[quote name='BlurredReality']Wow Witcher 2: Dark Edition on 360 already sold out at Amazon.... are these going to be as limited as they were for PC? Haven't found anything online indicating production run amount, Gamestop is the only place left apparently.[/QUOTE]

The PC version wasn't rare. Although it never dropped in price, Amazon had it for months after release. This is still two months away so I doubt it's actually sold out. Amazon just probably ran through their initial allocation.
 
[quote name='Wayne Cabana']Warning to anyone who ordered the BlazBlue CS:EX limited edition from Amazon. Just got mine and they shipped it in a bubble mailer, box was crushed all to hell. Contents inside are fine, though. Just a heads up to anyone who likes to keep their LE/CEs in tip-top shape.[/QUOTE]

Mine also arrived in a bubble mailer. Surprisingly no damage other than a tiny nick on one corner.
 
[quote name='EdgeCrusher36']Both my Blazblue CE and my Hakuoki CE came in today from amazon in perfect condition. Then again I have never received a damaged item from amazon.[/QUOTE]

Both of mine were shipped in a bubble mailer and both were dented and dinged. Both went back. I don't know why I even bother with Amazon on anything that doesn't come in a plastic case anymore.
 
[quote name='Zaku77']Amazon's shipping has fallen off the deep end in the past couple years. It's really too bad.[/QUOTE]

You've got THAT right. I was just complaining about their shipping to a friend of mine. Their free shipping used to be fantastic, I'd get things in 3-4 days. Now I'm lucky if they even SHIP that fast.

I have an order from the 14th that still hasn't shipped. as well as an order from the 16th that hasn't shipped. They are quite obviously trying to bully people into getting Prime.
 
The origin store waits to charge until they ship correct, because I haven't been charged for my ME3 Collectors edition yet.
 
Not sure whats going on with the witcher 2 dark edition but I went into Gamestop today and they arent taking preorders on it anymore. I came home and tried to pre order it online, because it says "add to cart" but when you try to buy it, it says you cant. So it looks gamestop is out too. I did see that best buy has it though. But with best buy screwing me on almost every pre order, I'm affraid i may miss out on this one. Hopefully amazon gets a few more copies.
 
[quote name='jamezuva']Has anyone received their blazblue premium edition in the u.s. from Zen united?[/QUOTE]

Nope... I think mine shipped weeks ago.
 
[quote name='snatcher33']Is the Ninja Gaiden & Witcher CE's Gamestop exclusives???[/QUOTE]

Ninja Gaiden, yes. Witcher, no. Witcher is at quite a few places, but they have different preorder bonuses.
 
[quote name='jamezuva']Has anyone received their blazblue premium edition in the u.s. from Zen united?[/QUOTE]

Apparently, it came today... Not that I'm happy.

They come in bubble mailers.

There's tears and bends everywhere.

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Limited Edition [PS3/Xbox 360] (Future Shop Exclusive, Canada)

10197938.jpg


Price: $79.99 CAD
Release Date: 5/22/12
Link: PS3 | Xbox 360

Armed to the teeth with an arsenal of real-world high-tech weaponry only in prototype today, you are an F-16 on legs, trained to lock on to your objective even in the world's most complex, high-risk warzones.

Experience the Future of War

  • Pack the gear of the future, inspired by actual prototypes designed for the Army through the Future Soldier 2030 Initiative.
  • Blend into any environment with mind-bending optical camouflage.
  • An exoskeleton enhances the Ghosts' physical abilities, allowing them to run, leap, slide and kick farther and faster than any soldier on the field today.
  • Unparalleled physicality and lethal expertise in melee close combat are now at your disposal. Control all-new heavily armed unmanned ground and air combat drones.
  • Unleash large-radius firepower with a personal mortar capable of firing multiple guided rockets simultaneously.
Epic Solo and Co-Op Campaign
  • Join the Ghosts as Kozak, a fresh recruit whose elite unit is the U.S.'s best and only means of retaliation when a nationalist coup unseats Russia's legitimate president.
  • Experience multiple aspects of the war from the unique perspectives of a high-level bodyguard, an engineer, a civilian and more.
  • Enjoy 12 hours of single- or split-screen cooperative campaign across multiple theatres as the shadow of global conflict creeps across Northern Europe and beyond.
Fast-Paced, Addictive Multiplayer Mode
  • Link-up for heated 8 vs. 8 adversarial matches and combine the four balanced class abilities, plus drones and individual gear.
  • Seamless ranking progression in Single, Co-op & Adversarial modes: Unlock multiple rewards for your Ghost or your Clan.
 
I seem to be in the minority of people who enjoyed the first Prototype, except a couple spots where it was infuriatingly tough. That said, don't think I need an SE of the second title....I'm drooling for the Ninja Gaiden 3 one. Too sweet!

"A life size replica Death Mask with a stand "

Am I the only one that finds this somewhat ironic?

Shouldn't it be "death-size replica Death Mask" or maybe "full size replica Death Mask"?

LMAO. Like the lyrics from I think it's a maroon five song. The lyrics are "I want to live like I'm dying". My son pointed it out and said why would I want to live like that doesn't sound to good.

[quote name='coopscohen']Anyone think the NG3 Collector's Edition will be harder to find later as it's a GS Exclusive. Have there been other GS Exclusives?[/QUOTE]

Go look at the ebay listings for the Ninja Gaiden 2 collectors edition. Also a gamestop exclusive.
 
[quote name='NEP']Go look at the ebay listings for the Ninja Gaiden 2 collectors edition. Also a gamestop exclusive.[/QUOTE]

Except that was PS3 exclusive and it was a great game and it sold out prior to release. NG3 is dual platform and has been getting slaughtered in the reviews and it's still in stock. So, no, I wouldn't buy this thinking you are going to be sitting on a goldmine.

This. Gametrailers were much kinder so I have more interest in getting it all now. Also, the NG2 Exclusive is OK but also not quite as good IMO, for example is has a horrible case that has to be totally opened to get the game and content out. I imagine at a minimum there will be GS with on hand stock that get's clearanced sooner rather than later.

I don't think it was exclusive. Sigma was, but not the original NG2.

Yes, I understand that, however, the person who posted above was speaking of the collector's edition of NG2 Sigma which was Gamestop exclusive and PS3 exclusive. NG2 on the Xbox 360 never had a collector's edition.

No surprise that we're getting a AC3 CE. Though, looks like they're going the Gears of War 3 or Halo (insert release # here) route with standard/LE/CE versions.

I guess "Join or Die" edition will be the LE, and it'll be in the $80-$100 range, and the "Freedom" edition will be the CE and be in the $130-$150 range. I do wonder if the Assassins' medallion in the "Join or Die" version is included in the "Freedom" edition, like the Gears Of War 3 COGs.
 
[quote name='scott_matthews']Interesting that those promo images have the UK ratings logos on them. I wonder if those editions will be the same in both the US and UK.[/QUOTE]We've had different versions between the US and UK/EU, so these may be UK/EU-only versions.

I'm sure we'll know more when the time comes.
 
[quote name='"PS3T"']In addition to the explosion of Assassin’s Creed III info, we’ve also got images and details of the game’s three different collectors editions in Europe. There a whole bunch of loveliness headed your way.[/quote]
Those special editions do look nice. Hopefully, the US will have something similar to this.
 
[quote name='shrike4242']No surprise that we're getting a AC3 CE. [/QUOTE]True... Though I'm a bit surprised at how soon we are learning about it...

We didn't learn about the other ones six or seven months out did we?
 
Not bad, not bad, though I think fewer people will be interested in the Freedom Edition if they got the steelbook already when preordering the standard edition. :lol:

I'm slightly interested in the Join Or Die edition; however, based on the pricing of the AC:B LE, it might not take that long for it to lower in price.
 
[quote name='shrike4242']We've had different versions between the US and UK/EU, so these may be UK/EU-only versions.

When you mention that it seems stranger.
I wonder what their take would be on the whole "Fight like an American" ordeal.
 
Looks like the two editions of AC3 will have different things though... which kind of sucks if you want to collect or something. You know, for the collector's out there...

This was a European announcement only. While it is very likely there will be one or more US collector's editions, it is not certain that they will be similar to what is pictured here. In fact, Europe has always gotten very different ce's of this series than we have received.
 
I got an e-mail from the NISA Online Store letting me know about the Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland - Limited Edition: Grand Finale Set (PS3). Wow, that is one long title! It is a NISA Online Store exclusive and comes with free standard shipping. Information about this limited edition has been added to the OP.
 
EU Ass Creed LEs are always always ALWAYS better than ours. Seeing how awesome this one is only sets me up for the disappointment that will be ours.
 
[quote name='kitsunisan']Zavvi or sendit will have it, and the PS3 is region free.[/QUOTE]

Zavvi's packaging for this kind of stuff makes me shudder.

Hell any retailer from the UK's packaging makes me #-o

At least with my buddy I know he will pad it in a damned box so the potential for damage is much much less.

Are any of these coming to the US? As the worlds largest AC fan I demand it otherwise I'll see Ubisoft in court!
 
I hope the US versions will be more physical than the last iteration of the series (i.e. Revelation's DLC oriented signature edition).
