I do not understand.

They cannot call it an edition, and I am now unreasonably suspicious of this game. That may be the right way to be.

lol what?

Goddamit you guys, no. Just no.

That is not $100 worth of stuff.

Bethesda is so weird about their merchandise.

Who needs the game? With a kit like that you can live Wolfenstein.

pfffftahahahahahahahaha!!! Well done! Very well done indeed! :D

It's just like those Splinter Cell figures I saw for sale in the games section without an actual game attached. Whatever, if you're into it get it.

whaaaa? that's got to be a mistake.

@phantomzxro: Thats very true, but it looks like Bethesda will be primarily selling these out of their own webstore.

Honestly, this is a fantastic idea, but they really need to change the name to something like the I-Want-This-Assortment-Of-Stuff-Now-But-I'll-End-Up-Buying-The-Actual-Game-On-Steam-In-Six-Month's-Time-When-it's-Ten-Dollars Edition

Poorly worded, very poorly. But, I think this actually has potential. Does seem pricey for what's being offered, but maybe that's just me being sick of all these worthless statues.

If it doesn't come with the game... who is gonna sell it? Toys R Us?

Thats not an Edition, it's just a buch of extra crap they're also selling.

The naming is dumb but the idea is not stupid. Instead of flooding the market with CE for each console they just make a universal one and have the customer buy the game for their preferred platform. This avoids the CE of the poorest selling platform to stay on the shelves and being sold at a discount months later.

I think that's the common sentiment towards this 2014 Wolfenstein brought to us by not-id.

OH. MY. GOD. WOW.

This wont cause any market confusion. Nope.

@fluxwavez: Odd is not the word I would use to describe it...

That steelbook case is going to do a great job of holding my digital copy of the game though

They better slap big bright glowing warnings all over the box of this thing saying "NO GAME INSIDE" because the first person who is interested in the game but didn't stay on top of the news for it and buys it and doesn't get the game with it is going to be piiiiiiiiiissssssssed.
And with a dumb move like this, rightfully so.

Stupid...

It makes sense to make a collectors edition without a game since they are releasing the game for 5 different platforms and so you could place any of them into the steelbook, but charging 100 is just stupid.

Cut it in half, at least, especially considering you get so little.

Here's another edition, that does include the game! Shame about censoring the swastikas, though.

That's pretty dumb.

Words fail me. What on earth were they thinking!?
