If you’re unfamiliar with World of Tanks, here’s a quick summary: you drive tanks, other players drive tanks, and everyone tries to blow each other’s tanks up. It’s a pretty simple concept, but the game has done remarkably well and is quite popular among the freemium crowd.

Of course, wherever there is a popular game, there is money to be made. Looking to cash in on the success of their franchise, Wargaming.net is releasing an in-store version of World of Tanks, which will be available in European shops as of December 2.

The game will run you 10 Euros and comes with extra goodies worth around 20 Euros, such as 50,000 game credits and a special tank unit. Purchasing this version of the game also gives you a premium account for one week, as well as access to a printed strategy guide. Not too shabby for 10 Euros, assuming 10 Euros isn’t a lot of money. It’s not, right?
Look for World of Tanks in Germany, Austria, the UK, Switzerland, Italy, Scandinavia, Spain, Greece, France, Portugal and Benelux.

Would you buy a game you can play for free, assuming the bonuses were worthwhile?
