec 23, 2004

I will probably be suckered into getting this "limited edition." I think watching the documentaries and stuff will be pretty interesting, even if it does have (as a previous poster suggested) a whole "halo 2 did this, now we have to," smell to it.

Fularu · Dec 23, 2004

On the top of my head I'd say :

3 Onimusha Games
3 Devil May Cry Games
3 GTA games
3 SSX games
3 NBA Street games
3 Jak games
3 Rachet and clank games
3 Colin Mc Rae games
5 Battle Network games
3 Fire Emblem games
3 Megaman Zero games
3 Sonic Advance games
3 Naruto games
3 Mario Party games
3 Final Fantasy games on PS2 (6 all around)

That's with 2 mins of thoughts

Kiriku · Dec 23, 2004

I think it's funny how they are so sure of themselves with that boxart. The three lights, that supposedly everyone and their grandmother will instantly connect to Splinter Cell? I mean, the series surely isn't THAT popular, is it? But then, they sure have a big Tom Clancy bar on the left...just in case, I assume.

I still stand by the opinion that it looks more like a train running through a rainy night.
