Cataclysm collector's edition revealed

With Blizzard charging $80 for this it's hard to imagine a digital-only version being more profitable unless they really gouge on the price. All the junk in the CE probably costs them

That's weird, where'd my last sentence go?

Anyway, that should say:

"costs them less than $5 to manufacture and they get to tack $40 onto the price.

Sounds like a pretty boring collectors edition to me. Especially for that price. Come on blizzard, you make millions each year. You can atleast make a decent CE. Ie fallout. Those collectors editions are super cool.

Yoink. If only they had given a release date too.

Now that the box art and CE edition has been revealed i can't imagine the xpac is to far off. Anyone remember how long it was from when WotLK art was leaked/revealed 2 years ago?

I won't be buying CAT until I hit 80 with my current toon. *** u Blzzard. You are not taking my coin that quickly. Keep taking my monthly fee (paper route) money until Obama takes that over!

Say what you will about WoW's LasVegas game mechanics, their ce's are awesome to behold and a value compared to other games' ce's as well.

Yay no digital!

You keep being like that Blizzard. SOMEDAY something will come along and kick your ass.

God forbid you would include the price or a link to the actual announcement in the article, Mashable.

I may come off as old and grumpy, and I guess I am, but I remember when collectors editions were actually collectors edition with useful cool items and not just a heap of junk you'll end up throwing out because it's ugly too.

I preordered the original wow collectors edition because a Danish webstore mistakenly priced it the same as the regular version, and thanks to Danish law they can't just add money to your order after it's been processed. But really, the only thing that wasn't a massive disappointment was the 3 in game pets, and paying 80$ for that is silly. :p

Having played eve-online for several years I have to admit I think Blizzard are a tad zealous in their greed. Eve-online has shelled out more than 12 expansions, and none of them have cost a dime and this is from a developer with around 300.000 subscribers.

Of course it's a matter of personal choice, but I'll laugh secretly at anyone silly enough to shell out 50$ for a little ingame pet, a crappy artbook and a mousepad. :p
