PlayStation 3 wrestling fans are getting special treatment from THQ next moth as the company announces a platform-exclusive collector's edition of the game for PS3 owners. Why just the PlayStation 3? Well shipping a game with a Blu-ray disc filled with a making-of video and two hours of wrestling footage from 2008 wrestling matches for the Xbox 360 would just be silly. The North American version will come in special steel cage packaging, while Europe and Asia will get a miniature wrestling ring.
“The WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 collector’s edition is a must-have for the WWE aficionado,” said Nelo Lucich, senior vice president of interactive, JAKKS Pacific. “With innovative content and packaging that looks great on collectors’ shelves, and a host of Blu-ray content including a behind-the-scenes, this collection is certain to be enjoyed by WWE fans for years to come.”
Seems an odd choice really, limiting the collector's edition to one system like that. I suppose THQ just loves PlayStation 3 owners more. It's okay, 360 owners. They still love you, they're just not in love with you.
