BioShock 2 zapped with Special Edition

2K Games has BioShock 2 cued up for a February 9 launch on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. Those looking to submerse themselves completely in the underwater world of Rapture may be interested to know that 2K Games will offer a premium collector's edition of the game. The BioShock 2 Special Edition will cost $99.99 on the Xbox 360 and PS3, while the PC installments check in $10 cheaper, at $89.99.

The BioShock 2 Special Edition brings with it a host of memorabilia associated with the underwater city of Rapture. The package's extra expense brings with it three advertisement posters mocked up with the same art aesthetic as seen in the game, a vinyl 180g LP of the highly acclaimed original BioShock soundtrack, a CD with BioShock 2's musical score, and a 164 page 8"x11" hardcover art book.

BioShock 2 is being developed by a host of different houses, with 2K Marin taking the reins on the single-player campaign and Digital Extremes crafting the multiplayer component. Support is also being provided by 2K Australia, 2K China, and Arkane Studios.

The publisher notes that the BioShock 2 Special Edition will be available only in limited quantities. For more information, check out GameSpot's previous coverage of BioShock 2.
