I pre-ordered the regular version some weeks ago.
I was going to get the collector's edition but i thought the extra stuff weren't worth the additional cost (especially since the soundtrack was digital only).And i'll be getting too many games in the March-April period anyway so i need to manage my budget as economical as possible.
Sucks that i'll miss the artbook but hopefully they will publish a stand alone artbook later like they did with Dark Souls.

 

[flozuki]

Damn, I think I received an artbook for Demon Souls without additional costs in Europe. Guess this is the problem with higher demand for the "series".

 

[ButchCat]

Any sign of the steelbook pre-order bonus anywhere online yet?

Collectors edition is on amazon UK guys. (Steelbook)

£69.85

 

[figadapaura]

I will probably pass.

I want a quill though.

 

[Dyno]

I better get my pre-order sorted. Getting a From Software steelcase is becoming something of a tradition.

 

[Fawoosh]

Damn, the artbook alone makes this really tempting. But I don't know about spending $100 much less pre-ordering.

 

[TP-DK]

Have anyone spotted a place where they offer the ‘Saw Cleaver’ SteelBook?

I'm desperately looking for this too.

they seem to be using the old cover art? The white one is only for the west?

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

The CE offerings seem pretty paltry, to be honest.

 

[kingwingin]

Those tin books and quill would look good in my room, make me look more educated.

 

[Occam]

I wish soundtracks still came on CD. :-/

Will still buy it as I'm a sucker for Steelbooks.

Evil Within had a CD as preorder bonus. They still exist...

EDIT:
Damn, the Japanese edition looks so much better. Feet aren't cut off, either.

I love the texture on the box of that Japanese edition.

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

I hope I can preorder and get a non-steelbook version.

 

[littletran22]

mm-mmmm I'm lovin it!

 

[DoubleTake]

Fucking Fuck why does Japan always get the better looking cover?

 

[EVIL]

Ohgod, that Japanese cover! That's the damn version I want!

 

[GarciaHotspur]

OMG it's soooo better.

 

[Qvoth]

reminds me of the berserk logo that guts have on his neck

Any word for this :

Are you serious? ARE YOU SERIOUS?! This is like exactly what i would have wanted in NA. Very reminiscent of the Demons' Souls CE. Fancy slip cover, with the standard PS4 box and superior box art.

PS4 isn't region locked, is it? If I can import this or an Asian version from PlayAsia, I might just do it.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Yeah same I think I'm just going to import the Japanese CE.

 

[Stilton Disco]

The Japanese slipcase is lovely, and I'm baffled as to why they didn't got with that artwork worldwide, but I'd really rather have that saw Steelbook, so hopefully somewhere will actually sell it!

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Got to admit, I'm really tempted to get the Japanese cover now.

I did spend the extra cash to get the Black Armor edition for Dark Souls 2 for the superior cover art...

 

[Star Falcon]

Pretty underwhelming set of fluff for the higher price point, IMO. Will stick with just the game.

 

[Mets39]

Love the japanese LE. Much better looking than ours; and also getting a huge Berserk vibe from that last pic. From staff must be a bunch of Miura fanboys : p

 

[GorillaJu]

The Japanese box is really neat—you can't see it in the pictures above but it's got a varnish texture on it that feels really high quality. The Hunter symbol on the back of the box is stamped, not printed.

 

[Eolz]

Bumping to say that in France, the great looking alternative steelbook

is available as a preorder bonus for the regular edition at Auchan (online). Available for 60€ too.

No idea for other countries, sorry, but it seems that it's a preorder bonus, so look on the page of regular editions.

 

[Lime]

Any places where you can import the Japanese version? The EU prices are ridiculous.

 

[Eolz]

If you're talking about the limited japanese edition (nice looking box shown above in this page), usual stores: amiami, amazon jp with forwarding service, cdjapan, hmv jp...

That sleeve is sexy as hell.
Hopefully a more extensive artbook will be available seperately because I'm going digital.

 

[HIR0]

We're almost a month away from release.
Any word on the participating retailers you have to order from to get the saw cleaver steelbook?
I asked EB games but nothing appeared in their system.

Saw cleaver steelbook up on Amazon.de!

The game also got a 16+ rating so no shitty 18+ shipping costs.

Brill! Hopefully that'll mean Amazon UK etc. follow suit.

[Dereck]

He's rich

 

[Vaga]

Aren't the EU&US collector's editions identical (covers and content)?

 

[RoyaleDuke]

Bummer if they changed the steelbook from that sexy black color to white, I might actually be tempted to just get a regular copy even though I love art books and steelbooks.

Meh, I already have it pre-ordered might as well go with the flow.

 

[Damigos]

Day 1!

 

[Ashler]

Holy damn, are you a collector or a scalper? lol

I hate scalpers:

He's rich

More likely just insane. But I really like the souls games.

Saw cleaver steelbook up on Amazon.de!

Almost gave up on the Steelbook to appear on Amazon, immediately switched my preorder to this, thanks for the info.

 

[Stilton Disco]

Pre-ordered!

I doubt amazon uk will get it just like the TLoU steelbook.

Good point, better preorder the German one just incase!

All EU copies of PS4 games are identical aren't they? Or at least include English language as an option right?
