Where to buy COD Collector's Edition in the United States?

[Melbourne, FL]

Actually I'm rather surprised to see such positive comments on the collectors edition. I like collectors editions and have them for rather many different games but this was by a long shot the worst so far. The cloth map is ridiculous bad quality as well as the Spitfire handbook which doesn't have any feel of age and authenticity to it (besides all the spelling errors). Typically many collectors editions have such items and sometimes they are cheap quality which makes them worthless...but sometimes they are really nice and creative. But I would have lived with those low quality items...because I was more out for the manual.

I was hoping for at least some information on the more complex systems of the aircraft...mostly the engines and how to operate them. Because how else should I learn these systems? But in the manual there is not even the slightest information about this but a lot of generic stuff probably mainly copy-pasted from some other sources. Absolutely no useful information in there I'm sorry to say. I remember so many helpful manuals like the one for Falcon 4.0 or the separately sold manual for LOMAC that really helped you understand the airplanes and the way their systems work but this was rubbish. Most games (not collectors editions) come with similar manuals and I never read them because they are not worth my time like the manuals of many older games were.

So in summary the manual would have been ok if it would have been with the standard edition of the game (since the standards for these free manuals are so low today) and the additional items are very poor quality. To me the collectors edition was a total waste of money and I can absolutely not recommend to but it.

Edit: Actually...I forgot one positive thing...the box is not bad.

To ad, the whole manual of the CE will be installed as PDF in the game installation folder. The very few pages that are realy usefull are easy to print......

Can anyone (admin) confirm that?

From what I have read since Clod first appeared is that there is no USA collectors edition.

They were available in England,Australia and some European countries.

I have seen no evidence that any US shop or etailer has it listed.I have not even seen anyone importing the EMEA(Europe,Middle East,Asia) version.

Gogamer imported and sold some standard boxed EMEA versions but had some duplicate key problems.(they have been down now for a couple of months)

I suppose it is possible that after the official North American release some might surface.
