The Assassin's Creed II Limited Edition bundle has been announced on the Assassin's Creed Twitter page and it looks to be an exclusive bundle to Gamestop. An Xbox 360 and Sony PS3 version have been listed at $79.99 with a release date of November 17, 2009. The Assassin's Creed II Limited Edition Bundle will include the following:

• Assassin's Creed II game
• 8.5" tall statue of Ezio
• An Artbook
• Two exclusive in-game maps

I love limited and special edition bundles, especially when they include a figure. This might be a good incentive for me to finish up Assassin's Creed.
