The special Collector's Edition package, which will only be available at retail stores, will include the following exclusive bonus items in addition to the game disc:

* Art of the Cataclysm art book, featuring 176 pages of never-before-seen images from the archives of the Blizzard Entertainment cinematics department and the World of Warcraft development team, as well as progressive visuals from multiple stages of development.
* Exclusive in-game pet: he may not be a breaker of worlds just yet, but Lil' Deathwing will still proudly accompany heroes on their struggle to save Azeroth from his much, much larger counterpart.
* Behind-the-scenes DVD with over an hour of developer interviews and commentaries, as well as a special Warcraft(R) retrospective examining the rich gaming history of the Warcraft universe.
* Soundtrack featuring 10 epic new tracks from Cataclysm, including exclusive bonus tracks.
* Special-edition mouse pad depicting Deathwing menacing the ravaged continents of Azeroth.
* World of Warcraft Trading Card Game cards, including a 60-card starter deck from the Wrathgate series, two extended-art cards, and two Collector's Edition-exclusive hero cards, marking the first appearance of goblin and worgen heroes in the TCG.



The first two World of Warcraft expansions, The Burning Crusade(R) and Wrath of the Lich King(R), each shattered PC game sales records upon their release. In Cataclysm, the face of Azeroth will be forever altered by the return of the corrupted Dragon Aspect Deathwing. Players will explore once-familiar areas of the world that have now been reshaped by the devastation and filled with new adventures. In an effort to survive the planet-shattering cataclysm, two new playable races -- worgen and goblins -- will join the struggle between the Alliance and the Horde. As players journey to the new level cap of 85, they'll discover newly revealed locations, acquire new levels of power, and come face to face with Deathwing in a battle to determine the fate of the world.

The beta test for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is currently underway. To set up a Battle.net account and sign up for a chance to participate, please visit the official Battle.net website at http://www.battle.net.

The World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Collector's Edition will be available on DVD-ROM for Windows(R) XP/Windows Vista(R)/Windows(R) 7 and Macintosh(R) at a suggested retail price of $79.99. The release date and other details for the game will be announced in the months ahead.

does the bolded means it comes with BC and WOTLK ? aswell ?
 
All I can see is a sales pitch and some gumpfh about sales records, reading it I can honestly say I made no assumption or association with anything to do with BC and Wrath bundled with Cata.

If you follow the link posted you see what exactly is in the collectors edition pack. The original game, TBC or WOTLK are NOT included

Unfortunately, no. If you read just what I cut, you'll see that it is just the website you copied that off boasting about how well the first two expansions have done since their release, and it just seems like a method to introduce Cataclysm. It won't be coming with the two older expansions, dream on :P!

It's an expansion, not a multi-pack like the WoW Battlechest that came out with BC (Vanilla WoW & TBC in one box)

If you really think about it some more, the people that buy the collector's edition are very likely to be current WoW players - Not many of them are going to be Vanilla-WoW-only players, and are going to have the expansions already.

Is it just me or do others think Blizzard missed an opportunity to bundle the Mobile Authenticators with Cataclysm?
Yes it would have cost more initially but save them a fortune in the long run. People who have Cata would have no excuse for not having their account security up to par either.

I didn't even think of this, yes I suppose it could be a good idea to at least sell some copies of cataclysm with an authenticator, but I've already got one, they're not exactly pricey :p.

Buuut in saying this, not everyone buys their copies of games in-store anymore, which means the physical device alongside would be rendered entirely useless when downloading directly from the battle.net website. ;).
 
Imagine a box set with WoW, TBC, WotLK, and Cataclysm Collector Editions in one.

Would cost about £200 for starters. :D
