Saints Row 4 survey asks what you’d like included in the Collector’s Edition

saintsrow4 031913

Deep Silver wants your input on the contents of a Saints Row 4 Collector’s Edition. You can fill out the option bubbles through here. The ranks span from “HELL NO!” to “AWWWW YEAH” in choice, and various items such as T-shirts, hats, pins, an RC copter, a voice augmentation device / auto-tune device, and Dubstep Doomsday Button are just some of the options to pick. There was no mention of a purple dildo with a handle, but a “Functional (not deadly!) in-game weapon replica” was one of the choices. Saints Row 4 releases on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 August 20 in the US and August 23 in the UK. Thanks, Rumrod.

gangstas in space

THQ has announced new DLC for Saints Row: The Third will be released next week on on February 21. Called “Gangstas in Space”, it contains a new mission pertaining to the in-game movie. The only other bit of information gleaned from the official site regarding the content, is that the DLC will contain the character Jenny Jaros starring as Princess Kwilanna and aliens are somehow involved. Expect it to be as zany as previous content drops. Upon release it will run you $6.99, or if you have the season pass already, nada. Europe and the UK should expect it to land on PSN February 22 as part of the usual update process.
