On one hand I really want to buy this.

On the other hand unless it releases in the next week I probably won't have time to play it

Probably a November-Jan release.

Kikujiro · Sep 3, 2015

Ready to pre-order as soon as it goes up.

Mr-Joker · Sep 3, 2015

Hmmm too pricey for me for a digital only game, I am gonna pass and wait until it goes on sale.

How does it decrease in value because it's only digital? Would importing the Japanese physical release make it worth more to you?

Data West · Sep 3, 2015

I have a feeling, or maybe it's a hope, that it will be coming out much sooner than we think.

£25.50 (including discount) is a amazing price for something with as much content as Yakuza.

You will be waiting a long, long time for a digital discount sale for this game.

SxP · Sep 3, 2015

Expected after the US price. Thankfully we got the discount as well, sometimes SCEE can be real boneheads about launch discounts.

oneida · Sep 3, 2015

Thread is incorrect, there is no pre-order for EU! The 15% discount lasts for some undisclosed amount of time (a week?) when the game launches, and only to PS+ members.

Tizoc · Sep 3, 2015

Should've waited til the actual release date was announced

I want to know the EU price as much as the next GAFfer but I think release date is more important.

Non the less EU PSN will have the discount on release.

Sumio Mondo · Sep 3, 2015

I hate idol culture. Sad that is mandatory part of this game, but hey ho, it's not like the game will be better than Y2 or Y4 anyways, even numbered Yakuza is always the best. Hope we get Yakuza 0, which is the one I really want since Y5 looks like a bit of a rehash from Y4.

Yautja_Warrior · Sep 3, 2015

Probably the last PS3 game I but looking forward to it.

NastyBook · Sep 3, 2015

Gotta pre-order it tomorrow. But if this drops in September, it's got MGSV and TTK to contend with. That's not a good look.

Well if I wasn't buying off the NA PSN store before, I am now.

Terra_Ex · Sep 3, 2015

It's about time and I'm glad to see we aren't missing out on the discount. Can't wait!

Metal Gear can wait. Manly men body slamming dumbass street punks onto the pavement, while walking their hostess date to the karaoke bar to get funky, cannot.

Go_Ly_Dow · Sep 3, 2015

No chance its sept or october

Koshiro · Sep 3, 2015

Give me the release date and my money is yours... on release... since you don't have pre-orders for us Euro folk..

Winnie the Pimp · Sep 3, 2015

Would prefer physical of course but this is an insta-buy regardless just to show support.

semiconscious · Sep 3, 2015

so, which do we see first: yakuza 5 or persona 5?

...

Moze · Sep 3, 2015

Price is looking good to me. I was expecting £34.99.

Aki-at · Sep 3, 2015

A fair price for the best Yakuza game and best game ever made. Surprised how good the Haruka gameplay was, random street dance battles never felt so good.

I've been waiting for this, TAKE MY MONEY!

UnluckyKate · Sep 3, 2015

I'm considering printing a custom cover in an empty box I have just to have my collection Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4 and Kenzan on my shelf

Depends, will you play P5 in japanese ?

I still can't believe we'll get P5 this year, in 4 months, I mean we saw NOTHING of the game but a trailer

Mr Rivuz · Sep 3, 2015

To me 34 (after the 15% discount) feels like a really good price considering what a huge full of content game it is. Whenever this comes i'll buy it.
Yakuza has the priority over everything else!

Augemitbutter · Sep 3, 2015

day one.

Die Squirrel Die · Sep 3, 2015

Looking out for this preorder when the US one went up got me to plug in my PS3 again. Still waiting on the preorder for Y5 but I've made a tonne of progress in Tales of Xillia 2 and just completed the speed run in Nier. It's actually been kinda nice.

Yeah, Yakuza 4 is probably ma favorite PS3 game in term of content, gameplay, story, variety... its just so full so big so fun so good.

Y5 only looks better and bigger. Can't fucking wait. After all these years

There is NO preorder for EU.

Big_Al · Sep 4, 2015

If there's no preorder for Yakuza 5 in the EU I hope this means it releases very soon. So fucking excited. I don't think it matters when it releases as it's very much for the fans and we'll all be over it regardless.

No, it's 15% off when you pre-order. Which they're not letting us do.

Acquiescence · Sep 12, 2015

Can someone help me clear up a couple of things here please? So contrary to what the thread title states, there's no preorder discount with the EU store version of the game right? Does that mean that you can only get 15% off if you're a PS+ member? If that's the case then I'm way better off buying a $40 PSN card and preordering on the US store instead, since I'm not currently a subscriber to PS+.

Correct.

Fixed!
(I put Zero, Ishin, 4, 1&2 HD collection, and the second Kurohyo ahead of it. Well, then again, the order probably changes from day to day depending what I'm looking for. Still!)

...But of course, there are no bad Yakuza games. Still a goodie for those who haven't played it.

Yautja_Warrior · Sep 12, 2015

One of the main reasons I still have my PS3 hooked up. So looking forward to this game.

Well we sure got gypped over on this side of the pond huh.

Kenzodielocke · Sep 12, 2015

I really need to play 3 and 4. I played 3 only to the point where you fight the fat guys and 4 just to the point where you dress the women, which I found pretty annoying and that's why I stopped...
