WotLK collector's edition revealed
People have been asking after the collector's edition since the release date for Wrath of the Lich King broke last night. Blizzard has just updated their official site, confirming the November 13 release date and letting us know that there will be a CE (shock!), and what will be in it.
- The game on DVD-ROM [edit: the regular edition will have it on DVD as well]
- A 208-page LK art book
- Frosty, the baby frost wyrm (non-combat pet)
- A DVD with developer interviews, commentary on the cinematic, etc.
- Soundtrack CD
- Mouse pad with a map of Northrend
- Two starter decks for the CCG, and two exclusive cards
This is more or less the same pack-in list as the BC CE had. The pricing will be $70 for the CE, as opposed to $40 for the regular edition (same as for BC, as far as I remember). Will you be buying the collector's edition?
All of the latest news can be found on our Wrath page. Also, Ask a Beta Tester answers all your burning questions, Lichborne will walk you through the Death Knight class, and in Skill Mastery we've been explaining each class's new spells and abilities one by one. Prepare yourself; this is going to be fun. Filed under: News items, Wrath of the Lich King

Of course I'll be buying it! Now if a retailer would just have it for preorder so I could get my copies I'd be happy
Ahoni Sep 15th 2008 10:05AM
Will pre-order the CE as soon as a store updates their page to have it.

The Collector's Edition has already been pre-booked by an avid collector of all things Collector's or limited edition PC games. Me! =D

I'm getting the regular... 70 bucks is too much.
Vendrill Nov 5th 2008 3:38PM
I agree... I would've gone out and blown the $70 without thinking about a few months ago, but I just went back to school, and the extra $30 for some schwag I'll throw in a drawer and forget about and a new pet that 25% of everyone will have will be spent better elsewhere.

No. I bought the BC CE and was really hoping this expansion would have something other than another baby dragon deal.
Flint Sep 15th 2008 10:13AM
Bah, a baby frost wyrm. I was hoping for a polar bear :(.
Nicholas Sep 15th 2008 12:45PM
It has been know that the CE Pet was frosty for a few months.
A Polar Bear in the CE seems a tad gauche.
They Polar bear pet was an iCoke promotions pet for China. They get all the fun pets over there...

From reading what they have posted on the official site about the contents of the CE, it looks like the rumored early access to a DK was just that, a rumor. Too bad, I would have paid the $30 extra dollars to avoid even a little of the initial DK rush.
I still might, just not as convinced to now.

$30 for a pet? No thanks.
aleyira Sep 15th 2008 11:04AM
$30 for a pet is a bargain, I'd pay $150 for CE if they asked that and still consider it fair.

# A 208-page LK art book
# A DVD with developer interviews, commentary on the cinematic, etc.
# Soundtrack CD
# Mouse pad with a map of Northrend
# Two starter decks for the CCG, and two exclusive cards
Thats everything but the pet. Id say thats a pretty sweet deal for $30 without a pet involved. 208 page art book? Sweetness. Plus a soundtrack and mouse pad. The cards I dont care much about, but its a hell of a lot better than a lockbox and duffel bag, or some cheap looking Master Chief armor for your in-game character.

It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.

What has really piqued my interest is that it comes on DVD, yet there's no mention of what the REGULAR version comes on. Do people who don't want to fork out almost double get the added pleasure of waiting for their computers to stop chewing on the individual CDs before saying "This one has no flavour left. I want a new one."?
