Catherine Special Edition Includes Underwear, Pizza Box

Atlus' bizarrely intriguing Catherine is getting an equally bizarrely intriguing special edition.

Many gamers don't know what to make of Atlus' upcoming Catherine [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/109543-Atlus-New-Catherine-Screens-Tease-and-Titillate]. On the one hand, it's an adult-aimed game about sexuality and personal relationships from the studio that brought us genuinely mature gems like Persona 4. On the other, it's flippin' weird.

We do now know, however, that the game will have an appropriately weird collectors' edition. According to Atlus, gamers who buy the "Love is Over" deluxe edition version of the game ($79.99 MSRP) will receive the following:

[blockquote]-Protagonist Vincent's polka-dot boxers that he wears in the dream sequences (Men's Large).
-Vincent's "Empty Hearts" videogame-themed shirt, worn by Catherine in cutscenes (Men's Large).
-The game Catherine, for Xbox 360 or PS3 (Duh).
-A standard-sized pillowcase featuring Catherine in lingerie.
-A pizza box from the "Stray Sheep," the bar frequented by Vincent and his friends. Sadly, it does not include the pizza.[/blockquote]

Yeah, we did warn it was kind of weird, didn't we?

While Atlus warned that this special edition would be in very limited supply, it also said that people who wanted goodies could just go ahead and preorder any version of the game, whether regular or deluxe. People who preorder Catherine will get an art book and the game's soundtrack as part of the aptly named "Sound Disc & Art Book" pack.

I'm not sure about this one, Atlus. Can you guarantee that if we go to sleep wearing Vincent's boxers we won't wake up in a nightmarish reality where we need to climb a box tower in order to survive? If you can't, no sale.

Catherine hits North America on July 26th. Mark your calendars for weirdness, folks.

I burst into laughter when I saw the boxers. I don't know why I burst into laughter when I saw the boxers.

Odd.

Ehh...$20 extra?

I'll spring for it, I suppose

Just to support Atlus more. And the pizza box will make AWESOME storage, I suppose.

Sadly, the clothes won't fit me. >_>

How can a country with prostitutes and pornography still find a market for these products? Is there a shortage of women in Japan? What the hell?

I know as soon as some people hear the word Catherine and underwear, they are gonna pre-order immediately without even checking the contents of the Special Edition.

I know what I want for my birthday... (or I'd get it myself and save myself the awkward looks this game and/or the special edition would get me)

The T-shirt is nice, but the rest of those are.. kind of weird. Even for me. Would prefer the CD + artbook version.


Of course, Amazon doesn't want to ship either one to me. VGP does, nevermind.

This is just so odd that I'm very inclined to buy it (which was probably their plan all along), but since I'm very broke and since my 360 has almost no storage space left, it looks like I'll have to pass.

Capatcha: correct thishick
That's harsh Escapist. Sure I have a bit of a southern accent due to my redneck parrents, but that's just mean. I don't have any hick ticks that need a fixin'!

I'll probably just stick to the regular pre-order. Art book and soundtrack are good enough for me

I'm all for weird and unusual stuff, but that's just too weird for me. The hell am I gonna do with a pizza box that doesn't have a pizza in it?

I'm just gonna stick with with the regular pre-order thank you.

I don't even have a PS3 and I want this...

More importantly is it for everywhere or just North America?

The deluxe "love is over" version is only being offered on Amazon, which is saying: "Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S. and to APO/FPO addresses. For APO/FPO shipments, please check with the manufacturer regarding warranty and support issues."

Gamestop and VGP should ship the artbook and CD version internationally, from what I can tell.

[sub]I would order it right now, but I'm waiting for my new card after the PSN breach..[/sub]
