*This thread was originally for the S/E PSP LE's but due to a good amount of CAGs asking this to be an EU/UK LE thread I have decided to change it to that. We will try and post the cheapest price for these among all the UK sites that ship to the US. :D

*This thread has been transformed now to a thread for both CE's as well as games that are exclusive over in the UK/EU. :)

FAQ
[customspoiler=FAQs]

PS3 games are region free. Sometimes Xbox 360 games are but that varies from case to case. Regardless I will list the 360 version as well in case people would rather have a 360 copy to display. PSP games are region free as well.

Some Info:
  • All the retailers listed ship to the US. GAME & Gamestation must have changed policy because they used to not ship overseas.
  • Zavvi & thehut both have paypal as an option to pay but a few CAGs are reporting some difficutly. For the time being might be best to order with a Credit Card or Debit Card.
  • I have personally ordered from Zavvi and they were prompt in shipping and I had minimal to no damage on my items.
  • Keep in mind the exchange rate fluctuates so prices will skew up and down.
  • If I miss anything feel free to post in the thread and I will add it to the OP.
  • Zavvi now offers free shipping on items to the US.

The Hut - Zavvi's Sister Site
Zavvi - Free Shipping!
game.co.uk/gamestation.co.uk - These are the same now
hmv.com - Currently down due to administrative issues. Cannot order.
shopto.net - A lot of my friends order from here in the UK. Apparently they ship really quickly too.
amazon.co.uk - At least last I read, they seem to ship PS3 games but not 360. Unless they changed that. I can't seem to find anything regarding it by clicking their help.
play.com - They ship internationally and seem to get a good share of exclusives

EU Places That Ship Overseas:

well i had thehut ship them in the same package before, but never zavvi, its worth a shot

I actually got an email saying they couldn't charge my chard.. which is odd since its the same card i used last time i ordered with them. I went in and noticed i didn't have the middle initial in my name on it, so i changed that and tried again, hopefully it goes through this time. Anyone have any issues with that before? Im gonna be pissed if it fails a second time and they just cancel it or something. They did taht to me with Hoshigami quite a while back with no warning. Pissed me off

If i get another email saying they couldn't charge the card i guess i can try calling them but i hear their phone service is a nightmare

*EDIT*
got another damn email. Dunno what the problem is so I just called them. Its about 1:30 here so its 9:30 am over there. Got a very helpful young lady who put the order through. No idea what the problem was. She also said that they have switched to using boxes for a lot of the special edition items, so she thinks i'll probably get one for this order. Guess we'll see

[quote name='Ionotropic']TODAY ONLY, 10% off any purchase (excludes preorders and electronics) but good on all games at zavvi.com, use code ZAVVIWEDS[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the code.
 
Something to keep an eye on for fans of DBZ fighters:

Dragonball Z Ultimate Tenkaichi CE. Zavvi exclusive, a whopping £69.85. Looks like the CE is pretty much the game in a big outer box bundled with a figure of SSJ Gohan in his Saiyaman costume, but it's worth bookmarking to periodically check for a price drop.
 
Square-Enix have announced that the two Limited Edition for Final Fantasy Xiii-2 will be the Colletor’s Edition and Crystal Edition.
The Collector’s Edition will include the following:

  • Unique packaging
  • Composer selected soundtrack: CD with selection of music tracks from the game, specially chosen by the composers
  • Artwork book “The Art of Final Fantasy XIII-2″, featuringartwork across the production.
  • 6 collectable postcards, featuring high quality CG artwork of main characters in the game.
  • High Definition Lenticular Artprint, showing an iconic image of the Lightning character.

The Crystal Edition will include the following:


  • Presentation box
  • 4 Disc Final Fantasy XIII-2 Original Soundtrack, with premium digipak packaging.
  • Exclusive Final Fantasy XIII-2 T-Shirt from the Square Enix Products range. Never to be available elsewhere.
  • Artwork book “The Art of Final Fantasy XIII-2″, featuring artwork across the production.
  • 6 Collectable postcards, featurig high quality CG artwork of main characters in the game.
  • High Definition Lenticular Artprint, showing an iconic image of the Lightning character

There will also be a pre-order pack from selected retailers:

  • Steelbook Case ( No game included)
  • Three lithograph artcards
  • Episode I novella
  • DLC pack

They will be priced at £59.99 for the Collector’s Edition and £79.99 for the Crystal Edition, in the UK the only retailer with the pre-order Steelbook is GAME UK.
 
T&C for the preorder bonus at game uk says: Terms and Conditions: UK ONLY. Limited Offer while stocks last. Customers who have already preordered this product will also receive the bonus item. Your item will be delivered with your preorder. This offer is only valid against mint boxed copy of the game and not the download or preowned version. This offer is exclusive to GAME Group.

Would they stick with the UK only thing and not send the bonuses overseas?
 
[quote name='eau']That steelbook is epic!

But then there is no telling if it will arrive in good shape though.[/QUOTE]
My XenoBlade CE from Game came in great condition. They actually shipped it in a box. :) I might have to pre-order the PS3 Crystal version of XIII-2.
 
I'm going to have my Scottish friend go down to Game and pre-order the Crystal edition for me. So freaking expensive, but awesome!
 
Crystal edition looks so cool :D but fucking expensive - $126.39(before shipping)!

I think I'll just get the standard edition, didnt realize the preorder bonus(steelbook) applied to both versions.

They won't ship the pre-order bonus overseas though. It says UK only. I think most people will end up having to ebay.co.uk it after launch.

Or if you have a friend over in the UK like I do, have them pre-order it and send it. :D

Also, I will be doing a long overdue update to this and will probably wiki it as well. Should have some spare time tomorrow unless Arkham City still has its hooks in me. ;)
 
Will I be able to have the XIII-2 collectors imported from a site like amazon.co.uk or zavvi? Or are people just talking about having friends in europe in order to reduce shipping costs?
 
OMG im so jealous of you all with UK friends, i need one as i want this
Its already sold out on Zavvi/TheHut
How did i miss this

I think ill just order the UK LE for the steelbook if i can find a UK friend and then sell the other stuff and buy the US Crystal when it goes on sale

Do they charge now, or when it ships.
Im using my PP debit card

I went with GAME. They are more expensive though.
 
[quote name='bvharris']Changing the subject a bit..

Does anyone know for sure if this:

http://www.zavvi.com/games/platforms/psp/shin-megami-tensei-persona-2-innocent-sin/10567652.html

Is the listing for the Persona 2 CE? It doesn't say so in the listing name, but they do list the CE contents further down the page..[/QUOTE]

wtf, they get art cards and a poster and we didn't? that burns my ass

@ FF XIII-2 ... not really sure what the difference is between teh LE and Crystal.. if im reading it right its just a 'presentation box' whatver that is, and an expanded soundtrack.. is that it?

Are we getting any LE for it here in the states or is this gonna be UK exclusive? I need to cut back on how much im blowing and 120+ bucks for that game seems kinda ridiculous

Its an expanded OST to 4 disc instead of one in better packaging. Four more art cards and a FF13-2 t shirt that they say will not be sold anywhere else. And in a better box.

Also the best part about the UK is they get they sweet steelbook that even if you pre order in the USA only the UK get it. Bastards. So you need a UK friend or like i plan to do, buy one on eBay and wait for the US Crystal Release.

And I fell you on the Persona 2, hope it gets a price drop, though P3P never has yet, so i can pick it up
 
crystal edition is sold out at zavvi, game and shopto. :( I pre ordered the LE@zavvi. after a 10% off code it was only $66usd, costs the same as the standard u.s game + tax.
 
Thats really lame.. so what the hells the point of FFXIII-2 if you cant get the steelbook? seems pretty damn weak. I think i'll wind up passing anyway, the exchange rate doesn't make it worth it at all, espeically if were getting gimped on it. It sounds like theyre sold out anyway... *sigh* why does the US keep getting fucked over on LE's? its starting to get annoying. First it was just PSP stuff, which sucked but i could live with, now its just about everything

Im curious how Kay_Faraday got it to come out to 66 us dollars when its 60 bucks MSRP in pounds.. thats quite a bit more than 66 dollars, even with a 10% off discount. Seems like it doesn't matter much since you cant even pre order the damned thing anymore, blea

and kay pre ordered the LE version.
Which is what i just pre ordered and if i get a 10% anytime soon Ill cancel and re order it.

Has the US gotten any word that we are not getting the LE and Crystal Edition.
Cause if not that dammit. I want a Crystal edition

Also will it be region free?
Also FYI the steelbook is a Game.UK exclusive

Game.UK

I still ordered from GAME in the hopes they send the preorder bonuses. I even e-mailed the, about it. Worst case, I'll just cancel. But I figured since these things are selling out so quickly, I might as well secure a copy.
 
im gonna pre order from Zavvi and Game.uk and hope that I can the pre order stuff
Over on CE they say it always says that and they still do sometimes ship the pre order stuff, so ill just risk and pre order there.

I still hope the USA gets a crystal edition and thats the one I really want.
I would have double dipped on Zavvi and Game.uk if Zavvi still had the Crystal edition. MAybe they will get more.

Does game.co.uk charge at the time or when they ship?
 
GAME has to be the worst fucking site ever... I've ordered from them twice with not issues but they never sent my product on the first order and took over a month on the second order (even though it was in stock the whole time) and now my card won't work even though I used that same card for my previous purchases.
 
ya ive heard ppl are having so many problems with the site, my order went through with no problem.

i guess it shows when they have high traffic

Mine you im getting a friend to ship it to me so i can get the pre order stuff like the steelbook, so im paying a premium which i dont mind as ive seen how those Batman steelbooks jumped i can only imagine how much these will if we dont get a US version here.

So, has anyone bothered to contact GAME to see if they would or not would be shipping the steelbook to the US? I contacted them twice via their website form but never got a response (and never have to my previous inquiries).

[quote name='Serpentor']What's a "folded box?" The UK version has the "making of" contents on the DVD disc, where the US is digital download, correct? It seems the UK version is "better" than the US version... Does the UK version come with that "tin can" as well?

http://thehut.pantherssl.com/design-assets/products/10451825/DarkPS3L1.jpg[/QUOTE]

The PAL version gets a box instead of a tin, and the videos and soundtrack are on discs instead of digital downloads.

The box isn't anything special. The same as you would find with PSP special editions (i.e. easy to smoosh and send OCD collectors into a fury of rage).

On a completely superficial note, I really wish Ban Dai had stuck with this as their cover, though.
dark_souls_frontcover_large_VCU2Ev9G8ptb2nI.jpg

That was the image Zavvi originally had. The actual cover matches the current pic on their site.
