WWE '12 The People's Edition

Same game, same contents, different side of the Atlantic. WWE '12 The People's Edition on Xbox 360 was the US counterpart, available exclusively through the online THQ store. While UK fans grabbed theirs from Play.com, American collectors had to go straight to the publisher's own shop.

The People spoke, and The Rock answered. THQ's Facebook vote between a Rock-fronted edition and a John Cena edition played out exactly how you'd expect, and the resulting People's Edition delivered a solid package of Rock-themed collectibles. The foil sleeve cover gives the case a premium feel, while The Rock as a playable DLC character was the main gameplay hook. A WWE DVD with matches from "Greatest Superstars of The 21st Century," an exclusive foil Topps Trading Card, and an art image of The Rock fill out the bundle.

The THQ store exclusivity is what makes this US version its own thing for collectors. Different storefront, different region, same People's Champion. For anyone building a complete 360 wrestling collection with regional variants accounted for, this is the stateside companion piece to the UK release. The foil trading card remains the standout physical item, a tangible piece of wrestling memorabilia wrapped in a gaming package.
