‘Dragon Age: Origins’ Collector’s Edition!
After a long day at work, I had this to come home to:

Yes, that’s the shiny, shiny, shiny Collector’s Edition of Dragon Age: Origins for Xbox 360. Yay! So why did I get the 360 version of this multi-platform game? See the sticker on the right-hand side, the one mentioning the Mass Effect 2 in-game item? Yeah…
For those of you wondering what the Dragon Age: Origins Collectors Edition for the Xbox 360 looks like, I took pictures!
After taking the plastic slip cover off the metal case:

Pretty! But what’s inside?

Working from the top of the picture down, the Xbox 360 version comes with a cloth map of the Dragon Age: Origins world, instruction booklet, and a bunch of downloadable content, including:
- Bergen’s Honor item
- Final Reason item
- Grimoire of the Frozen Wastes item
- The Stone Prisoner downloadable quest with downloadable character Shale
- Blood Dragon Armor for both Dragon Age: Origins and Mass Effect 2
- Feral Wolf Charm and Memory Band (doesn’t really count as these are exclusive in-game items for those who reserved their copies at GameStop)
The CD you see is the bonus disc, which includes:
- Making-of featurette
- Concept art montage
- Game soundtrack
- Wallpapers
- Strategy video
That should be enough to keep this BioWare fangirl occupied, no?
I haven’t played enough of the game to form an opinion on it, but look for a review on the main page soon! For those curious, I’m playing as a human female mage named Revan–because I lack imagination.
And this last picture is just me bragging:

Too bad there wasn’t a collector’s edition for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic…
Again, look for a Dragon Age: Origins review soon!

Sweet. I’m such a fan of the collectors edition of the steel case!
anything from bioware is a must. end of story
Contrary to popular belief, the “special in-game” mass effect 2 item comes on all of the games platforms (PC, 360, and PS3). Yes, you’ll need a 360 to play Mass Effect 2, but you don’t need to buy DA:O on 360 to get the item.
