Dead Space Goes Gold

The highly anticipated space shooter, Dead Space has gone gold and will be appearing on store shelves at random times this month depending on which platform you use, and where you live. October 14th will be the day for North American console owners, the 20th for North American PC gamers. Europeans will have to wait till October 24th to get their hands on the title.

“Players who buy the Xbox 360 and PS3 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 PS3 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.”

Expect to be trampled as people run to get their paws on the Ultra Limited Edition–it even feels badass just saying that.
