The Call of Duty series has traditionally loved to squeeze extra cash out of its loyal fans by selling them Prestige or Hardened editions of the games that have included everything from real night-vision goggles to the RCXD, a remote controlled RC car with a camera on the front.

Black Ops 2 is upping the ante by including new exclusive items that will be familiar to fans, such as a care package and RC drone, in this year’s limited edition copies.

More info after the break.
