Now granted, "classy" isn't the first word that pops into my mind when I see little metal men -- in fact, it would probably be one of the last descriptors to come up -- but look at that slick art for the box/book/CD covers. I can picture an aged gentleman smoking a pipe by the fireplace while eying it thoughtfully.
When Civilization V journeys to retail outlets on September 21, you'll have the opportunity to get the $99.99 version in North America. Quite a jump in price, isn't it? This is what the extra cash gets you:
- 5 metal figurines by Reaper Miniatures
- A 2-disc CD soundtrack
- A behind-the-scenes DVD (oh joy!)
- Most importantly, a 176-page hardcover art book
I for one will be respectfully passing on it. I dig Civilization, just not that much. Where do you stand?

Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Is this the solution to piracy? I don't think it will help.
I'll be getting this... I need a job...
Collector's Editions stack physical goods in them so that software pirates feel inclined to buy the product rather than pirate just the software. This even happens with regular versions like Pokemon HG/SS's Pokewalker.
In this way, it may be viewed as a way to curb piracy. However... when the price of these editions supercede 75 USD and up, I wonder how much extra money or piracy curbing actually occurs?
Deluxe packaging does influence some people to buy the game, actually.
But who knows, maybe they'll sell like the WFC launch DLC characters. Dumbfucks should have waited, and now their going to be released with the upcoming DLC.
Man I don't want this special edition.
Plus I bet I get it at a discount on amazon.
Who am I kidding, I'm on no matter what...

Ask yourself if Blizzard really needs your Cataclysm money to stay afloat.
