Which edition of BO will you get?

Nuri Sahin · 28-10-2010 12:24PM #1

As above.

Normal - €50-60

Hardened - €75/80 - 4 extra maps

Prestige - €160ish - extra maps and RC car

If it's true the 4 extra maps(zombies isn't it?) isn't released as DLC for those who buy the normal edition well that's frankly BS. Surely Treyarch aren't so stupid to miss out on that boat.

I'll be getting the Normal version if it's true that seemingly every place is either sold out of the hardened version. I I cba'ed buying prestige version. 80 euro give or take for an RC car that might provide some ****s n giggles for a day or two at most but then resigned somewhere to collect dust. Meh.

*No poll as I'd like to read some opinions and reasoning for choices.

Did you copy paste my post?? :pac:

Anyway, normal as Game aren't taking pre-orders of the Hardened version.

The Floyd p · 28-10-2010 12:26PM

Regular cause I can't afford the rest.

Yep. It(plus a few other posts) inspired this thread

AnneFrank · 28-10-2010 12:28PM

normal for me too i reckon

Tommy_NDX · 28-10-2010 12:29PM

Gettin the hardened version cos the fella in gamestop asked if i wanted it when pre-ordering. I wasn't bothered askin about the prestige edition, doesn't seem worth it to me.

Kersmash · 28-10-2010 12:29PM

I've got the hardened edition preordered. You get:

Custom Black Ops limited edition medal.
Exclusive Black Ops PlayStation Home Avatar outfit.
Four extra co-operative maps.

Oooo a medal

Shiny!

Tallon · 28-10-2010 12:36PM

I'll buy whatever one is available when I get to tesco at midnight.

I seriously don't think treyarch are stupid enough to not give regular users DLC which i don't mind paying for if they turn out to be good

senordingdong · 28-10-2010 12:41PM

Just regular for me, then I'll buy the DLC.
I mean who could give a **** about a medal or an RC car?

GEasy · 28-10-2010 12:47PM

I'll be doing same as tallon . Tesco is literally a two min walk from the house I'm renting in galway. Worked out well for FIFA too !

Lab_Mouse · 28-10-2010 12:48PM

Ah the 4 extra maps are for ze zombies.Always thought the zombie add on was crap(I know im in the minority for that!)

Will be getting the standard version as I wouldnt pay for zombie maps and not gonna pay for an RC car.
Will be a week lafter release before I get it:mad:

Sprrratt · 28-10-2010 02:45PM

Nice oul durty normal edition. Like a bag ah carrots.

Leeg17 · 28-10-2010 03:03PM

Shpuds you mean?

Normal for me aswell, and zombie maps if they're released as DLC. I would have gotten the hardened if it wasn't sold out everywhere though

iMuse · 28-10-2010 03:05PM

I can almost guarantee that the zombie maps in the hardened edition will be dlc at some stage but could be months after release, This is activision we are talking about, they said the same last year that call of duty classic will be exclusive to the hardened edition only for it to go on sale a few weeks later. But do they justify an extra €20 on top of the normal edition, prob be around 10-15 for the maps on the store and they could be tied up in the 360 DLC timed exclusive deal. Be suprised if they sell out of the hardened edition cause at the MW2 midnight launch they asked if i wanted the H edition, pre order or no pre order.

Shammy · 28-10-2010 03:14PM

I'll probably get the normal version for the 360 seeing as it treyarch . It better be a big improvement on waw otherwise back to mw2 .

Jet Black · 28-10-2010 03:16PM

Might be getting the hardened. Depends on if my online order is sent before friday.

I dont think tesco will have it out for 12. A few people on here went there last year and waited around til 2 before leaving empty handed. Might be just some tescos thou.

Tallon · 28-10-2010 03:18PM

I never heard of that. mine was open at midnight no problem and so were all my mates ones

.E_C_K_S. · 28-10-2010 03:25PM

Normal version for me because I can only afford that!
Would have bought the hardened for the maps if I had the money. I don't care about any medal.... prob would have gone straight into the bin anyways.
Looking forward to it though. Might join the BRDS clan some night and show ye how it's done:D!

There were huge problems with the majority of Tesco branches going from the FIFA release day thread if anyone was following that(twas hilarious). Quite a number of branches released FIFA at 6am due to some new rules enforced thanks to EA. Plus the few who did get it at 12am paid 70 euros. At 9am for me it was 45 or 49 euro(I forget) :pac: They eventually got their difference back though.

Like I have done for the majority of games in my lifetime. I'll pick it up sometime around 9am, hopefully in Tesco of course.

Paparazzo · 28-10-2010 03:28PM

Normal for me. I'll get any dlc when it's released.

Magill · 28-10-2010 03:36PM

Just pre-ordered my copy from game, will more than likely get it in sainsbury's on release day, last year they did mw2 for £26, think it'll probably be £30 this year as long as you buy £30 worth of **** in store... 3 crates beer ???

Why the question marks is all I'll say

Jet Black · 28-10-2010 03:42PM

I think harvey norman had the standard one last year for 37euro. I would say either harvey norman, tesco or maybe smyths would be the cheapest this year. Some places may offer a free tshirt or something. Argos have free dogtags with BO.

If it was iw i'd buy the 2 but because its a treyarch game i'll wait and see.

Lab_Mouse · 28-10-2010 07:59PM

Ì actually realy enjoyed WaW..its got the mp40 for ffs!Still gave it a go when the xbox was working.Each to there own.

Having said that I didnt particularily enjoy MW1 so was pleasantly surprised with IW's MW2.So maybe treyarch might do something special for you shammy!

the_syco · 29-10-2010 12:23AM

Will get the normal one for €60 on Steam.

And I'll be will be playing it on 9/11/10: it in 1 week, 4 days, from now.

Yup. Black Ops comes out in Europe on 911. Who says they don't have some sort of sick twisted humour

Look forward to killing the Nazi zombie.

Exclamation Marc · 02-11-2010 02:21AM

Normal edition for me, and I'm usually mad for Special Editions (have all the Assassins Creeds top releases)

Hardened edition is not worth an extra 1/3 of the gameprice for me for four maps and a medal that will collect dust and frankly look a bit lame on my shelf and a Home avatar (which I don't use)

At least last years Hardened included the original Call of Duty which was worth it, but for four maps, nah.

beertons · 02-11-2010 07:46AM

Normal for me.

Kev_ps3 · 02-11-2010 08:57AM

Normal, in the cheapest shop, at 9am;)

Utopia Parkway · 02-11-2010 05:17PM

No interest in the Prestige. Hardened is too rich for my taste also given your only getting a poxy medal and a couple extra maps that will be on DLC before too long.

Regular edition it is so.

Which edition of BO will you get?
