Game localization and publishing company PQube today revealed the Steins;Gate “El Psy Kongroo” Edition, which will be exclusively sold on Rice Digital, a UK-based site that focuses on Japanese games.

The Steins;Gate El Psy Kongroo Edition for PlayStation 3 and Vita is priced at $79.99 / £49.99 / €69.99 and luckily for fans outside of England like myself, Rice Digital is offering free worldwide shipping!

This special edition gets you the following:

Regarded as one of the finest visual novels produced, Steins;Gate is a sci-fi time travel themed mystery developed by Japanese studio 5pb. Games and originally launched on the PC. The game won Famitsu’s Game of Excellence award in 2009 and was voted the 6th most “tear-inducing game” on their 2011 online reader poll. Last year, an English localization of the PC version was released by JAST USA.
