Sony and Insomniac Games are getting ready to debut the brand new Resistance 3 first-person shooter for the PlayStation 3 in September, so the companies have now presented the various special editions that can be purchased by eager fans.

Resistance 3 is the newest installment in the retro sci-fi shooter series developed by Insomniac Games, and the third iteration on the PlayStation 3 in the franchise, this time depicting a brand new protagonist, Joseph Capelli, who needs to fight against the evil Chimera monsters.

We've already seen the pre-order bonuses for the game be revealed a few months ago, and now, Sony has released more details and a video about the special editions that are available besides the regular Resistance 3.

First up, we have the accurately named Resistance 3 Special Edition, which comes with all the pre-order items, including the SRPA Black Ops skin, Infected Nathan Hale skin, Air Fuel Grenade, Special multiplayer title: “Sentinel,” Multiplayer booster, and the special, physical Chimera tooth necklace.

Besides all these extra items, the Special edition is packed in a SteelBook case, while the Blu-ray disc on which the game is printed on has a special vinyl effect, making it similar to old discs, as you can see in the image to the left.

For those who want an even more special Resistance 3 experience, Sony is offering the Survivor Edition, pictured in the first image above, which includes not just the Special Edition, but also some extra physical items, including:

-Canvas satchel: Capelli’s rugged and reliable satchel, ideal for long journeys across the ravaged American landscape. -Chimera firing range target: Know your enemy; perfect your aim or take out your frustrations on this life-size Chimera target poster. -“Fight for Freedom” toy soldiers: Play out the battle on a small scale with these toy soldiers depicting Joseph Capelli and Chimera fighters. -Joseph Capelli’s Journal: Read Capelli’s notes on the journey ahead of him, the enemies he’ll face and the weapons he’ll use – and start writing your own story as you fight the Chimera. -SRPA hip flask: Keep the cold at bay or give yourself the courage to fight on with this standard issue SRPA soldier’s hip flask. -SRPA playing cards: Pass the time between battles with this deck of SRPA soldier’s playing cards.
