    I should have posted this in Additions and Corrections. Mods, you may want to move this over there.

    damn, you're right it's not up there, I even pre-ordered this one too

    thanks for reminding me...

    This is also going to be available here in the UK known as the 'White' edition, and is a GAME exclusive:

    PS3

    Not to be confused with the 'Black' edition which is a PLAY.com exclusive:

  5. iwes:
    it's gamestop exclusive again.

  6. grim_d:
    Didn't know about the play.com one, now have both versions pre-ordered.

    Play.com one looks better and has more bonus quests.

  7. scourdx:
    The Master Assassin's Edition isn't Gamestop exclusive. I picked it up last night at Walmart.

  8. twistedsymphony:
    it says "gamestop exclusive" right on the box...




    what does yours look like?

  9. Skoolstah:
    Anyone got the Black Edition yet? Mine still hasn't arrived.

    Mine didn't have any. It is Canadian version which has both English & French.

  11. twistedsymphony:
    ahh I see, typically when stores have an "exclusive" it means "exclusive within this country"

    for instance most of the "GAME.com exclusive" releases in the UK are also sold in mainland Europe... .

    under the availability heading I try to word it properly so as to accurately protray this...

    for instance for ACII TMAE I wrote "In the US the Master Assassin's Edition is only available through GameStop stores."

    meaning that the limited availability is only in the US, while other countries didn't have that restriction.

  12. scourdx:
    It sucks Gamestop hold the exclusive right to the limited edition in the US. This makes it hard for anyone to get it. I keep on eye on ebay bid and they were outrageous. The figuring fetch & tin case fetch $60 a piece and the 2 exclusive downloadable content fetch $70+. If anyone wants to get it, it will be $120+. So if you didn't have a chance to get it, I would go with the Canadian version. You can order them from Amazon.ca

    PS3 AC2 LE
    Xbox360 AC2 LE

  13. twistedsymphony:
    it seems that most CEs are starting to hold their value better... the exception being super popular titles where they flood the market (ie: Halo 3)...

    it's good for us collectors.

  14. scourdx:
    Halo 3 was hyped to death. I can see why it got devalued fast. I hope other future collector edition will come with more unique item than a bonus disc and exclusive DLC.

  15. Xtincthed:
    i got myself a black edition for the PS3

    i hate it that you can't open the box without partially removing the paper on the back..

  16. ob1ob:
    I saw couple of these behind the counter at my local GameStop yesterday. I didn't notice what systems they were for. I'm surprised they are still there.
