Ugh, what a fucking drag. I was eligible and everything but couldn't figure out how to actually do it for the life of me. What's a PDP? That link isn't working.
It's great. Really nice presentation and good paper quality. Just make sure you have room for it. It's bigger than you probably think. IMO Amano's art for the series took a serious turn for the worste after VI though, so I really don't care for the third book. The first two are awesome though.
thank you.

Blizzard needs to put together a Overwatch tribute book like how Udon does tribute books for Street Fighter and other Capcom IPs. You can easily fill 300 pages of really good OW fan art.

Inb4 its 90% semi-erotic Phar-Mercy pictures.
But seriously I would love a really good tribute book for Overwatch, theres so much good work its hard to keep up (And filter out all the weird shit)

When Udon announced Capcom Fighting Tribute they asked the fans to submit their best fan art. It's probably easier to do it that way so you can sort out the acceptable from the lewd.
Thanks. I've looked into the Dark Souls (1) book, but it seems it's sold out and/or very expensive at the moment.
Yeah, it has gotten a couple reprints but they tend to sell out quickly each time. You have to get lucky or pay scalper prices. As much as I like the book, there isn't enough content to pay a dollar above the suggested retail price.

i refuse to cancel my order!! they ask every now and then if i want to wait. hell yeah im going to wait. they might actually fulfill my order. and it was cheap.

Figured that had to be how it worked. I have the tribute books for that and Megaman, and I love both so much, the super huge variance of art styles is amazing. They are some of my go to books when I want to try out something new in my own work.

Oh man, can't believe I never heard of the (now apparently cancelled) promotion. Was eligible and can easily list 5 art books that I would love to have gotten.

It also works better in that the fans put in their A game on the fan art instead of submitting a half ass Piece. Most of the fan art on Capcom Fighting Tribute is really good and looks professional.
While I'm not a fan of Overwatch, I can attest to the quality of Udon's Tribute books. They're excellent. It's always fun to see different interpretations of games. Let's you see what's important to different people.
The BB artbook will stick out like a sore thumb next to the Souls books. It's annoying.

I have that one along with the Darkstalkers and Street Fighter Tribute books and they're all really fun collections. There's a lot of diversity in the art styles.
What artbooks do you have in mind? I'm torn between buying a comic series, an art book, or an omnibus

Honestly, as someone who eats sci -fi designs daily, I'd be willing to buy one for you if you want it?? I never regretted buying mine

Look like I was ineligible from the start. Now to find how to stop my audible subscription before they charge me...

Splatoon, Phoenix Wright, Legend of Heroes, Disgaeart and Zelda Art and Artifacts are the first ones that come to mind. Oh and Persona 3/4 and Xenoblade, though the latter is Japanese so I don't think it would count?

I'm still trying to get the code but at this point they are just taking the piss.
EDIT:
Yeah, I was told I wouldn't get the code because the promotion ended on the 14th and I signed up on the 15th, even though the lady that signed me up guaranteed me the promo was in place and I would get a code. On top of that they told me they couldn't revert me to a new customer so I'll miss on future deals like this. What a scam, I get they fucked up with the promo but they should honor it to the ones that were promised a code, or at least revert things back to how they were before.

Thanks! I already have the Persona books, and Zelda. Just waiting for P5 and Encyclopedia. I'm on the fence for the two Legend of Heroes books. I haven't played ome since the PSP ones. Haha!
You just need patience, justice, and love to achieve victory!
Thanks for the heads up.

I signed up for it on the 15th as well and didn't get the promotion, but after contacting them, they sent me a code for it 2 days later on my email.
Tell them that at the time you signed up for the trial you saw the ad for the promotion and that's what made you go for it.
I'm pretty sure the ad for the promotion was still up on the 15th.

Lots of good recommendations in this thread.
Thanks to all the people who posted here. I hope you flourish wherever you chose to be.
Guess I'll end the thread with this beauty from Cook and Becker:

I did, in fact, it was an assistant who signed me up on the basis I would get the code. Told them that and they didn't even care.

Was able to get the art of splatoon and mgsv.
Amazing books.
Amazing books.
I have Dishonored: The Dunwall Archives and it's ok...ish I guess, but I'd only recommend it to avid collectors who need to have a physical book for their favorite game. It doesn't add new lore, it's just a collection of excerpts from letters, books, posters, paintings and artwork already available in the game. It's supposed to have some "never seen before" artwork, but to me everything looks very minimalistic and familiar. What's really underwhelming (to me) is the small format of the book, for some reason they decided to make it just a little bigger than A5 and it looks weird on a shelf with normal sized artbooks. Maybe the book size is also the reason I don't find the pictures very impressive to look at, for such a small book there's too much blank space wasted and too few full page or two-page pictures. Technically it's very good though, thick pages with a pleasant semi-gloss finish. On Amazon it's $29.

Its a lore book. Lots of text. Not much illustration.
Dishonored 2 artbook on the other hand is god tier. Some of the best one I own

I like the size. Fits on a shelf nicely.
What kind of stuff does the second one have? Mostly interested in lore.
UnluckyKate

Second one is only art : characters, environements, level design studies, props, items, power animations... It has commentary but it's not a lore book. it's a pure artbook.
Deluxe Edition for the Zelda Encyclopedia is now up for PO thru Amazon.
It looks like the original gold cartridge. It will ruin the look of the trilogy
Haha
Is this on Amazon already? I thought it's gonna be available there soon?
What's that thread?
