Namco Bandai have recently announced the Tales of Xillia Collector’s Edition for North America, as well as the Tales of Xillia Milla Maxwell Collector’s Edition and a Day 1 Edition for Europe and Australia. The game is scheduled for release in North America on 6 August and in Europe on 9 August, of course it’s PS3 exclusive.
Now here comes the best part. The Milla Maxwell Collector’s Edition is extremely limited to only 10,000 copies. However this does probably not affect the North American Collector’s Edition, even though there is little to no difference between the two editions.
Tales of Xillia Collector’s Edition (NTSC)
The Collector’s Edition comes with a Limited Edition Packaging and the includes the following:
- Exclusive 21.5 cm (~ 8.5 inch) Milla Maxwell figurine (including base)
- 100 pages Artbook with original artworks from the dev team
- Special Music Selection CD
It will be available from participating retailers for $99.99 USD
Tales of Xillia Milla Maxwell Collector’s Edition (PAL)
The Milla Maxwell Collector’s Edition is exclusive to Europe and Australia and includes everything from the North American Edition. The only difference is the missing CD case in the promotional picture. Let’s hope this does not mean Europe will only get a digital soundtrack version. Also the Xillia Milla Maxwell Collector’s Edition can only be pre-ordered from the Namco’s Tales store for people from Europe and only 10,000 copies will be available at the online store.
European fans can pre-order the edition here for £ 85.99 GBP/ €99.99 EUR
Australian fans have to place their pre-order at EB Games or JB-Hi-Fi’s for $148/$149 AUD
Tales Of Xillia D1 Edition
Everyone who pre-orders the game early will get a free upgrade to the D1 Edition. Which comes with a 52-Page Artbook and the Soundtrack.
Pre-order Steelcase
For those who have a chance to place their pre-order at Gamestop Germany, will receive a nice Steelcase. Calling it Steelcase probably means that this is not a proper Steelbook realese but more a Metalpack.
Thanks to everyone for finding and posting all those awesome information.

Nintendo Direct have revealed the release date for Fire Emblem: Awakening. The game will be available on 19 April, exactly one year after the game has been released in Japan. As apology for making European fans wait for the game Mr. Shibata also announced a Limited Edition 3DS XL Bundle exclusive to Europe.
The Bundle includes an exclusive blue Nintendo 3DS XL console with Fire Emblem art imprinted on the console itself, already pre-loaded with a digital copy of Fire Emblem: Awakening.
Europe will also get all of the Japanese DLCs and the first one called “Champions of Yore 1” can be downloaded free for a short period of time.
Considered that this console is not the same as the original consoles that were released on the other markets, we can still expect it to be limited. When the bundle went on sale in North America, it almost instantly sold out.
So, if you are a fan of the Fire Emblem series or even if you are just looking to make an investment you’ll better want to make sure to place your pre-order early.
The bundle currently costs £219.99 GBP at Amazon.co.uk
