CoD: Black Ops II Special Editions [UPDATE]

Both the Hardened Edition and Care Package detailed and pictured - pricing revealed

Update: Gamestop (US) lists $79.99 for the Hardened Edition and $179.99 for the Care Package. The standard game will carry a $59.99 MSRP of course. You’ll then want to adjust this pricing accordingly for whatever region you reside in. A new trailer has arrived with this update as well.

Original Article: Once again, it looks like Activision will be going with two special editions for the latest Call of Duty entry, after opting for just standard and Hardened for last year’s release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Aside from the standard edition of Call of Duty: Black Ops II, there will be a Hardened Edition and a Care Package for the game. Without further ado, here are screens and details of the collector's editions:

Hardened Edition
Hardened

- Collectible Steelbook
- Bonus In-game Content: Nuketown Zombies & Nuketown 2025
- Official soundtrack by Zack Wall with theme by Trent Reznor
- Exclusive Xbox Live claw avatar prop & zombies avatar costume
- Limited Edition challenge coins
- Exclusive weapon camo & player card backgrounds
Care Package
Care Package

- Replica Care Package
- Collectible Steelbook
- Bonus In-game Content: Nuketown Zombies & Nuketown 2025
- MQ-27 Dragonfire Drone with remote control
- Official soundtrack by Jack Wall with theme by Trent Reznor
- Exclusive Xbox Live claw avatar prop & zombies avatar costume
- Limited edition challenge coins
- Exclusive weapon camo & exclusive player card backgrounds
For clarification, the Care Package for Xbox 360 also contains the avatar items, but the PS3 bonus is shown in this promo material instead



Pricing for both of these editions has yet to be confirmed. Care to venture a guess on it? Keep in mind both editions pack a lot of goodies, but unlike Modern Warfare 3’s Hardened Edition, these do not contain a Call of Duty ELITE subscription.

Treyarch’s Call of Duty: Black Ops II arrives on November 13th.

I'd say $80 and $150 respectively considering the pricing of it previously. I wonder why they're not including Elite in these packages. If Best Buy adds this to the $20 promotional gift cards, you can count me in for a pre-order!

I like when LEs include the soundtrack. The soundtrack for this game is going to be awesome with Trent on it.

I will be using my $20 from Dishonored to pick up the hardened edition for no extra cost.

I saw on here- http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Call-Duty-Black-Ops-2-Care-... - that Activision said $80 for hardened and 180 for prestige, but take it with a grain of salt.

I don't see why the Hardened/Care Package won't be included considering Borderlands LE and Halo 4 LE are included as well. We shall see though!

Did it last year with the Hardened Edition of MW3, and was reassured this was the case again this year. Other good ones are Halo 4 Limited Edition or the RE6 Archives collection.

One thing I dont like about buying hardened or special editions is you cannot trade them back to Amazon when ur thru with them. So you get no credit whatsoever.
