Today at the Call Of Duty XP event in Los Angeles, Xbox LIVE’s Major Nelson announced the Xbox 360 Limited Edition Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Console and two limited edition Modern Warfare 3 themed accessories.
Furthermore a custom sound can be heared when the console is turned on.
The console will launch on November 8, 2011 in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe, the Middle East and Africa for $399 (U.S. ERP) EDIT: In the UK, the console will be a GAME and Gamestation exclusive for £269.99
Ubisoft has revealed today that there will be a Limited Edition of Anno 2070 . Anno 2070, the sequel of the famous franchise will set in the near future and is schedule to launch this winter for PC. This special edition of the game comes in a deluxe collector’s box of high quality and includes the following items:
Many of you wrote it to tell us about a wired article showing off leaked advertisement info for the upcoming Hardened Edition of Modern Warefare 3.
The photo shows the BBFC rating logo meaning this is likely information on the UK release (although if past COD CEs are any indication all versions internationally are the same). While not specifically mentioned it seems that again, like past COD releases, it will include a SteelBook case for the game disc itself.
Explicitly mentioned is the following content:
1 year of Call of Duty: “Elite” Membership
Special “Founder” status, which profiles you with exclusive:
in-game emblem
player card
weapon camouflage
clan xp boost
other benefits
PSN animated timeline theme
Xbox Avatar Special Ops Juggernaut Outfit.
A Field journal with 100+ pages of authentic military sketches, diagrams and written entries chronicling the Modern Warfare saga.
What seems most peculiar to me is that Activision has waited so long to mention details on this release and the inevitable Prestige Edition, even after this leak they refused to comment. Most likely they are simply waiting for the Call of Duty Convention occurring this weekend. We’ll post up details once they’re available.
Christian Hancock tipped us off to a very nicely done unboxing video for the upcoming Uncharted 3 Drake’s Deception Collector’s Edition. Not only is this a professionally filmed video put up by SCEA but it stars Nolan North (the voice actor who plays Nathan Drake). Even if you’re not an uncharted fan it’s worth watching just for Mr North’s wise cracks about the CE’s design features…
Now you don’t have to wait anymore!

Tweeted by French site Gameinmotion, are supporting pictures of what may exist in the near future as a compilation for the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare trilogy.
Based on the title of the package and interior of the steelbook case, it will most likely be packaged with the 3 Modern Warfare games in the series. As this is not (yet) announced officially by Activision, it can be treated as a rumor with a good possibility of coming true.
Obviously there are no official details released for this and it can only be assumed that these will be released for the console (Xbox360 & PS3) and PC platforms. And there’s a good chance this will be a worldwide release also.
But for now, just drool all over these glorious pictures:
Shiny Steelbook with embossed ‘Call of Duty’ title
Pictures indicate this will house Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2 & Modern Warfare 3 games
2011 prints can be found inside the cover*
*[Note: Although a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Collection is already in existence, that particular package contains two CoD: MW games in two separate standard game cases released in 2010. This ‘2011’ edition will be packaged in one steelbook case instead.]
