(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Alright so after looking at Wondoh's thread I came up with a couple questions maybe you guys could answer for me.

Alright so question,

1st:

Here is the Prestige Edition:

Here is the Hardened Edition:

Alright so the differences I can find between them is if you get the Hardened Edition you won't get the carepackage or the uav flying thing. But I also do notice the differenece between with the (Prestige) it says Exclusive PlayStation 3 System Multiplayer Theme & Zombies Theme. And then with the (Hardened) it says Exclusive Xbox Live CLaw Avatar Prop and Zombies Avatar Costume. Now for which console you will be buying it for it will include that or will it have something Different for the Xbox360 and or Ps3?

2nd: It says on both Exclusive Weapon Camo and Exclusive Player Card Backgrounds. Now are these going to be the same in both packages or will they be different depending on which package you get? (Same goes with the Limited Edition Challenge Coins) Not really sure what those are but if anybody could fill me in on them and also let me know if they are going to be the same in both editions.

3rd: Where the hell is elite? Is Elite going to offer all the content like in Mw3? And include Zombies and Multiplayer maps etc...? And will it be the same price.

4th: Will these two special edition items be in full stock until release day also so you have time to make up your mind? Or will there be a stupid limited amount of supply.

5th: On the Black Ops 2 third pre-order option which are you choosing?

If I think of anymore questions I will just edit them in and if you happen to know anything just post below as it will be much appreciated. Thanks

1.) I would assume that it's in both, but not really sure. Most likely so, to be fair.

2.) I'd imagine they'd be the same. ONLY thing that would be different is if the Prestige Edition offered two weapon camos, and player cards, while Hardened offered one, which is something they should've done. Set the people a prart who bought what editions.

3.) Elite is NOT included in these editions this time around. David said that this time, and so far no mention to Elite has been made by Treyarch. I think they realized people didn't really like elite and are trying to get away from it, let it be IW's crutch, but who knows. I'd say it's a 50/50 for Elite offering content like MW3 did. Treyarch doesn't need Elite to bring in their customers. Their track record of outstanding customer support, overwhelming support for their games (patching glitches, banning hackers, delivering content, etc) is more than enough to bring people to buy a game signed by Treyarch. We'll have to see on Elite.

4.) I remember the MW3 problem. The GameStop Across the street had the Presige Edition and Hardened Editions in stock, but where I got my copy at (Local Play N Trade) didn't have them. They told me they could get them, but it'd be about a week week and a half from release date, I opted for a solution to go home and play. Lost out on a Juggernaut Costume for my Avatar and Art book. Oh well.

I inquired about the Prestige Edition for BOII and told my local Play N Trade, that that is what I pre-ordered, and the store owner came out to talk to me, and said he was personally going to contact Activision (I know him very well, actually watched him do it) about getting swag to give away at our release party, and said he was going to insure he had the editions in stock come release day. So HOPEFULLY there will be enough to go around, if not, I don't mind waiting a week or two to get the game. I want that fucking care package.

5.) This isn't relevant to me, as like I said, I pre-ordered from my Local Play N Trade, and I'm helping organize the release party for them, as I'm a fellow retail employee at Walmart in front of them. I know what I'm getting (Game wise, and swag wise from the store) so this isn't relevant. As for if I had to choose one, I'd go for the Quad Rotor. That way you're getting something. Yeah I'd like to go see the Treyarch studios, but honestly, what's my chances of winning that? That headset is nice, but I got my Trittons, so I don't need it. Can never have enough stuff for my Avatar.


That's my thoughts and opinions on the questions at hand, from BOTH a Retail and Gamer perspective.

IF your truly want to know the answers to your questions, tweet Vahn, or Treyarch. They answer a lot of questions on Twitter everyday.

I can't justify nearly £200 on a game, a plastic box, a little quad rotor and elite premium, that is crazy money.
Elite premium needs to be included considering it's £159.99.
I got a 320gb PS3 brand new for less than that.

Yep, I would not buy the prestige edition. I know a friend who's buying it, so I'll just use the quadrotor at his place. The hardened edition is good enough tbh.

If the Prestige edition was cheaper and included elite premium I would get it, I just feel the price is extortionate.

Good dicussion there folks.. i was thinking the same and reading through the posts i know which version im getting lol

Who's to say Elite Premium is not included in the Hardened and Prestige Editions?

Better question is, who the fucking hell cares about Elite? Elite fucking sucks, and let EVERYONE across ALL platforms down with MW3, so I don't have high hopes for it in BO2.

If they include it in the P Edition, then I'll have Elite Premium. If not, then looks like I won't have Elite Premium unless they offer something amazing for getting it this time around.


Either way, I'm still getting the P Edition for Xbox. I have a ROUGH idea of what size that box is going to be, and that quad rotter looks awesome.

For those who want a basic idea of what size that CP is going to be go to your local Walmart (or big box retailer whichever is similar to WM here in the States) go into their housewares section, and look at the foot lockers. That's roughly about what you'll be getting, just on a bit smaller scale.

Only difference between that product I linked, and the CP in the P Edition of BO2 is it's SIZE. Other than that, 100% identical.


inb4 kids who think they know it all say no it's different, and UK fucks start hating on America, and PS3 is better nooobbbbb trolololol (not really) fags :dumb:

I'm going for the hardened edition, since the only real different is the care package and drone and I don't really need them since I would fly it once and then be done with it lol.

Well same here, but on the same hand you get that nice custom made foot locker.

I missed out on the BO Prestige Edition, because I didn't want the car, but I am not missing this one.

That is true , and it woul make for a cool storage for games and such. I know I don't need it but I may just get t to get it lol
