Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-'s Limited Edition detailed

[Dohc-WP]

North American Guilty Gear fans can spend anywhere from $50 to $80 on the incoming Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- (pronunciation help here), depending on how many real-world trinkets they'd like and the console they intend to drain life meters on. As preorder pages from Amazon dictate, a Standard Edition copy of Xrd -SIGN- on PS3 will go for $50, with its PS4 counterpart running for $60. Xrd -SIGN-'s North American-exclusive Limited Edition will follow the same pattern, with the PS3 version costing $70 and the PS4 build pulling off an $80 combo on wallets.

As for what makes the Limited Edition so special, a press release from publisher Aksys notes the bonuses of an outer box styled after the series' Backyard, complete with "gears and high-quality binding," a soundtrack arranged by series creator Daisuke Ishiwatari, and a roster-encompassing art book that also includes work for Gear XX Accent Core Plus and Guilty Gear 2 Overture. A keychain replica of Sol's belt buckle with the word "Free" carved in rounds out the offering.

Though preorders are live, the press release only offers up a holiday season launch window, so we'll have to wait a little longer to learn when exactly it'll be time to rock. Regardless of which version you purchase however, Xrd -SIGN-'s crossplay compatibility means PS3 and PS4 owners will eventually all be fighting in the same community.

I've been liking my fighters recently. Since I gave Injustice the time of day and completed the story mode, some Classic ladder matches and a private online match or 10 (with a buddy from work) it's been my flavour of the month... I even went back to MK:KE and continued with the (admittedly lengthy, but entertaining nonetheless) story mode. Haven't tried it online yet, said buddy of mine is keen to do some private matches.

Just haven't gotten into King of Fighters from the recent Humble Bundle yet...
