    Still like the Freedom Edition better for the George Washington journal. Interestingly, the flag is getting a lot of backlash in the US as being disrespectful.

  2. Dr_Jengo:
    That's like the 5th type of AC3 Edition announced so far right? And there are some rumours that there could be 1 more announced on July 4th?

    I got my eyes on 4 of them so far. I still got a question about the packaging. The ads on the UK versions say there is a collector's box. Are they made of quality material like hard plastic, wood or just cardboard with special designs? What about the NA version? So many questions on the different editions..

    Not worth it if you're allready getting the freedom edition imho. Il try get the flag and belt buckle of ebay.

  4. comaamen86:
    mmm ac 3 chastity belt buckle

  5. Dr_Jengo:
    Fair enough but if there is a good quality collectors box with this edition, I might get it as well.

    Actually, I have always debated if buying the edition and selling what you don't want is better or buying what you want off ebay is better. Always had this debate in the back off my mind

  6. comaamen86:
    would like the flag, as someone pointed out to me there is no way to tell if the belt buckle is flimsy but it is hardly exciting compared to the medallion and i really think they messed up not including the notebook.

    the only thing uk got shortchanged on was the steel being part of an edition whereas us got it as a pre-order bonus, but many on this site already got one when it went as a us pre-order bonus

    Wow! alot of CE are coming out recently. So many to choose from. Which one should be my priority between AC III LE and RE6 CE. Which one is likely to be sold out from pre-orders?

  8. Chris:
    AC III LE is out on amazon.com

    http://www.amazon.com/Assassins-Cree...imited+edition

    I believe this will sold out quickly since its limited and not collector

  9. Stasis:
    I really like the flag and think it's actually the best item included among all the editions.

    I wish the belt buckle was Ubiworkshop's version though.
    The one in the picture is just plain boring.

    They should really include better pictures of the boxes the editions come in. I will be getting this, and probably the Join or Die edition for the notebook and medallion. But if the box is cheap, I might just eBay the items.

    An interesting quote from the Amazon.com website just under the Assassin's Creed 3 Limited Edition picture. . .
    http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...im/aurobius-20

    "Here’s what customers who previously pre-ordered the SteelBook version of Assassin’s Creed III through Amazon.com need to know about the just-announced Limited Edition: The US version of the Assassin’s Creed III Limited Edition does not include the SteelBook featured in the Freedom Edition announced for other countries. If you decide to pre-order the Assassin’s Creed III Limited Edition and cancel an existing order for the SteelBook version of the game, you will not receive a SteelBook when the Limited Edition ships. When the Assassin’s Creed III SteelBook promotion launched, Ubisoft had not yet decided whether to produce a Limited Edition of the game in the US. Both the SteelBook and Limited Editions are highly limited in quantity, and while we understand that some customers may be disappointed to not receive a SteelBook in the Limited Edition, that decision was made by the publisher. Any further updates will be posted in this thread. . "

  12. Cosmic_Link:
    That sucks for people who already pre-ordered to get a steelbook. Though Ubisoft did say that they could "upgrade" their current pre-orders, so shouldn't sacrifice their pre-order bonus. I would shoot amazon CS an email about this if I were out in this situation...

  13. HIPPEEDUDE:
    Anyone whos in the UK can go into most local Game stores & play a demo
    of the game. Lucky buggers
    It will be playable in GAME stores throughout Newcastle, London, Bristol, Nottingham, Manchester, and Glasgow.

  14. NaughtyDogJames:
    Is that gamestation aswell?

  15. HIPPEEDUDE:
    Just Game UK as far as i have been told. It kind of stinks UK gets to try it
    out first,maybe its compensation for telling the British to get stuffed all those
    many years ago,lol

    No Birmingham...?

  17. NaughtyDogJames:
    They're owned by the same company so I was wondering.

  18. Cosmic_Link:
    What's that supposed to mean in this joystiq post. Specifically the bit about what Ubisoft have "confirmed" about the flag towards the bottom of the post...? o.0

    If you look at the flag thats layed flat in the post its slightly off colour,
    faded & oldish looking as well as looking like its actually made like a flag
    should be made. The one in the collectors edition looks like thinner
    material is used to make it & its brighter in color,not as dull or aged looking.
    My guess is the flag thats laying flat is a press item so its made a little
    fancier than normal as with all things press related
    Just a guess & an opinion
