The Injustice issue may be a size problem? I doubt it, but I know that Zavvi and Game won't ship large items abroad, so it's possible.

I'm totally hyped about this even with all the negative comments about it, have had my CE pre-ordered since September. 5 more days, it looks to play much better than AVP and I thought that game wasn't that bad. But i'm a huge fan.

I have a quick, probably dumb, question. I just got the pal UK collector's edition version of Pandora's Tower from a third party seller on Amazon.com. It has no shrink wrap on the outer box and also not even on the game inside the box and I ordered it to be new. The seller says that all these CEs for Pandora's Tower pal UK don't have shrink wrap on it, but I think he is full of it. I was wondering if anyone had ordered it and this is actually the case?
Thank you in advance for the help.

Did gamestop change their policy on the deposit for pre-orders?

I could of sworn that pre-orders $100 and up need a $25 deposit but not for special editions like $80. Was trying to reserve GoW Ascension and the guy told me I needed $25 thought that only applied to the more expensive pre-orders.

There was no shrink wrap on mine, not on the outer box or on the game case itself. There is a multilingual manual that came in a plastic baggie.

All CEs now take $25 deposits now I think.

yup. I had to put down $25 for walking dead collectors ($69.99) late last year.

I was concerned about that too when i got mine back in December.. but doing a google search seemed to reveal that thats just the way that they come. I got mine directly thorough Amazon UK so i doubt they're opening games on peoople =P Its strange as hell. I dont think other UK CE games come like that. At least no other one i've ordered before

Thanks for the quick reply. I did do a google search, but I was unsure. I figured someone here would have ordered the UK Pal Pandora's Tower CE and I would be able to get a definitive answer.

Yeah, I don't mind. I mean, you are going to pay the full amount eventually anyway, and if you decide you don't want it, you still get your full deposit back.

A fine guess - but that is not always the case. Of large imported games, I have ordered the Hitman Absolution Professional Edition (the one with the big vinyl 47 figure) and NnK: Wizard Edition from Amazon UK. Both large, both shipped here.
My advice is to keep checking every couple days to see if it will go through.

Yeah, I have one on pre-order from Newegg (got it during the $12 off coupon time) for $87.99. Still deciding if I'm gonna keep it or not. The game might not be too bad.

Yea I know but I just didn't have the money on me and it was weird when they told me could of sworn that only applied to games over $100.

yup, no problem. I dont get a bug up my butt when people ask about junk you can kinda get through a google search. I understand that sometimes you want to hear from people on a forum you frequent. I cant guarentee the guy you bought it from sent you a new copy, but that IS the way its supposed to come.

Will the Last of Us Survival Edition be available at Best Buy or is it retailer specific?

This is still unknown at this point. So far it's only available at GameStop and Amazon.

If I get a CE of The Last of Us, it's definitely going to be the Survival Edition now that I see the more expensive option doesn't include the Art book. The statue is nice, but not worth that much...not by a long shot.

I don't get why people keep saying that. Yes it's expensive but it's not overpriced, quality vg statues go for a lot. For the average CAG the statue alone isn't worth it but as a collector of this kind of stuff, it seems like a pretty good deal (even better if the game is as good/does as well as we think).

Yes, but plastic CE pack-in statues do not.

Originally Posted by BrandonJF Yes, but plastic CE pack-in statues do not.

You say that as if it's some cheap pack-in McDonald's quality. Max Payne 3's was kinda bad, but Assassin's Creed's for example was very high quality and well worth the price. Have you physically seen the statue? The maker of it produces very impressive stuff, I don't see what makes you think it's so cheap. Someone may also try to accuse me of "trying to justify my purchase because I regret it"; I haven't put down a single cent on this and can cancel it whenever I want.
