EA have sent through word they'll be releasing a special Collector's Edition of BioWare's forthcoming action/RPG sequel, Mass Effect 2, for Australian shores at EB Games exclusively, and in limited numbers.

Available on January 28 in Australia alongside the standard edition, the Collectors' Edition of Mass Effect 2 comes in a premium, tin case and includes the full version of the game, a 48-page hardcover "Art of Mass Effect 2" book, Issue 1 of the Mass Effect Redemption comic book, and a bonus DVD with behind-the-scenes and making-of videos. In addition, the Mass Effect 2 Collectors' Edition will include unique in-game weapons and armour that can only be obtained by purchasing this version.

Sounds pretty cool. We have some images of packaging of the CE as well as the armour you can view right here.

Mass Effect 2 is due to release on PC and Xbox 360 January 31, 2010, in Australia. We also have a new video showcasing some of the baddies you'll be facing throughout the game, which you can view right here.
