Along with an official press release confirming the game's October 24th release in Europe, Ubisoft has announced the contents of the Far Cry 2 Collectors Edition, which takes the whole special CE box thing in a completely different direction. Rather than package it in a metal tin, as is all the rage these days, Ubi is shipping their Collectors Edition in a wooden box, perhaps so you can set it on fire and compare real life wood burning to the muchly-hyped in-game wood burning. Along with the box you'll receive the game itself (thank goodness), a limited edition t-shirt in a size too small for me, an Art of Far Cry 2 book, a map, and the requisite making-of DVD. Note that nothing concrete has been announced for North America yet, but seeing as concrete would be far too heavy they'll probably go for wood here as well. More »

Problem is, I only have prizes for the top three places. So here's the deal. I've decided to let the readers decide who should get first, second and third place. I realize that there is the potential for spam voting and the like, but I'll be keeping an eye on things through the poll tracker and any sign of cheatyness could lead to immediate disqualification for an entry.
