[quote name='Ionotropic']Meanwhile, Europe gets all that shit nicely bundled in a SE or LE package.[/QUOTE]I've never been able to figure out why the LE/CE didn't come with all the preorder stuff in general. You would think it would be a given, but, no... of course not.

As always it sucks to see this happen, yet, again, but at least with Sony being the publisher there’s about a 95% chance of that preorder DLC ending up on the PSN store at some point... I honestly cannot think of a single preorder bonus that hasn't.
 
Have a question, I put $60 down for a "Pre-purchase" on the standard version as Gamestop stopped Pre-ordering the Duke Balls of Steel Edition, But found out Amazon still has the Pre-order for Ps3, Does Amazon charge you the full price ($100) when you order? Or is it when they ship? And if so do we know when they will ship beforehand? Thanx for any answer's.

Just when it gets shipped. If you get release date delivery it will most likely ship the day before and be to you on release day.

Regarding billing: If you pay with GC it will automatically remove the credit. If you pay with a card or something it will bill when it ships.

You can change payment methods before it ships as well if you need.
 
Thanx fellas. I removed my purchase from Gamestop and put in the Balls of Steel edition at Amazon and they haven't charged a penny yet...Wish there was an option where you can pay in full. Got my demo code too :)

I also pre-ordered Modern Warfare 3, and they gave me a Poster (Gamestop) I'm not a MW fanboy but they said later on I can move it toward Battlefield 3 an I keep the poster...an FYI for someone who wants a free poster for that game. It has a time magazine one one side and the cover to the game on the other.

Some home items and the sackboy cart on first run copies of MNR
 
I don't know if anyone has had better luck than me but it looks like The Witcher 2 is OOP at this point in NA.

If anyone somehow finds an available one in a GS and doesn't want I'd be happy to pay shipping etc. for it but to any CAGer who was looking for it I'd recommend grabbing it now.

It looks like it may have been pulled from Amazon because a huge number of them apparently had damaged statues in it. If anyone here got one I'd love to know if it was in good condition and their general opinion of it.
 
Madden 12 Hall of Fame Edition has been listed on Amazon. PS3 or 360 Contents include:

  • Limited Edition - Only 125,000 Hall of Fame Editions were made, making it a must have for any football fan

That has to be one of the worse CE I have seen. So for $20 you get a autograph (who knows if it will be legit or stamped on), some cards and maybe if you are lucky 1/125000 chance in getting a gold card.

Yea
 
Yeah, I saw the Hall of Fame edition earlier and went ahead and preordered both versions until I decide which one I actually want to play it on. I love Marshall Faulk.

According to EA, they're only making 125,000 copies for both systems combined. I sincerely doubt they actually limit it to that, but it doesn't matter. That signed Marshall Faulk card is worth the $30 extra to me alone.
 
I think the "signed" part means it's printed on there. I doubt he sat there and signed 125,000 cards. Anyway, I don't play Madden, so not in for one.
 
The way it's worded makes me believe he's signing them all, though that would be quite a lot of signatures.

It would be very misleading if there wasn't an actual autograph but a facsimile instead

edit: Plus the $90 asking price definitely makes me think it's a legit autograph, otherwise, what could they possibly charge $30 extra for there?
 
Knowing about the card business, Panini probably had him sign 125k stickers over time and applied a sticker with his auto on it on each card.
 
[quote name='Brother Daz']I'd like to see what this 18k card looks like[/QUOTE]

Probably very similar to the Playoff Contenders Football and Basketball 18k gold cards look like.

EA confirmed on Facebook earlier today that it will be an authentic signature but 1 of 250,000 isn't very rare though for an autographed football card. I don't think it's worth the $30 asking price.

I could be wrong but I think it's 125K total, so 62.5K per system
 
[quote name='ssjmichael']I could be wrong but I think it's 125K total, so 62.5K per system[/QUOTE]

And there are 4 different cards, so if every 4 copies has a different card, then divide that by 4.

You are correct it is 125,000 total.
 
[quote name='ssjmichael']Thanks to whoever added the Madden HOF to the OP. I've exchanged the image for this one I made that shows the signed cards, and platinum team pack (as shown here: http://www.ea.com/madden-nfl/blog/final-cover)

[/QUOTE]

I put it in there this afternoon. It looked like you were going in chronological order, so I hope I put it in the right place. That image is much better, it definitely gives a better idea of what's included.

I like the wiki-post feature, but I couldn't see where to edit the thread title in it.
 
So, I contacted THQ's store asking about when they charge your card for preorders, since I want the Space Marine CE.

They said that they charge the card when it is shipped, not before.

Ordered one yesterday.

Check my card today. BAM, big fat charge right there. This pretty much fucks me, since I'm taking a trip this weekend. Bloody shitheads.

Well that sucks. I want to get the CE for Space Marine too, but knowing that they charge you for it immediately, kinda turned off. Is it just a THQ exclusive and no plans for it hitting places like Gamestop for the Collector's Edition?
 
Already been posted in the other thread, but Otomedius Excellent has a CE for 49.99 which includes game, pillowcase, artbook, and soundtrack. $49.99.

On a side note, is Gamestop still upgrading Dark Souls pre-orders? Planning to reserve a few games there tommorow

Are you sure it's an actual charge or could it be a hold? There's a chance it will clear out of your pending charges within 72 hours and the card wont be actually charged until shipment.

They only pre-authorized your card. If you have a regular credit card, that charge will drop off within 7 days. If you have a debit card, it may remain as a hold against funds depending on how your bank treats it. I ordered last week and the authorization just dropped off today, exactly seven days later. Not to be a jerk, but if a $100 charge is going to prevent you from using your credit card, perhaps you should not be buying overpriced collector's editions.
 
Uncharted 3 Collectors Edition: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/117/1172151p1.html




Details from the article:
  • $99.99
  • Sideshow Collectibles Nathan Drake Statue
  • Replica of Drake's belt buckle
  • Replica of Drake's ring/necklace
  • Steelbook game case
  • Copy of Uncharted 3
  • Everything enclosed in a "Traveling Case"

All the pre-order bonuses can be found in the link as well.

I can't find it on any websites so far so expect to see it soon.
 
[quote name='ShockandAww']Steelbook for Uncharted 3 sounds good, otherwise meh. I'm annoyed by all the statues. Something different please.[/QUOTE]


Amen. If they could have put something like the dagger from the Uncharted 2 Fortune Hunter Edition, I would definitely consider buying it. Then again, it would probably cost a month's pay.
 
[quote name='karatebear']Amen. If they could have put something like the dagger from the Uncharted 2 Fortune Hunter Edition, I would definitely consider buying it. Then again, it would probably cost a month's pay.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, apparently not even an art book or soundtrack? Come on. Give me the damn steelbook, a physical sound track, an art book, a making of video, and something like Nate's journal or...anything but a damn statue. The statue doesn't even look good from that pic. Hopefully there's another edition or they add to this one.

I hope at the very least they add in all that "exclusive" retailer crap like they're doing with the Infamous CE.

Edit: Here's an interesting EU PS Blog article. Looks like the EU version is going to be done right. Hopefully this stuff gets announced for the US as well.

LOL, same here. I typically just sell off any DLC that a CE comes with on eBay. For me it's SteelBooks, art books and CD soundtracks that get me hooked.

Not even a super voucher to cover all the store specific pre-order bonus dlc?!

Oh how much I despise DLC! Totally worthless for any collectors keeping the games sealed as in all likely hood, it won't be useful 10+ yrs from now:bomb: Give me statues, art books, and tangible junk any day over downloadable crap I would never use. In fact, neither my X360 nor PS3 have yet to go online, as you simply can't really "collect" digital content:cool:
 
Yeah its too bad about the Uncharted 3 CE, the European one has a Super Voucher for all the DLC plus some extra ones.
 
[quote name='eau']Not even a super voucher to cover all the store specific pre-order bonus dlc?![/QUOTE]

The DLC is just early unlocks. No exclusives.
 
[quote name='scott_matthews']LOL, same here. I typically just sell off any DLC that a CE comes with on eBay. For me it's SteelBooks, art books and CD soundtracks that get me hooked.[/QUOTE]

Totally agree with this, DLC is pretty much the worst pre-order bonus I can think of since they're basically just holding back game content for no reason other than to charge you more for a game. People eat that shit up though, half the games I've gotten in the past six months have been free or close to it from selling assorted pre-order bonus or packaged in DLC. At least physical items are separate from a game and required some production costs.

What exactly is even in that Madden CE, a signed card, a very tiny chance for a gold signed card, and a dozen DLC players? For $30?
 
I understand why people don't like the DLC as part of CEs, but I like what Sony has done with LBP2 and inFamous 2. Obviously it isn't practical to buy a game from every store offering a pre-order bonus, which has lately been four or more stores. If I'm buying a CE of a game, I don't want to wait months to play it, so having DLC I might want at the start is better than waiting months for it to appear in the store.
 
Why is UC3 CE only available from Game Stop? Is it some kind of exclusive?

edit: I see Naughty Dog says preorders will be available at all retailers soon, they are just slow at adding it.
