I'll pick it up. I prefer the Hardened editions over the Prestige ones anyway.

Well, I'm not much for spending a good $80 extra for a toy car. I prefer the hardened editions as well, a steelbook and artbook for $80, thats a good buy.

Another release I won't be getting a launch. every release no matter if it's the hardened or prestige edition are around months later for less than half the price, if that.

Perhaps pickup the usual £25 deal for the standard game at local super market at launch.

same, why waste your money

[Mike1888]

The Black Ops hardened edition sealed goes a quite a bit nowadays. I think I recall an auction reaching over $100.

[gurpswoo1]

No sure what happened in CA, US but I remember seeing black ops hardened version for £30 in local game store as they tried to shift over stock. At this price for weeks.

Maybe it's just demand is not here in the UK, like NA.

They prepare an enormous overstock for Call of Duty titles, which translates into less value aftermarket. I'm guessing MW3 will be the largest stock of all COD titles so far, so any collectible edition will be near worthless. BUT! It won't stop me from groveling over it! Good thing the COD titles are usually good quality collectibles overall. I really hope they out do themselves with this one. We need something really crazy! I expect to be "wowed" and that is hard to do these days...

It's just the size that I don't like. I don't have the space to have large CEs like the GT5 Signature edition,etc.

im like you, although i have a few big'ish editions i hate them, space and i think they look crap most of the time, very annoying to store/display and same goes for condition

[foreverflash]

It's just the size that I don't like. I don't have the space to have large CEs like the GT5 Signature edition,etc.I completely understand. I actually had to clean out my entire cellar and setup clean areas to store a good portion of my collectibles. My room is stock full! I always wondered: these publishers and Developers must believe the average consumer has a 1,000sq foot room or lives in a mansion the way they continue to release these enormous collectible editions. Personally I'd much rather have a very limited, highly detailed and special limited edition in a steelbook. Besides, the steelbooks or cases often times become very rare and sell for outrageous amounts...

New picture posted on Facebook! I like the look of the steelbook!:thumb:

[Mike1888]

Looks great, so there will be 2 steelbooks for this 1? Going to try get them both, too bad we don't have any italian members :(

If anything I'd think you'd want a North American, or UK member if for some reason this edition of COD MW3 wasn't released in Canada (extremely unlikely)...

The hardened edition will be of course released in Canada but Gamestop.it does not ship internationally unfortunately, so I need help for this steelbook which will most likely be different.

any UK retailers put pre orders up for this yet?

[foreverflash]

Wow so the Italian version of CoDMW3 Hardened will be different design? Strange, I don't hear of Italy having exclusives often...

Its actually not the hardened edition, they just get a free steelbook for pre-ordering I think. Italy seems to have a few exclusive steelbooks.

Wish we had some Italian members to assist with this 1.

[narg]

if this is the final version of "hardened" edition, its pretty lame :/

[Pielord]

Could sell that yeah of the elite thing and make some money back. :rotf:

[narg]

I am not sure if will be possible sell elite stuff without a whole game account..

[Pielord]

im sure its just a redeemable code or something.

[tallkid123]

Will not buy this at launch but wait. Both my MW2 and Black Ops Hardened Editions were pre-owned when I bought them.

[foreverflash]

The "Hardened" edition is below the "Prestige" edition right? Didn't they have 3 version last 2 CoD releases...? Or was it always just "Hardened" and "Prestige"?

Modern Warfare 2 had a Veteran Edition.
