Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood gets Collectors’ Edition, creepy Jack in the Box included

It’s my opinion that collectors’ editions live and die by how cool the extra freebies are, and if we’re going by that criteria then the one for Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood is about as cool as they come. Money-wise, though, it’s a bit more expensive than your usual CE.

While most special editions have around US$ 20 tacked on to the regular retail price, Ubisoft is adding an extra US$ 40 to Brotherhood‘s. For US$ 99.99, you get an exclusive art book, a bonus disc with a making-of video, preview of the comic, trailers, and the game soundtrack. Two exclusive single-player maps and a hard copy strategy map of Rome are also included along with a creepy little Jack in the Box.

You can also get a different Jack in the Box depending where you buy the CE from. The Harlequin model is a GameStop exclusive while the Doctor will be available in all other retailers. They all become availabe on November 16.
