I am pretty confident that I will like this game. Not $500 confident though and don't really know if I like those figures either.

 

[zoukka]

Did they just spoiled themselves the design of the last boss?

It's in the first trailer released dude...

 

[andymcc]

hey $500 is like a fifth of the price of metal slug x.

 

[DarkFlame]

It would be a sure pre-order,if instead of a figurine i got a guide.Less costy and more useful for sure

 

[Vicetrailia]

I really don't get the value of either edition. Just seems like a huge waste.

 

[Backfoggen]

Just a steelbook is enough thanks

 

[wiibomb]

those prices... $500 for just the different upgraded figure. are these prices confirmed?

 

[Ken]

I'm so glad I don't care about video game CE figures.

 

[TheBlackMarvel]

$500 dollars

:lol

They really love milking the fans on these.

Prestige will 99% likely be GAME exclusive so I hope you're ready to pay about £400.

TBH, I'm fine with the collectors edition, I just want the artbook anyway.

 

[The Flash]

Will get the Collectors Edition at Best Buy for roughly $112 with GCU.

Lol at the Prestige Edition though.

 

[Newtype-001]

I love souls but I would never pay close to $500 unless that figure was made by the worlds 5 leading figure makers and built with actual burnt corpses.

 

[Lasthope106]

$500 is way too damn much. That must be just the price in Dubai. I doubt in the west both version will be that expensive.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

damn son, the prestige figure looks fucking bad ass and that's before reading about the price tag

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

Wow that's pricey, that's gotta be close to a record right? I'll skip these.

 

[Wagram]

I love Souls, but $500 is outrageous (assuming that's the correct price). I would maybe buy that if it was $100, but i'll settle on the likely day one edition that will come with the steelbox.

 

[Sephzilla]

$500?!

 

[strafer]

And it looks like we finally got a release date.

Wohooo!

 

[Alcoholikaust]

$500?!

I can stand behind this gif 100%

 

[Ghost Dad the Whip]

Looks like I'll have to get both*, those statues are baller status!

We knew April, but the 12 is new.

Japan gets it March 24, I think.

EDIT: Holy shit @ that price. Whoa.

So, is the Asia region version with English as an option also March 24th and if so, what are the odds on getting it shipped to the east coast of the USA in significantly less than those 19 days?

Because I will double dip to play it two weeks early. Standard Asia version, Collectors USA.

 

[Red Liquorice]

I'll take the steelbook and soundtrack like DS2, that's all I need the rest is tat.

 

[strafer]

Wait, a game map? Doesn't that break the spirit of Dark Souls? You aren't suppose to have a map.

CHEATING!

 

[DarkFlame]

I'll take the steelbook and soundtrack like DS2, that's all I need the rest is tat.

Personally what I want in a limited/collector's edition are 4 things.

1) a steelbook with nice artwork
2)game soundtrack
3)game artbook
4)game guide if it's an rpg/adventure

This is the essence of what I want in a collector's edition and not figurines and statues that only raise the price bar sky high

 

[TheBlackMarvel]

Wait, a game map? Doesn't that break the spirit of Dark Souls? You aren't suppose to have a map.

CHEATING!

Lol, if it's anything like the one from DS2, it's less than helpful.

 

[Easy_D]

That huge-ass cleaver. Giant Lord got a mad upgrade

 

[Iva Demilcol]

Just want the metal case. I hope they announce a collector's edition that comes with a metal case and the soundtrack, like DSII black armour edition.

 

[Auctopus]

$500.

Namco Bandai continue to jump the gun with the franchise.

Can't wait for the marketing of "Are you READY for the HARDEST GAME EVA MADDDEEEE?!"

 

[TheBlackMarvel]

That prestige edition has to be a pricing error.

That's more than PS4 bundles on that site.

 

[NEO0MJ]

I love that the artbook is actually printed on A4 sized paper and that the soundtrack is on an actual CD (darn you Sony for cheapening out) but I don't care for the statues.

That prestige edition has to be a pricing error.

That's more than PS4 bundles on that site.

If the included statue is of actual high quality and from a reputable company I could believe most statues of that size from companies that sell high quality statues are $300 or above) it but I seriously doubt that based on most collector's edition statue history.

 

[Backfoggen]

I think I'm gonna go with the Japanese digital download? Does that have English text? Did Dark Souls 2?

 

[Deleted member 10571]

I love that the artbook is actually printed on A4 sized paper and that the soundtrack is on an actual CD (darn you Sony for cheapening out) but I don't care for the statues.

Yup. Hoping for a physical soundtrack/artbook edition that's not announced yet, but that probably won't happen.

 

[xplicitone]

1) I hope they have a CE for PC
2) I hope it's like $150

 

[Sawneeks]

Going to wait until the Prestige Edition is up on a U.S. site before I commit to the price but...

please don't be $500. I really want it but not for that price.

 

[Heartfyre]

The Prestige Edition price is obviously wrong, folks. Don't pay it any heed.

I'm definitely getting at least the Collector's Edition. I refuse to ignore a Souls game's art book.

 

[-Horizon-]

So...is there one without the dumb statue?

I don't need any more dang figures in my room lol.

 

[Deadstar]

The quality of the Dark Souls 2 statue was BAD. It was cheap plastic. I won't ever be ordering another collector's edition from From.

 

[Arafo]

We knew April, but the 12 is new.

Japan gets it March 24, I think.

EDIT: Holy shit @ that price. Whoa.

12 April is also for the japanese pc version

[Fhtagn]

I love that the artbook is actually printed on A4 sized paper and that the soundtrack is on an actual CD (darn you Sony for cheapening out) but I don't care for the statues.

Doing a download of the 90 minute soundtrack to Bloodborne is way better than dropping several tracks to fit on a cd.

The 1 disc version of Dark Souls 2 soundtrack is terrible for cutting tracks down to just 1 minute at times to get them to fit.

Full length download or double cd, please. Middle ground is worse than either.

 

[GrandiaX]

CE looks much better

 

[InsaneTiger]

Fantastic!

The standard edition will be mine.

 

[TheBlackMarvel]

1) I hope they have a CE for PC
2) I hope it's like $150

They did for DS2 and a LOT of their sales are on PC. They'd be mad not to.

 

[Jwebster24]

$500!?

 

[kewlmyc]

Holy shit, that Prestige Edition is mine!


...500 fucking dollars. Yeezus. I like figurines too, but dear god, you can get way better quality figures for a fraction of the cost.

 

[5amshift]

Buying regardless it not being as cool at the Bloodborne Nightmare Edition.

 

[Hedge]

Meh, more figures. I just want an artbook and the soundtrack. They don't even look that good.

 

[QaaQer]

Gaaahhhh, more figurines. People over the age of 12 like this clutter?

 

[QaaQer]

Oh thank god they're ugly as shit. Saves my wallet.

Might have to import whatever the Japanese one ends hp being though... Regret never getting the metal weapon set from DS2

This is fantastic.

 

[Innolis]

Doubt it'll be $500 on the US, but don't expect it to be cheap either...

 

[Rodolink]

I hope that comes to amazon soon.
Also teh lord of cinder is 40CM!! (maybe hand painted, and made of steel, because if not thats a lot of money fo that, Id get the knight figurine better)

 

[Syntsui]

They will probably make like 100 units of this prestige edition, it will sell out on pre orders alone.
