Aliens vs Predator Hunter Edition
Sega2/16/2010Americas

The Aliens vs Predator Hunter Edition on Playstation 3 understood something most collector's editions don't: the collectible should be the thing people talk about for years. A fully articulated Facehugger model anchors this package, and if you've ever displayed one on a shelf next to unsuspecting guests, you already know the effect it has. It's grotesque, it's perfect, and it's become one of the PS3 era's most recognizable collector's pieces.

This variant includes a SteelBook game case with a plastic slip cover, adding an extra layer of display quality to the package. The SteelBook elevates the shelf presence beyond what the standard case offers, giving the whole set a more cohesive, premium look. Alongside it, four early-access multiplayer maps (Docks, Outpost, Machine, and Hive) gave owners a head start in the online trenches.

The hardcover Dark Horse graphic novel delivers the original Aliens vs. Predator comic series, the crossover that started everything before Hollywood got involved. Combined with a Weyland-Yutani sleeve badge and a 3D lenticular postcard, the physical contents here tell a complete story from source material to in-universe branding.

For collectors who care about the intersection of gaming and film memorabilia, the Hunter Edition occupies rare territory. The Facehugger transcends its role as a pack-in bonus and functions as standalone display art. The SteelBook anchors the gaming side. Together, they make this one of the most well-rounded PS3 collector's editions for franchise enthusiasts. It's a package that respects the source material as much as the players.
