Saints Row: The Third 'Platinum Pack' revealed

360 News | OTT overdose.

Saints Row is aware of its target audience and what they want - something over the top and a little bit wild. That's exactly what you'll be getting with Saints Row: The Third later this year, and if you have a bit of extra cash, you'll be getting a whole lot more in the 'Platinum Pack'.

This super special edition was announced on the official website, but Australian retailers haven't picked up on it yet. A quick check of the local online stores came up with nothing. EB Games managed to get their usual exclusive deal for Saints Row 2, so the same might happen again - maybe give them a call. But what does it look like?

With a price of US $99.99 slapped on the box, here's what inside:

Exclusive Custom Molded Saints Row Headset: High-quality headphones with vocoder voice processing feature, inspired by the premiere pimp in Saints Row: The Third, Zimos. Call a friend and switch-on the effect to speak with a digitized voice of the stars. For use with 3.5MM audio input and smart-phone devices only. Headset is NOT COMPATIBLE WITH Xbox LIVE / PLAYSTATION NETWORK.
Professor Genki Hyper-Ordinary Pre-Order Pack: Featuring in-game items from Professor Genki’s Super Ethical Reality Climax reality TV show, including the Octpuss Gun, Genki Stuntman Outfit, and Man-a-Pult Vehicle. Professor Genki's Hyper Ordinary Pre-Order Pack includes:
- Professor Genki’s Super Ballistic Man-a-pult: Cruise Steelport in style with this vacuum-action human-cannonball truck. Suck up pedestrians and use them as live ammunition against the forces of evil, and everyone else.
- Professor Genki’s "Octopuss" Weapon: Fire baby octopi onto your enemies’ heads! Watch as the octopi massage their scalps and your enemies fight for you! Enemies can be friends too!
- Professor Genki's Leisure Stunt Suit: The ultimate in comfort and tight-fitting apparel, the Genki Leisure Stunt Suit is perfect for skydiving over Steelport or to wear while ejecting from high-flying fighter jets. Free Genki mask included!
The Platinum Pack includes the official Saints Row soundtrack.
Saints Row: The Third game.

Saints Row: The Third will be launching this November on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

Terrible. I can already get the in-game content if I pre-order, and I can't believe the headset is not compatible with XBL/PSN. The soundtrack could be really good, the SR2 one was, but it's certainly not worth the extra money.
