The Last of Us 2 prices - Standard Edition
The most modest version of the game, but still one that will likely fly off the shelves faster than the most delicious hot cakes. The Standard Edition gets you just that: the standard physical game.

In terms of digital goods, the Ellie Edition comes with a voucher for a PS4 dynamic theme, a set of six PSN avatars, a digital soundtrack, and a digital version of the mini art book. You also get an actual backpack, a quality vinyl soundtrack, a statuette, artbook, pins and stickers and replica items.
The bad news for readers is that stock is wildly fluctuating. The links below will guide you to exactly the right laces and pages but we may see out of stock or coming soon or unavailable placeholders depending on timing and stock levels.

This edition will bag you the 12” Ellie statue, the replica of Ellie’s bracelet, custom SteelBook case, 48-page mini art book from Dark Horse, the six pins, lithograph art print, and a set of five stickers. The Collector’s Edition also comes with the same voucher as the Ellie edition which will bag you those digital goodies of a PS4 dynamic theme, the six PSN avatars, the digital soundtrack, and the digital version of the mini art book.

Several of the UK GamesRadar+ team are hankering for this one. And in the UK the Collector's Edition is a Game exclusive. However, stock will continue to fluctuate as this is the highest-profile edition available in the UK and the only place to do it. Stay vigilant and hopefully, you'll be one of the lucky ones. The remaining versions should be available at most of the other usual suspects.

The Last of Us 2 prices - Special Edition
Coming in at a very tempting $80 or £60 (ish), the Special Edition is a little more restrained than the Ellie Edition and Collector's Edition but incredibly tempting nonetheless.

The art book is available to buy in the UK (both versions) but that's as far as it goes for the extra awesomeness. But naturally, we'll get anything else we can find up here as soon as it is available.

Getting the most out of The Last of Us 2
There is no doubt that the very best way to play The Last of Us Part II is going to be with as optimised a PlayStation setup as you can possibly manage. This means, at the very least, you'll want to check out the best PS4 Pro deals to ensure you have the top PS4 model to make the most of the game's incredible visuals. Speaking of which, definitely consider one of the best gaming TVs to bask in the glory of those landscapes and environments as well. And finally, ensure you have a gaming sound system that will fill the room with the game's audio or go for one of the best PS4 headsets. Naughty Dog are advocates of 3D audio which was present in Uncharted 4 and only accessible with Sony's official PS4 Platinum headset - which is also excellent - so you might want to consider that particular set of cans to soak up every audio cue and every note of Gustavo Santaolalla's wonderful music.
