Call of Duty Black Ops II CEs announced
As many of you let us know, two CEs have been announced for the upcoming release of Activision’s Call of Duty Black Ops II. slated for release on PS3 and Xbox 360 on November 13th, its very likely that both of these editions will be available in large quantities world wide.
![Call of Duty Black Ops II Hardened Edition (PS3/Xbox 360) [NTSC] (Activision)](http://collectorsedition.org/uploads/2012/08/call_of_duty_black_ops_ii_hardened_edition_ps3_xbox_360_activiaion.jpg "Call of Duty Black Ops II Hardened Edition (PS3/Xbox 360) [NTSC] (Activision)")
The Hardened Edition will retail for about $80 (USD) and feature a fancy box along with a SteelBook (G1 for 360 and G2 for PS3), a Soundtrack, some “Challenge Coins” and some bonus content: “Nuketown Zomebies” and “Nuketown 2025” among some additional in-game weapons and other bonuses.
The PS3 release will also include some dashboard themes, while the 360 release will include some Avatar items.
The Care Package edition will retail for about $180 (USD) and includes everything from the Hardened Edition except it looks to come in a massive crate to house all the content along with a remote controlled quad-copter based on the “MD-27 Dragonfire Drone”. Pushing the gadget envelope even further than past releases.
Be interesting to see how the $180 translates into English money . . .

Im wondering, will this be overproduced like the previous CE's, or will it be more limited. I imagine stores will want to clear left over stock soon, due to the space this CE is taking up.
the box actually looks really nicehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ey-21QYm5XY
this franchise is overhyped and huge!!!!!!!!!!!..there gonna churn out millions worldwide..and watch the price crash to $99 right after new years day...the company will milk the franchise for as much money as they can get,...yea borders 2 loot is somewhat limited, but that franchise is 1/10th of what call of duty is for marketing/branding sake'
^: I am somewhat worried by that potential turn of events
That's my one qualm with collecting - will an item you preorder out of panic retain its value or will retailers slash the price to hell when they don't sell. My judgement on the Darksiders and Borderlands Collector's seems to have paid off but Call of Duty doesn't exactly have a fabulous track record
A lot of the bigger CEs I've seen have dropped to less than half price (or close) within a month or two. I'm looking at you, Skyrim, SWTOR, Killzone 3, Call of Duty, etc
Care edition is sold out in the US
Amazon.com
Gamestop.com
are all gone
only place that you can still get this in US will be Bestbuy.com
I believe this edition will have similar effect as Borderland 2 ultimate loot edition
WTF call of duty NEVER sells out
this happened last year..and it was restocked with the hardened edition..it's just artificial holding back so there's lots of anticipation and pent up demand..it's marketing..they will make more since they can profit pad it.
So I went and ordered the care package... Only concern I have is the value holding. Thought about having them hold it for a few days to see how the prices on eBay went... Any thoughts on this?
This is definitely gonna drop, isn't it?
my gut says once they see how immensley popular care package is..they will make many more!!!..activition is not one to miss an opportunity to cash in!!!!!!!!
It's sold out in game UK as well now.
it's available again at GAMESTOP USA..at least up until last i checked yesterday for Both PS3 and Xbox360....Xbox360 version still available at amazon.com USA
