Bioshock Infinite has two collector's editions available to pre-order from 22nd October

Remember Bioshock Infinite from Irrational Games? well it should have been released tomorrow, the 19th October here in the UK. Ted Levine was left with the job of telling the masses this was to be pushed back to Easter 2013. So timed for the original release date Irrational have only gone and detailed not one but two collectors editions. Take a look at the Bioshock Infinite site for a more indepth and interactive look.

First up we have the Premium Edition which includes the following goodies;

* a 64 page mini-edition Art of Columbia art book (from Dark Horse Books).
* a 25mm resin-cast 'Handyman' figure which ties in to the upcoming board game 'BioShock Infinite: The Siege of Columbia'.
* a 5x7 inch lithograph depicting propaganda for Devil's Kiss vigor.
* a Murder of Crows replica bottle keychain.
* the digital soundtrack of music from the game.
* three exclusive in-game power-ups Bull Rush, Extra! Extra! and Betrayer.
* exclusive Booker and Elizabeth costumes (I'm guessing for your avatar).

and if your Tenlo you can spend your $$$ on this the Ultimate Songbird Edition;

This edition has all the goodies from the premium edition as well as that sweet looking Songbird statue. Designed by Irrational's concept artist Robb Waters, you can see this little fella in action in the vid below from around 13:45.



Available to pre-order from the 22nd October. I could only find US pricing $79.99 and $149.99 respectively. This really can't come any quicker for me!

They look pretty and I'm not even a bioshock fan.

The first one was too creepy for me too play, never saw the second one but I imagine it would have freaked me out lol.

I'll be honest I'm looking forward to both Bioshock Infinite and Tomb Raider in February and when I looked at the collectors editions I plumped for the Tomb Raider one. It's £80 for a version with statue but not the Bioshock one as its over £100 for the statue and to be honest the songbird just doesn't feel like it has the impact the Big Daddy does.

These collector editions look brilliant, the game is my most anticipated 2013 retail release so far... but I'm not a collector edition person so i'll stick with just getting the game

Up close and personal, Ken Levine gets nerdy.

Looks brilliant, but just the normal retail game for me!

Just seen on Twitter that Bioshock Infinate has no multiplayer, which for me is a great bit of news!

Haha nice one Shooter just posted something on this.

Lol mate, yeah just seen it

I must say your breaking of this news was far better than my one liner haha
