World of Warcraft: Cataclysm special edition detailed

by Griffin McElroy on Aug 17th 2010 12:50PM

Hey, you're already paying $14.99 a month to have access to the expansive, quest-strewn lands of World of Warcraft -- why not shell out a few extra bucks to claim the collector's edition of the MMO's upcoming expansion, Cataclysm? The premium, $79.99 version of the add-on, which will only be available in retail stores, just had its contents revealed by Blizzard.

The bundle includes a 176-page art book, a DVD featuring developer commentary and a quick background of the Warcraft universe, a CD of the expansion's soundtrack, a mouse pad, a starter deck and a few bonus cards for the World of Warcraft TCG, and -- the item which will force die-hard WoW players to spring for the special edition -- a "Lil' Deathwing" in-game pet. The expansion is still sans-release date, but the presser announcing this collector's edition promises that information will be divulged "in the months ahead."

Okay this is all good and well. I want to see the groundbreaking CG trailer

that mouse pad might put me over the edge on this one.

Does that mean i can't order it from amazon?

I live in a country far far away ....

@iNZoW *cues story scroll..*

I might have to get my profile reactivated for this

Just remember the goodies are great, but the game and its community are still the same.

Your pugs, never forget them.

@KazamaSogetsu pugs? I used to play solo (Dark Elf Hunter with a spider).. although I'll be tempted to have a Goblin Warlock (if they're able)

Mousepad? Pretty sweet. I've seen some of the trading cards, and the art is very nice, so that must transfer to the art book as well. Very nice for people who will buy this.
Money is tight on my end, just got WoW recently (within the month) am enjoying it a little too much, luckily its summer break.
My adventures with EatASandwich, the level 28 Orc Hunter, and his faithful companion, EatAZebra, the white lion. http://i.thottbot.com/ss/o/31982.jpg
(That stupid Alliance character isn't mine, its the best screenshot of EatAZebra, don't worry, this was before he killed and maimed her. He likes his elves a little dark, with some red in the middle. )

Cool story, bro.

anyone know when the online retailers may start presales?

That's literally double the price. Jesus christ.

@Cleric

You aren't seeing this with Blizzard Math.

"It's ONLY double the price!"

And tell me how many Collector's Editions aren't more expensive?

All the Collector's Editions have been $80.

And what about Halo, and Modern Warfare? $150 is three times the price.

The thing is, is the $40 gets you $100 worth of stuff. The artbook alone can go for $40.

@Cleric

You think the expansion is going to cost $40?

@Chareth Cutestory

Well, balls.

So does Amazon.

I really thought they were going to go for $50 for the standard edition.
