<p><a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/01/22/the-last-of-us-survival-edition-post-pandemic-edition-revealed/"><em>The Last of Us</em> will be getting two special editions</a> come May 7th, when the game launches; because you can never have too many special editions, right?</p>
<p>First up is the <em>Survival Edition</em>. Which, for the price of $79.99, comes with:</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="line-height: 13px;"><em>The Art of The Last of U</em>s Hardcover Book ($39.99 by itself)</span></li>
<li><em>The Last of Us: American Dreams #1</em> &#8211; The first issue in a series that goes into Ellie&#8217;s backstory (will have an exclusive cover)</li>
<li>Steelbook edition of the game, complete with artwork of Ellie on one side and Joel on the other</li>
<li><em>The Sights &; Sounds DLC Pack</em> &#8211; Soundtrack, Dynamic PS3 theme, Avatar pictures</li>
</ul>
<p>Next up is the $159.99 GameStop exclusive <em>Post-Pandemic Edition</em>:</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="line-height: 13px;">Steelbook edition of the game</span></li>
<li><em>The Last of Us: American Dreams #1</em></li>
<li>12&#8243; Premium Statue of Joel and Ellie</li>
<li><em>Sights &; Sounds DLC Pack</em></li>
<li><em>Survival DLC Pack</em> &#8211; Multiplayer Xp, in-game currency, melee booster, bonus skins once you complete the game</li>
</ul>
<p>Both the <em>Survival</em> and the <em>Post-Pandemic Editions </em>will also come with custom chrome Naughty Dog stickers for you to do whatever you want with them. I am, however, curious as to why the actual <em>Survival Edition</em> doesn&#8217;t come with the <em>Survival DLC Pack. </em>Because<strong> Survival</strong><em>.</em></p>
