SEGA Australia have quietly released another Sonic collection to the PC simply titled Sonic PC Collection. The first thing worth noting is the fact this collection contains well… another collection namely Sonic Mega Collection +. Apart from Sonic Mega Collection+ the game contains Sonic Heroes, Sonic Riders and Sonic Adventure DX which funnily enough contains another unlockable collection of the 12 Game Gear Sonic titles.
According to Impulsegamer the collection was released October 1st of this year and retails for $19.95 but you can get it a little cheaper at EBGames for $18.00. Not a bad price for 3 PC games, All the Mega Drive Sonic games(and a few non-sonic games in MC+) and all the Game Gear Sonic games.
Impulsegamer have a press release from SEGA Australia too –

Reminds me of the Sonic and Garfield collection from 10 years ago, Garfield the Game and Sonic and Knuckles Collection lol
It’s been out for a while, I got it around a month or two ago.
And anyone who has an urge to get into Sonic, has a PC and lives in Australia, this is possibly the best bargain you could ask for.
okay that was unexpected…
I have this game.
Saw it in Eb the other day, Didn’t think too much of it lol

That’s why I stated:
“the collection was released October 1st of this year”
This is the first I’ve heard of it and not many other people seem to know about it either. Seems to be another game SEGA didn’t promote.
I guess this is why SADX was re-rated by the OFLC.
@Shadzter: It was on TSSZ news a couple months ago.
A collection withing a collection?
HILARIOUS FAIL.
@ Soul Gauge
Oh well, the game gets a bit more coverage towards Christmas then doesn’t it? 🙂
Fair enough.
Cool, but they’re selling it in the US, too. It’s available at CDWow! for $17.99 with free shipping:
