Got these frm EB today. You pre-order the game and then they give you a copy of the 500+ pages ACR novel

It's strictly limited in numbers and only available until stocks last! So obviously, if you want it, pre-order a copy of the game [only standard copies available atm], then when the EB 'exclusive' CE becomes available, just upgrade to that and you will then get the book come release day!!!




Assassin's Creed: Revelations by Oliver Bowden is available for purchase at all leading book stores

You actually get the book when preorderinmg. Got one while trading in mass effect 3 for the metalpak

Cheeky buggers at EB games didnt give me my book when i pre-ordered,they said we dont have any yet. They also forgot to give me my carrots to,lol.
Personally i dont think the book is a great pre-order bonus considering what you spend & even wrote to EB games to complain about how pathetic it is.
The email i got back simply stated we will try to address your concerns sorta bs. I would have thought that pre-order bonuses would be something worthy by now & not so rubbishy as a book. The steelbooks,fantastic & i cant wait to get mine. Only bummer was the postage cost me more than the steel book,the steelbook cost me $1.50 but postage was $18,go figure,lol

I think the possible reasons of why the EB you pre-ordered didn't have any book instock was perhaps they'd already run out of copies? I don't know of when you did yours, but they were limited in quantity per store and only for a limited time. I did mine by the next day it was announced to make sure I didn't miss out. Although it's a relatively "cheap" pre-order incentive [it also only cost $10 for the novel], my intention is more of a preemptive preorder which I'll upgrade to their inevitable traditional "exclusive" edition at a later date. If I'm "forced" to purchase something for them I will take advantage of whatever they have to offer free from now until the day I collect! [and if anything...I could just cancel my preorders...free books yay! ]

As for your email/response from them, much luck I will pray for you...a decent excuse they'll give

Imagine if the US steelbook either becomes a preorder bonus from JB or GAME or as part of one of the CE they'll release later?!? Wouldn't you be soooo peeved??

Was told by them,order & get a free book,i think it even states that on the receipt i have somewhere. I dont usually buy from eb games due to their pricing etc but,you can get some bargains etc if you time it right & no what to say. I think the last thing was assassins creed animus edition,sold out everywhere,no stores had any left so i was told etc. I pushed,persisted etc & eventually the store i was in doing this found one that supposedly didnt exist in their storeroom,$100 later & it was mine. Considering some people are trying to sell just the encyclopedia out of them for $80 i think i did well.
Thats also the main reason i pre-ordered was to secure a limited edition when its here.
Also,i dont think or expect i will hear anything more from them. Which to me isnt good since we are the ones that keep them in business. As for a posssible steelbook or something else later,it hasnt happened yet. Occassionally you get lucky with a free upgrade or something,but that doesnt happen often here. We kinda get left out in some ways,which is stinky

Fixed,lol.

Also, I think that one will be Italian exclusive or something.

The end of March is practically this week, hopefully Ubi announces something officially.

I don't think we'll see any official Ubi announcements of worldwide/regional CE's until May/June. But I'm sure we'll see more of these secluded edition popping up around Europe and NA...maybe even Oz?!
