omg the drone was useless! my coworker got the hardened edition, i got the care package. only difference in the two was the blasted drone. its literally Styrofoam. cheap as hell, and out of the box one propeller didn't work. i was sooooooo beyond disappointed with this. i mean every "collectors" package in the past was amazing, night vision goggles, real sturdy rc car, and then this? shame on you activision. my 20$ rc helicopter is better built than this. its what i get for splurgging on something that sounded too good.

Ok, before you buy the Care package edition think about it. The Hardened Edition is 95 bucks and has everything in the Care Package Edition except for the Helicopter. Do you really think that dumb helicopter that you'll never use and breaks in 5 minutes is worth 100 DOLLARS! HELL NO! So just buy the 60 base version (which is also an awful game, I would just get MW3 or BF3 instead) of the game and save 140 dollars that you could spend on something that is helpful in your life. I bought the normal version of this game because I'm smart, but my friend bought the Care Package Edition and boy was he upset when he flew his helicopter into the wall and it shattered. All the Care Package Edition is, is a way for Activision to scam you out of your money. So don't buy this game or this edition of this game and don't trust Activision because this is only one of many times they've tried to scam 13 year old kids out of money.Best Deals for Call of Duty: Black Ops II Care Package
I normally don't write many reviews but as I had recently purchased the Care package for my son I felt compelled to provide some feedback. I purchased this package for the "normal" price of $179 and I was fully aware I was paying a premium for the helicopter. The unit arrived on launch day which was very good and 5 stars to Amazon for getting this to my house on time. My son, thus far, really likes the game so the game overall receives 5 stars. The problem I have is that the helicopter was defective on arrival. The only option available by Amazon is to return the entire package and order a new one separately. That is a bit annoying. I understand that there is little that can be done, but to package everything back up and ship it out and then wait for a refund (that could take 2 weeks after arrival) it's just a bit much. I also had to order and pay for the replacement as an exchange was not an option.Overall, I think the game is worth it but the helicopter is not. I asked my son (14 years old) if he wanted the helicopter replaced and he said yes so we'll see if the new one works. I will update this review upon receipt of the new package.
Honest reviews on Call of Duty: Black Ops II Care Package
Great package! The case is well built and the drone is fun to mess around in the house maybe even outside on a windless day. They even included the 4 AA's needed to power the controller. The controller has a cord you could use to charge the drone along with a USB cord if you wanted to charge it from a computer. Could not be any happier with my purchase.Side thoughts.. (Not meant for those whose drones were defective)
For those not impressed with the drone I wonder what you thought you'd actually be getting. Any high end package for a game offers nothing more than something to display. Yeah it works but is not meant to be what you are paying for.
The R/C car with the Prestige edition of Black Ops while cool requires 14 AA batteries, not included, to run and honestly eats them up. It is seriously a noisy piece of equipment of the same quality as any cheap R/C car you get from Walmart, Target, etc. The only bonus was you got a camera and mic that were of mediocre quality. Again it is more for display than actual use as the range you could control it was maybe 25 feet at most before it'd start glitching.
I know some will point to the night vision goggles of MW2 saying that was well made and they were BUT you could easily find a set of NVG of the same quality for less than the extra cash you paid for the package at the time.
A "collector's edition" for any game is just that, for collectors. Those who like a product and want to have something that you can not get anywhere else to display in their home. Anyone who expects more is foolish.

The "special" extra merchandise is in fact cheap and flimsy and does not compare to the high gloss pictures in the advertizing.That, however, is nothing new.
All in all, I as the dad, find this still a worthy collectible for the fan boy.
What really irritated me, was the fact that the first delivery got "lost" on the way from one postal warehouse to the next.
That also happens, especially around christmas time.
The third party CS agents, from the accent and level of English language skills sitting in a Call Center in India, did nothing but feed us template lines and drag things out day after day after day, and even had the nerve to suggest that we indeed had received the package and were attempting to commit fraud.
Amazon's own CS then, however, was most professional and immediately went after the case. In the end we received a new shipment, free of charge, and had the shipping costs refunded.
Thank you very much for that!
The game itself is what it is you love it or hate it. I personally stopped liking the franchise after Black Ops 1, but then that is only my personal taste and opinion. My son loves it and I have to admit it looks cool.
