CoV DVD Collectors In game item

Enko · 16-December-05, 04:00 AM

Does anyone know what the in game items are that came with CoV DVD version? CoH DVD came with a badge, a cape, and a different sprint power. The preorders were also supposed to come with an in game item but I never actually checked to see if it was there. I'm pondering what edition to buy since I need another copy of CoV for my second account.

I wouldn't waste your money. The only "in-game" items that you'll get is Powerslide and the Arachnos cape. The other stuff that came in the box is junk. CuppaJo told me that everyone will have the opportunity to get access to all four helments real soon anyway.

I got the pre-sell DVD version at GameStop, which featured the Blood Widow helmet. Stupid thing is, you can't change the colors of it, which severely limits what colors your hero can use (uh, red, blue, or black...even white looks stupid).

Go cheap....get the regular version unless you really want that Arachnos cape (which does look cool....but not an extra $20.00 cool).

EDIT: Oh, I forgot. The ingame badge. It's the VIP badge with a different name, the "Destined One".

destined one came with CoH DVD since I already got that badge on my main account. anyways, i think i'll just buy a copy off of amazon or from best buy. $40 from each though with amazon if I sign up for their credit card its only $10 with the $30 off.

edit: best buy is $34.99. since it comes with a month of time as well, that's pretty much like I'm only paying $20 for it. I'll just wait until the DVD version is down to $20 before buying it.
