Good news for European and Australian Yakuza fans as Sega announced that the PAL version of Yakuza 3 will only be released in the collector's edition at a standard price.

Hopefully the NTSC gets a nice little upgrade like that as well for its stateside release.

Most high profile games these days have a regular edition and a collector's edition. Yakuza 3, however - at least in PAL territories - will only have a collector's edition. Making it regular!

Sega announced today that only one version of the game is to released in Europe and Australasia, with that version given a standard price along with some not-so-standard inclusions.

Bundled along with the game itself will be a 31-song soundtrack, an interactive "beginner's guide" to the history and relationships of the series' characters (very handy considering few people will have played the preceding games) and four pieces of DLC for the title (which, admittedly, were released in Japan for free) included on the disc.
