nice, is that the steelbook gemini was going on about?

Once again I am beside myself; Unable to understand the logic behind the announcement and release of these "Australian","Austrian" or European exclusive editions that are generally better than anything we see here in North America.

Can anyone in this CE.o community explain this unprofitable logic to me?

I dunno why they release anything in Australia. Like what I have to pay triple for something worth 70 because they got some screwed economy?

Anyways how many steelbook editions of this game are they releasing?

Maybe it has something to do with how the regular edition games cost just $10 less? Myself I'm puzzled. I'm really interested in this release, why can't EB Games AU ship internationally? Gamestop.com does!

With so many exclusive editions they could pretty much sell internationally. The only hope I have to get these games is probably through ebay for a much higher price usually. But not anytime soon. Plus they seem to be releasing too much exclusive stuff lately.

I'm guessing its because Australia normally get games released at later date than other regions Eg Zelda Ocarina of Time 3DS by 2 week but had the opportunity to get the Ocarina Edition

Considering most of the editions are exclusive to particular stores only, I don't really think that makes much sense though.

Might just be the shop trying to get more people to buy from them. As some people I know were quite happy to save $20 and just get OoT from Game or Game Traders with out the LE. It also helps reduce people ordering online to get a oversea product which is cheaper than a local release. Same goes with the preorder bonuses (for me at least)

I understand people wanting to save money, but as a Collector, I do not care about saving money, but rather, I care only about getting the most lavish and collectible edition of a game I love that I can find.

With all this exclusive B#%$@# retailers are doing now I am unable to get more than 1/2 of the best Collector's editions coming out unless I find them on eBay sometime after release. I just feel more and more alienated living here in the US as each new game comes out...
