LMAO That video was hilarious with him whiffing every single item pretty much. I wonder if the guide included in the DE is going to be able to work for the import version or if Atlus ended up changing anything while bringing it here.

If so, I wonder if there's someplace(besides the DE) that I could get the guide by itself for a reasonable amount, since I already have the import and I don't wanna shell out for another copy of the game JUST for the guide.

That video has me tempted to get the collector's edition, although I doubt I will really have use for the guide - I'll just find something on gamefaqs if I need, and I'd rather see how far I can get without it... But it is tempting.

Oh god. I thought I was the only one that sniffed the shit out of every new item I buy. Well, almost everything.

I'm even happier that I decided to get the Deluxe Edition now after seeing that video. So now the waiting game begins...

Damn guys I am going to jump on the CE I think, great video... I was going to wait, damn guide has me eager to order early...

to gamestop I go.

What is this $70 for the game and guide?

Yeah, 70. Save a lot more on it at Amazon where it is 67 plus use 10% ECA discount. Unless you already have credit at GS.

Anyone know when these preorder bonus are going to show?

Muramasa (Wii) had the bonus listed and then 1 of my 3 preorders had it available... so far 3 of the local Gamestops gave me a blank stare and said it should come in the CE case... yeah thats the guide not the preorder bonus...

I know the preorder bonus should come in with the game, if not before... just curious if anyone has gotten one yet, given we are about a week out.

Thanks Saint Noir, I have GS credit or I would use ECA + Amazon for sure.

The bonus should ship with the game but be a separate item. It isn't something GS would have beforehand. So, when they get their orders in, chances are every copy they get initially (preorder or not given how Atlus works) will come with the art book and CD.

ahaha, that "unboxing" vid was great. I lol'd every time the PR guy took a whiff of the products. Cheers to Atlus for their fan service and lack of shame.

But that's before they gut about 10 copies to put out on display on the wall. Then they'll have the 'bonuses' seperate in that way at least.

If I hadn't already splurged and spent most of my GS credit, I would've fully paid off a pre-order there. I can only hope that TRU will get a copy or two of the DE when it releases, since I have about $70 in credit there right now thanks to their trade-in program starting up.

I just wish there were some way to get the guide, other than buying the US version of the game, since all I really need is the damn guide.

dump your version... althought its probably too late in the game now as it wouldnt reach someone before the actual game ships..

I've been trying. I had it up for like $45 shipped for over a month now and only had one bite and I think they chose to go with the DE of the US version from Amazon. Personally, I don't see many really using the online interaction all that much, since I never had anyone come into my game as I was playing and most of the notes/hints that were left were in English.

I just want the guide though, since I don't wanna spend $70 on another copy of this game because I haven't even finished playing through the version I have. I e-mailed Atlus about just buying the guide. I'll wait to see what they say about it.

Might lack the portability of a strategy guide but http://demonssouls.wikidot.com/

has everything you would need to know about the game.

I have a funny feeling I'm going to ragequit even with the DE guide, Wiki, Internetz, etc., lol. Still getting it though. >_<

gamestop CE is inactive as they have hit preorder limit... estarland same thing...

off to another store to see what I can do..

Now that I cant get the CE I want it even more..

Atlus may have made this pretty limited in the end. Has anyone heard how many preorders have been pushed?

I figured the Ce's would be somewhat easy to get.

Thanks. I have my computer right near my PS3, so I can just surf there whenever I get stuck.

Oh and gunm, you will probably quit this game outta frustration multiple times, but still come back to it like I have. It's an addicting, yet frustrating game.

You can still order it from amazon. And with ECA, FSSS, and their current price of $66.99, it's the best value.

No eca code for me.. I cant get that to work. Trying to figure that out now so I can do the order.
FSSS is free second shipping (prime) or something else?

I believe it stands for Free Super Saver Shipping or something like that, Snake2715.

Got in on Pre-order. Can't Wait!

Honestly, other gamers turn me off hard games. (Jak 2. Ninja Gaiden. Viewtiful Joe. Various others.)

Well, don't listen to the latest CAGcast then. Shipwreck said he spent 6 hours on it and couldn't get through the first level. Also, I see nothing about this in the thread here (at least on the last few pages) but he said they made the U.S. version even harder than the Japanese one to get people who were fans of the import to buy it again. That sounds awfully strange to me - what's going on there?

I'm starting to regret my preorder .
