2K Games has announced a pre-order program and limited edition Collectors Edition of the upcoming (and almost never released!) FPS game Prey.

The Limited Collector's Edition is available for both the Xbox 360™ and PC editions of Prey and includes a special metal packaging upgrade, two die-cast pewter figurines including the lead character Tommy and the alien hunter, a free download to a Prey soundtrack, and "The Art of Prey" book featuring collected conceptual and development images from the artists behind Prey. In addition, the PC Limited Collector's Edition will include an upgrade to DVD media from CD-ROM.

Customers who pre-order either the Limited Collector's Edition or standard edition of Prey on either Xbox 360 or PC will receive a die-cast pewter figurine of Mutate. The Mutate is a melding of the DNA of human and alien victims of the living Sphere, possessing a massive claw that it uses in-game to impale its enemies in a spinning attack. All four versions of Prey will be released simultaneously this July.

The special pewter figures are only available to customers in the US, and is available on a strictly first-come, first-served basis. For more information about Prey, head over to the official website.

It's almost time to get my original glow in the dark Prey t-shirt out of storage!
