2K Announces Duke Nukem Forever Balls of Steel Edition

The Duke Nukem Forever Balls of Steel edition has been announced, a big brassy box that includes postcards, stickers, a hardcover book, a numbered certificate of authenticity and a whole bunch of other stuff that'll make you a sure-fire hit with the ladies.

Was there ever any doubt that Gearbox [http://www.amazon.com/Duke-Nukem-Forever-Xbox-360/dp/B002I0HAC6/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1297451060&sr=8-2-fkmr0] would go about commemorating the release of the most famously delayed videogame in history. The answer: with balls of steel!

The Duke Nukem Forever Balls of Steel edition is one seriously impressive package. It comes with a bust of the man himself (that's some kind of bust, alright), a 100-page book entitled The History, Legacy and Legend: Duke Nukem Forever Art From the Vault, a series of postcards showing off a few of Duke's many accomplishments, a radioactive emblem sticker, a DNF comic book, DNF foldable paper craft, DNF poker chips, a deck of DNF playing cards and DNF radioactive emblem dice, all stuffed into a huge DNF box and accompanied by a numbered certificate of limited-edition DNF authenticity.

And how much will all this mind-blowing Dukeness cost, you wonder? Amazon currently has the Balls of Steel [http://www.amazon.com/Duke-Nukem-Forever-Balls-Xbox-360/dp/B003O6E8UA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1297451060&sr=8-1] edition listed at $99.99 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and $89.99 for the PC, compared to $59.99 for the standard console release ($49.99 for PC.) Wow! That actually seems pretty reasonable. I just hope the game lives up to it.

After 14 years in development, Duke Nukem Forever is finally coming out on May 6 for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Curious y it doesn't come with a pair of steel balls. XD

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Wow....that's a sweet CE.

 

[ultimateownage]

£56.19? I am SO getting that!

 

[Sun Flash]

So if they keep that price for the british release, that's £65? for a game that would otherwise cost £40? That's getting bought!


The King. Hail Him.

Come on, they could have tossed in two steel balls!

 

[Vanbael]

Nah the balls of steel are represented by a pair of snake eyes on the dice. But I would find every penny worth it for all of that.

 

[Triforceformer]

Well an actual pair of balls of steel would have just come off as tacky, really. You can't frame ball bearings, after all. I'll wait for my FAC Early Demo to come out before deciding which platform to get the Balls of Steel Edition. I know I'm getting it, I just don't know which platform.

 

[Monshroud]

That sounds like a great value for the extra money. That is if the bust is actually made from a good material. If it is just junk vacuformed plastic, then it could suck.

Will probably pre-order this edition for the PC though.

 

[rockingnic]

I would get this if I wasn't cheap enough to only get the regular edition... It would have been funny if they added some DNF condoms or something >_>

You sir have just made this thread even more Duke. *Claps

I disappoint at the lack of balls of steel. Nevertheless that looks like a good deal and the playing cards would surely win over the ladies. And by the ladies, I mean the woman's right activists complaining over the nudity.

 

[Irridium]

I still say they should have announced this game on April 1st.

Oh boy, that would've been hilarious.

Still, neat looking special edition. But no "making of" DVD's? I wanna see behind the scenes dammit!

 

[CNKFan]

I will preorder this thing as hard as I can preorder anything.

 

[MentalBakura]

That bust is pretty much the pinnacle of manliness.

 

[the_pleasure_is_mine]

Do... want...

I hope this comes to the UK D:
