Burning Crusade collector's edition unveiled

For those of you for whom a simple box and CD just won't adequately express your love for a game, Blizzard announced today the details of the World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Collector's Edition.

The Collectors Edition will feature:

• World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade on both CD and DVD

• World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Behind-the-Scenes DVD

• The Art of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Hardcover Art Book

• Exclusive In-Game Pet: Netherwhelp

• Two World of Warcraft Trading Card Game Starter Packs, plus Exclusive Cards

• Map of Outland Mouse Pad

• World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Soundtrack CD

The behind the scenes DVD will feature more than two hours of developer interviews, commentary, trailers, cinematics from the game, and, if weren't able to make it to California, footage from the panel discussions at BlizzCon.

If you are interested in getting into the WoW trading card game, two TCG starter packs, one for you and one for a friend will be in the Collector's edition to get you properly hooked in the physical world as you are already in the virtual one.

And of course the pièce de resistance for any gamer, the exclusive in-game pet, the netherwhelp, which is apparently the love child of the nether drake flying mount that you will be soon grinding for hours to obtain.

Pricing and availability of the Collector's Edition were not released, but finalizing the details of what will go in the box might just be a sign that the expansion pack is close to finished.

Now if they would only send me my beta invite.
