Let's cut to the chase: Blizzard announced a collector's edition today for StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. It's $100. I'm so enamored with the beta already that I may not be able to resist spending such an obscene sum on this gigantic package. Until it ships, though, I'm going to keep telling myself that I am absolutely, positively, in no way going to buy this.
What does 100 bones get you, anyway? Here's the full list of stuff, straight from the press release.
- The Art of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, a 176-page book featuring artwork from the game
- An exclusive 2GB USB flash drive replica of Jim Raynor's dog tag, which comes preloaded with the original StarCraft and the StarCraft: Brood War® expansion set
- A behind-the-scenes DVD containing over an hour of developer interviews, cinematics with director’s commentary, and more
- The official StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty soundtrack CD, containing 14 epic tracks from the game along with exclusive bonus tracks
- StarCraft comic book issue #0, a prequel to the comic series
- A World of Warcraft® mini Thor in-game pet that can be applied to all World of Warcraft characters on a single Battle.net account
- Exclusive Battle.net downloadable content, including special portraits for your Battle.net profile, decals to customize your units in-game, and a visually unique version of the terran Thor unit
That's a pretty beefy list. Here's what that stuff looks like!
Who's in for this monster package? The game is also going to be available digitally on Blizzard's online store, and I know the sensible thing here would be to just get the download and not clutter up my shelves with yet another giant box, but... dude! Exclusive texture for your Thor!
