Alan Wake Limited Collector's Edition spotted on retailer sites with May 25 date [update]

Retailers have started listing a Limited Collector's Edition of Alan Wake, possibly in advance of an official announcement later today at Microsoft's X10 event. Both Best Buy and Wal-Mart have listings for the item, with an $80 price tag and a May 25 release date.

Wal-Mart's listing actually includes the image seen here, and details the contents of the set: a linen case "designed to resemble a hardcover book" (is this game a book or a TV show?), a 144-page book with a story written by Alan Wake and FBI dossiers included, a soundtrack disc, a token for the first DLC pack, and a disc with an Xbox Live theme and avatar.

Update: Microsoft has officially dated Alan Wake for release on May 18 and confirmed the Limited Collector's Edition.

Fire Wood Right?
It' been snowing like crazy over here.
I need more wood for the fireplace.
You can glady throw yours in and help me out.

That's a pretty good collectors edition for not a bad price at all. I'm waiting for a demo and reviews of this game but from what I've seen so far I really like it, and I hope it ends up being great. If it is, I'll definitely be in for the collectors edition, the sucker that I am.

hey, for the first time ever, your avatar is not a solid block of black

Really, what is it? Still showing up as black for me. I haven't tried to upload a new avatar in months.

It's a solid block of black on my end...

Yup. Black box over here, Zappa.

I've been trying to change my avatar for about a year. I'm stuck with the Aphex Twin logo and even though its still good, I feel like a change.

Wow, now THAT's a collectors edition!

Try not to touch yourself...

£40.99 at Amazon.co.uk!

Thats one of the better CE's I've seen.

Tons of stuff I'm interested in... and it comes out on my birthday. Maybe it is meant to be?

The force is strong with this one...

I can't wait to play this but I'll be picking up the regular version. I was ok paying $70 for collectors editions but the trend to charge $80 for all special editions has killed any chance of my buying these "special editions". An extra $20 for a book I'll read once, a CD I'll listen to maybe once and some digital extras that don't add to the experience just isn't worth the added cost. As far as the DLC goes unless it's something huge it will not interest me and I'll just pick it up normally. Not to mention the extra packaging that sucks up even more space on my shelf.
