On April 23, 2007, the Cult of Rapture website confirmed that the Collector's Edition (UK)/Limited Edition (NA) would include a 6" tall Big Daddy figurine, a "Making Of" DVD and a soundtrack CD. The soundtrack CD was reduced to an EP titled The BioShock EP and contains three tracks from the game remixed by Moby and Oscar The Punk. The tracks are "God Bless the Child", "Beyond the Sea", and "Wild Little Sisters".[1] The box features an embossed graphic designed by a graphic competition winner Adam Meyer.[2]

In Europe, both the limited and the standard editions come with a metal case.
