[quote name='iNCREDiPiNOY']Yup I locked in on this one for the ps3, xbox 360 and crystal edition. :D[/QUOTE]

Don't know if you bought it for the whole group, or I missed the cut. I'd appreciate a PM from you for everyone that got lucky or didn't get one, if you're shipping them out.
 
Theeeeeeeeere we go. Took that product buyer from Future long enough to secure that promo. Christ.

G2 instead of G1 for the FS version? I'm guessing the Amazon.de 360/PS3 versions are both G1 then?? Decisions decisions...

Maybe its time to look for a Canadian bro to hook me up :)
 
Hard to decide because the steelbook requires to buy actual game.

Yup, its G2 size only for FS version and the rest of Europe will be G1.

So FS wins!!!

Hmm...is it worth $5 for a PS3 case that would go with my other games? The CAG in me screams "NO", and I don't think I'd really mind the G1 case standing out since it is Final Fantasy.

So I don't mind not getting this. :D
 
[quote name='Kazaganthi']Everyone but the US gets the Steelbook, even Canada? fuck.[/QUOTE]

If Canada gets the steel-book but we don't , we should cause a riot.

LOL...
 
So, is anyone interested in a copy of the Star Wars: Old Republic CE? I have on preordered, but don't really want it anymore. Would let it go for $250 shipped OBO. Doesn't have preorder code, but that can be picked up for $5 anywhere. PM me.

I'd be down to organize something. No online petitions, we're taking it to the streets.

Beat me to it lol. I'll stick with my DE order because DVD sized means larger artwork. Yeah, that's how I'll justify it. . .
 
[quote name='iNCREDiPiNOY']Damn... its just ended @ $144 for the empty case.[/QUOTE]

Wow...just wow. At that price, you can get 1.5 times a FFXIII-2 CE

See this is what I don't get. Why are 3rd party people that have nothing to do with the games making all the money, why not sell to us directly. I'm so sick of us not getting Steelbooks/Limited Editions, and the ones we do get are over-hyped games that come with a 2 dollar statue that ups the price to $150, or lame DLC extras.
Steelbook, Artbook, and a Soundtrack and they have my extra $20-$40 on release. Instead I just wait until the game hits $15-30 for the normal version.[/quote]
I posted this in the UK CE thread, but I feel it needs to be said again. Zaku77 called it and the game isn't even "launched" yet; $144 for just the steelbook? And it's even been expanded to Canada since. This is insane. They could add it to our CE (Bestbuy/Amazon/Gamestop) and up the price from $80 to $100, and it would still sell. It may possibly sell even more due to the awesome steelbook. I mean if they originally had put it in our CE from the start.

Since my quote, the CE/LE did come out with an artbook and soundtrack, so I pre-ordered it for $80. We are just missing the steelbook over here now.
 
[quote name='awing']Haven't bought anything from gamestop for years.. will buy this: http://www.gamestop.com/ps3/games/atelier-totori-the-adventurer-of-arland-premium-pak/93233
using pick-up at store
is it 100% guaranteed they haven't opened this thing like they do on regular games?[/QUOTE]

It is not 100% guaranteed. Just the other day they had a Qoga "opened so they could put the normal size box on the shelf" but a Agarest Zero still sealed.

Darn, I was just about to suggest http://store.nisamerica.com/Sale/Atelier-Totori-PS3-Premium-Set, but it must have just raised $10 in price. I swear it was on sale last week. And it comes with a bonus double sided poster.
 
[quote name='Romeo']If its a large box, it'll be above the counter with a pound of dust or in the back. If its a smaller box then it most likely will be gutted.[/QUOTE]

Thanks.

It looks like the same height as regular ps3 game cases but thicker. I guess I have to go in-store then and check it out.. wanted to buy online as I wanted to use some online coupons...

Just got an email from NISA. They announced the Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2 LE: Gamindustri Savior Set for a cool $64.99.

According to the email, "Oh glorious Friday, how us Prinnies love thee! We have great news for all you Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2 fans, as the NISA Online Store exclusive Limited Edition set (you can't find this set anywhere else) info has been released!", indicating that it's only obtainable from the website.

Limited Edition Gamindustri Savior Set Includes:
• Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2 Premium Box
- Full color, hardcover artbook
- Exclusive playing card deck
- Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2 OST
- Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2 game for PS3

Only difference from the premium edition of the first game is the inclusion of the OST.

http://store.nisamerica.com/Neptunia2-PS3-Limited-Premium-Box

Say what you will about the gameplay/story of the first game, but it was indeed popular enough to garner a sequel AND localization in the U.S.
 
[quote name='ShockandAww']Kingdoms of Amalur is getting some pretty nifty editions. Pretty limited too.[/QUOTE]

True, but the ones that come with anything really cool are EXTREMELY expensive. I guess that's what you get though, people complain about wanted LE's that are actually limited but they don't understand that generally the less they produce the more they're going to cost...

I don't know... I thought the 80 dollar version was pretty darn cool... Granted, I still consider myself a table top gamer and I'm a sucker for Soundtracks.

Right now I pretty much sleep like a baby to the Space Marine sound track.
 
Amalur's CE is amazing for people who care about Todd's or R.A.'s autograph, but I think it'd suck if it Curt was the one to sign your copy >.<

If it was for another series, I'd pay the $200+ for it. But... not for Reckoning.

On another note... Pre-ordering Neptunia lol.

GF is currently going "How many do we have to buy to get an R.A. Salvatore signed statue?"

Edit: "Dammit, if they sold a Drizz't one, I'd pay $500."
 
I'm with Zxt on this one too, $80 for me. I just can't fathom spending ~$120 extra for a troll figure and a lithograph.

On the other hand, if the price of the more expensive editions do indeed scare people away from buying them and they fall down in price somewhere in the future, I may consider getting them.

EDIT: added Neptunia mk2 to OP. No idea how to change the title though

Thanks Hakahina, I also just added the KoA one. I think the $80 edition is just fine too, the other editions are a bit of a leap in price for what's included. They're all quite cool though

Well, Bloody Hell!
I have the original (and yes love it).
What makes the game so different that I should shelf my copy and get this one?
 
Went to order the Kingdoms of Amalur CE only to be hit by a 10 dollar shipping charge... This was for the 80 dollar version.

I think I'll be skipping it now...
 
[quote name='ShockandAww']Kingdoms of Amalur is getting some pretty nifty editions. Pretty limited too.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I'm impressed at how limited the limited editions really are...only 300 of the Signature Edition (total across PC, PS3 and XBOX) and only 700 of the Collector's Edition (across all 3 platforms). Yes, they are pricey and not really a "deal" in any sense of the word, but I don't really think they are overpriced for what you are getting and the limited number they are creating. It's also nice to see them doing something special like this for their collector fans rather than the typical "limited by the number of people willing to buy the limited edition" approach used by almost every other company where you find the leftover units selling for 50% - 90% off (yes, I'm looking at you, Bioshock 2 Collectors Edition).

The $80 edition actually isn't a bad deal for a standard LE/CE. An art book would have been nice, but the map, dice and cards aren't too bad for $20 extra. And limiting the production to 2,000 units migtht also keep the resale value up if the game ends up being a success. I much prefer physical items in a CE than DLC items that become obsolete 2 hours into the game (and can't be resold).

For those complaining about the high shipping costs, they don't go up much if at all if you buy more than one item, so you can get them to be pretty reasonable if you can do a group buy with some friends.

I believe they are also charging the full amount in advance as my card is showing a charge and not just a pending authorization.
 
[quote name='bojay1997']I believe they are also charging the full amount in advance as my card is showing a charge and not just a pending authorization.[/QUOTE]

Yes, I think you are right about them charging your card in advance. Not ideal, but I guess that's the stuff you have to deal with when buying from a smaller distributor (Treehouse Brand Stores).

I think this is somewhat of a special case, because while EA is distributing the game, I think these collectors editions are something the people behind the game are doing independently of EA (which is why they are only being sold through this one site and in such limited quantities). They wanted to do something unique and special...and truly limited...and this is the best they could do since they are really still just a small startup company putting out their first game.
 
[quote name='bojay1997']I believe they are also charging the full amount in advance as my card is showing a charge and not just a pending authorization.[/QUOTE]

That part doesn't bug me as much as it does others... Its nice just to have it paid off and not have to worry.

You're not the first to suggest it... Sadly, I don't think this game is on any of my local friend's want list, let alone LE want list, so that's not really a possibility.
 
Lame, the only way to get the ps3 sized case is to order the game from futureshop? I don't even want the game, just the steelbook. I fully expect the game to suck like FF13 did and I'll just get it later when it's in the bargain bin. Yes, I say that despite the 40/40 score.

Oh well, guess I'll just leave my amazon.de order and live with a dvd case. It'll look nice on my shelf, despite me not liking Lightning...
 
[quote name='WonkyToad']Well, Bloody Hell!

this is the sequel
 
This is kind of random, and it's probably just me, but every time I look at that Max Payne 3 statue, I get reminded of that Leo strut meme.. The two compliment each other a little too well :D

mpleo.jpg
 
wow, not really impressed with the CE/SE for kingdoms of amalur: the reckoning :/

sucks because i'd totally be willing to pick one up day one if it was impressive
 
Hmm...kinda interested in Kingdom of Amulur, but I see the signature edition sold out. I'm on the fence on this game? Is the CE collection worth it? Was this game hyped or given good billing by IGN, Gamespot and other gaming websites? Hate to just buy a CE for collecting if the game is sub-par.
