COD: Black Ops 2 Collector's Editions Details Revealed
Hardened and Care Package collector's editions detailed by Activision.
Time is ticking on and the release date of Treyarch's hotly anticipated latest addition to the Call of Duty franchise is just about on the horizon, with FPS fans getting their trigger fingers limbered up and fittingly exercised to prepare for the brand new Black Ops II. And we've taken another big step towards that release today with a massive chunk of information courtesy of the development team. That's because Activision and Treyarch have just unveiled the Call of Duty: Black Ops II exclusive Care Package, Hardened Edition and Digital Deluxe Editions, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, which offer a variety of digital content and physical bonuses for those gamers who want to spend more than the normal cover price. Fans who shell out for the 'Hardened Edition' will get the game in a collectible double-sided steelbook case, limited edition challenge coins, a soundtrack download, additional weapon camouflage and the downloadable Nuketown 2025 and Nuketown Zombies multiplayer maps. Those who spend the extra $100 for the 'Care Package' edition will get all of the content from the 'Hardened Edition' as well as a remote control MQ-27 Dragonfire Drone and storage crate that looks like one of the in-game care package drop crates. A good collector's edition, but $179.99 - unless someone drops one into my lap to convince me, I'm not sure that's going to cut it with too many gamers. Both packages also include console exclusives as well: Xbox 360 owners get a claw avatar prop and zombie avatar outfit, and PS3 users will get exclusive dashboard themes. The full details of the special editions are listed below... CARE PACKAGE (Xbox 360/PS3) - $179.99
