    Feel free to lock if old:
     

    An exclusive in-game pet, art book, mouse pad and trading cards are among the goodies that will be included in "limited-release" Collector's Edition of World of Warcraft's expansion pack Cataclysm, Activision has announced.

    The retail-exclusive edition will be released in both Windows and Mac flavours, and run you $79.99. Activision promises to announce a release date "in the months ahead" to update the broad "back half of 2010" release window given in February.

    The Collector's Edition full list of fancy features and perks follows.

    • 'Art of the Cataclysm' art book, featuring 176 pages of never-before-seen images from the archives of the Blizzard Entertainment cinematics department and the World of Warcraft development team, as well as progressive visuals from multiple stages of development.
    • Exclusive in-game pet: he may not be a breaker of worlds just yet, but Lil' Deathwing will still proudly accompany heroes on their struggle to save Azeroth from his much, much larger counterpart.
    • Behind-the-scenes DVD with over an hour of developer interviews and commentaries, as well as a special Warcraft retrospective examining the rich gaming history of the Warcraft universe.
    • Soundtrack featuring 10 epic new tracks from Cataclysm, including exclusive bonus tracks.
    • Special-edition mouse pad depicting Deathwing menacing the ravaged continents of Azeroth.
    • World of Warcraft Trading Card Game cards, including a 60-card starter deck from the Wrathgate series, two extended-art cards, and two Collector's Edition-exclusive hero cards, marking the first appearance of goblin and worgen heroes in the TCG.

    That's double the price of the game.

    It's an expansion so not really a new game and I think it's a great price since the past expansions were a lot more expensive.

    I think Lich King was $40, with a $70 CE. I can see them going $50 for this, given the $79.99 CE.

    I'm in Canada so Lich King was $60 with tax and the CE was around $120 so exactly 2x more expensive.

    The Call of Duty: Black Ops Prestige Edition is $150. Almost 3 times the standard price

    SE in the UK will probably retail at around £69.99-79.99 and I would really like it as I always wanted a pet dragon, in fact my first WoW character was a Tauren hunter as it looked really cool and thought i could tame a dragon.

    I freakin' love the art book that comes with the CE, and the boxes always look awesome on the shelf.

    I didn't get the CE for either of the expansions or the original game so I'll probably get the CE for this one.
