Following in the footsteps of games such as Halo 3, Rockstar Games has just announced that there will be a SE pack for GTAIV.

The $129.99 Legendary Edition of Halo 3 will be the most expensive special edition of a console game this year. However, today another eagerly anticipated title was also given its own high-priced package with extras aplenty. Rockstar Games today announced a special edition of its biggest game this year, Grand Theft Auto IV. The SE of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 will run $89.99, some $30 more than the $59.99 a la carte game.

For the extra triple sawbuck, gamers will receive a bevy of extras. The game will come bundled with a limited edition Rockstar duffel bag and a book containing "never-before-seen production artwork" from the game. Also included will be an audio CD with selections from soundtrack of the game, which is set during the present day. No specific tracks were mentioned, but Rockstar promised that it would contain "new material from top artists available only on this release."

All the aforementioned goodies will come inside the GTA IV SE's oddest extra, a fully lockable metal safety deposit box. The bundle will also contain a special keychain with keys to access said lockbox. No photos of the box have yet been made available to the press.

wow definetly gonna pre-order this,

what you guess the price is in UK, about £45, the standard IV at retail shops is £39 so thats really cheap for special edition

$90 is roughly £45, I guess it will be avalible in the UK for somewhere between £50-60.

This may mean the game will have safety deposit boxes in it for cash and gun storage?

I will definitely be getting the SE version.

Yeah, I agree. If you get a duffel bag, safety deposit box with key chain, book on the artwork, its worth the extra 30.

Can't say I'd be interested in anything but the art book, so I'll probably pass on this.

My very own safety deposit box?

Hell yeah...

Considering I would gladly pay $300.oo for a copy of the game alone, I will definately purchase this special edition.

yes, i will buy this to compensate for my small penis.

Stoners would LOVE this as the deposit box to stash their...stash.

weak

I just pre-ordered the X360 version Special Edition from GAME for £50!

preordered.

Yea, don't know about you but I wouldn't want to walk around with a GTA:IV toggle bag. *Cough* Nerd. lol.

lol, agreed. Although it just seems to me that its just another way for Rockstar to cash in on the franchise. My parents aren't rich enough/I don't have such a well paid job/drugs don't allow me to have that much to spend on a game for a bit of art and noveltys anyway.

you can pre-order now online at Rockstar's warehouse

Yeah but....is it worth it? I mean I can live with not having a duffel bag and a soundtrack, and saving $30. And im pretty sure that the day it comes out there will be 20+ people scanning all that artwork and putting it on the internet...so I think i'll pass on the special edition.
