Visceral Games Going All Out With The Dead Space 3: Dev-Team Edition

Visceral Games is going all out with the Dead Space 3: Dev-Team Edition and what a package it is. If you are ready to throw down your hard earned cash you’ll get an 8″ Black Marker Statue, Aluminum Data Pad, Med Pack Water Bottle, Bound SCAF Jotter, SCAF Posters, Peng Postcards and a mini art book. Now the best news you don’t even have to buy the game! That’s right, in a move I fell more developers should pursue  I’m looking at you Gearbox and your Aliens: Colonial Marines Collectors Edition, you can either buy everything all in one shot including the game or just buy the Dev-Team Edition extra content without the game. Why would you do that? Maybe you have a huge backlog and want to secure the goods now and then pickup the game at a later date when you’re ready or maybe you want to buy it digitally and you hate discs, who cares, it’s a damn good idea! Hell if they did this always then we wouldn’t need to worry about what console or PC release get’s no collectors edition, eh-hem Gearbox.
