For $69.99, the following goodies can be yours:

• Premium, tin case
• 48-page hardcover “Art of Mass Effect 2” book
• Issue one of the Mass Effect Redemption comic book
• Bonus DVD with behind-the-scenes and making-of videos
• Unique in-game weapons and armor

And for those PC gamers looking to catch up on the space saga before the next one is released, you can pick up Mass Effect <span class="tooltip-content"> <span class='tooltip-tab-container'> <span class='tooltip-tab-wrapper active' onclick='tooltiptab(this);'><span class='tooltip-tab xbox-360'></span></span> <span class='tooltip-tab-wrapper' onclick='tooltiptab(this);'><span class='tooltip-tab PC'></span></span> </span> <span class='tooltip-active tooltip2 xbox-360'><div class='tooltip-name'><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/xbox-360/28560/mass-effect/index/" title="Mass+Effect">Mass Effect</a></div><hr /><span class='tooltip-column'><ul> <li><h6><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/xbox-360/28560/mass-effect/news/" title="Mass+Effect news">News</a></h6> (40)</li> <li><h6>Previews</h6></li> <li><h6><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/xbox-360/28560/mass-effect/review/" title="Mass+Effect review">Review</a></h6></li> </ul></span><span class='tooltip-column'><ul> <li><h6><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/xbox-360/28560/mass-effect/videos/" title="Mass+Effect videos">Videos</a></h6> (59)</li> <li><h6>Screenshots</h6></li> <li><h6><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/xbox-360/28560/mass-effect/cheats/" title="Mass+Effect cheats &amp; walkthroughs">Cheats and Walkthroughs</a></h6> (92)</li> </ul> </span><div style='clear:both;'></div></span> <span class='tooltip2 PC'><div class='tooltip-name'><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/pc/27401/mass-effect/index/" title="Mass+Effect">Mass Effect</a></div><hr /><span class='tooltip-column'><ul> <li><h6><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/pc/27401/mass-effect/news/" title="Mass+Effect news">News</a></h6> (44)</li> <li><h6>Previews</h6></li> <li><h6><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/pc/27401/mass-effect/review/" title="Mass+Effect review">Review</a></h6></li> </ul></span><span class='tooltip-column'><ul> <li><h6><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/pc/27401/mass-effect/videos/" title="Mass+Effect videos">Videos</a></h6> (32)</li> <li><h6>Screenshots</h6></li> <li><h6>Cheats and Walkthroughs</h6></li> </ul> </span><div style='clear:both;'></div></span> </span><div class="arrow"></div> for just $10 on Steam this weekend.
