'Splinter Cell: Blacklist' Collector's Edition comes with radio-controlled plane

Ubisoft revealed the :Splinter Cell: Blacklist" Paladin Collector's Edition on Friday for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. This special edition turns things up to 11 by not only including physical and in-game content but a radio-controlled airplane as well. And yes, it does fly.

The Paladin Collector's Edition will be released alongside the regular edition of the game on Aug. 20, 2013 but at a steeper $169.99 price. It comes with a copy of "Splinter Cell: Blacklist", a copy of the 88-page Splinter Cell Echoes graphic novel, a poster, the "Billionaire's Yacht" co-op map, the Upper Echelon Pack containing the "Dead Coast" co-op map as well as the Gold Sonar Goggles and Upper Echelon Suit in-game items, and a radio-controlled version of the Paladin airplane modeled after the one that Sam Fisher and his Fourth Echelon team use as their aerial base of operations.

The Paladin radio-controlled model itself is described by Ubisoft as having a "custom three-channel, dual-motor plane modeled after the in-game mobile headquarters." The remote unit is also styled to look like Fisher's night-vision goggles.
