Hellgate: London Release Correction

I told you there was a correction to the official Dark Horse Hellgate: London press release. I was going to just change the original one, but I read it over and I have to admit, I didn't see much different. I'm not sure what the big changes are, so I decided to just post the new corrected version in whole:

The much-anticipated release of the Hellgate: London interactive PC game gets even bigger with the announcement of a collectors edition, which includes the entire Hellgate: London comics series by Dark Horse Comics. The Hellgate: London Collectors Edition will be released on October 31, 2007, in conjunction with the release date of the game. In addition to the Hellgate: London game and the exclusive, special-edition, 104 page Hellgate: London graphic novel, the collectors set will also include a bonus DVD of The Making of Hellgate: London, as well as the game soundtrack, and a special Hellgate: London world map.

Dark Horse has been a perfect partner for graphic novels, said Bill Roper, CEO of Flagship Studios. Their attention to detail, creative talent, and dedication to representing the Hellgate: London world has been second to none.

Dark Horse Comics Custom Publishing Department is pleased to have had the opportunity to team up with Flagship Studios, EA, and Namco Bandai Games to create this special, limited-edition collectors version of what is rumored to be one of the hottest games to hit the world of PC gaming this year!
