The lights are on
Technically it's called the "Professional Edition," but we know what they really mean.
It will include a premium hardcover art book with a foreword from Game Director Tore Blystad, an exclusive behind-the-scenes “making of” video, and it's all packaged in a fancy clamshell.
Absolution will also have retail specific pre-order bonuses depending on where you want to pick up your game from. Here's the list:
Amazon
Best Buy
GameStop
Walmart
You can see the pre-order bonuses in picture form in the gallery below. According to Square Enix, more pre-order bonuses will be announced next month.
Hitman: Absolution will be available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC sometime this year.

Still need to beat Hitman: Blood Money...
Weapons looks rad.
I was hoping this game would get a CE. I'm just hoping it will be $80. I refuse to buy any CE that's above 80 unless the extra content is worth it, and it usually is not...
just STOP it with the stupid preorder bonus ingame content. This is why I love Wii games, because its like the old days where everything is already in the game, and you unlock it with hard work. Non of this preorder garbage.
I heard there's also a bonus, where you get jacked from behind and some tattoo's a barcode on the back of your head. That's the Ultra Professional Edition.
I have to say it will be $70
I just preordered this yesterday, nice to see what I'm getting.
Now they just need to announce the price and release date and I MIGHT consider it.
Hitman kinda fell off my radar for a bit there... Another one to look forward to this year!
That's some nice looking stuff.
Forgot this game was even coming out this year, I guess another one to add to the list
If they would actually ship it in some sort of carrying case-like case and therefore give you more physical content, I'd consider it. I'm a bit spoiled by the physical content you get from Assassin's Creed special editions, it seems. I need to see more gameplay videos, too, before I decide if I'll spend money on this game. I'm not exactly a fan of the gameplay featured in previous games.
*gives each pre-order bonus weapon a once-over* Can't say any are particularly desirable. Surprised they didn't go with fan favorites to entice buyers... but I suppose kudos for not.
No REAL guns? Darn.
OHH YESS GIVE IT TO ME IT LOOKS SO SO SO YUMMY PLEASE JUST A TAST!
