Infamous 2 Hitting June 7, Hero Edition Announced

If you've got 99 bucks, Sucker Punch has a collector's edition to sell you.

Infamous 2 will be in stores this summer. Sucker Punch hit the PlayStation blog this morning and announced that the superhero follow-up will be available on June 7, 2011 in North America. The studio also confirmed the existence of the "Hero" collector's edition, which previously popped up on Amazon a bit before marketing folks wanted it to.

Let’s talk about that Hero bundle for a second. For a staggering 99 dollars, you’ll be able to obtain the following: a cute sling pack modeled after the one Cole wears, an 8.5-inch statue of Cole that you can put into said bag, a DC mini-comic, a copy of the game, and a “Super" downloadable voucher that features...
   
  • An in-game Kessler skin  
  • A 24K Gold Amp in-game weapon  
  • The Electrocution Grenade Power  
  • The game’s soundtrack  
  • The Lightning Hook Power

== TEASER ==Each of those “Super Voucher” items are also being offered as pre-order bonuses for the standard version of the game. Amazon scored the Gold Amp, Best Buy secured the Kessler Skin, GameStop has the Lightning Hook, and Wal-Mart will carry a voucher for the Electrocution Grenade. 

All of these participating retailers mentioned will offer up the soundtrack as a bonus. Here's the pics of each from the blog posting. Check out that lightning hook! 
 
 
 

Honestly, I’m still stuck on the 99-dollar price point of the Hero collection--that’s a lot of extra dough to drop on a game that comes with a fancy man purse. Any of you thinking about biting, or is that a little too out of your price range, too?
