‘Wolfenstein: The New Order’ Fancy-Ass Collector’s Edition Includes Everything… Except the Game

If you're dedicated to the gamertastic, you've surely ventured into the seedy world of the collector's edition. In exchange for twice or thrice the amount of your Earth dollars, all kinds of fan-extras await. Figures, art cards, soundtrack CDs, hardback books for the more ambitious offerings... It's all there, it's all frivolous and it's all damn well needed. Apparently.

Still, let's not forget the primary purpose of our purchase (that's fun to say): the game itself. Unless you're Wolfenstein: The New Order. Like the fearless renegade bastards from the depths of the devil's ass that they are, these guys haven't even included the game in their special edition.

It's a fancy looking collection, for sure. Look at that packaging! The little robo-dog thing! The stupid amount of imaginary documents! How could Wolfensteinaholics with a spare $100 resist? The only kick in the ass here is the empty steel case to house the game. Which is not included in the Panzerhund edition.

Now, when you buy a Collector's Edition of Wolfenstein: The New Order, it's not unreasonable to expect to find effing Wolfenstein: The New Order somewhere in there. So when the police find you pounding on the windows of the developers' office with your bloodied fists, howling where's my bastarding Wolfenstein, you'll definitely have right on your side. This isn't a new idea, what with Dead Space 3 and such doing the same in the past, but still: say what?
