Quantcast



Launching a big-named franchise at retail without a collector's or special edition is unheard of these days. So it's no surprise that GameStop is currently listing a Collector's Edition for Midway's upcoming Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.

Problem is, there are no details given. We've got you covered! While Midway has yet to officially announced the collector's set, here's what our sources tell us will make it so "collectible":

  • It comes in a velvet box!
  • A giclée print, presumably of Mortal Kombat and DC characters!
  • A 16-page comic book, presumably featuring Mortal Kombat characters fighting DC characters!
  • A t-shirt presumably ... OK, you get the idea.
  • A "making of" Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe DVD 

So how's that for fancy? GameStop is currently listing the set for $69.99 -- that means it'll cost you another ten bones for a velvet box, a picture, a comic book (which will not ever make its way online), a t-shirt that'll be four sizes too big (or too small), and a making of DVD (which will also never make its way to YouTube).

Worth it? Your call. We'll withhold judgment until we get some more details and pictures. We like pictures.

You subjected us to that picture again WHY WOULD YOU DO SUCH A THING

Also yeah that box set is the antideal. I pay seventy bucks and I still get a Mortal Kombat game.

As a frequent purchaser of collector's editions, I have to say that's a great deal for only an additional $10. I, however, will be passing, as I have no interest in playing that game.

Meh. I have the game preordered, but this doesn't interest me enough to upgrade. If they had some kind of exclusive in-game content, then maybe.
