Modern Warfare 3 Hardened Edition Details Leaked
RangerXML posted up this article from kotaku.com:
The "Hardened Edition" of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 appears to have had its contents outed earlier than officially planned, contents that include a one year membership to Activision's Call of Duty Elite service and other virtual goods.
Wired reports that it received a photo of an advertisement for Modern Warfare 3's "Hardened Edition" from an anonymous source. That ad promises a long list of bonuses for those who are comfortable spending more than the standard $60 USD asking price.
The "Hardened Edition" will reportedly include the aforementioned Elite membership—which includes "future Call of Duty: MW3 downloadable game content," like map packs—and "Special Founder Status" for Elite, granting "Hardened" owners exclusive emblems, camo and "more exclusive benefits."
In terms of physical goods, expect a Steelbook case, special game disc art and a "collectible field journal" 100 pages long.
Attendees of this week's Call of Duty XP convention will be getting a free copy of the "Hardened Edition."
Typically, Activision prices its Call of Duty "Hardened" limited editions at about $80 USD, with a more expensive variation, the "Prestige Edition," costing almost twice that. The publisher has done so for both Black Ops and Modern Warfare 2. I suspect we'll know more about the many ways to buy Modern Warfare 3 by end of week.
So a year free subscription to CoD:Elite is included with the special case and disk. Good question brought up is will this be an offer for the PC and Playstation platform and will the Elite subscription include DLC?
