MW3 hardened edition

Leaked image, looks pretty legit imo.


I wonder how much it'll cost because of COD XP for a year.

Nice find, this is actually very tempting.

Tbh if it is £70 like previous hardened edition, it would be an easy buy for me as compared to the black ops and mw2 one, this has much better value to it (albeit not much of a collectors edition considering heavy dlc). Although Robert Bowling said that no prestige edition has been announced (although I do believe there will be as there is a blue box-like structure behind the hardened edition in the picture on the other thread, also the tweet: http://twitter.com/#!/fourzerotwo/st...06523277815808 ). So, maybe it's just one expensive one... Hmm well we will find out in like 2 days.

Perhaps, but then again this is Activision we're talking about so they'll try and milk anything they can from COD.

if it's £70 ill probably get it, i know ill get the DLC anyway so getting this seems like a decent saving

[dbgtz]

Only £90 -.- The rate we get it for is so ridiculous, it's $100 in America yet £90 over here where really it should just be over £60, where the hell does the extra money go? Infact I just realised that the American ones have tax added depending on the state if I remember correctly :L But yeah.

[Ardemax]

Can't you just order from America? I did that with a mouse, but I guess it's not really the same thing haha.

I remember a thread like this pretty much every year before COD comes out, and tbh, everyone is quite hyped up and then after like a month or two after release, the interest factor has just gone.

Soooooo it's not for me... basically.

im in two minds, as much as i say like 'ill never buy MW3' blah blah, i know i will get it, and play it whether it's megafun or not, i also know i'll get all the DLC because i'm a sucker like that. £90 is a quite a bit to spend on a game i may or may not enjoy, but if i do enjoy it lots, i get the DLC for a lot cheaper.
i guess it's down to whether i trust IW to actually release four map packs rather than two haha

Well I'm thinking it that if there are monthly updates for elite, then it must be at least 12 maps = 2 1/2 map packs in theory but these updates may just be game modes. Still I think at least 3 map packs for ~£11. So all in all it will be ~£80 as I'm guessing elite will be £35 anyway (and you can get the norm game for at least £45). The theme/avatar would probs be ~£1.49 making it £81.49. Then there is obviously the book and steelbook to considering aswell so only really if there are 4 map packs do you get a decent amount of content for the price. The problem is though, that the actual RRP is £55 so with elite being £35 estimated the money should be worth the £90 already, but all the shops lower it by around £10 for consoles

I wonder if were going to see a prestige edition.

Ah I forgot about monthly updates, but then they'd surely have to be maps, bringing out game modes for only COD Elite people seems a bit unfair. Maybe the monthly updates are like special weapon camos/callsigns, and then you get the DLC whenever it comes out? in all honesty i'll probably get this package, but untill i get all the DLC, i'll feel guilty about it
