It’s a title we know a lot of you are excited about and we are proud to bring you our unboxing in the form of photos – we’ll try and bring you a video unboxing at a later date – of Giovanni’s Island – Ultimate Edition. Being released this Monday (12th January 2015) on DVD, Blu-ray and Ultimate Edition DVD+Blu-ray.

What is Giovanni’s Island about?

Check out the trailer below (and feel free to share it too!)

What’s on the discs? Are there any differences?

What does the Ultimate Edition Look Like?

The main difference between the versions is the physical presentation (i.e. the size of the DVD/Blu-ray cases, the Ultimate Edition packaging) and the art used on the discs themselves. So please note that the disc art included on the individual DVD/Blu-ray differs to what’s included in the ultimate version. Also keep in mind the Ultimate Edition is limited to 1000 units only! So once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Have a look through the pictures below to see what to expect if you purchase the Ultimate Edition. (Click on the photos below to enlarge them.)

NOTE: On the images relating to the sketch book, you will see a varied colour tone on the red cover and ‘sketch marks’ on some pages of the pages. This is part of the design and not a fault with the product.

We hope you enjoyed this preview of the Ultimate Edition of Giovanni’s Island. Do let us know if you’ll be buying this – we’d love to hear your thoughts.

Signing out.
