Homefront special editions announced

Two special editions of the future shooter Homefront are announced for pre-orders at JB Hifi and EB Games. And they're on PC, too!

So not only are we getting Australian dedicated servers for Homefront - arguably our most anticipated shooter this year - but we're also getting some neat special editions, via pre-orders at JB Hifi and EB Games. Even better, these SEs will be available on all platforms.

Could it be that Homefront is that rarest of moderns games - a title made with actual PC gamers in mind?!

JB customers can get the Voice of Freedom novel, written by John Milius, as well as weapon camo skins. The console edition is $109.95, while on PC it's a mere $79.95. Win.

The EB version, the 'Don't Tread on Me" edition features a printed KPA Propaganda Passport, Resistance Cloth Patch and Concept Art Card. It also includes the Remington 870 Shotgun and MP Unlock Pack, which provides day-one access to the Parrot AR Drone, vehicle Instant Repair Ability and the SCAR assault rifle.

The pricing is identical. Woo.

Homefront's released on all major platforms in March.

I'm no redneck yankee, but that's the same rattle snake on the Metallica Black album.
