I preordered this!!!..I'm kinda curious if Japan gets a unique variant edition!?

Sega posted an unboxing video of this on Facebook.

Safe to say I'll be following my gut on this one and cancelling. "Collectible" outer box looks cheap, coasters look cheap, glasses look cheap, for some reason they thought only two whisky stones would be enough, art book looks very thin and there's no steelbook or extra digital content.

Thank you for sharing the unboxing video! I am disappointed in the cheapened presentation style as well! I will be canceling this edition too! I bet you could find it on sale down the road too!

Being a huge fan of the series, I'm still getting this. Nowadays every CE costs between 100 and 150 and most of them are not even remotely worth it. This one's around 80/90 euros and when I think that seems quite a bit I then look at stuff with super tiny statues and crappy contents for attrocious prices like Nier Automata Black Box for 200eur, Monster Hunter World that has an even worse artbook for 150, same with Ni No Kuni II. Seven Deadly Sins at 110 euros is even worse, with just a tiny little statue. So yeah, the contents are not amazing but t now that I've became used to Bamco and Square's price atrocities with at least 3 digits, it isn't as horrible, plus I want this game a lot.

I could agree with your point about contents of games recently overall but in the interests of fairness it's a bit unfair to list NNK2 to be compared to the others. It was £120 at lowest UK preorder price and includes a relatively chunky hardback artbook, a 12" vinyl with a lovely pop-up gatefold cover, the spinning ornamental music box, the game with normal case (included as I know that's a big deal to some people), a steelbook, the making of on Blu-Ray, a few postcards, the season pass and an outer box that is actually worth keeping.

Also as a big fan of them since starting with them on PS2 years ago, I would though disagree with your thinking on this Yakuza one. In my opinion comparing it to other games and justifying it like you did just lets companies off the hook for bringing out fairly crappy looking editions at what are still inflated prices.

ANYWAY.... back on topic

i think the unboxing was ruined by the poor quality box , even if the contents are great, the whole package just looks bad

they really should source for a different factory in china

Lately I've been trying to minimize the number of large editions I get - space is a growing concern because it's shrinking rapidly.

Quite glad I went for the Launch Edition on this case.
