Dead or Alive 5 collector's edition announced

i'm conflicted if i should buy it on xbox or ps3?

when the collector's edition will be available?  on the same day? anyone?

Ug, I hate steel cases. Sure, they protect the disk, but it's always so hard to take the disk out.

i am so sick of people whining about NG 3 and how Itagaki's absence is the fault of it.As far as i am concerned NG 3 was mediocre but playable for the fans of the series but the fact it was like this doesn't have to do with Itagaki's departure from Team Ninja.They just screwed up it happens to the best of companies. BioWare for example screwed up with 2 major Games consistently and currently getting a lot of hate.If Team Ninja Nails this one it will shut the whining mouths of all those Itagaki-Horny ppl and i really hope they do so.At least so far the game looks sweet.You should all understand that even if it is one Name that takes the lion's share of fame from a game's Success (like Kojima or Itagaki) there's always a group of talented ppl behind that name backing it up.So have faith on those people and let them try to impress you.

Only one problem. No Itagaki means no good game. Ninja Gaiden 3? Trash. Dead or Alive without the misogynistic man himself to keep the quality high? Trash.

I love how developers and publishers complain about used game sales while continuing to make exclusive deals with Gamestop, the biggest retailer of used games.

Artbook.... artbook! ARTBOOK!!!!!

OMFG I love it when collector's editions have these, it makes it totally worth the extra $

Talk about overkill. It's a fighting game, why on earth would you want all this for nothing but the same scenario's over and over again? DOAXBV 1 and 2 were horrible games as well. You couldn't even actually play the game itself it was so boring. And, good luck getting an online match today. Il'l go play Sexy Beach 3 or 3D Sexvilla 2 where you actually get what you want, NAKED women, and not just tantalized here and there with boring gameplay, and spend 80 bucks for it to boot. Ridiculous.

Well, I guess I can menage to play this one handed

It is still a good fighting game, but when my parents see me play this, it is hard to explain.

Alpha 52 WAS SUCH A BITCH in D.O.A 4 hopefully she'll be playable in D.O.A. 5 and the charactors won't be so damn difficult to unlock like in the aforementioned D.O.A. 4

lol sweaty half naked broads!!! If only u could get some to actually play this game AHA

Getting it on the PS3! :)

Just so you allz know one of the reasons for the cover art since it's so hated, is because the game features sweat now. Which is shown on the cover art you just can't see it on that picture.

I already haz on pre order. Love this series.

Will only buy the game if Elliot (or similar girlyboi) is included.  Also, he should get a swimsuit costume as well.

iv never understood these collectors editions ? there always overpriced and what do you really gain ?? a music cd from the game ooooo!!! the games a really good game however, my favorite rivaling mk and sf. DOA is fast and always delivers, had it right from the dream cast version, which still looks good today, though the frame rate on the dated machine showing now.

Weird :D I liked the box-art. Nice and simple.It doesn't give any hints that this is a fighting game, no. But its elegant.

Well, there is no question about its sex appeal. :) I am tempted to get this edition even though I don't play DOA or even fighting games.

 @T_REX305 I agree it looks like some box art for some type of computer generated hentai game.  Im still buying the game but man that box art is creepy. 

 @deviant74 Mind if i come over sometime and watch them play volleyball? 

lol What is with the box art?

If it comes with a standard PS3 or Xbox360 case i might get it. If it's just one of those big tin can things with the game disc just floating around inside it then no.

The swimsuits cost money now?  Apparently, less is more.

If I have 20 extra dollars lying around come release I may get this.

geez.... lame box art

LameStop only? This makes me very very sad....

YES!! I love they decided to do this! I'll be preordering it soon!!!

A little late on the news, I'm afraid. I pre-ordered this days ago, and it was announced a few days before that.

Shifting away from everyone's thoughts in the swimsuits and the... sensuality of the series for a moment, I'm looking forward to getting my hands on this not only because the game itself has been on the top of my list for months, but also because I have a tough time ignoring things like artbooks and soundtracks nowadays. To me, that was worth the additional $20 (assuming both of those things have a fair amount of content in them), and the DLC, poster, and casing are just gravy for me.

But yeah... it's DOA, so there's bound to be discussions about the *ahem* physical appearances of the female characters, regardless of it Team Ninja draws attention to it or not at this point. Can't be helped at this point, but that doesn't mean a great fighting experience can't be had, which is what I'm looking forward to here.

....For me i will get 2 copies, Because i wont regret my self like what happened with soul caliber 5 collector edition.

The collector's edition should come with an official DOA fleshlight or body pillow.

I gonna miss the days when i played "DOA" for hours just to unlock a new outfit.

but now they're putting all the fun as a pre-order bonus.

what's the point of keep playing this for hours now??

IF Tecmo ever releases the legendary nude patch version of beach volleyball Ill buy it. This one on the other hand, ah who am I kidding despite Ninja Gaiden 3 I love Tecmo, Im buying this.

I hope they don't dumb this down to appeal to the masses. If it's not challenging iI'm not buying it.
