[Confirmed] Call Of Duty: Black Ops III Collector’s Edition Comes With A Mini-Fridge
Update: Activision has announced the Juggernog Collector's Edition as depicted above, further confirming our original story. No pricing has yet been announced, but retailers have the bundle listed for $199.99.
Original Story (July 9 at 8:39 a.m. Central):
An image of a Call of Duty: Black Ops III collector’s edition has surfaced, and zombie fans might want to get out their wallets. If this image is correct, this won’t be an inexpensive one.
The Zombies-themed collector’s edition appears to come with a mini-fridge, Perk-a-Cola coasters, concept art cards, soundtrack, season pass, and in-game digital items. The mini-fridge also includes lights and sounds from the game.
Oh #Treyarch you really know the way to our hearts! #BO3Zombies!

An independent source confirmed to us that the image is legitimate, though we don’t know the price or for which platforms this will be offered. Given that there is a huge Call of Duty zombies reveal at San Diego Comic Con today, we suspect we’ll get all the details soon.
We’ve reached out to Activision for comment and will update should we receive a response.
Note: The image above originated with New Zealand retailer Mighty Ape. You can see the product listing here. The JuggerNog edition is listed at $289.99 NZD, which directly converts to about $193 USD.

Our Take
Fans should brace for impact when the price is revealed on this bad boy. The mini-fridge looks fantastic, and given the zombie-focused fan service here, Activision and Treyarch look to have gone all out.
