Steins;Gate (Limited Edition)
6/23/2011REGION 2

This is the collector's edition that lets you literally become a Future Gadget Lab member. The Steins;Gate Limited Edition on PSP shipped with a lab coat sized for approximately 5'8" male height and a pair of slippers featuring the Mirai Gadget Kenkyuujo logo in kanji, turning your living room into an extension of Akihabara's most eccentric research facility.

Steins;Gate is one of the most celebrated visual novels ever made, a time-travel narrative that earned its reputation through genuinely brilliant writing and characters that lodge themselves permanently in your memory. The Limited Edition understood that fans didn't just want to play through Okabe Rintaro's story. They wanted to inhabit it. The lab coat is the signature garment of the self-proclaimed mad scientist himself, and wearing it while playing through the game on your PSP is exactly the kind of immersive experience that collector's editions should aspire to. The slippers, branded with the lab's logo, complete the cosplay-at-home energy in a way that's equal parts ridiculous and endearing.

For visual novel collectors and Steins;Gate fans, this Limited Edition is a grail. Wearable pack-ins from Japanese limited editions are notoriously hard to find in good condition years later, and the lab coat in particular has become a sought-after piece of Steins;Gate memorabilia. The PSP hosted some of the most creative limited editions in gaming history, and one that ships a full costume might be the most committed of them all. El Psy Congroo.
