Warhammer Online: Collector's Edition Preview

During a trip up to DC, JR Sutich got hands on with the Warhammer Online Collector's Edition. As our resident and offers his impressions of what is in the box, in what is always an important announcement for the hardcore.

The Collector's Edition contents were decided upon by asking the question, "What are the quintessential elements of Warhammer?" One of the answers is of course, miniatures. But there are also great stories and great art.

Using White Box Technology™, EA Mythic showed that the box itself will be about 13"x10"x3" and will tip the scales at around 7 lbs. Much like everything about Warhammer, it could be used to crush a skull. The box art itself looked amazing and even if the box wasn't gigantic will be sure to make the CE stand out on store shelves.

As a little side note with this I see people like Play.com are advertising this pre-order for a retail price of £59.99 (free delivery), which is nearly a straight £ - $ conversion of the US copy that is $79.99 which is a bit rough... however I have found that http://www.gameplay.co.uk have it listed for pre-order for only £39.99 (+0.99p for delivery).

I checked with them today and they say they will have it in limited quantities and that it will be advertised on the site at this price only so long as they have some of that number remaining.. so if anyone in Europe is wanting one for £20 less than the big retailers you may want to check them out :)

I have mine pre-ordered :)
