You knew it was coming and if you were smart (or just poor at the time) you're in luck as Call of Duty: Deluxe Edition is now on store shelves. The combo pack features the original game, the United Offensive expansion pack, a strategy guide, and a copy of the sound track all for the low price of $39.99. If you like FPS WWII games and you have played it yet do yourself a huge favor and pick this one up(I'm a big fan but not as much of one as John is...seriously, it's kind of scary).
