Sega of Europe revealed a new offering for PAL gamers who are
way into Bayonetta, but not
so way into
Bayonetta that they're already buying the crazy
five-disc soundtrack from Japan. The
Bayonetta special edition, announced for release in the UK, Spain, France, and Australia, includes a single soundtrack disc, along with a hardcover art book. It'll be released alongside the regular edition of the game on
January 8.
Sega of America has yet to announce a special edition of
Bayonetta, but we won't be shocked when the company
does decide to pick up the extra money generated by such a release.

I still haven't been able to listen to all of the Bayonetta soundtrack. I've been looking forward to two soundtracks that release tomorrow.

Please tell me they're going to fix that awful cover art for the U.S. release...

You realise it comes out in January, right?
Heimbachae @ Nov 10th 2009 10:43AM
noooooooooooooooooooo, i'm ruined!!!!!
JeezWhiz87 @ Nov 10th 2009 9:54AM
Any word on price? I wants this game.
Shimrra @ Nov 10th 2009 9:55AM
I am at the point of just sick and tired of these "Special Edition" games I just want the regular game beat it and trade it away.
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith @ Nov 10th 2009 9:59AM
Well, some of us aren't. And it's not like the Special Edition is the ONLY edition.
Shimrra @ Nov 10th 2009 10:26AM
I dont mean to offend the people who collect these "editions" of games but I just remember back on the PSone era when something was special edition it was worth something. If anything special edition of certain games from that time can fetch you a nice bank if you ever want to sell it in the future.
RKN @ Nov 10th 2009 11:29AM
I completely agree Shimrra, all these special editions are a staple of this generation, just like DLC. More milking of money and yet they are tempting also!
Preston @ Nov 10th 2009 11:51AM
Perhaps something like stocks or bonds would be a better investment than "special editions" of video games? Just an idea.
Shagittarius @ Nov 10th 2009 1:08PM
Not anymore Preston, at least with collecting games you will see some return for your investments in the future.
MowDownJoe @ Nov 10th 2009 2:52PM
I misread Shimrra's original comment as "beat to it"... which, considering we're talking about Bayonetta and a special edition with an art book...
Jampirow @ Nov 10th 2009 10:09AM
Oh god, US version PLEASE.
Dale @ Nov 10th 2009 10:35AM
The PS3 logo on the box art looks very badly shooped.
ducttapeBigSexy (PSN&XBL: ducttape12) @ Nov 10th 2009 11:01AM
Special edition? So they fixed the performance issues of the PS3 version?
(And, before any fanboys flame me, yes, I've played both Japanese demos and, yes, the differences are beyond a slightly blurry texture you'll only notice on zoomed in, handpicked screen shot.)
butaneko @ Nov 10th 2009 11:31AM
Am I the only one that sings Bayonetta to the tune of "Barracuda" in my head every time I hear this game mentioned?
Kokomadeta @ Nov 10th 2009 11:35AM
Yeah, this was on SegaNerds last week. Way to keep up.
Mr.ESC @ Nov 10th 2009 11:41AM
I'll keep an eye on this game.
magicianoffear @ Nov 10th 2009 12:03PM
Sega America had better change the box art to be like this one. I dont ever want to see the Spider-man font on my PS3 games again, other wise I will just import this one. Seriously you would think Sony would be more on the ball with the box changes considerin how well the slim PS3 and marketing for it are going, so then why do some games ship with the old style box and others have the new, like Fairy Tale fights and Saw use the new box and came out earlier but Tekken 6 used the old and came out later.
Shagittarius @ Nov 10th 2009 1:08PM
I'm really surprised this edition didn't come with and inflatable Bayonetta.
psxman @ Nov 10th 2009 1:43PM
"Climax Edition"

That is all.
S. Tiger @ Nov 10th 2009 8:29PM
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, I want a US release for that.
NeoMahi @ Nov 10th 2009 7:46PM
I don't want SEGA spending all its time wondering what they're gonna put in the Collectors Edition for the PlayStation 3 (as the picture above shows, I'm sure Xbox 360 is getting the same thing, yes, we know this.) SEGA needs to be using their time repairing the mediocre release from Japan. Look at all this time they have, and are they actually spending it fixing the problems of the Japanese release? They've just called it good and are waiting for the Holiday Season to pass, eh? No possible chance of us ever seeing it perfected for US release?? COME ON! Somebody do something! Why are we letting SEGA do this? Some big industry Head needs to go in there and convince SEGA this cheap port isn't gonna be good enough. SEGA is really content to release the game in the US like this?
HDpurist @ Nov 11th 2009 1:59AM
This Bayonette CE looks pretty similar to Demon's Souls CE....not very impressive.
Ujn Hunter @ Nov 12th 2009 11:21AM
What are you talking about? Demon's Souls LE was amazing!
Also... Piss on Sega for Region Locking the 360 version. If it was region free I'd buy the Japanese version, the PAL LE version & the U.S. version (which I already have pre-ordered!)
