Put a pre order in as well

Hassle free

 

[vinnygambini]

Canada link?

 

[Padawan of Windu]

Oh hell yes! Looks awesome. I hope they change their minds about not releasing Fatal Frame physically

 

[AdanVC]

That is so damn cool. It's been a while since Nintendo did a CE as good as this. Hope they don't just make like 10 copies and becomes impossible to get later on as most Nintendo things nowadays.

 

[Ridley327]

With less than two months to go before release, it's far too late.

 

[TheLastCandle]

Preordered! Looks extra tasty.

 

[hwy_61]

I checked the standard edition and it has release day shipping for the free two day shipping option with Prime. Hopefully it's just not in the system yet.

Yeah you'll get it on release. If you're a prime member you probably have 2day as the default.

 

[kitchenmotors]

Had to preorder on Amazon even though I have nowhere near this much to spend for it.

That big box and art book are just too alluring.

EDIT: Anyone know if Best Buy charges for pre-orders before shipping?

Best Buy does a pre-authorization on your card when you pre-order. It usually goes away after a day days, and then they do not charge until the item ships. Just make sure you have the money on that card or the debit/bank account when you pre-order.

 

[NoKisum]

Just for reference, since people are saying there's a difference, what's in the EU Special Edition?

 

[kuroneko0509]

Canada link?

don't think there's one yet

 

[Xena]

Looks pretty awesome; I'm glad we got a special edition. Pre-ordered!

 

[careksims]

YES! Pre-ordered! Day 1!!! Finally you did something NOA! TY for the heads up!

 

[Ridley327]

Just for reference, since people are saying there's a difference, what's in the EU Special Edition?

Here you go:

 

[Valkerionseven]

I'm in for this, love it. Wonder what usb size will be. Would be amazing if it was big enough for the download packs.

 

[GamerJM]

Preordered it on impulse. I'm not even sure if I want this game when it comes out so I might cancel if it looks like they're like widely available.

 

[Etria]

Just for reference, since people are saying there's a difference, what's in the EU Special Edition?

The EU Limited Edtion has the game, the artbook (not sure if it's the same as the one in the NoA SE), a map, double sided poster, and steelbook.

 

[vinnygambini]

don't think there's one yet

Okay that's what I thought

Hope one pops-up soon, I want that special edition.

It looks amazing!

 

[mrmickfran]

Aww, no steelbook

 

[DeuceGamer]

Got a Pre-order. Glad to get it out of the way.

 

[Ridley327]

Aww, no steelbook

Reversible cover, though!

 

[Arklite]

Not if you want to install the four data packs to remove load times and improve textures and whatnot. You can play from the disc without installing the packs, which take up 16GB.

You can, but it's important to note that there are data packs that they're going to make available for people who buy the disc version to help improve the streaming performance of the game, which isn't a factor if you go digital.

Damn. I'm only looking at 3 games total for the system, but I guess there's no way around having an external hanging off it.

 

[Yabberwocky]

I wish EU had gotten that box, it's stunning. You win this one, NA!

Gross. $20 difference is pretty significant but c'est la vie

 

[Hyperfludd]

Only 10 tracks? For 90 bucks they should've just tossed in the whole thing instead of just a sampler. Atlus gives those out with art books for free on most of their games!

 

[ivysaur12]

But when are we getting the Xenoblade eShop release.

 

[hwy_61]

Eh, it's not that big of a deal if you're using a credit card.

 

[ReyVGM]

But when are we getting the Xenoblade eShop release.

It's retail exclusive.

 

[Neifirst]

Got mine preordered. Hope Best Buy offers it later so I can get the 20% off.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Only 10 tracks? For 90 bucks they should've just tossed in the whole thing instead of just a sampler. Atlus gives those out with art books for free on most of their games!

full ost = 4.2k yen
typical artbook = ~3k yen

let's see if you can give them just like that in CE that is not $100 or more

edit: and lol atlus with free art book.... those rarely a lot of pages... and of course don't forget about atlus tax :^)

 

[Lazulic]

order placed. sucker for art books, and im sure the concept art for this game will be tits

 

[EDarkness]

Went ahead and pre-ordered. Bring on the game now!

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Atlus doesn't give out free soundtracks. They do the same thing, a 10 song sampler with a very small art book of like 25 pages.

 

[MrDoctor]

They left out the size of the USB. That's not good.

 

[Shizuka]

They left out the size of the USB. That's not good.

That's what I want to know. If it fits Fatal Frame, I guess it'd make sense for me to grab this.

 

[Rootbeer]

Ordered on amazon. Best Buy please... let's do this

 

[NateDrake]

That's what I want to know. If it fits Fatal Frame, I guess it'd make sense for me to grab this.

You aren't going to get a 16GB USB for 10 music tracks.

 

[Deleted member 59090]

I wish EU had gotten that box, it's stunning. You win this one, NA!

They pay a hefty price for it though. I preordered the eu version for ~$64.

 

[Ridley327]

You aren't going to get a 16GB USB for 10 music tracks.

And FF5 wouldn't be able to fit on a 16 gig flash drive, either.

 

[falconxcrunner09]

Pre ordering just in case I want it in the future.

That's what I'm saying this is similar to Atlus's CD Samplers. It's on a fancy USB, but ehh.

The art book is the one thing that one ups most other art books by being a substance amount of pages, but I wish it could be in a better format. It's cool that NA finally got something that isn't NWS exclusive though. They were just mean.

 

[NoKisum]

Here you go:

Aw the map would've been kinda cool to have, I could've framed it (I've developed a weird obsession for video game maps lately). But having an art book and soundtrack are usually my baseline requests for special editions, so I'm good.

 

[chaosblade]

Surprised NoA is doing anything for this game. Don't care for the LE myself, but it's nice they are doing something for what's basically a B-tier game (i.e., not Mario/Zelda/etc).

 

[Effect]

Order placed. If it goes live at GameStop I might very well cancel and preorder it there. Also depending on when Amazon ships this out as I'd rather be playing that weekend.

I accidentally activated a Free Trial for Amazon Prime as well. Oh well but at least I can put in some orders while I can. Anyone know if the free two day shipping on preorders stays even if you cancel your members right?

 

[Drilbit777]

Why didn't they just put the songs on a cd? Hopefully they have this at best buy too so I can get the gamers club discount.

 

[Teknoman]

Amazon free shipping order done and done.

 

[Ridley327]

Why didn't they just put the songs on a cd? Hopefully they have this at best buy too so I can get the gamers club discount.

It's cheaper to do the flash drive.

 

[jmizzal]

I'll get it from Bestbuy GCU

 

[Rootbeer]

I'll get it from Bestbuy GCU

You say that... but then it sells through its pre-orders in minutes.

Hopefully someone catches it and posts it here fast.

They seem slow in getting new items on their site though.

I guess when you are selling most of your stock at 20% below all of your competitors there really is no incentive to be timely.

Why amazon, gamestop, toys r us, target, walmart or pretty much anywhere else is not trying to compete with GCU is still curious to me. They probably assume they don't need to because BB can only get so much stock so everyone else has to buy somewhere else anyway.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

So....I just found out the protagonist is silent in this game? Please tell me that's a lie. Please God.

 

[Fandangox]

Hopefully it will be up on BB soon..

So....I just found out the protagonist is silent in this game? Please tell me that's a lie. Please God.

Its not, its been widely known for a long time.
