Just saw this over on the Cheap Ass Gamer forums. Atlus announced on their forums that the Demon's Souls Deluxe Edition is no longer in production. If you haven't found it yet, the extra $10 for the guide, art book, and soundtrack is totally worth it. Grab it while you can.

[i]IRVINE, CALIFORNIA - OCTOBER 19, 2009 -- Atlus U.S.A., Inc. today announced that additional stock of Demon's Souls™, the newly released award-winning action RPG for PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, will be making its way to stores across North America this week in response to overwhelming demand.
"We're thrilled at the level of interest and acclaim gamers are showing for Demon's Souls, one of the best reviewed games of the year and one of the highest-rated role-playing games of all time," stated Aram Jabbari, Manager of PR and Sales for Atlus. "We're working quickly to get more copies of the game out onto store shelves. We thank fans for supporting a daring, innovative product, and we ask interested gamers to be patient as stock is replenished."
The publisher also announced that the game's Deluxe Edition, which featured a 160-page strategy guide and collectible embossed slipcase, is now considered out of print in North America and will not be remanufactured.
"While the now discontinued Deluxe Edition of Demon's Souls was the only way to obtain the game's official strategy guide, the title already benefits from an in-game messaging system, a tremendous online community, and dozens of online resources for players who are finding the game to be a bit challenging."
Among those online resources is the official Demon's Souls wiki, which offers a central location for community members to share what they've learned about the surprises that await in the Kingdom of Boletaria. As more and more people discover the game, the community-driven assistance tools expand in quality and breadth, ensuring that while gamers are tested during their adventures, they never have to be frustrated.
"Mr. Jabbari," interrupted a frantic worker. "The game-making engines... They just can't take much more of this! They're going to blow," cried the man in a thick Scottish accent before turning about and returning to the game-making furnaces, soon followed by Jabbari.[/i]

"the extra $10 for the guide, art book, and soundtrack is totally worth it."
Just to make sure people know: you should get the artbook and soundtrack anyways from a regular copy. But yea, it's worth it.
I thought the artbook and soundtrack were preorder only? Either way the guide is the reason to get the deluxe edition, everything is just fun extras.
Wow, a limited edition that's actually limited. About bloody time :)
Wow, that really was limited. I'm glad I snagged a copy.

I think the art book was only for reservations, wasn't it?
I think what Magnalon meant to say is the artbook and soundtrack is included with the preorder of either version, the only thing you get extra in the deluxe is a fancy slip box and a guide.
Yeah art book/soundtrack were for preorders like usual. If somehow anyone had bought the Limited Edition after release, it might not have come with those. But I honestly think most of those sold out at release really.
Anyways the point is, the greatest bonus is the case, so you get lovely embossed thick cardboard, instead of the ugly looking PS3 cases.
