Resistance 2 Collector's Edition PS3 Sales Soar

August 31, 2008

Online retailer Amazon.com has begun taking pre-orders for a Collector's Edition version of Resistance 2 resulting a surge of sales over the past 24 hours.

Resistance 2 Collector's Edition, due to release November 4 exclusively on PS3, debuted ranking 1,822 in videogame sales at Amazon sometime on Saturday. By Sunday morning it had moved up to the 76 spot despite an $80 price tag, and will likely go even higher as more PS3 owners become aware of its existence.

Amazon has listed the exclusive features for Resistance 2: Collector's Edition which are as follows:

• Resistance 2 video game and Bonus DVD with Behind the Scenes video, video commentary by Insomniac Games, and "Twisted History" chronology video.
• Exclusive in-game HVAP Wraith multiplayer skin
• Sneak peek at the upcoming Resistance novel, "Resistance: The Gathering Storm"
• Exclusive 5.5" Chimera Hybrid action figure with Bullseye weapon
