Really wondering if that persona 5 steelbook edition is gonna be rare or most copies will be steelbook for a few months

Walmart and Target in STL isn't carrying Persona, so I imagine most nationwide aren't either, and my local GS said they got Steelbook and regular copies simultaneously, with only 1-6 Steelbook copies per SKU, so I guess it depends on what the stock is at BB and AZ.

My Gotham Knights was shipped in a mailer, tiny dents on the bottom. All I could get was a 20% credit

Just preordered RE4 collectors edition from GameStop in store. I would recommend calling your local store if interested.

did you do a web instore or an instore preorder where you only put down 5 to 25 bucks

There's a launch edition with a steelbook.

Looks like the Persona 5 royal steelbook edition will be most rare for the Xbox version - It’s sold out everywhere.

Switch is the most readily available one looks like.

Same. I called and they gave me $20 refund. But I went ahead and reordered another game with steelbook. When it shows up I’ll keep whichever looks better and return other with game to store.

I imagine less copies were produced for the Xbox version, since it was going sell the least. Jrpg and it's on gamepass.

Got my Xbox copy in today and it escaped the damage 2 steelbooks last week got.  I'm sure I'll keep it sealed since it's rare and on game pass.

I'm curious what the market for Series X/S games years down the line. Seems like most everyone that has a Series X/S also has GamePass and simply don't buy physical copies of games. Even looking at the original Xbox, it seems like some of their most pricey games simply don't match the priciest PS2 or GC games. It seems like the collector market for XBox family is not the same as Nintendo or PS family for whatever reason. I could also be completely wrong on this since I haven't really followed the Xbox family since mid-way through the 360 days.

I mean your Series S won't even play physical disc so huge population is locked from physical, the digital only PS5 is rarely in stock.

 

Even with some rare games like Attack on Titan 2 Final Battle, the Xbox version is selling for less.

Fnac cancelling red and violet individual steelbook for pokemon, be sure to cancel your order before they ship them out

I agree.  That's an interesting thought experiment.

 

I never played 360 but I eventually bought an R2D2 machine in LN condition and assembled a collection of jrpgs, shmups, and noteworthy, seminal titles (like Fallout, Halo, & Gears).  Haven't touched them since then.  But I always like having the 20 to 40 pantheon titles for each console. 

 

That basically went away with the Xbox One.  No more interesting imports and indies.

I still can't believe it took Cuphead 5 years to make it onto physical disc.   Western gaming has all but sabotaged physical media manufacturing and distribution.  They always wanted "to take over the living room" with a set-top streaming box (Microsoft), all the way back since 2001 and it's just now starting to come to fruition.  As well as command the entire digital distribution pipeline of PC gaming (Valve).  Back when HL2 required a mandatory Steam install and running process in about 2004. 

 

Imagine that.  It took them 20 years, but they finally made it. 

 

It's a good thing that Microsoft has done an industry-leading good job in other areas like Smart Delivery.

yea this is insane. Ive been waiting this whole time for the physical edition to come out and now I dont even know if I want it anymore lol

[Fuzzmeister]

I like to get CEs for Xbox since that's why I play and I keep most of them.  I want to keep getting stuff for Xbox, so I'll support the platform.  lol indeed.

Smart Delivery is a pain for physical Xbox games.  I wish I can just buy Series X disc and not Xbox One games that I need to download.

Wait what? Why it seems they are canceling the pokemon quiz book and not the steelbook

NIS sent out an email yesterday afternoon that Trails into Reverie CE is under 50% stock. Last time with Trails Azure that meant it only lasted another day or two.

Pretty sure that came back after a while and stayed up for a bit. 

[ismegamanthere]

Don't bother at this point as all RE4 pre-orders for CE sold out. Pissed off but still no answer on if instore will ever get reserves or not

It was available to preorder for quite a while across all three consoles

Your going to have better luck trying to import them from Europe off EBay by now. I had to do that for RE R2 as that book sold out before launch and if BB did a restock it was super small. I was able to get in the 1 restock on the RE 3R Steelbook at BB. Thankfully Village and RE 4R CE's included the Steelbook unlike the previous 2 (when RE 7 also had the Steelbook, strange.)

Just got the RE2 steelbook from a seller on eBay for $24 shipped

Best Buy just charged me for my Bayonetta 3 CE. Can't believe the wait is almost over!

Wario just tweeted about the Genesis Mini 2 still being in stock at Amazon. No way this thing doesn’t get marked down after its release. I think the mini console craze has peaked.

I've read that tweet three times over the months.  Each time they want some absurd $19 for shipping from Japan.

 

nope.

 

crazy what this business world has become.  Pass the buck onto consumers when it comes to EVERYTHING.

I saw a post on some Reddit thread last night that GS cancelled someone's extra orders and emailed them that they are limiting it to one per household. They said they made two separate orders (for 1x PS5 CE) using their own account, one for themselves and one for their roommate but I wonder if GS would have cancelled if they only made 1 order and their roommate made a separate order using a separate account.

Ordered 2 more copies of Gotham Knights that said +steelbook and didnt get one to replace the smashed on I got originally. Boo.

Cheaper to order it direct from Japan with Amazon Japan, though it is has been sold out there for a while
