Don't confuse this week's new release of Lost Planet Extreme Condition: Colonies Edition as just a regular re-released Xbox 360 Platinum Hits game priced at $29.99. Lost Planet's Colonies Edition features many character, weapon and multiplayer gameplay extras. Capcom also wants you to know that Dead Rising's Frank West can be found in the game, complete (or incomplete) with Capcom-colored "tiddy-whities". Although not showed in the picture below (I couldn't resist featuring that huge drill weapon below), you can see a good sampling of Frank as well as other characters and weapons found in the new Colonies edition of Lost Planet here.
