Headline = Call of Duty 4 + Collector's Edition - PS3

Should you own one of the more fortunate platforms, parting with an extra ten dollars will net you a hardcover art book, which we're told features never-before-seen concept, development and final in-game artwork. In addition, the PC version ($60) will provide access to a digital strategy guide while the Xbox 360 package ($70) will house a bonus DVD filled with interviews and other making-of mutterings. Expect those to mention the word "visceral" a lot.

From what I've seen of the beta it's the CoD formula with some nice improvements. A definite must buy.
TRUTH @ Sep 12th 2007 7:36PM
It would be if they had a Better Lobby!!!
HaleysComet @ Sep 12th 2007 7:19PM
COOL.
Note to Self. BUY ON FIRST DAY OUT.
Shagittarius @ Sep 12th 2007 7:22PM
Sign me up for PC collector's edition.
No Wii version?
Trismegistos @ Sep 12th 2007 7:59PM
How good is that picture? It will definitely look 10x better than the standard edition.
Forsakyn @ Sep 12th 2007 7:32PM
They're just giving PS3 owners a break - after all, PS3 owners had to spend $500+ to get the console, so now they can save $10 by not having a COD4 Collector's Edition. I think it's very thoughtful of them!
rdj75 @ Sep 12th 2007 8:38PM
lol
derrickgott007 @ Sep 12th 2007 7:35PM
That collectors edition sucks....No extra anything besides a boring guide, and some making's of....oh wow..
Wilhelm @ Sep 12th 2007 8:01PM
Yes, because so many collectors editions have soooo much more than that.
Arturo @ Sep 12th 2007 7:35PM
This game ftw!
losttoys @ Sep 12th 2007 7:35PM
Maybe there is no PS3 CE since you do not need the extra DVD to store the bonus media! *zing*
ExMcloud @ Sep 12th 2007 8:38PM
Lmao that was a good one
ttr @ Sep 12th 2007 7:38PM
The only thing PS3 owners collect is dust! *badum-ching*
Myke @ Sep 12th 2007 7:54PM
That was a good 1! Did you come up with that yourself?
By the way, has your 360 come back yet from being fixed yet or did you forget about it cause you were playing Wii Play w/ your grandparents? Tell them I said Hey!!!
Joshua @ Sep 12th 2007 7:58PM
Dude, calm down. It was just a joke, and it was funny.
Seriously, you fanboys get up in arms about anything...
ExMcloud @ Sep 12th 2007 8:30PM
Actually that was funny...lol
Vegnagun @ Sep 12th 2007 10:46PM
Myke your unjustified rage is like your system. No one's buying it.
Joshua @ Sep 12th 2007 11:33PM
Fire with fire, Vegnagun? Yeah, real nice. Why not give him a full course dinner?
Slaziman @ Sep 13th 2007 9:46AM
RRoD flames are SO July!
nintendomaniac64 @ Sep 12th 2007 7:38PM
I know this is off-topic, but WTF is up with the music that's on this site? O_o
TomCo @ Sep 12th 2007 10:43PM
Wait, wait, wait.
Say what you like about the PS3 (because really, who cares?). But leave off Hard Boiled, its a brilliant movie.
TomCo @ Sep 12th 2007 10:46PM
Ah crap, its 3:44am and Im trying to tri-boot Xp, Ubuntu and Vista using a single screen grub boot loader. Im tired, and the above was a reply to ExMcloud's reply to phattie.
Now Im going to bed, fucking vista.
phattie @ Sep 12th 2007 7:38PM
Whats up with all these multi DVD9 360 releases? Halo3 is coming on 3 DVD9s.. whereas Strangle Hold PS3 gets the 1080p transfer of Hardboiled on the gamedisc.
GunForHire @ Sep 12th 2007 7:41PM
Wrong. Halo 3 is shipping on 1 disc, dumbass.
ExMcloud @ Sep 12th 2007 8:37PM
So out of all the games you had to compare to Halo 3 you picked Stranglehold? I forgot it was one of the PS3's exclusive big gunz. A mediocre game that's supposed to be a sequel to a mediocre movie... Nuff said
Mr Khan @ Sep 12th 2007 9:34PM
Yeah, that was debunked a long time ago, there are 3 disks in certain editions, but only one with the actual game
fester @ Sep 12th 2007 7:41PM
I'll get by quite nicely on PS3. Soon as my wrist casts come off, I'll just carry on playing LAIR. heh
Vegnagun @ Sep 12th 2007 7:49PM
For your sake I hope they stay on longer.
ExMcloud @ Sep 12th 2007 8:32PM
No seriously keep them on
Arturo @ Sep 12th 2007 7:42PM
You sure your wrists will stay out of those casts playing lair? sorry couldn't resist haha ;)
Word of the street. @ Sep 12th 2007 7:50PM
Nah,I will be playing Halo 3 or Naruto Rise of a Ninja.I'm getting sick of shooters Halo 3 is the last one I will ever own.
Word of the street. @ Sep 12th 2007 7:52PM
Scratch that,Orange Box FTW but after that no more shooters for me...at least during this year.
Joshua @ Sep 12th 2007 8:00PM
Hopefully the Naruto game will actually turn out to be GOOD, though. There's still no guarantee of that. :/
Ska Oreo @ Sep 12th 2007 8:07PM
Liar. You can never have enough of shooters!!
Joshua @ Sep 12th 2007 7:56PM
I'd buy the PC version on day one if I had a better Internet connection. >.>
1080p...w00t...
ExMcloud @ Sep 12th 2007 8:10PM
Well maybe there's no PS3 version cuz they dont like shooters? I don't know who cares anyway as long as the PS3 guys who wanna play get to play the game...Right? So anyway I think COD 4 is the last shooter I'm buying...Halo 3, Orange Box and COD 4 thats it for me
bounchfx @ Sep 12th 2007 8:12PM
I'm sure ps3 owners are used to getting shafted when it comes to games now anyway.
If anyone bought a ps3 for the games, that is. (can't imagine why anyone would.)
Matt B (SDF - White Gold Ring) @ Sep 12th 2007 11:51PM
I'm getting Heavenly Sword tomorrow. What are you getting tomorrow for your gaming machine? Imagine that! Getting a game for the PS3..... try something else man!
bounchfx @ Sep 13th 2007 1:40AM
I'm getting skate. you should get it too it's coming to ps3- oh wait, you have to wait another couple of weeks. then after that I'm getting halo 3. Orange box too. oh wait, thats pushed on ps3 also, well theres GH3 which is getting a demo beforehand with Tony hawk and, whats that? the ps3 version doesnt have the demo, i'm sure it will come to psn.. oh, then mass effect and rock band. oh, then PGR4 and CoD4 collectors edition. whats that? oh darn. then lost odyssey and much more.
I don't mean to sound like a dick. but HONESTLY.
I probably do anyway. At least you have Uncharted and Ratchet and Clank and... um... yep. enjoy the rental that is heavenly sword.
deaftly @ Sep 12th 2007 8:16PM
do i smell a delay in the ps3 version of cod4?
Lucky @ Sep 12th 2007 8:17PM
Acculy it's kinda like a pyrimid.
PC on top with the most content in it's Collectors.
360 in middle with a collectors.
PS3 on bottem with none.
Makes me think there's same favortisem going on there.
ExMcloud @ Sep 12th 2007 8:35PM
Well Microsoft did say they were trying to bring PC gaming back to the ranks of console gaming...SO far I think they've done a good job
Joshua @ Sep 12th 2007 8:56PM
I was thinking more along the lines of the developers simply liking the PC the best...I mean, it IS an FPS, and Call of Duty DID start only on the PC. Infinity Ward even acknowledged that the PC is a better platform for the genre when they said there would be no cross-platform online play.
gregory mitchell @ Sep 12th 2007 8:17PM
screw you guys ill play shooters or anything for that matter as longs as its good...you act like its all the same......Gears is nothing like rainbow six is...nothing like bioshock....is nothing like halo....is nothing like ...COD you see where Im going. would it make a difference if it was a 3rd person. and 3rd persons are usually platformers...which all have guns(real or not0 and kill things so the only difference is the view.
SoxFan13 @ Sep 12th 2007 8:23PM
Might it have something to do with the cost of pressing on DVD vs. Blu-ray discs? A PS3 comsumer wouldn't want to see an extra $5-10 on top of the 360 collector's edition price.
ExMcloud @ Sep 12th 2007 8:34PM
Huh? At point did you make sense? No offense I'm just confused by your point?
Snukadaman @ Sep 12th 2007 9:27PM
so are you saying a extra 5-10 dollars on top of the extra 5-10 dollars you pay for a collectors edition?
phattie @ Sep 12th 2007 9:42PM
The only difference in pressing a BD disc is if you go from 1 layer to 2 layers.. even then its marginal. The added video content wont push it to dual layer unless its in 1080p.
SoxFan13 @ Sep 13th 2007 10:12PM
What I was trying to say was that perhaps they don't make PS3 collector's editions due to the higher cost of pressing onto Blu-0ray vs. DVD.
For Example: COD 4 CE for 360 = $70
COD 4 CE for PS3 = $80
I don't know this for a fact. It's just a theory.
RoboJoel @ Sep 12th 2007 9:04PM
My Guess...
Activision put out Spider-Man 3 - Collector's Edition, exclusively on PS3. Most likely because of the game having close ties with a Sony product (the movie).
Infinity ward said they had a close relationship with Microsoft, with Call of Duty 2 being the biggest Xbox 360 *launch* title well into the consoles early life.
Maybe Activision is just pulling a logical move... And giving the goods to the people / companies / consoles / consumers who would most likely take the bait?
