Cities XL is scheduled to launch on Oct. 8 and 9 in numerous countries, which means prospective players only have about a week left to pre-order the limited edition for $39.99, which is the same price as the standard edition. The limited edition includes five additional maps for solo mode, five more buildings, an exclusive city hall, a T-shirt for your avatar, a poster, postcards, a web badge and two megastructures.

You can pre-order Cities XL through this page on the official Web site. In addition, Monte Cristo just announced that the game is available to pre-order as a digital download on Steam. Of course, the poster and postcards are not available through any digital download offers.

Cities XL launches in North America on Oct. 9. Will you be playing the sim-building MMO?
