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. @ Sep 26th 2008 7:21PM
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...
dicknjane @ Sep 26th 2008 9:35AM
this is actually a nice collectors edition. i'm gettin this for sure.
Steven M @ Sep 26th 2008 9:40AM
i might get this one, it looks like it has some nice stuff, and at least its not 150 or 130 bucks like EA's collectors crap
joeybeast @ Sep 26th 2008 10:58AM
what nice stuff?
the canteen is neat, but that's it.
Gemini Ace @ Sep 26th 2008 9:43AM
Seriously? This is stupid on so many levels.
Neuromancer @ Sep 26th 2008 9:58AM
Personally I'm just tired of WW2 games, unless someone does something really different with it I just can't be bothered.
CL34N3R @ Sep 26th 2008 11:33AM
Well this one is different, there's no nazis. The Pacific Theater hasn't really been tapped into that much.
Neuromancer @ Sep 26th 2008 11:33AM
Yeah except that Medal of Honor one, I was talking more in line with zombies and Hitlers in robot suits. ;)
jkdoug @ Sep 26th 2008 10:09AM
Someone misspelled "upgraded" in the image. *snicker*
Neuromancer @ Sep 26th 2008 11:37AM
It's supposed to be spelled Upgrayedd. (The two D's are for a double dose of pimping.)

Silly Activision marketing team.

$80 = FAIL
MC Double Def DP @ Sep 26th 2008 10:40AM
i was excited till i realized that's not a real flask!
MC Double Def DP @ Sep 26th 2008 2:28PM
I don't know how I missed the 'canteen' on the list. my bad.
BoogieHowser @ Sep 26th 2008 11:13AM
It should be 'in which to place..." Your stylish tin box bullet makes no sense.
CmpsdNoMore @ Sep 26th 2008 11:57AM
Does anyone recognize the canteen from any general issue army?
It's definitely not American issue and I'm pretty sure it's not British or German.
There's so many "collector" and "special editions" now that it's almost pathetic.
But, whatever, I never had that much money to waste anyway.
Doc @ Sep 26th 2008 11:27AM
what was it that you got if you pre-ordered it?
Alex @ Sep 26th 2008 11:44AM
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)
eric f. @ Sep 26th 2008 12:32PM
So for the adult gamer, they are basically offering an online play weapon cheat for $20 extra...
jacob @ Sep 27th 2008 11:16AM
Wait a minute; the flask isn't usable? It looks like it would be nice to put some Jack Daniels in. Plus, I'm sure I could get to level 45 in a couple days to get that gun and I'm sure they'll have a double XP weekend for everybody within a month or two of the game's release.
It's just a tough sell without knowing if the Multiplayer fun will equal Cod4.
