As you might know we’ve been working with Gamer’s Edition to produce the

official physical release of Kerbal Space Program. With a physical

edition we didn’t want to give you just a USB drive or disc with the

game on it, but we wanted to make something a bit more special, that’s

worth investing in. Like every Gamer’s Edition, the Kerbal Space Program

collection includes a Steam code, is packaged in an individually

numbered presentation box and is part of a one-off run that will not be

repeated.</p><p>

What’s in the box?</p><ul><li>Four hand-painted

Kerbal figurines - Bill, Bob and Jebediah Kerman plus a standard

Kerbalnaut, each showing varying emotional reactions to the adventure

that awaits. </li>

<li>A stirring diorama backdrop - which optimistically suggests you have made it to the moon. </li>

<li>Official Kerbal Space Program

mobile - allowing you to ponder the hypnotic vastness of space and the

quantity of space junk and unlucky Kerbals you have scattered across it.

</li>

<li>Official Kerbal Space Program patch - proudly displaying the Latin motto of the program: “Demum Pervenius†(lit. We’ll Get There Eventually).</li>

</ul><p>“It’s a real honour to partner with one of the most enthralling indie games of recent yearsâ€Â, said Jon Hicks, Head of Gamer’s Edition. “Having

spent many hours abandoning Kerbals to uncertain fates in orbit, on the

moon, or within several feet of the launch site, I feel more than

qualified to do the same in the real worldâ€Â.</p><p>

The Kerbal Space Program Gamer’s Edition campaign runs from today until midnight BST (4PM PDT/7PM EDT) on 29^thof July and costs $80 (roughly £55). It’s available for purchase now at <b><a href="https://www.gamersedition.com/products/kerbal-space-program">The Gamer’s Edition website</a></b>.</p><p>If you wish to learn more about Gamer’s Edition you can find them on their<b> <a href="http://www.gamersedition.com">website</a></b>, and on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/GetGamersEdition"><b>Facebook</b></a>, <a href="http://www.twitter.com/gamers_edition"><b>Twitter</b> </a>and <a href="http://www.instagram.com/gamers.edition"><b>Instagram</b></a>.<br/></p><p>

Really nice stuff though! Love the diorama.

[Robotengineer]

Thats pretty cool, and not too bad of a price either.

[Paul Kingtiger]

That looks cool! A bit disappointing that there's no Valentina Kerman figure though. I guess this has taken a while to put together and the Val model wasn't available in time.

looks pretty cool! My only complaint is the lack of a Valentina Kerman, but I know how these things work. This box set was probably in production long before Val came to us.

[pxi]

Ditto on the lack of Val.

Still cool to see a physical release though.

[NovaSilisko]

I don't really care for that box art... doesn't really capture the mood of the game, I don't think. It's more like something you'd find in a scrapbook, assembled from a bunch of assets just lying around. It would've been cool to commission an artist among the community to make a special illustrated cover for the game.

But wasn't that the basic premise of the game? The Kerbal Space Program assembles it's rockets from various bits they find lying about?

[basic.syntax]

Box art is very playful, it stands out, but a space or KSC scene would have been more representative/expected/"safer." Part of the key art for the game, a moonscape, is present as a diorama, which I would arrange in front of the box (If I found $85 lying around without a prior claim on it.) The box art is kind of a flat version of the mobile... which I think is awesome. I like the patch, the Latin phrase is new to me. Everything gets cooler, in Latin

[Captain Sierra]

I want this SO BAD but there's no way I can swing $80.

[Whirligig Girl]

I would have added the atmospheric glow to the Kerbin on the backdrop, right now the Kerbin looks like a dead blue/green rock. Also, is the rocket part of the backdrop? If so, why a launch rocket instead of a lander? Also, where's Valentina?

I will probably ask for this for my birthday.

[Caelib]

It is worth pointing out: Estimated delivery November 2015.

[Whirligig Girl]

It is worth pointing out: Estimated delivery November 2015.

Oh crap I didn't see that. Chrismas it is then.

[Bedwyr]

Hmm.

devenitur ad tandem?

[Wallygator]

There should be an option to buy without a software license ---> for all of us who already own a store license AND a steam license.

We have fully supported the game already - we deserve a shot at owning the extras without having to buy yet another license.

[Curveball Anders]

My only complaint is the lack of a Valentina Kerman.

Ditto, but I'll buy one, and then I guess there'll come an offer to buy the Valentina Edition later on.

And being such a sucker. I'll buy that one too

[Dortmunder]

Get ordering people.

I will be very upset if there aren't enough orders to go ahead

[Red Iron Crown]

How does this version of KSP update? Through the KSP store?

Are there any pictures of the actual figurines?

[basic.syntax]

The site says it comes with a Steam key... no physical disk.

[almagnus1]

What, no Valentina?

[GeneCash]

The site says it comes with a Steam key... no physical disk.

Which is useless for me as I won't ever run Steam, and dammit I wanted a physical copy of the game where I could say "I played that in the 0.22 beta version long before it went gold"

Ah well.

[dryer_lint]

Ah well.

I'm missing something here... why are people so opposed towards Steam? KSP doesn't have DRM anyways.

[Robotengineer]

Same here, I might be able to pay for an alternative without a steam key, $60 or so?

[Yakuzi]

<li>A stirring diorama backdrop - which optimistically suggests you have made it to the moon. </li>

Quite optimistic indeed... does the Gamer's Edition come with RSS?

I agree with the general sentiment that Val should have been part of this.

Also, can we get some actual pics of the model/figurines? I'm not a big fan of spending $80 based on clipart representations of the actual product.
