Oh yeah?

OK, joke is dead. Noted.

That's not the boxart, don't post it, it offends my eyes.

 

[AniHawk]

The game is $34.99 at Gamestop/EB. I paid it off in full yesterday.

FFIII though is still set for $40. Wont be getting that.

ewww.

Anyone know if this is in-store or just online yet?

The manager at my EB says he has no idea.

 

[Celeryface]

Has anyone found out if it'll be available in Canada? I tried my local EB Games and the guy on the phone didn't see a pre-order bonus in the computer.

 

[Zeed]

ewww.

Quick, here's some soothing real art.

Much better!

I'm having trouble deciding which is worse.

You're clearly blind.

Hey, it is better now. Marginally better, but better nonetheless.

Not blind enough to mistake the new art as "good".

I pre-ordered when the offer went up in aug/sept. but my bonus is back ordered... WTF

Perhaps because the old bonus (soundtrack CD) is canceled and it's being switched out with the new one (25th anniversary bonus pack including soundtrack CD)?

Give them a call. If you preordered so early in advance, I can't imagine you'll get ripped off on the bonus items.

I pre-ordered today and it says my soundtrack is backordered also. It doesn't mention the rest of the pre-order bonuses though. I doubt it's anything to worry about.

 

[Senretsu]

Thanks for the heads up. This is mine!

 

[Soul4ger]

They're backordered because they don't have the preorder stuff in yet. Expect that to come in a month before the game is due out, at the earliest.

I just noticed that some of us are paying $11.58 extra for the bonus stuff, since it's $34.99 on Amazon.com (with free shipping and on tax), while it's $39.99 + $2.98 shipping + $3.60 tax on bn.com

So it's not exactly a "free" bonus.

EB/GS list the regular version as $34.99, the bonus version as $39.99. BN only lists the bonus version, but should they list the regular version as some point (very likely), it'll also be $34.99.

I see, then this is more of a Special/Limited/Collectors Edition release than a preorder bonus as previously thought, that makes sense now.

Preorder bonuses have always been free, while Special Editions almost always have a price markup and have seperate SKUs with different packaging.

 

[Mejilan]

Pretty much, but I don't think the box or packaging will be any different. It'll just contain a surprising amount of extra bonus goodies.
