Has Blizzard even mentioned a CE for HotS? I don't think so.
If they do, I'll buy it. But I doubt they will release it for an expansion.

You didn't read the thread did you?
Comparing BW with SCII is like comparing a beautiful three-master sailing ship with a modern battlecruiser. Both are beautiful in their own way, both perform the same task, but they are worlds apart in how they are built and how they are steered.

I want CE models like the CE Thor, and not just 1 model.

Its always the same. Blizzard CEs are terrible.

- Baneling Pet for WoW (no SC2 player outside of bronze still plays this terrible WoW-Game!)
- Portaits ...couldn't care less!
- Diablo 3 Flag ...teh fuck?

Seriously, in the Skyrim Standard-Edition for 27€ from Amazon I got a Small Soundtrack and a Map ...that is way better than this CE from Blizzard.

I hope it doesn't cost 35€. I only made 27€ until now with Diablo 3 Gold (and 270€ with d3 betakeys, but that doesn't count!) and I want to use that for HotS...

If they do the same sort of thing with a thor for a zerg unit, it's probably going to be an ultra with just some more spikes.

Quite honestly there isn't any information on HotS:CE except from some random mmo sites? I find that hard to trust since everything on the internet is true. -__-


"- Baneling Pet for WoW (no SC2 player outside of bronze still plays this terrible WoW-Game!)

Seriously? That's not CE material.
WoW (despite being a win-win-win game) Pets offer nothing to the SC player.
Portaits....maybe a bonus but not substance.
Diablo3 flags are an utter joke.

I could see a soundtrack or and art book, SOMETHING that offers more.

I really hope for a unique skin for a zerg unit, personally I'd love to see a unique skin on the Overlord, Brood Lord or Ultralisk.

Collector edition is not about _your_ enjoyment of the game, it's to sell units to players of _other_ games that otherwise wouldn't have bothered to buy it.

I know alot of people dont touch the stuff except to collect but I found the BTS commentary and DVD to be really, really interesting. It also helps because they clarify what things mean and whether or not something is meant to be vague or not. The USB stick I still use to this day, although I deleted SC1 off it for the space.

This can backfire though. I bought SC2 CE for the WoW pet and then ended up getting way more into SC2 then I ever was into WoW and canceling my WoW subscription and instead playing an obscene number of ladder matches. This has been a very positive life change for me but I doubt Blizzard's pocketbooks would agree.

That said I'll probably buy the Hots CE and I may have to resub to WoW for 1 month just to check out the pet. Maybe that will return me to my old drug (I doubt it though since SC2 is so much better than WoW).

I buy them only for the awesome artbooks! (and i still use the USB)

And btw, WoL came with a very Terran designed box, maybe HotS will come in an egg! A green slimy egg...

I don't get your point.

The SC2:WoL CE like most CE did some with full soundtrack, behind the scenes dvd/bluray, plus a really cool artbook.

I'm guessing SC2HoTS CE will have same treatment. Special WoW pet, Diablo3 sigils, SC2 special portraits and maybe a unit. And on top the soundtrack, behind the scenes dvd/bluray, artbook. WoL CE also had a few other things.

Unboxing SC2-WoL CE
Only thing I know is that I know nothing.

No, you don't get that HotS is ONLY A EXPANSION. The Standard Edition will probably costs somewhere around 30€ - so they can't make a 90€ CE.
And since Blizzard isn't making the huge money they made back in 2010 they will probably don't want to lose money with their CEs.

I never got into these CE-Ripoffs. I bet 95% of people who bought it, never watched the DVD or looked at the Artbook more than 5min.

Well said to be honest, I never bought a CE either. However, I have loved and played Zerg since the early days of Starcraft. Heart of the Swarm - an expansion specifically dedicated to my favorite race - will become the only exception and then not for the artbook or the wow pet, or even the dvd, but for the ingame skin on a unit or ingame unique zerg portrait.

And no I don't care for plushies - they get dusty, smelly and I'm not a young child (though perhaps in a few years my own child could play with it).

I can tell you if it lacks either an ingame skin or a zerg portrait, it won't be worth it to me either. Though a Zerg themed USB drive or something would probably be fun, that alone won't cut it for me.
