SEGA has unveiled the Sonic Generations Collector's Edition today, which will be exclusively available in Europe and comes with a whole array of highly collectible 20th Anniversary Sonic the Hedgehog memorabilia, including an art book and a soundtrack in limited edition packaging.

Here's the complete list of goodies you'll find in the Sonic Generations Collector's Edition box:

  • A collectable figurine featuring both classic Sonic and modern Sonic
  • An individually numbered commemorative "Gold Ring"
  • "20 Years of Sonic Art" book
  • "20th Anniversary Sonic Soundtrack" featuring tracks handpicked by Sonic Team
  • "History of Sonic: Birth of an Icon" documentary
  • Limited edition lenticular packaging
  • Bonus additional downloadable content

No pricing had yet been confirmed, but hopefully it'll be reasonable enough for everyone to celebrate 20 years of the world's favourite blue hedgehog in style. Sonic Generations is out in November 2011.

  • Looks pretty sweet for a Sonic fan
  • Wow, really cool, SEGA know what their fans want!
  • Two words... DO WANT! O_O
  • Looks cool, but Sega should start to learn how to make good games again. Atleast this Sonic shouldn't blow.
  • Wow this is a great Special edition. a game i wanted made even better. Other developers need to take note. (Activision - COD)
  • I'm not even a major Sonic fan but I want this!
  • Thought Sonic died like 10 years ago...
  • Hope I can afford it..
  • *crosses fingers* "Please be good Please be good Please be good"
  • I really hope that this game succeeds.
  • Wonder what the downloadable content is
  • Can eggman just kill him already!
  • I'm preordering it as soon as it goes up somewhere. Because that is the best collector's edition I have seen >.>
  • "exclusively available in Europe" nooo why is it not available in the states, SEGA please bring it over here
  • Europe is getting some sweet collectors editions this year.
  • I'm not arsed for the modern parts for this game. Sonic died after it went "3D". Classic all the way for me.
  • The statue is a really cool collector's item. The ring would normally be meh the fact that it it has a production number to it makes it interesting. Everything else is just standard lol
  • actually # 17 the 3d parts are great cause unleashed was half great. im looking forward to those parts FAR more than the 2d classic parts.
  • Noooo!!! I cant take much more collectors editions, i dont get paid enough! XD really want this tho :)
  • awesome stuff shall def buy this, just hope its not a game exclusive or anything, make it available on better stores please.
  • The 10th Anniversary collectors edition on Dreamcast was totally lame in comparison to this.. Well done Sega - You still know what your fans want! Now please make a Shining Force Anniversary Collectors Edition :)
  • pretty sweet, rekon its gonna cost around £99 though
  • Very tempting, but not sure if I can afford it. I'm already buying the Collectors Edition of Skyrim and Batman:AC, and the Epic Edition of Gears 3.
  • Bought Sonic Unleashed and it sucked big massive T-Rex balls. I hope this one will be good again but i'll wait for a review :/
  • I hope Activision is taking note...
  • Now he´ll show us
  • if i could hang my keys on their fingers im getting it, please GAME sell this with the exclusive content you have it would make me so happy
  • Sonic fans all just came
  • That does actually look pretty nice!
  • i just want the ring, statue, and dlc. hopefully this game will turn out good
  • This is gonna be sweet...a collector's edition that I'm very much looking forward to buying..^^ I have a feeling that Fullmetalx is gonna buy this too...just a guess.
  • I don't need it.... I don't need it... I definently don't need it... IIIIIII NNNNEEEEEEED ITTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • How much?!?! Must have...
  • Very decent. Just climbed higher on my must have list :)
  • I could give a crap less about the game (couldn't get into the demo), but the statue is effing sweet.
  • wowowowowow
  • Dammit! I'm spending enough these next 2 months without this, I need it! Wonder what the price is gonna be?
  • Very nice, better then some dlc that's been added for collectors editions as of late.
  • Ahhhh day 1 dlc.
  • $150 USD. Everything with a statue these days is that much.
  • Europe only?! Son of a gun! I really want that! It's the first time I've actually wanted a Collector's Edition of a game.
  • Must have, but Europe only. WTF SEGA? I want a gold ring.
  • the dlc is Sonic Generations Special Edition on Xbox 360 Includes: ‘Casino Night’ Pinball Stage: Play through this iconic mini-game from ‘Sonic The Hedgehog 2’ and relive some of your favorite gaming memories in stunning HD. Super Sonic Costume: Give your avatar the ultimate make-over with the iconic ‘super transformation’ character (available for Xbox 360 only) Theme: Give your console the ultimate Sonic experience with a theme created exclusively for this pack and released on the 4th by game.co.uk no idea on this bundle price though
  • Awesome day 1 purchase for me. :)
  • Really loving the abundance of collectors editions this year.
  • This looks the tits!!! Just hope the game is good
  • This should be a good game and a sweet collection!
  • S E G A ,this looks pretty cool
  • Awesome, something we have that the US doesn't for once!
  • That is sweet as a candy sweet shop in candy land on the planet candy etc etc id love that so much as im a massive fan but i prob cant afford it. Rhe epic edition of gears is 100 so this will be around the £70 mark ;-;
  • I really want this for the theme and Super Sonic costume, but not enough to justify the likely $100 pricetag. I just don't make enough money to justify that. :/
  • Wow all of these games coming out and having serveral collector editions is unreal however I must check the price for this one to see if I want it.
  • If @44 is right about the DLC, you can pre-order Sonic Generations at Gamestop to get that DLC at least if you're outside Europe.
  • @52 Its europe only im afraid so no dollars are in question.
  • i dont want this... i NEED this, i've been a fan of the blue spike-ball since Sonic 1 on the Master System! will be getting this for certain :)
  • I've got the 10th birthday pack from the Dreamcast days... Seems only right if I buy this as well.
  • Oh Please come to Australia ;).. we normally get all the Europe only preorders....
  • Oh yeah, what is the "Bonus additional downloadable content" supposed to be?
  • Looks like a decent Collector's Edition, just hope the game itself is worthwhile. Fallen victim to the Sonic Cycle far too many times... But this one DOES look really good, like they're finally giving us what we want after so long! ;)
  • @59, 44 posted what the DLC'll be. You can also see it in the full size version of the pic in the article, here: http://images.eurogamer.net/assets/articles//a/1/3/9/7/1/8/0/sonicce.jpg.jpg I wonder though... GAME list a "Special Edition" which also includes that DLC for £34.99 but makes no mention of anything else. Surely that's not this Collector's Edition? I mean that's far too cheap.
  • If the US doesn't get this or something similar then fuck SEGA and I won't pick this up. Will be a day one if it's similar
  • @62 Hey now you know what us Euro's feel like most of the damn time, US get's so many collectors editions that we get completely shafted on. Suck it up and buy the normal edition, us Euro's will actually enjoy a collectors edition that you don't get for once.
  • Has anyone seen my wallet? Oh, looks like Sega has it.
  • @63 Too bad it works both ways. Stop playing the victim. I can name off just as many CE's you got or are getting that we didn't or were better. Deus Ex Dead Rising 2 AC: Revelations Splinter Cell: Conviction That's just off the top of my head, so how about you just clam down and stop with the biases.
  • @65 Yeah, it works both ways. But on the whole, the US gets a LOT more cool shit like this than Europe does. It's only very, very recently that we've started getting stuff you've missed out on.
  • "Which will be exclusively available in Europe" FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, Europe gets all the good stuff nowadays. Sonic Gen collectors edition, Ultimate Tenkaichi collectors edition, Xenoblade, Pandora's Tower, and The Last Story.
  • Recently is more relevant than the past so I fail to see your point. Why complain about how it was when it's fine now?
  • @65 To be fair the ones you just listed are pretty terrible imo, aside from AC: Revelations. As far as AAA games go you get a much better deal.
  • @69 You're saying they're terrible games? How are Deus Ex, Dead Rising, and Splinter Cell not AAA titles? Are you daft?
  • @65 Dead Rising 2? You got more stuff in the Zombrex edition and you also got the high stakes edition. Assassins Creed Rev? Did you see what you then got for Brotherhood? Whilst we got NOTHING apart from a DLC code. Deus Ex is just showing you that ONLY JUST are we starting to actually get some decent editions compared to you. You start whining now when we've been completely shafted for about 4 years now.
  • Want!
  • Exclusively available in Europe? What the hell? That needs to change.
  • EUUURRRROPPPPEEEEE. I may not like thats its Europe only for the good sonic game, but yeah Europe needs some props and good stuff. I WANT THAT RING AND STATUE
  • meh i want that huge statue they always use at E3 :D
  • I clicked on this topic thinking "Meh", but I took a look and now I want it. xD
  • @70 they don't have the sales to warrant being AAA. splinter cell was mediocre at best and dead rising 2 wasn't that spectacular either. very repetitive. havn't deus ex yet but i will give you the benefit of the doubt. that actually seems fairly decent
  • @77 You're flat wrong. All of those games are in the million plus club. @71 So? Why rub it in our faces like it was our fault publishers ignored Europe. You should be sympathetic that it's happening period. It's not like anyone actually sits here and says "OMFG TAKE THAT EUROPE. USA USA USA DUN DUN DUN DUN DAAAAAAN DUN DUN". Also, we did not get anything different in the Zombrex Edition and you got the Outbreak Pack. Get your facts straight and don't let bias obscure them, please.
  • @77 All of those games had AAA tier reviews as well too so.
  • CRAP!!! I didn't want to get any more Special Editions this year, but I grew up on Sonic.... Arrgh! >.
  • I may have to get this!!!
  • Any Eurobrothers wanna hook up a poor Canadian fan who loses out due to being in the North American region?
  • one word for sonic... OVERRATED
  • Before they go doing anything like this, they really need to focus on tightening up the controls. The demo of Generations felt excessively sloppy.
  • I'm not a mega sonic fan n since the megadrive they have gotten progressively worse. But I'm havin this bad boy. How cool lol
  • @ 83 two words for you SHUT UP. It looks very nice and colourful . Are you seriously saying we are going to get a version of the game that the yanks are not wow .
  • Wow this is one of the only editions of a game i want when i'm not really a huge fan of sonic
  • Crap. Only in the Friggen UK. That'll suck, dammit.
  • I want the Gold ring!
  • Amazon UK have it listed at £85.52 with an RRP of £99.99: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sonic-Generations-Collectors-Xbox-360/dp/B005LTHK76/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1315484859&sr=8-1
  • Calm the fuck down people. Both countries get cool exclusives. No reason to start a flame war over.
  • Wooooo, we actually get something decent for once. Buying this shit straight away!
  • What about us fans that stuck with you for the last 20 plus years and bought all of your gaming machines even though they began to go downhill after the Genesis because you couldn't market them properly? Where is our Collector's Edition?
  • @93 Exactly and £100!!!! I love sonic but no way is it worth that.
  • OMG *squee*! I must have this. So cool!
