What time is it?
Just pre-ordered the Premium version (PS4) on Play-Asia. Good lord the shipping is expensive.

I've soured on Metal Gear, but I have the specials for every system, and I don't like the stuff in the collectors edition, but I can't decide to get this or not. Urg.

Good God, Lemon. Importing the CE from Game.uk costs $120. Why are people paying $600 to import from Japan. Is the larger arm worth $480?

Don't know if this is new news but US Amazon appears to have replaced the placeholder art for the regular edition with the "day one" edition official boxart. Hopefully that means the collector's edition will pop up soon.

When it ships. But Konami style doesn't accept foreign credit cards though.

They had more important things to spend money on, like, clothing lines, shoes and watches. :/

Big arm is about 24in tall, baby arm is about 12in tall. It's half scale.

In addition to the date, Amazon.com's finally got the correct cover art up for the Day One Edition. Snagged the Japan Limited edition off PlayAsia as I'm not too keen on getting the arm.

Since Asian SKUs haven't been announced yet, hoping they have a tier without the arm like Japan. Useful for those who want it in English and want the art book.

do you know how to order from there, by any chance. ?

i'm sorry i'm asking you so many questions.

Only option is asking a Japanese person to help you...or maybe tenso can help. Tenso has a buying service as well I think.

Singapore and Hong Kong has already announced the premium editions and the limited edition PS4, and it's the same with both NA and Europe counterparts. The half scale bionic arm version.

It's literally half scale, because it's half the length, half the width and half the depth of the big one. That means it's only one-eighth the actual size (or volume), though.

Holy shit! The collectors edition is $250 in Australia! And I was just on my way to pre order it too :(

Looks like it's EB exclusive, too, so no chance of a non-ludicrous price anywhere else. Can't believe they're trying to sell just the regular game for $109, either, even at other stores. Hopefully Big W or one of the others will come through with a deal before September.

No art book then? Ouch. Oh well. Thanks a ton for the heads up. Time to apply some pressure on my local indie store to arrange a few deals.

It's on JB's site too, same price. I don't get the logic here, €99 is less the AU$140 and US$99 is less than AU$130. How did they justify almost doubling the EU price?!

These treads of collectors editions just make me "cry" , the opportunity of get one of these is like CERO in places like Mexico , specially one from MGS.

I am disappoiinted in the Collectors Edition contents. I will not be buying.

I do like how the standard edition comes with a map a lot.

To be honest, I prefer the smaller arm we're getting anyway. The full-scale one is really cool, but I wouldn't really want something that massive around the house.

You could frame it and mount it on the wall. Alternatively you can use it as a prosthetic when you inevitably lose your arm in a gaming related accident.

I agree. I can somewhat explain why I have a small robotic arm on my desk next to this tiny bipedal mech tank [I have a tiny Metal Gear Zeke on my desk as well], but a huge 1:1-scale arm just looks fucking weird.

Its just a shame that we are only getting a toy-ish version of the hand. If it where the full life sized replica, i would probably buy it in a heartbeat.
