The sequel to 2007’s amazing underwater shooter is coming up soon - making its debut on February 9, 2009. Fans looking for the ultimate package on day one can spring for the Special Edition, which will reportedly include the game, the game’s soundtrack and an art book, along with a vinyl LP of the original BioShock soundtrack and three sweet-looking posters done up in the “Rapture propaganda” style. The package will run you $99.99 for the Xbox 360 or PS3 version, and $89.99 for the PC iteration.

It looks like 2K Marin is avoiding the Big Daddy figurines (some of which famously shipped broken with the original game’s Special Edition), but it looks like a nice collection either way. The music alone (especially the OST on vinyl!) is intriguing, and the posters are definitely drool-worthy.

The game itself is looking good - it probably won’t be quite the revolutionary experience that the first was, but I know I’m excited to visit Rapture again.
