We're sure Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood will be jam-packed with surprises. "Boo! I just jumped out of some hay and killed you," "Sproing! I was on that rooftop and jumped down and killed you," and so on. But we're not at all surprised that the game is receiving the collector's edition treatment. Heck, perhaps one day the "standard editions" of games will become so rare, everything will go topsy turvy and they'll be the collector's editions!

But we digress.

So, here it is, the AC: Brotherhood collector's edition. Complete with a ... jack-in-the-box? Yep, no matter if you buy the $100 set at GameStop or some other games purveyor, the package will include a freaking creepy charming Assassin's Creed-ized take on the classic childrens' toy (GameStop has a harlequin, for extra creepiness, while everyone else has a plague mask-donning doctor). Also in the box (along with the just-talked-about box): two exclusive single-player maps (Aqueduct and Trajan Market), an art book, a "hard copy strategy map" of Rome (read: it's paper!), the game's soundtrack and a disc containing trailers, a making-of video and a preview of the AC: Brotherhood comic.

The set will arrive day-and-date with the standard edition on November 16.
