Christmas is coming early for World of Warcraft players as the latest expansion, Cataclysm is set to be released this coming December 7, Tuesday. True to Blizzard tradition, there will be special edition box set of Cataclysm with these included:

• Art of the Cataclysm Art Book – Featuring 176 pages of never-before-seen images from the archives of the Blizzard Entertainment Cinematics Department and the World of Warcraft development team, as well as progressive visuals from multiple stages of development.
• Exclusive In-Game Pet – He may not be a breaker of worlds just yet, but Lil’ Deathwing will still proudly accompany heroes on their struggle to save Azeroth from his much, much larger counterpart.
• Behind-the-Scenes DVD – Includes over an hour of developer interviews and commentaries, as well as a special Warcraft retrospective examining the rich gaming history of the Warcraft universe.
• Game Soundtrack – Featuring 10 epic new tracks from Cataclysm, and exclusive bonus tracks.
• Special-Edition Mouse Pad – Depicting Deathwing menacing the ravaged continents of Azeroth.
• World of Warcraft Trading Card Game cards – Includes a 60-card starter deck from the Wrathgate series, two extended-art cards, and two Collector’s Edition-exclusive hero cards, marking the first appearance of goblin and worgen heroes in the TCG.

While I was doing this post I just got out of the phone from people at Datablitz. They are not sure if we here in the Philippines will be following the actual date or if we will be selling the special edition box set. They haven’t set the price yet for both the expansion and the special edition.

So till it comes all we have is this video to tide us over:
