[Prelude.]

Europe?

 

[The12thGripper]

I already have physical copies of the 3DS and Wii U versions but this is still tempting...

 

[Shizuka]

Europe?

I believe they ship worldwide. IIRC, it's an outrageous amount of money, I just got Retro City Rampage DX from VGP afterwards when it was released by Fangamer.

 

[What A Time To Be Alive]

Ok ok

I c u

Imma cop

 

[UCBooties]

Looks good! I may have to grab this version after all.

 

[Shinriji]

Aaaand bought.

 

[mobilesworking]

Gott im himmel! Automatic double-dip.

 

[Shizuka]

Shipping: $43

Yup, still outrageous international shipping. They can't even compare to Limited Run Games.

 

[Grim Patron]

Preordered 2 to go with my 3DS and PS4 copies.

 

[Saphirax]

Shipping: $43

Yup, still outrageous international shipping. They can't even compare to Limited Run Games.

Really? It's $4 for me.

 

[Shizuka]

Really? It's $4 for me.

That's what I get for living in South America, I guess.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

What great timing to announce this. LOL

 

[Grim Patron]

Really? It's $4 for me.

pretty sure she isnt in NA. Shipping outside NA is insane.

 

[Saphirax]

pretty sure she isnt in NA. Shipping outside NA is insane.

I know, and neither am I. Thought it'd be a ridiculous price for all international orders.

 

[Grim Patron]

I know, and neither am I. Thought it'd be a ridiculous price for all international orders.

The last thing I bought from them was RCR on PS4. But then I've made friends in USA order from them for me and then get it from them later.

I bought RCR Vita and shipping wasn't expensive IIRC.

 

[dallow_bg]

Glad I held off.

 

[Cormano]

already have a PS4 & Wii U version.

Do I need a VITA version...?

 

[Chesskid1]

thanks, ordered one.

i'm always jealous of people who say they preordered x game and it arrived and they don't even remember ordering it.

hopefully i'll forget about this!

 

[goldenpp72]

Thank you OP, would have been sad if I missed this.

 

[Hobbun]

I would prefer the PS4 version. Does that one come with the instruction manual?

Nevermind, found out it does.

Maybe I will order the Vita version, as well.

Is this a game that has good replayability?

 

[sixteen-bit]

Great game. Definitely worth playing if you are on the fence.

 

[Grim Patron]

I would prefer the PS4 version. Does that one come with the instruction manual?

Yes but I don't know if it is the same manual. I have it sealed.

 

[MrHoot]

I think I might as well triple dip !

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

I wonder if the other consoles will get a reprint someday. I need to nab a Wii U copy before it gets too much more expensive.

 

[Clive]

Great news. I already bought the retail Wii U version but I'm definitely double dipping.

$4 USD shipping to Canada which isn't bad at all.

 

[Nachtfalke]

already have a PS4 & Wii U version.

Do I need a VITA version...?

Yes. It looks and plays wonderful on the Vita. Perfect fit.

 

[ArchAngel]

Ordered. My last Vita game will stay sealed ^^

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Does MS' policy restrict them from doing this to the Xbox One version?

 

[Ashler]

3DS Version... Check!
WiiU Version ... Check!
PS4 Version... Check!

Vita version... Pre-Ordered!

 

[socksfelloff]

To Canada
$4 basic shipping
$43 express

I'll take basic please Jim.

Does MS' policy restrict them from doing this to the Xbox One version?

The LRG guys have said Microsoft isn't interested In Small print runs

 

[nickerous]

Does the wii u version have the same manual?

 

[BumblebeeCody]

I'm going to speculate and buy 10 of these and then get them graded and then they'll be worth £1000 in 2 years time.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

The LRG guys have said Microsoft isn't interested In Small print runs

Which is strange since Ori and Brothers got physical releases.

 

[khaaan]

These guys are reliable and everything, right?

Shipping to Canada is $4 which is a pretty good price but it's 20-30 business days with no tracking. Can I expect to get hit with import fees?

 

[Hobbun]

I'm going to speculate and buy 10 of these and then get them graded and then they'll be worth £1000 in 2 years time.

I know you are kidding anyways, but just as an FYI there is a limit of 4.

 

[brooklyniteOne]

The filesize of this on Vita is showing as 186mb with the first patch. Is that correct?

 

[NinjamicWZ]

It's about damn time.

Pre-ordered. I put my money where my mouth is... twice.

 

[Kresnik258]

Shipping: $43

Yup, still outrageous international shipping. They can't even compare to Limited Run Games.

You had me worried for a second there, but it's $4 for me. Sorry to hear about your shipping costs .

 

[Faustek]

Shipping: $43

Yup, still outrageous international shipping. They can't even compare to Limited Run Games.

$44.73 for me to Sweden but that is express shipping.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Boom. Preorder confirmed.

 

[Shizuka]

Fuck, I wonder if that outrageous shipping is just for Brazil.

 

[Shadow Ranger]

Nice.

 

[sechsterangriff]

Thanks for the heads-up!

 

[mr lurtle]

Bought, thanks! Only 4$ shipping to Germany.

 

[Noisepurge]

Bought!

 

[Ventara]

Yes, was waiting for this! Already have the 3DS version but will definitely double dip. Shipping is $4 to Canada. Pretty good.

Edit: Was this the same way Retro City Rampage was sold? Or did that one have a set number that was being sold? Can't remember.

 

[takoyaki]

thanks for making a thread, preordered!

 

[joe2187]

So I have until october to pre-order?
