Wrath of the Lich King Collector's Edition detailed

Here's the thing: selling a Collector's Edition for a game made for collectors isn't fan service ... it's stealing. But if you're comfortable with that, and want to slip a crisp $70 bill into Joe Blizzard's overstuffed g-string, here's what he's offering in exchange:

• The Wrath of the Lich King expansion pack, helpfully jammed onto a DVD-ROM (take that, floppies!)

• A 208-page WotLK art book ... full of art

• Frosty, the baby frost wyrm – an exclusive in-game pet (what, no plushie?)

• A DVD jam-packed with dev interviews, intro cinematic (plus director's commentary)

• Soundtrack CD, featuring the #1 hit single: "Waltz of the Lich King"

• Mouse pad (adorned with a handy map of Northrend)

• Two starter decks for the collectible card game (see: collectors!) and two exclusive cards

You can try to resist, collectophiles, but alas ... you can't. Blizzard will once again triumph over frugality, and your epic quest for debt-free living will end on November 13th.
