This is what the Heavy Rain CE looks like when you open it

Last month we saw and heard about the Europe-exclusive Heavy Rain Collectors' Edition. Today SCEE let loose an image giving us a closer look at the special edition and its contents.


heavy-rain-ce

 

As you can see above, the CE's fancy gatefold cover comes with a promo code for the game's DLC (including a downloadable soundtrack and an XMB theme), a little origami piece resembling the one on the game's cover, and a big fold-out covered in notes. The gatefold cover has also been treated to give off the illusion that the raindrops on it are "real".

 

Sadly enough for North American gamers, this sweet piece of merchandise is Europe-only. Those who want it can order one from HMV for GB£ 40. Heavy Rain comes out February 23 in North America, February 24 in mainland Europe and February 26 in the UK.

That fold-out would make for a great poster.

At least PS3 Games are region free right?, so buying the europe version for plating it un US consoles is not an insane idea.

Sorry bud, but as far as I know NA games only share a Region code with Japan not EU, so no you can't import this one.

Already got it pre-ordered. Hellz yeah!
I thought the soundtrack would come on a CD. The fact that you have to download it is a bit of a bummer, but oh well, as long as I get it some how :D

Well I guess I stand corrected. I did go to the playstation forums, and some people are confused about it also, so I guess I personally won't know until I try.

should know that if you buy the EU version of the game, you will also have to buy any DLC from the EU PlayStation store.

PS3 games are currently region free but DLC is region locked to the BLES (or BLUS in America) code of the game.

If you buy DLC from the US store for an EU copy of the game, it won't work and you probably won't get a refund either.
