If everything had gone to plan, you’d be playing Naughty Dog’s PlayStation 3 swansong The Last of Us this month, but for an extra dash of polish the game’s been delayed until the middle of June. Probably a good thing, because it’ll give you a time to save up some extra cash for the game’s swanky Collector’s Editions.
The game will be coming with two different special editions, even though they’re essentially the same thing.
The Joel and Ellie editions, both priced at R795 (pre-order from BTGames), are mere mirror images, focused on a different protagonist. They include include an art book, wallpaper, comic, soundtrack and SackBoy(or Girl!) for LittleBigPlanet – as well as some DLC.
- Survival DLC Pack
Multiplayer bonuses:
Bonus XP
Melee booster
In-game currency
Customisable character items
Bonus Joel and Ellie skins available once the single player game is completed.
- Sights and Sounds DLC Pack
Official game soundtrack by Academy Award-winning musician Gustavo Santaolalla
PS3 Dynamic Theme
PSN avatars: Winter Joel and Ellie
The game will hit your PS3 on June 14, right after E3 ends. I really hope it lives up to its promise – or is at least better than Uncharted 3, a game I really didn’t like very much.

Hmm, I wonder how many people will not buy this because PS4 is incomming.

People will probably not get a console just to play it, but I doubt it will influence sales of the actual game. We don’t stop playing games just because we’re waiting for a new console.

Nope not worth the extra money, this is one game I do not want a boost in, but the extras are awesome. Pre-ordered already, yeaaa booi!!

Rather wait for the PS4 HD version unless you’re hardcore PS3 gamer.

You PS3 fanboys are lucky indeed. Just sad that out of the 70million consoles only around 4 million copies will be sold. I will never understand that.

The Joel and Ellie editions come with the ps3 controllers in the vid?
R795 for a game, a controller and goodies?

It’s a skin you stick over your current control apparently.

Yeah, it is kinda dof. The reason I got the SE is for the Soundtrack. I love me some gaming soundtracks!

I’ll stick to the regular version they release – every time I buy a special edition or collectors edition, the free book, figure or whatever just ends up in the box again. The only LE goodies I actually display in my house are the figures from Metal Gear Solid 4 and Metal Gear Rising LE’s…
