This point I do not understand, as I can not see why it's more feasible for Europe to create these things when NA is capable of doing it as well (including much smaller companies).

Because stuff doesn't cost the same everywhere. It's entirely possible that paper products or steel products are cheaper in Europe this year. It's entirely possible exchange rates are higher/lower this year and that allows European Nintendo to be able to "have more money" to spend on a better package. Even gas prices can influence the price of products.

Honestly, if you are saying you don't understand why a CONTINENT with a stronger currency is able to offer a better package, and can't even fathom the myriad of cost variables that goes into manufacturing, then you should really just stop complaining and accept the reality of the world. This is not NOA being cheap, this is just business.

I don't like it when either region gets something less/more than the other, and wish we were at a point to where both regions got the same things.
[...]
This is all I was trying to convey when I kept saying "I hate how this isn't fair" over and over.

But you didn't say "I don't like it when either region gets something less/more than the other," you said:

NoE is much better than NoA.

And that's not true.

my final word on this

Sounds good.

This point I do not understand

Or not...

Either way, it's my final word on it.

Yessss. You're a hero.

Does best buy charge now, or when shipping? Just got a charge for my Metroid order.

It's a temporary charge now and the full charge at shipment.

Thanks. Got my SE in. Just need those amiibo now.

Guys can we just say that sometimes a region gets better things than another region and vice versa?

Thanks for the heads up! Got my order in. Not sure if I'll keep it or not, will depend on if Best Buy does a B2G1 or some other deal before it comes out.

Of course.

I'm hoping for another b2g1 as well.

special edition closed now at Best Buy

 

[Tsunamo]

Pretty sad that Nintendo Australia isn't offering either of the LE's here :/

Best Buy won't have a B2G1 until probably December which is well after release. Those sales are always at the same time of the year every year.

 

[reelbigtink]

Wow, already gone at Best Buy. Glad I got my Gamestop preorder in. I can't imagine Amazon will last long either.

 

[Rated-G]

So when these preorders close up like with the Amiibo and the Special Edition, are there any chances of still being able to grab a copy? Either from more being available online closer to release or just being able to grab a copy on release? Mostly I'd like to take advantage of the Gamers Club discount.

Your best bet is to keep checking when it gets closer to release. Best Buy will open up remaining stock when they process orders and get cancellations or credit card declines.

Pretty sure Best Buy usually does its B2G1 around the months of November/December. That's how it's been the past 3 years anyways.

Looks like the design was only finished last minute. NCL uploaded this:

(see the different CD design)

 

[Yagami_Sama]

I hope that Japanese version has English sub, if so I would by instead of waiting for Amazon.

Back in stock at Best Buy!

 

[drspeedy]

Hmmm... GS is still taking preorders... what's the change they get cancelled since Amazon and BB are currently out of stock, and seemingly sell through restocks quickly?

Pretty sure it's never been on stock on Amazon, FYI.

GS still taking orders is pretty suspect though. I'd be wary.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

oops wrong thread.

Sorry.

 

[Realeza]

This hasn't gone up on Amazon yet, correct?

 

[ReyVGM]

Nope. I've been F5-ing the amazon page since it was announced and nothing.

Spec Ed has been available in walmart for over 3 hours now:

Every time this goes up for preorder at Best Buy I get in my cart and it says item unavailable to ship and is not available for pickup within 250 miles. I live in Southern California and tried all kinds of zip codes, nothing works. What's the deal?

Has anyone been able to preorder from Best Buy?

People learned that it's pretty crappy since it only has the CD.

Also, why is it $60? Should be $50

I have, but that was when it was first available and I'm picking mine up at the store.

I guess they raised the price? I got it for 49.99 when I posted the link.

Man, they're shady af lol

 

[abercrombie]

I could pre order this and pick it up in store, I won't bother though. As much as a Metroid fan that I am, this collectors edition stinks compared to the European version. I am kinda salty about this to be honest. Regular version or digital for me this time.

 

[JayBabay]

I have, but that was when it was first available and I'm picking mine up at the store.

Hmm, I've ordered so many games, including preorders and collectors editions and this is the first time I've encountered this problem. I'm talking about receiving about 6+ Notifications that it's available and not once does it allow me to ship or pick up within 250 miles. So weird.

 

[dukie85]

Has this still not gone up on Amazon? I need it ;_;

 

[perfectchaos007]

Wow that looks cool. I don't think I have a Compact Disk player anymore but I'll check the local thrift shop if I don't

 

[BorntoPlay]

im here waiting for amazon.com, anyone else?
