WWE ’13 Goes Stone Cold with Collector’s Edition (VIDEO)

The Collector's Edition of THQ's WWE '13 is going to be full on, all out Stone Cold. Steve Austin was the most important figure during WWE's celebrated "Attitude Era" of the late 1990s and since that period is front and center in the new video game, Stone Cold, it seems, must get the star treatment all over again. If you're a fan of SCSA and a fan of WWE games in general, this might be the ultimate collection of goodies.

• Exclusive foil packaging featuring embossed Stone Cold Steve Austin skull
• Exclusive collectible art card personally autographed by Stone Cold Steve Austin
• Exclusive Stone Cold Steve Austin in-game attire: red skull t-shirt (circa 2001)
• Exclusive Stone Cold Steve Austin in-game ATV ring entrance
• "Stone Cold Steve Austin: The Bottom Line on the Most Popular Superstar of All Time"(DVD)
• Disc #4 in series (available to PlayStation 3 system and Xbox 360 customers)
• Copy of WWE '13 videogame
• Access to WWE Hall of Famer and WWE '13 global pre-order offer Mike Tyson playable character

I got as excited as you all probably did when I read the line about the red skull t-shirt. Then I smirked in disgust when I realized it's a t-shirt for the in-game Stone Cold character. Ridiculous. Also note that you'll get in-game Mike Tyson (an overrated part of the Attitude Era if you ask me) included in this collector's edition just as if you'd pre-ordered it weeks ago...when they first offered Tyson as part of the deal. All of these nickels and dimes will surely add up and keep THQ comfortable for at least the next 10 weeks.
