Journey: Collector's Edition announced

[noiseredux]

from Joystiq:

Journey Collector's Edition's contents got a lot clearer this morning, as thatgamecompany revealed the box art and more details on its website. The collection comprises all three thatgamecompany PSN games – Flow, Flower, and Journey – and also includes a one-month PS Plus membership, "exclusive mini games," creator commentary audio tracks, soundtracks for all three games, and a variety of other bonuses (the full list is below the break).

The re-release launches on August 28 for $30 in North America ("info for additional territories to be announced soon"), and the minigames are described as "three exclusive mini-games born out of a thatgamecompany tradition: the 24hr Game Jam." The three games, "Gravediggers," "Nostril Shot," and "Duke War!!," were each created by TGC "start to finish in 24 hours," and their release with this collection marks the first time the trio can be played (except for those who played the games while visiting TGC).

There's also reversible cover art on the box – TGC's first physical release – which excites us greatly. Remember that sweet Ico/Shadow of the Colossus reversible cover art? That was pretty much the best. We're hoping this woos us even more.

•30-minute behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of Journey
•Creator Commentary play-throughs of all three games
•Three exclusive mini-games from thatgamecompany
•Concept art and screenshot galleries for all three games
•Original soundtracks for all three games

WANT.

Neat. I haven't played Journey yet. I'll definitely grab this; especially since it comes on a disc.

I wouldn't have figured a $30 compilation of games available already as a system seller

In any case, I am happy to pick this up upon release, even though I have all of the main releases already.

Hmm learn something new every day I guess. I played it on psp so I just figured it was exclusive.

Well it looks like I'll be getting this then since I only have journey.

Flower is a real treat of a game too, IMO.
