Default Gears of War 3 Epic Edition & Limited Edition possibly canceled in parts of Europe

All we know is that the Epic Edition & Limited Edition is going to come to Europe but things have changed.

First, in the UK the Epic Edition is now exclusive to GAME & Gamestation.
Second, Germany & Austria are not getting the Epic Edition as well as the Limited Edition.
It is currently unknown how other countries in Europe are going to be affected by this but I suggest checking that your order is safe.

The Special Edition for Germany and Austria is limited to 500 copies and will include the following:
  • Red colored Wooden Box
  • COG Tag chain
  • Steelbook with Gears 3 writing
  • Marcus Fenix figure, 15 cm (about 6")
It appears that the Special Edition will be exclusive to 3 online retailers, according to a Newsletter pre-orders will be available at July 31st. One of the retailers is "Zockerrampe" from Germany. The others are probably from Austria and will apparently cost ? 140... View this article on the HomePage.

Thanks for the info!

I doubt it'll be a real Steelbook but i've preordered it to make sure i'll have it.
If it'll turn out that it's not a Steelbook i'll cancel my order.

And it looks the same as the ACME Edition for me except the Steelbook.

Atter which store did you order it from?

So this is not the Limited ACME Edition which has the same contents except the steelbook.

The picture is only a concept art and not final. This concept art looks like the one from ACME but is only available in Red and will include a Steelbook.

Zockerrampe is only one of 3 retailers selling this Edition. The other is Uncut-games.at and another Shop from Austria which is still not known.

Zockerrampe was taking pre-orders for the Austrian Epic Edition because it's uncut and the price was 139.99€. that's why the new Edition will also cost 139.99€.

The Edition will come with an Austrian copy that is uncut. (You guys know, German games tend to be obviously cut)

Austria will get the Epic Edition, it is just gamestop.at-exclusive; you can preorder it at the local stores (since this week iirc) - the Xbox AT-team has confirmed this on their official facebook-site.

The Ltd. and the Epic Edt. won't be released in Germany and the Benelux, but (e.g.) in France. In France it is game.fr-excl. (http://www.game.fr/Product/Default.aspx?SKU=102475); a shop, that doesn't send anything to locations outside French territory... buuut this is, where I'll get my copy from. I live in Germany, but the relatives of a friend's girlfriend live in France and will send me a copy (I hope the DLC will still work).

Actually I've never had such trouble ordering a Collector's Edition before, a real torture... this shop-exkl. deals (e.g. pre-order DLCs, editions, gimmicks) are one of the most terrible developments in the industry today...
......... not to mention the general problems of DLCs, online/MP passes, DRM etc..

i understand.
epic edt. will be not released in germany and austria (gamestop excl.)

but the special edition has really very limited content? because lot of people want epic edt and not this special edt. ?

whereas special edt. is more limited than epic edt..
