2K has a lot of treats planned for Mafia fans. They recently announced a collector's edition which will consist of a hard case, art book, soundtrack, map and free DLC. A number of retailers are also planning some pre-order incentives, all detailed after the break.
Along with this EXCITING NEWS comes this new trailer showing off the PhysX power for Mafia II on the PC. I got a first hand look at the game on the PC and feel it's going to be better of the three versions. Plus, it's $10 less on the PC.
Full details of the collector's edition:
- Collectible SteelBook™ Casing: Brushed metallic SteelBook hard case with debossed logo containing two pieces of art featuring Vito and Joe, the stars of Mafia II.
- Made Man Pack: Free access to in-game downloadable pack that lets players get behind the wheel of two different luxury automobiles modeled after cars from the period. In addition, Vito will look the part with two new “made man” suits, including a vintage tux.
- Hardcover Art Book: Get to know the families of Empire Bay with a 100-page photo album-style art book that takes fans through the artistic design process of the game.
- Mafia II Orchestral Soundtrack: Immerse yourself in Empire Bay’s symphonic masterpiece with the Mafia II score recorded by the Prague FILMHarmonic Orchestra on CD.
- Map of Empire Bay: Get familiar with the neighborhoods and own the streets with a high quality, tear-resistant map depicting the 10 square miles of Empire Bay and all the hangout spots.
Pre-order bonus breakdown:
- Vegas Pack (GameStop): Get a taste of old school Vegas in this new DLC pack from Mafia II. Bring a taste of Vegas to Empire Bay as you cruise through the town in two new cars with smooth handling and timeless lines. Vito shows his Vegas style in two new suits inspired by movies and music of the time.
- War Hero Pack (GameStop): The ‘40s wouldn’t be complete without a war hero. Vito plays the role well in the War Hero DLC pack. Drive two military style vehicles and notice the superior handling in all weather conditions. Vito looks sharp in two new military outfits, including fatigues and a dress uniform.
- Renegade Pack (Amazon): Show off your inner renegade in this new DLC pack. Start with two new cars, one with the slick styling and tight handling of a small sports coupe and the other with the revved up engine of a ‘50s hot rod. Outfit Vito in two new suits, including leather and lettermen’s jackets to fit his renegade persona.
- Greaser Pack (Best Buy): Free access to the in-game downloadable content pack that is all about speed. These two new hot-rod speedsters will win you pink slips every time. Pair them with two new outfits for Vito -- a leather jacket with heavy boots, and a leather racing suit -- and get your engines revving.
- $10 Gift Card (Wal-Mart.com): Pre-order Mafia II at Wal-Mart.com and receive a $10 Wal-Mart e-gift card.

in fact i bet within 10 years the CPU is phased out altogether in favor of a multi core P/G/VPU on one board (mobo)
My jaw hurts from smacking the floor so hard.
the answer you wanted is - yes, hardware support is exclusive to nvidia
as for the second question - no, most likely you've made a good price/quality choice. ATI lacks physX support, but i can hardly call your choice "a mistake"
First Post, Hi all.
Another trailer for another gsme that does more harm than good in that it makes itself look like just another GTA clone. I know there's more to it than that, but anyone going by the trailer sure wouldn't.
Unless you are going to have two high-end cards in your PC you will likely be disabling all the nVidia effects anyway, as they are extremely resource hungry. The ATI 5000 series are excellent cards, I just upgraded to one myself. You made a good choice.
@Lethalizer415, where are you seeing the map?
grabbing 2 hd5770 instead of one 5870, however, sounds a bit strange:)
The pair will be slightly faster but also more power-hungry.
But then again, i don't know how much did that 5770 cost you and how much do the 5870 cost near you.
Here it is:

Yeah it does look small, but I bet the developers made it seem bigger by having the cars drive really slow, like vintage cars did
But I can honestly say I'm interested now - graphical style appeals to me, as long as it plays well this could be a bit of a dark-horse entry to my games library!
