Modern Warfare 3's Hardened Edition Will Cost $99.99

While previous Hardened Editions of Call of Duty games have rang up for $80, Activision is upping the cost to $100 for Modern Warfare 3. This is most likely because of the inclusion of a year of Elite, which would cost $50 by itself.

Here's the full list of what comes in the package:

  • A year of Elite
  • Elite perks: in-game emblem, camouflage, clan XP boost, player card, and more
  • Exclusive PlayStation Network theme
  • Juggernaut outfit for your Xbox Live avatar
  • Fancy steel case
  • 100+ pages of sketches and other military source material
  • Unique disc art

The Hardened Edition will launch alongside the standard game this November.

  • Still a good deal. I think MW3 is going to be amazing. I think it might have a good chance a GOTY.
  • If i can afford it ill be getting this version.

  • I've cancelled my pre-order because of the MP I saw yesterday. I'm not at all happy with the direction of the game.

    *edit* The reason why I think the MP isn't a good direction is because of the support strike pack. If you die twenty time but get 1 kill every time you die, you can get a EMP, remote turret, and advanced UAV (blackbird) for you great effort. You don't even have to be doing objective support in any way. You can also switch out the remote turret for stealth bomber.

    This is the worst addition to any COD ever. I am severely disappointing. If anyone knows me they know I have been very excited for MW3. I've been pretty pro-active about it. This isn't a fanboy, cause I'm not even getting BF3. I switched my MW3 pre-order to Gears 3.
  • Im gonna get it. Im such a sucker.
  • Neat.

  • Is there still going to be a prestige edition?
  • Why am I not surprised they raised the price?
  • What in the hell is "clan XP boost"?
  • Eh, I might get this. I still want to see what the Prestige Edition will have. I own the MW2 and BO Prestige Editions, so I might want to continue this collection by buying the next one (if it's good).

  • $100 instead of $110 for elite and the game separately. I guess its a good deal if your a die hard but still ridiculously overpriced even if it does ease the burden of the high priced dlc. Activision milked there last dime out of me with black ops
  • Very concerned about the amount of already announced dlc schedule. Most of this should be in the game already if they have it finished already in my opinion.
  • of course they raise the price, will be getting uncharted collectors instead, same price, actually get something with uncharted
  • case looks really raw, but I will need more than just a year of elite to fork over that much money for a hardened edition.
  • If you plan on getting all the DLC it is still cheaper to get this. If i do get MW3 i'll probably buy this although i'm still curious about the prestige edition if they are even going to gave one so i guess i'll just have to wait and see.
  • So I submit the news tip 2 days ago with a link and nothing? Oh well haha XD
  • Wasn't planning on getting it anyway but it still seems like a good enough deal to me. Of course no one also mentions it also comes with an art book and a few other things besides just the year of elite, but everyone likes to paint Activision as greedy.
  • I submitted a news tip about this...
  • So basically it will cost the same amount as getting the regular game and a subscription of elite? the hell?
  • thats a funny joke...

  • This'll be the first time ever I haven't gotten a CoD. Instead of making improvements they went backwards. They made only a handful of improvements and that includes one really bad one(strike packs or w/e they are called).
