Just an aside, if you’re one of the few that hasn’t reserved the collector’s edition yet, GameStop has already stopped taking preorders but if you’re lucky, check out BlockBuster. Late last night, my husband and I found out that they’re taking reserves for the collector’s edition of Star Craft 2. Some stores, depending on who is working that night, might even keep the doors open past their closing time of midnight to allow you to take your copy home.
The collector’s edition will run $100 and comes fully equiped with:
- 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(R) 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(R) 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
