Skies Clear for Heavy Rain Special Edition
Heavy Rain is quickly approaching its suggested release date of February 23rd as millions worldwide anticipate its release. With an announced demo for the title coming before release, lots of consumers will have the opportunity to try out this unique collaboration of movie and videogame sometime next month. At any rate, it’s easy to argue that it might become a niche title, but that doesn’t stop its developer from releasing a collector’s edition.
The official PlayStation Blog has announced a Heavy Rain Special Edition. While the contents have not officially been announced, the contents can be seen in the image above. The Special Edition will release simultaneously with the scheduled release during the last week of February. The downside is that the Heavy Rain Special Edition will only be available in Europe. However, that doesn’t dismiss the possibility of a North American version, but the chances are unlikely.
The European version of Heavy Rain and HeavyRain Special Edition are scheduled for release on February 26th, 2010.

The contents have actually been announced:
The Collector’s Edition is packaged in a special ‘rain-effect’ slipcase – thanks to special embossing and other manufacturing tricks, it gives the impression of being streaked with 3D rain-drops (something that has confused a lot of people when they’ve seen it lying on my desk recently!).
But cool as that is, that’s not all. The Collector’s Edition also contains a voucher to download the following additional content from the PlayStation Store:
* Heavy Rain: Chronicle 1 – The Taxidermist – Experience Madison’s dangerous investigation in full, before it’s available on the PlayStation Store
* The Heavy Rain Official Soundtrack – Recorded at the legendary Abbey Road studios, and filled with the powerful orchestral themes that form a key part of the experience of playing Heavy Rain
* Dynamic XMB theme – Lend a little Heavy Rain ambience to your XMB

hello …
i think i saw the special edition on hmw
, what struck me was the price … same as normal .. must go check it out again!
I already have the dynamic theme
the package is great, a must buy, if i can get it to my part of the world why not.
cheers!
I really don’t like all this region stuff. I hope they announce a NA collector’s edition as well. They’d probably just be best off making it available in NA too.
Extremely unlikely there’ll be one for NA; it would be up for preorder already if there was one.
yeah but you have to admit normally it’s the UK missing out on the special edition.
doesn’t look like anything I need anyway…I can make my own paper crane if I thought I needed one and I don’t need a game soundtrack either and I definitely could care less about any documentary “How it was made”…I just need to know it was made and made brilliantly, not how they did it…that’s for the developers to know.
I’d love to get my hands on this, but I can share the good tidings- this one’s all your EU.
