Call of Duty: Black Ops Collector’s Editions

Activision Publishing, Inc. has de-classified details regarding the Collector’s Editions for Treyarch’s upcoming game, Call of Duty: Black Ops, which is expected to be the entertainment event of 2010. The Call of Duty: Black Ops Prestige Edition and the Call of Duty: Black Ops Hardened Edition, are expected to be this year’s hottest collector’s items. Call of Duty: Black Ops launches on 9th November, giving gamers the latest classified surveillance technology - the RC-XD - as part of the Call of Duty: Black Ops Prestige Edition.

For the Prestige Edition, Treyarch and Activision created an entirely original remote controlled surveillance vehicle inspired by the RC-XD from Black Ops Multiplayer. With a range of up to 200 feet, the RC-XD Surveillance Vehicle has a fully-functioning remote camera that transmits both TFT colour video and audio to its operator.

The Prestige Edition is inclusive of the Hardened Edition, which includes a custom Black Ops limited edition medal, exclusive Black Ops Avatar outfit, as well as four playable co-operative maps.

The Prestige Edition is now available in limited supplies for pre-order in the UK, exclusively through HMV, GAME and Gamestation.

"Call of Duty: Black Ops is a game-changing release and will be an absolutely huge event for us - without doubt the defining game of 2010" says, Tim Ellis Head of Games at HMV. "We’ve been gearing up for what will surely prove our biggest title of the year - both online at hmv.com and in-store, and our teams are already on the case planning launch activity that will hopefully give fans of the franchise every chance to share in their passion for this iconic release."

"The COD phenomenon marches on and we know that fans will want to get their hands on this incredible edition" says, Martyn Gibbs, managing director of GAME Group UK. "With one of the most anticipated titles of the year, we’re working hard to deliver a launch that will make us the place to come and celebrate this fantastic game. From the sneak previews we’ve been given, it’s going to be a must-have title and we can’t wait to see how our customers react to the game and this limited edition."
