Rockstar Games has announced Grand Theft Auto IV will be offered in a special edition for an extra $US30 when the game ships in October for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Thirty bucks for a duffle bag, a soundtrack CD, a book of production artwork and a keychain, all packaged in a metal safety deposit box probably isn't excessive, but we suspect the package will appeal mainly to collectors.

"All of the items have been created with the utmost attention to detail to create a unique Grand Theft Auto IV experience for any fan of the series," said company officials.

They added that the CD will contain "new material from top artists available only on this release", suggesting the GTA IV soundtrack features original contemporary music.

The Special Edition will cost $US89.99.
