As expected, we got a cracking new trailer for The Last of Us: Part II in today's State of Play, as well as a release date. However, over on the PlayStation Blog, we were also treated to some information about retail editions for the upcoming sequel. In typical fashion, there are several ways to buy this highly anticipated title -- let's go through them below.

Your basic retail box is pretty bog standard, but pre-ordering the regular version will net you an ammo capacity upgrade and a crafting training manual, whatever that means. Meanwhile, the digital standard edition earns you an exclusive avatar of Ellie's tattoo.
