Oh. My. Skyrim.

Bethesda made it’s latest earth shattering announcement – they will be releasing an extremely limited edition version of Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim.

A collector’s edition !!!!

This is quite possibly the most massive collector’s edition any video game has ever seen. What does it include? Let’s take an in-depth look at what is CE masterpiece edition of Skyrim has to offer.

Beat the crowds and get Diablo(R) III before anyone else.

First off, let’s answer the obvious questions.

Is a collector’s edition available on multiple platforms?

YES. The Skyrim Collector’s edition will be available on the PC, Xbox 360, and the PS3.

When will the Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim Collector’s Edition be available?

The CE release date will fall in line with the Skyrim release date which is currently scheduled for November 11th, 2011.

So, what the heck is so awesome about this extra special collector’s edition?

• A Statue of Alduin. A mastercrafted 12″ statue modeled from 3D art from the Elder Scrolls V in-game graphics.
• Skyrim Art. A beautifully made 200 page fully illustrated coffee table book (9 3/8″ x 12 1/8″) which will have a huge variety of Skyrim art such as weapons, characters, wild life, and terrain.
• A special “Making of Skyrim” DVD which will include special behind-the-scenes video and exclusive interviews with Bethesda developers and staff who provide never before seen interviews about Skyrim gameplay, story, settings, lore, and the creation of the entire Elder Scrolls series.

Sounds pretty great, huh? Unfortunately, the collector’s edition doesn’t come without sacrifice. The expected retail price for this special edition of Skyrim will come at an unheard of price tag of $150.

No pain, no gain though, right?

Regardless of the surprising price, chances are I’ll be updating my pre-order shortly to get my hands on these special goodies!
