Two collector's editions have been revealed today for Borderlands 2, which releases this fall on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.  The Deluxe Vault Hunter’s Collector's Edition and Ultimate Loot Chest Limited Edition will set you back $99.99 and $149.99 respectively.  Both editions are loaded with goodies for one of this year's biggest co-op games.

 The Vault Hunter's Edition includes a copy of Borderlands 2; authentic Marcus Kincaid bobblehead; Inside the Vault: The Art & Design of Borderlands 2 hardbound book; collectable sticker set; map of Pandora; digital comic download code; and bonus downloadable in-game digital content.

The Ultimate Loot Chest includes all of the Vault Hunter's items, plus a collectable scaled replica of the red loot chests found throughout Pandora in Borderlands 2; steel book case; Creatures of Pandora wide-format ID chart; lithograph postcard set; field notes from Sir Hammerlock; cloth map of Pandora; and a numbered certificate of authenticity.

But wait...there's more!  

If you pre-order at "participating" retailers you'll also get access to the Borderlands 2 Premiere Club.   Members of the club will be able to download the Gearbox Gun Pack, a Golden Key, the Vault Hunter’s Relic and an all-new fifth character class - the Mechromancer. 

The Golden Key is used to unlock a rare in-game item in the mysterious Golden Sanctuary Loot Chest found in Borderlands 2. The Vault Hunter’s Relic is an in-game item that boosts players’ gear-hunting fortune while playing solo or teaming up with friends. The Mechromancer character class will be available following launch when development of the character is complete and is free to those who pre-order Borderlands 2, and will be available for purchase for those who do not. 

And there ya have it.  Sadly Gearbox didn't randomly generate a bazillion weapons to include in the loot box.  Now that would have been cool!

Borderlands 2 is set for a September 18th release.  It features four player co-op, including two player local and combo co-op.  You can pre-order the game right now from Amazon and support Co-Optimus!

Very tempting, but I have to stick with just the normal game, I would much rather have money to get a second game vs throwing down tons of money on just one.... but good lord it is tempting.

That stuff isn't worth the extra $90 to me.

I may go with the standard CE, but there's no way I can get the Ultimate CE. I have to agree with the general sentiment. That's some cool stuff, but I don't know that it's worth paying 2.5x the cost of the game. I'm a huge supporter of Borderlands, but I never have liked the $150 CE's. It's just asking far too much.

I just saw in a pic that was allegedly realeased by Gearbox of a small dog sitting in one of the loot chests.. It looks to be about the size of your keyboard and sits maybe 5 inches high.. I knew it was unrealistic to hope for bigger but any temptation I had to drop the big money is gone now. I don't need a fancy pencil case. If it was about twice the size, I could put my pc accessories/cables in it when I travel.. but this is just too small /.. That said, definitely still gonna preorder the standard edition.. can't wait for the game
