Most, if not all, limited editions usually add around US$ 10 to a game's retail price. Not so with Arc System Works' home console versions of BlazBlue. See, Aksys is taking different approach. Instead of charging a premium for the limited edition, those who pre-order the game will get it for free.

The BlazBlue limited edition will also come with a two-disc soundtrack featuring 48 songs by Guilty Gear composer Daisuke Ishiwatari. What's probably even tastier for fighting game fans is a bonus video disc containing "basic tutorials, expert advice, and character-specific strategies". Wow, a bonus disc that may actually come in handy!

You can now pre-order BlazBlue at GameStop, GameCrazy, and Amazon.com for US$ 59.99. The Limited Edition upgrade is for the first run only, so once that runs out you'll be getting the normal version. The game will be released on June 30 for the Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 consoles.
