Here’s a shocker! A new game in a popular franchise from a large publisher getting a Limited Edition? No Way! Anyway, The much-anticipated Xbox 360 exclusive will be available on 23 February next year, and released alongside the regular version of the game will be a “very limited†Collector’s Edition.
The Splinter Cell : Conviction CE is absolutely packed with both digital and real life treats, details of which you can find after the jump.
In The CE You’ll find
- A credit card-sized 3rd Echelon USB drive filled with a bunch of Splinter Cell media
- A hard-bound copy of "Fifth Freedom: The Art of Splinter Cell"
- Two in-game items: the MP5-SD3 submachine gun and a 3rd Echelon outfit for multiplayer
- "3rd Echelon Logo" and "Iconic Bullet Hole" decals
- The "Digging in the Ashes" comic book
- A Metallic steel DVD-case
We’ve spoken to the local distributors to see if it’ll be available on our shores, but they’re unable to confirm at the moment. Once they know, we’ll know – and once we know, you’ll know. Thankfully with the game being published by Ubisoft as opposed Microsoft, we’ll actually get the promised extras – should we get it at all.

Don’t know how true this is but got it off gamespot.

After many delays, Splinter Cell: Conviction got a firm release date on the Xbox 360 and PC last week, when Ubisoft announced that the Tom Clancy-inspired stealth action adventure would debut February 23. Ubisoft will apparently be commemorating the game’s launch with a special-edition package, if a product listing for a Splinter Cell: Conviction Collector’s Edition in Australian retailer JB Hi-Fi’s online database is to be believed.
Nobody boxes in Sam Fisher…except Ubisoft.
According to the listing, the special-edition Splinter Cell: Conviction package has many of the customary pack-ins associated with premium game bundles. Namely, the Collector’s Edition includes a “making of” DVD, a 32-page comic book that recounts the intervening in-game period between 2006’s well-received Splinter Cell Double Agent and Conviction, as well as exclusive in-game content.
That’s not all, though, because the product listing indicates that the Collector’s Edition will also include a figurine of grizzled protagonist Sam Fisher. As one more added perk, the package will apparently also include a free download for 2005’s well-rated Splinter Cell Chaos Theory through Xbox Live, which is otherwise available for 1,200 MSP ($15).
The Xbox 360 version of the Splinter Cell: Conviction Collector’s Edition pack is currently listed for A$119.00 ($103), with the PC installment falling in at A$99.00 ($86). However, it is worth noting that Australian games often bear a substantial markup. Ubisoft North America reps had not responded to GameSpot’s request for additional details and pricing information for the Collector’s Edition as of press time.

If your gun in a game relies on one bit of equipment, you might wanna re-examine things. This game looks truly stellar, and you’ll let the lack of one thing put you off? For shame.

I *think* he was referring to the lack of an actual, physical sticky cam in the CE.
Which would have BEEN GODDAMNED AWESOME.

Oops, sorry about that. I thought you were refering to the way that Sam uses glass to see under doors instead of an optical wire, and the like. Humble apologies

No worries ClericZA. Still, can you imagine if they did give us a sticky camera in the LE! :w00t:
