Although we had some details and an image of the Aliens: Colonial Marines Collector's Edition in January, it has now been officially announced and we have a full list of the bonus content you'll receive for pre-ordering the game. Usually, the pre-order bonus content isn't anything special, but in this case, we can't imagine an Aliens fan not wanting the bonus movie skins.
"Today, we're unveiling details on the Aliens: Colonial Marines Collector's Edition (US $99.99) as well as the bonuses fans will receive by pre-ordering the game from a participating retailer, including four playable characters from the original 1986 movie for competitive multiplayer."
