World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Collector's Edition detailed

Blizzard Entertainment's third expansion to the ever-popular massively multiplayer online role-playing game doesn't yet have a release date, but that didn't stop its maker from announcing and detailing the $80 Collection's Edition for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm today.

In addition to the game disc, players will find a number of exclusive items in the collector's edition ranging from a Lil' Deathwing in-game pet to a behind-the-scenes DVD with more than an hour's worth of footage detailing the game's development.

Deathwing sits atop the game's box art.

The $80 World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Collector's Edition includes a 176-page art book, a Lil' Deathwing in-game pet, behind-the-scenes DVD, and a soundtrack CD. Additionally, the collector's edition will ship with a mousepad depicting Deathwing ravaging Azeroth and a 60-card WoW starter pack from the Wrathgate trading card series.

Blizzard Entertainment did not provide a release date for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm but did promise that more game details will arrive in the coming months. A beta for Cataclysm is currently underway, and those interested in getting in on the prerelease action can sign up using their Battle.net accounts.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Special Edition Includes Video Surveillance Vehicle

Due out this November, the special edition of Call of Duty: Black Ops will include a tiny remote control "video surveillance vehicle" inspired by the game's multiplayer.

The remote control vehicle, inspired by the RC-XD found in the game's multiplayer, has a range of about 200 feet and a fully-functioning remote camera that transmits both color video and audio. The car will only come with the yet-to-be-officially-priced Prestige Edition of the game, which also comes with all of the extras included with the Hardened Edition.

The Hardened Edition includes a custom Black Ops limited edition medal, exclusive Black Ops Avatar outfit (for either Live or Home), as well as four playable cooperative maps.

Both editions will be coming to the PS3 and Xbox 360 when the game ships on Nov. 9. No official price has been announced for either edition, but GameStop lists the Prestige Edition for $150 and the Hardened Edition for $80.

No word on who is manufacturing the vehicle, but since the night vision rig looked an awful lot like it was made by toy maker EyeClops, and toy maker Spy Gear also makes a video camera-sporting truck, I suspect it could be a toy company.

GOOD DEAL: Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures

It's been little less than a year since the next big MMORPG Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures was released. 10 months to be exact. It's hype has come and gone, and despite being a good game, it was unable to find a core audience. Most contribute that to the supposed lack of late-game content. Either way, it is now on sale at Newegg.com for $12.99 (regular edition) or $19.99 (Collector's edition). The collector's edition contains everything in regular in addition to:

• Hand-finished, metal-embossed oversized collector's box with inlay page and individually numbered holographic sticker
• Leather map of Hyboria (faux) 14" x 20"
• The Ring of Acheronia (exclusive in-game item)
• Unique Bonus DVD featuring trailers, behind the scenes, developer diaries, and rich artwork
• Official Age of Conan soundtrack CD
• Art Book (128 pages)
• Five free guest passes giving friends online access to the game for a limited time
• The Drinking Cape (bonus in-game item)
