EA Announces That Dead Space Has Gone Gold

The Award-Winning Sci-Fi Survival Horror Game Ships to Retailers on Oct. 14

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS), announced today that Dead Space™, the highly anticipated new survival horror game, has gone gold and will ship in North America on October 14 for the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system and PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system. The PC version will ship on October 20. Dead Space will be in stores in Europe on October 24 for the Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3 system and the PC.

Players who buy the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 versions of the game within the first two weeks of the game’s release will have the opportunity to download a platform exclusive suit. Xbox 360 fans can download the Xbox-themed Elite Suit* on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace and PLAYSTATION 3 fans can download the PlayStation-themed Obsidian Suit* on the PLAYSTATION®Network. Both of these suits will feature new looks and increased toughness and inventory slots, to help players fight for survival in the Dead Space universe.

In addition, for Xbox 360 owners in North America, the EA Store™ is offering a very limited run of 1000 copies of the Dead Space Ultra Limited Edition. This package contains a copy of the game, Dead Space Downfall Animated Movie on DVD, bonus content DVD, 97-page art book, the 160-page graphic novel (which combines all six issues of the Dead Space comics), exclusive lithograph illustrated and individually signed by Ben Templesmith, and an Ishimura crew patch, all sealed in a limited edition Dead Space packaging. The Dead Space Ultra Limited Edition can be ordered through the EA Store and will ship on October 14.

The bold and often bloody Dead Space promises to deliver the ultimate in psychological terror and gruesome cinematic action. Set in the cold blackness of deep space, the atmosphere in Dead Space is soaked with a feeling of tension, dread and sheer terror. In Dead Space, players step into the role of mining engineer Isaac Clarke, an ordinary man on a seemingly routine mission to fix the communications systems aboard a deep space mining ship. It’s not long before Isaac awakes to a living nightmare filled with vicious genetic mutations inside a dead, claustrophobic silence. Now Isaac is cut off, trapped, and engaged in a desperate fight for survival.

Under development at EA Redwood Shores, Dead Space has been rated M for Mature with descriptors of Blood and Gore, Intense Violence and Strong Language by the ESRB and 18+ for PEGI. Dead Space will be available for MSRP $59.99 on the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 system and MSRP $49.99 for the PC. The Dead Space Ultra Limited Edition will be available on the Xbox 360 for MSRP $149.95. For more information about the game, go to the website at http://www.deadspacegame.com or http://info.ea.com.

Oh god. Thats the part that needed to be bolded.

Who cares? It's a limited version of the game that very few people will buy, plus it's old news. I'm bolding what's new or what really matters.

I don't mind the idea of free DLC skins for early adopters, no-one can begrudge the industry for wanting to increase early sales (especially in such a busy business period) but the fact these suits alter the gameplay whilst seemingly adding a glorified "easy mode" to the game.... that's the part I don't like.

yeah i heard about the insane SUPER DELUXE EDITION on tv and my first reaction was it must come with a lifesize model of the Deep Space ship.

It's not mandatory. How's about not downloading it if bothers you so much?

I don't see how any reasonable person can find this to be a negative.

Its a personal choice, hell some can argue that thematically the 360 suit is more appropriate. Either way its clear, there are very few things that would be more wasteful than spending caring about this.

The PS3 exclusive suit reminds me of Daft Punk. :lol I don't really like either suit, but it's a cool bonus.

It's pretty lame that the PC version doesn't get a wacky suit. I mean, really, it's a very minor issue, but something that actually affects gameplay is different to something that's purely cosmetic, which I wouldn't care about at all.

Lets get some jokes in here.

-PS3 suit better have some more inventory slots because it's so HUEG
-360 suit will sometimes go into overheat mode and glow red

I can't think of anymore, I know they are horrible but I want to see more :lol

They're palette swaps. They look exactly the same except for the color. Man, fuck EA.

Why though, isn't it a free download for early adopters, or am I reading that wrong? I don't really have a problem with that, considering its a singelplayer game.

Take a closer look. The textures are different as well. Not a too simple hack-job...

And dont forget that you can basically get only one of them, and each has the same "bonus ability".

--> They are meant to be similar! -.-

I thought that at first too, but there are differences. The PS3 one has buckles across the legs, the 360 one has wells of color.
