    What? No Figure?

    Sega! You Have Failed me for...... Ummm I've lost count, and I doubt this is the last time...

    Seriously though Sega, I adore figures with my Special Editions, and when I heard that at least one region's Special Edition might be coming with a figure, I was super excited....

    Or did they dump that idea entirely already, and the figures are just being sold separately? #bayonetta

    @Cptn.PaxtonAstypalaea(Corsair): I am sure some plastic figures freaks in Japan have already started making their own, and those Bayonettas will be in explicit poses that you can't even imagine ;) Too bad they don't have that for the JP edition...

    What should even be in a Bayonetta Special Edition? A gun replica? Concept art book with a cover immitating hair? The game isn't guaranteed to sell ALOT of copies, and it's not a franchise with a huge following, it's simply a game that might be successful and that's gotten high praise. This special edition is pretty damn good on its own. #bayonetta

    @Ashurahori: "Concept art book with a cover immitating hair?"

    That's certainly more inventive than "art book". It's like they aren't even trying anymore. Special editions aren't very special anymore, I'm afraid. But if you are a fan, go for it. I'm definitely getting the Mass Effect "limited" edition. #bayonetta

    @heretrix: @xxXX_Insanities_Birth_XXxx: Limited editions with ALOT of stuff are normally reserved for games which are bound to sell millions. Halo 3 and Modern Warfare can take the cost of making those. A game like Bayonetta, cannot. Sorry, guys. It's just cheaper that way. And I know that a key ring, or more songs on the OST CD would be good, but hey, look on the bright side. At least they're not just sticking it on a shiny case and moving along.

    90% of the time, I ALWAYS go for the normal editions. Why? Special editions not only take up space, but the trash that comes with them isn't worth it, and sometimes, the "special" boxes they come in look awful standing next to your other games. My Halo 3 metal box stands out like a sore thumb and the crappy disc placement means the discs are constantly in danger of getting scratched. When Bayonetta comes out, I'll be going for a normal edition. Anyone who doesn't go for alot of games and gives Bayonetta a SPECIALLY good look, might want some more stuff. #bayonetta

    I take it the soundtrack is basically Rodin's Selection? It was six tracks long, so that's just my guess. In any case, the folks over on the PlatinumBlog are clamoring for something awesome. We'll probably see something pretty neat thanks to the fan support the game has gotten on the boards.

    So Bayonetta slips out of her hair quite often and gets a slipcase. Wonder what would compel them to give a tincase? #bayonetta

    Given the sexual appeal of Bayonetta (to some) and their extreme marketing of it, I feel like this special edition should come with either a pair of Bayonetta spectacles or a "slightly used" panty. #bayonetta
