When it rains collector's editions it certainly pours! Jumping on the bandwagon set up by EA for special editions of
Dead Space and
Mirror's Edge, Activision has announced a special Collector's Edition of
Call of Duty: World at War. Various treats are available with the package which includes the upcoming World War II shooter. Goodies included are:
- Call of Duty: World at War videogame (surprise!)
- World at War branded canteen
- FG 42 Machine Gun available on Day 1 (Usually a Level 45+ weapon)
- One week of Double-XP goodness (Actual week unknown)
- Colored Clan Tag (In-game multiplayer character indicator)
- Stylish tin box to place above-listed treats
So far only the Xbox 360 and PC have had Collector's Editions confirmed. The Xbox 360 edition will retail for $80 while the PC will ask $70 for the set.

I am hesitant with this one. Will Treyarch make a good game? Well, CoD 3 was not horrible horrible. I hated the online play. Campaign was alright. CoD 2 was better, and so was CoD4. With so many other games coming out this season, I will likely wait till CoD6 before re-engaging in the franchise. I am not saying this game is gonna sucks, I am just saying it may not be as good as it could have been.

Yeah, I think this will be a great game. Just too soon. It seems like they just want to get COD5 out so they can get COD6 out.

halo 3 sucks. said...
I love how they spread the manual and the CD to make it look worth 20$ extra. Am i not getting a manual if i just buy the game?
Must Buy.

The next thing they are going to do is take the DVD box leaflet out of the case and lay it next to an empty green box just to make it seem even more enticing!... Hmm...

Personally I'm just tired of WW2 games, unless someone does something really different with it I just can't be bothered.

Well this one is different, there's no nazis. The Pacific Theater hasn't really been tapped into that much.

Yeah except that Medal of Honor one, I was talking more in line with zombies and Hitlers in robot suits. ;)

It's supposed to be spelled Upgrayedd. (The two D's are for a double dose of pimping.)

It should be 'in which to place..." Your stylish tin box bullet makes no sense.

It says "Updgrade" on the image. I am put off this game because it seems that the developers cannot spell.
(I know that the devs didn't make that poster)
