The Limited Edition for Prince of Persia is one you simply can't say no to. That's because it's a free upgrade to those who pre-ordered the game. So if you pre-ordered POP, this is what you're getting. The good news is, numerous stores have surplus copies of the Limited Edition at no additional cost.
Prince of Persia: LE comes in a cardboard package designed to look like an ancient book. Inside is a standard-looking Prince of Persia game box. However, this box has a second disc. This DVD holds all of the extras for the Limited Edition.
On the DVD you'll find an interesting "Making of" feature which gives some insight into the design philosophy behind the new POP. Also included is a fairly robust digital Prima strategy guide. The only problem with this guide is that it's on a DVD, meaning that unless you have it running off a laptop, you can't play Prince and reference the guide at the same time. A digital art book showcases some of the early concept art for POP's beautifully designed world.
Lastly is the soundtrack. Six tracks from the game are provided, each played against a different piece of HD artwork. It's great to have the music from Prince offered here, but this is a DVD. That means most people can't just pop this into their car or rip the tracks to their iPod. Why not be creative and offer a free download code to your PC or just slide a soundtrack CD into the case?
Of course, there's no reason to avoid the Limited Edition. It costs nothing extra. Even if the bonus DVD isn't the best we've seen, it is free. And free stuff is always welcome at my house.
