Does it include the original game case itself. I will budge if it does.

 

[DarknessTear]

No steelbook, no buy.

 

[Jeels]

It says "Game Disc and Manual", I might be skipping out on this. Just get the regular edition and the hardbook strategy guide.

It looks like the printed material is attached to the packaging, so probably not.

 

[AngelSoldier]

Soundtrack makes it a must buy for me. Artbook better have tons of Lightning.

Fixed.

Added to OP, thanks for link.

So I take it that the art book is mainly just the environments, monsters, and weapons. If that's the case, I guess they're saving the character based stuff for the Crystallium Ultimania Omega Final Mix -Complete- Guide/Artbook thing.

It sure is tempting though, but I have the Chinese edition on pre-order. Japanese Voice or OST??

The "only $20 extra" thing is kinda ruined for me by the following:

1. Best Buy has the best pre-order bonus, which I need
2. Can't wait at all to start playing this
3. Best Buy's quickest shipping is $11
4. Best Buy charges sales tax

= $97.
Lousy retailer-specific bonuses.

In store pickup?

I'm going to be preordering it probably today when I go and get Skyrim.

I would, if Best Buy was a good retailer that I could trust to reliably include the pre-order bonus. Unfortunately, due to what I've heard in the past, that doesn't seem to be the case.

 

[dakkumauji]

I'm somewhat intrigued. Though, I am skeptical of how they are planning on putting the game disc and the soundtrack CDs into the box.

Ya know, you can read a translated version of that Best buy book on the internet right ? I'll even link you.

Soundtrack likely in a cd-case, the game disc itself might be inside the artbook. Or not, but that would be my guess.

Preorders up.

Thanks. I'm going to hold off for a bit in case they do a deal or something though.

 

[Electivirus]

Gonna preorder mine at Gamestop instead so I can have the option to use trade-ins and such. Also, I kinda want that costume. :s

Amazon got Omega

 

[firehawk12]

I still wish the LE came with all the DLC, because the way it's all spread out is fairly idiotic.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Really nice box. I love Amano's art and the 4-CD Soundtrack is a worthwhile extra.

I still don't think I want to pay 80$ for FFXIII-2. I'm a bit wary so regular version for me.

 

[AngelSoldier]

Pre-order for GameStop is up as well.

[Cheska]

I better start putting money to the side now for all these FFXIII-2 versions.

 

[malfcn]

20 page artbook? Can you call it a book with that few pages?

 

[perfect free]

Dang, that's worth it just for the OST. Preordered!

 

[Babalu.]

preordered from amazon.

i'll buy the collected edition piggyback strategy guide as well once its available to preorder on amazon.

does anyone have a list of the preorder bonuses by store? seems amazon gets some omega guy.

 

[akilshohen]

life-changing package? Why? I would get this, but I still have to beat the regular XIII, so I don't know if I will be rushing to get this.

 

[AngelSoldier]

I've seen picture books with less, and children's books too.

 

[QisTopTier]

Buying. Loved ff13.

 

[Synless]

About damn time! Preordered! No DLC though, that sucks.

 

[anddo0]

Pre-order for GameStop is up as well.

http://www.gamestop.com/ps3/games/final-fantasy-xiii-2-collectors-edition/98101

I'll pre-order at GS in-store tomorrow when I pick up Skyrim.

As for the retail exclusives. Surely they'll appear on PSN at some point in the future.

 

[Franklinator]

It's weird seeing America get something cool like this. I'm gonna preorder from Amazon as soon as I get my $10 promotional credit from Skyrim.

 

[Cmagus]

yes do want very clean and nice looking

 

[Tevos]

Worth it for the soundtrack alone.

This will be mine!

 

[demosthenes]

Yea, this is going to be mine.

 

[Synless]

Worth it for the soundtrack alone.

This will be mine!

Especially for only $20 more.

 

[SentientStone]

No steelbook, no buy.

.

 

[kai3345]

I have no fucking idea why but I read this as Final Fantasy XII International Version gets Limited North American Release!

My heart fucking sank when I realized my mistake

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

Bought! Here's an image of the CE from Amazon:

 

[Tucah]

Looks pretty good actually. I'll consider getting it, if only because there's no statue!

 

[MoogPaul]

Ordered mine from Best Buy. Worth it for the soundtrack alone.

 

[BeEatNU]

No steelbook, no buy.

I like everything else except for this.

wish it has a steelbook.

 

[Cmagus]

Any places in Canada selling this? Amazon Canada doesn't have this listed neither does futureshop

 

[RPG]

All contained within a hardcover case...

Meh, no thanks. I like the regular case art enough.

 

[StunandStab]

Any places in Canada selling this? Amazon Canada doesn't have this listed neither does futureshop

gamestop.ca has it

 

[DickSauce]

Ordered. I hope this one actually is good.

 

[Edvardelis]

Does anyone have a picture of Serah's alt costume you get with the Gamestop bonus?

 

[jump_button]

WTF 4 discs what on them? and shock at US box art being clean white it never that clean, they have to but a face somewhere/boobs

 

[Electivirus]

WTF 4 discs what on them?

The soundtrack.

 

[FrankNitty]

Nice pack, though somewhat disappointing that it does not include all of the DLC and pre order extras etc.

 

[Shadow780]

How does Best Buy handle pre-order bonuses? Does it come with the game or are they shipped separately?
