This digital release includes all of the digital offerings outlined for the Collector's Edition, the artbook, soundtrack, skins, skill, and theme, and it is currently available for pre-order from the PlayStation Store at $69.99.

Furthermore, there are are a number of incentives for pre-ordering either of these special editions or the standard release.
