Could somebody please tell me why MW3 Hardened Edition is so large?

I like Call of Duty! But yeah, this could have just been the same size as the BO and MW2 hardened editions, but its not a big deal. I'm happy there's no stupid prestige edition this time. Also the 1 year elite is a great deal for CoD fans.

One of the guys in my local games store actually laughed when he saw it because of all the wasted space inside the box. He also said it was one of the poorest CEs he'd seen for the price.

I was told by an HMV employee that they had sold out and that this edition was REALLY limited . . .but there's bloody millions of them in the shops where I live.

All this hype is just bullshit . . .bigger the game, smellier the bullshit. Definitely awaiting the inevitable price drop on this one

Well that's all dependant on how much you pay for the standard edition and how many map packs they decide to release throughout the year. If they only release two map packs like with previous Modern Warfare games, then it's not such a great deal. If you pay less than RRP for the standard edition, it's equally not as great a deal

I actually ended up paying less than £15 for my standard edition from Tesco using my Clubcard vouchers, so it actually works out cheaper for me to pay for each map pack as and when they're released than it would be for me to buy a Hardened Editon for £80 and get everything for free. For me, they'd have to release at least six map packs at 1,200 MS Points to make the Hardened Edition worth opening to play

(The fact that I also bought a Hardened Edition to keep for the collection is irrelevant, not that I even paid full price for that as I had £20 worth of GAME reward points)
