Dead Space 2 collector's edition with replica plasma cutter leaked [update: it's official!]

by JC Fletcher on Oct 13th 2010 10:00AM

According to a (since removed) image found on Amazon and now posted on Examiner, the collector's edition of Dead Space 2 will include a life-size toy Plasma Cutter, in addition to a soundtrack CD, a DLC voucher, and a piece of artwork. EA announced its intention to produce a collector's edition for the sequel way back in January, when it sought ideas for pack-in items from fans. The plasma cutter happened to be on the list even then -- and we called it "outrageous."

Being a sort-of leaked item, EA hasn't officially announced its existence, and thus no information about its price is known.

Update: EA has announced the Collector's Edition -- for the UK, at least. The plasma cutter is only packed with the Xbox 360 and PC versions, while the PS3 version includes Dead Space Extraction.

Update 2: EA announced it for North America as well -- with no mention of platform exclusivity for the plasma cutter.

Let it be $80. I SO want that plasma cutter.

@nightmare452

I would be shocked if thing wasn't $120.

@nightmare452 - I'll take a life-size (I'm assuming 1:1) replica Plasma Cutter over an HD port of an on-rails Wii shooter any day.

Then again, it's UK only. I just hope the import cost isn't ungodly.

@nightmare452

Let it come to the USA!

That plasma cutter looks f'n sweet!!! If only I had the money....

DO WANT

So maybe in the second game, they can possibly include... TWO enemy character models?

I played the first game for about two hours, and got tired of the enemies VERY quickly.

@Enosoma
Your problem was you played that amazing game for only 2 hours.

But yeah, there aren't that many different enemy models at the beginning; later on, there are other types of enemies.

@nightmare452

The babies. Oh god, the babies.

@Enosoma

Yeah I didn't own it, I was kinda drunk at the time at a friend's house. I just remember thinking "I already killed the thing with spike arms."

@nightmare452 while you are right, there really are only like 5 or 6 enemies, an additional 3 of which have an alternate skin

@Enosoma

So maybe in your next post you can possible include... two real criticisms of a game that you have actually played while sober. Seriously dude. You were drunk and didn't even play a quarter of the game and you honestly think you're opinion is valid. Not trying to be a douche, but COME ON.

@Grey

My opinion? I was exaggerating the fact that there aren't that many enemy character models.

Sure, there might be a few, but I'm sure that everyone here is with me when I say that there simply just wasn't enough.

@Enosoma

Forgot to mention, I don't need two criticisms. That was my only one, from what I've seen of the game.

@Enosoma

let me the first to say...PEW PEW!!!

So if you pre-order this you still get Ignition and Extraction (PS3) too? I'm gonna need a whole lot of (dead) space for all this stuff.

@Pure Black World Tendency

Yeeeeeeeeeeaaaa....ahhh??

GIMME GIMME

i doubt this will cost $80 but hey it may if LBP2 CE or LE whatever you wanna call it is $80 as well. if it's $80 i'l pre-order it

@HardBoiled2009

hmm not coming to PS3 huh ? oh well

DSG > Toy Plasma Cutter

@HardBoiled2009
same I can buy it for 80 bucks.

Yeah I'm not getting that...the regular edition will be fine with me.

@Talos Izanagi

Cool.

Yep I am going to be getting that!

"Replica Plasma Cutter"

Sold.

The collectors edition for PS3 includes Dead Space Extraction, so I'm going to be it's closer to $90. Sign me up. I wanted to check out Extraction, but just never did.

It all depends on the quality and size of this replica.
I learned my lesson after buying the Batman Arkham Asylum Collector Edition

@Jawmuncher

My little brother got that Arkham Asylum collector's edition, disappointed is not the word. He was also upset that the "UNSC patch" that was in the Halo Wars CE was actually more like a rubber drinks coaster.

As you can see in the pic,
the plasma cutter is just a little bigger than a DVD.

@Jawmuncher
Based on the comments on this article alone people have already forgot about the Halo "cat helmet" the Gears lancer and the Batman batarang (that couldn't be thrown)

they won my money!

dead space was just an awesome game and im dying to get number 2

plasma cutter rep is just awesome!

Damn it. And here i was hoping to finally get a REAL plasma cutter for my personal use. sigh......

Pew pew pew!!

In the immortal words of Will Smith, "I gotta get me one of these!"

buy it. 100% for sure, buying it.

I sure hope that it's a working plasma cutter.

@GordoJones88

It will be better if the plasma cutter work as a controller (like move) so you can play extraction.

@klmn18

That's a great idea.
But the plasma cutter looks to be only a little bigger than a DVD.
I'm sure some people will attach the Move to this.

@GordoJones88

With duct tape of course, or string. ;-)

I'm more of a action figure guy when it comes to collectors editions but that gun looks sweet!

@daevv Yeah, I'd like to see a poster or two in the LE, but a plasma cutter is good for me as well.

Let's take it personal.

OMFG @ _@

I just want the Plasma Cutter, not the game.

Unfortunately, it's going to look awesome, but once you get it, it's going to be very lightweight and cheap, and will break easily. And it will retail for $150.

They just aren't going to spend the kind of money needed to make this more durable than a Happy Meal toy. In fact I am sure some Happy Meals toys are more durable. The Fallout 3 Pipboy, some people broke it literally pulling it out of the box, and you expect this to be any different?

@Drakkenfyre

A REAL collector would buy, leave it sealed and put in on the shelf and in the closet for years.

A crazy collector would buy at least three copies of this edition.

The Dead Space 3 collector's edition will come with a life-sized necromorph that you can strategically dismember with the plasma cutter you get with the Dead Space 2 collector's edition!

@Ospov :D

I like this idea!

If that's real and the plasma cutter isn't some cheapy plastic thing... that will be mine.

@eimajtl Real as is that's what's actually in the LE set... not a working plasma cutter. >.>
