EA announced today that sci-fi survival horror game Dead Space is gold and ready to unleash screams starting October 14th in North America. Xbox 360 and PS3 players who purchase the game within the first two weeks of its release will be able to download console-specific space suits. Pre-orders from GameStop Online, EB Canada Online and "select" European retailers will receive the Scorpion suit. The suits feature a new look (seen above), along with "increased toughness and inventory slots."

Remember, the North America EA Store is also offering the "Ultra Limited" edition (only 1,000 copies) for $150. Those will also begin shipping Oct. 14th.

Well, looks like I'll be getting it for the PS3.

Ghen @ Oct 2nd 2008 8:40AM

yeah, the xbox suit looks very similar to the one in game anyway

Vidikron @ Oct 1st 2008 6:08PM

Not that I would make a purchasing decision based on this, but the bonus suit for the PS3 looks a lot better than the 360's bonus.

Hala Madrid!! (PSWii60 Defense Force) @ Oct 1st 2008 6:31PM

And how's that?

Madrid -

It's what we like to call "his opinion"

It's what people tend to express on blogs. Their opinions.

Hala Madrid!! (PSWii60 Defense Force) @ Oct 1st 2008 6:42PM

Both suits look OK to me.

Obvious PS3fanboy would say the Blue suit looks better.
Obvious 360fanboy would say that the Green suit looks better.

Don't try to hide your fanboyism.

Haggard (Mr.ESC died for our sins) @ Oct 1st 2008 6:44PM

I'm a neutral party; blue suit looks better.

Happy?

Heh (Mr. ESC, living in the hearts of us all) @ Oct 1st 2008 6:49PM

Wait for it, this is gonna blow your mind Hala.

I own a 360 and like the blue one the best.

I know, your head just exploded, right?

philmcphail (Free Mr.ESC!) @ Oct 1st 2008 6:50PM

@ Hala

Well, if you look closer at the two suits you'd see that they are both similar with the exception of the console based color. So I assume the vidikron just likes the red-blue hue that the left one has as opposed to the others white-green color.

ThornedVenom (Harley Quinn Defense Force) @ Oct 1st 2008 7:03PM

Wii gets the white suit. =D

Hala Madrid!! (PSWii60 Defense Force) @ Oct 1st 2008 7:04PM

@philmcphail
Ok, I get what you're saying

@Heh
That's ok dude, I own both systems and I like both suits
And no, my head didn't explode.

Poisoned Al @ Oct 1st 2008 8:03PM

Speak for yourself. I don't have the PS3, and I think that one is cooler.

(Fucking Christmas. I have even less money then usale and you have to put out all these games I want at once!)

Vidikron @ Oct 1st 2008 8:37PM

"So I assume the vidikron just likes the red-blue hue that the left one has as opposed to the others white-green color."

This is pretty much it right here. I just like the color scheme better. It honestly has nothing to do with the systems. I actually own and like both systems. And FWIW, I currently have Dead Space on my Gamefly list as a 360 game.

Comet @ Oct 1st 2008 10:30PM

Wii Fanboy here to say the 360s suit is awsome.

cranium @ Oct 1st 2008 10:32PM

@Hala Madrid
Actually, I'd disagree that Xbox360fanboy would blindly claim the xbox skin is better. They're impressively unbiased over there. I don't think the same can be said for PS3fanboy though. Does Nick Doerr still write for them? he was the WORST fanboy ever.

Haggard (Mr.ESC died for our sins) @ Oct 1st 2008 6:09PM

What do I get free if I buy the PC version?

Ah yeah, limited installs and computer-wrecking DRM! Thanks EA! :D

Heh (Mr. ESC, living in the hearts of us all) @ Oct 1st 2008 6:21PM

Or you could just get the PC version FOR free! :D

Slayer @ Oct 1st 2008 6:25PM

HAH!

Slayer @ Oct 1st 2008 6:26PM

So what is this Mr.ESC thing all about? I keep seeing it in some of your names.

RobLink (Alex Kidd incarnate) @ Oct 1st 2008 7:25PM

Oh, man, don't ask that. You'll open up a whole can of worms. Dude was banned for very little. He now lurks amongst us under other guises...

Poisoned Al @ Oct 1st 2008 8:53PM

Just don't say his name five times in front of a mirror!

CTC XBL-supapaypamawio PSN-ctclaw @ Oct 1st 2008 6:14PM

Sounds like the limited edition is actually limited. I still see the GTA IV and Halo 3 "Super Limited Editions" with huge price cuts.

philmcphail (Free Mr.ESC!) @ Oct 1st 2008 6:15PM

So can I get both the scorpion suit and the console themed suits? Oh well, they all look nice! http://www.joystiq.com/photos/dead-space/1067634/

Arturo @ Oct 1st 2008 6:27PM

360 version for me

LordChimp @ Oct 1st 2008 6:28PM

I hate that character design. Oh well, I will still play the game.

Mechanical @ Oct 1st 2008 6:30PM

Ah, cool. I see what they did there, color scheme of the console...in before some wisecrack about the 360 skin needing a red glow from the visor.

Heh (Mr. ESC, living in the hearts of us all) @ Oct 1st 2008 6:32PM

The 360 skin needs to have a red glow from the visor.

Mechanical @ Oct 1st 2008 6:41PM

Okay, I had my fun, carry on.

Dranreb @ Oct 2nd 2008 11:57AM

A flashing Red Glow for the 360 visor.

brian @ Oct 1st 2008 6:31PM

i don't like to pay more for an easier game.

i really hate bonus's that give people in game advantages. Nothing wrong with some nice swag though.

Thanatos @ Oct 1st 2008 6:52PM

And what about us PC games? Im going to laugh if we get the suits for
free as micro transactions have failed on the PC platform.

Maverick Saturn @ Oct 1st 2008 7:30PM

I'm a dark and mysterious sort of person, so I'm liking more the one to the left. The one to the right looks like Master Chief's distant cousin ¬_¬

Arnon @ Oct 1st 2008 9:32PM

It's his not-so-fortunate cousin, Isaac.

The one on the left would be annoying while playing the game.. you know, since it takes place in the dark most of the time haha.

FSK405K @ Oct 1st 2008 7:45PM

If I buy the Wii version, can I be Samus?

Absolute Filth @ Oct 1st 2008 7:52PM

I'm a fan of the default suit.

snarfoogle @ Oct 1st 2008 8:30PM

If you buy it for the Wii, you get a gimped, poor graphics, worse gameplay port. Except you don't get it at all, as Dead Space is "exclusive" to the PS3, 360 and PC.

wiredknight @ Oct 1st 2008 8:40PM

Shut up, all of you. None of the suits look good. They made one section of the armor, then cloned the crap out of it.

The legs, boots, and head look alright, but the rest just looks like it was made in a day.

The game still looks awesome, and I definitely looking forward to it, but I'm not really impressed by their suit design.
