Regular edition is oddly £39.99 plus the shipping.


EDIT: Regular edition is now £34.99 and HMV updated the boxart for the collector's edition.

Anyone know what's going to be in it?

I think I'm going to bite. I ordered Xenoblade Chronicles from GAME and it came within about 10 business days. But, they were hacked recently and I don't think I want to order from them right now.

Out of curiosity where is the Xenoblade CE still available?

Wait for it to be released in the US in April.

Tempting... I might bite on this soon.

Well 365games.co.uk is the only retailer I had any luck with getting an order through so I might consider it if they get it.

eBay. It was a GAME exclusive and I think they only did a first-print run on the CE.

Unfortunately, there's no CE for the US, just the standard edition. But I'm still so damn happy they finally brought it to the US. I'm still going to preorder the Last Story CE though, both so I can play it and in hopes that strong sales will encourage NoA to bring over Last Story as well.

$60 US huh.. will it play on Non-modded systems?

No.

What currency do they charge your card in (is that EUR or GBP)?

GBP. It's about $66 USD.

Gotcha, thanks. I'm definitely in for one. Heck, you couldn't get a CE of a game - especially an RPG - released in the US for that price at release. Plus I kinda doubt they ever bring this one over. Even tho I'm personally double-dipping & picking up a US copy of Xenoblade, I doubt many are.

The CE for Xenoblade wasn't anything special, just a red controller.

Preordered. I will also buy the standard ed. if/when it gets released here. I'm really only buying this for the steelbook haha.

$66 for a collectors edition of a game that may not be released in North America is very tempting. Even if it does get localized we probably won't get this collectors edition, and I love steel cases. Hmmm.. do I wait and hope for a localization, or should I bite and jump in on this? Damnit I did write those Op Rainfall letters to Nintendo so I think I'm going to wait, and if nothing happens by the end of the year I'll import.

I wound up ordering it - this really doesn't seem like the kind of thing NoA would bother bringing here. If anything, we'll probably just get the standard edition.

Oh man, I know what you mean. Their site was down nearly all the time. After 3-4 weeks, I tried to email them to cancel but had no luck. But then I saw a charge on my card was made by them the previous week and a few days later, I got the game.

Does anyone know how HMV packages things? Do they just put it in a mailer or in an actual box? I bought the Xenoblade CE from Game and it was packaged very well in a box.
