[KianRockz]

It will also contain some DLCs

[comaamen86]

wonder what i can do with a headless female zombie bust?

[Ryaku]

Someone can help me to buy it please ? :(

[Biggav4000]

Seems expensive for what you get

[comaamen86]

Seems expensive for what you get

if they are hand painted i am guessing it will be limited, maybe numbered even.

[Ayiu]

if they are hand painted i am guessing it will be limited, maybe numbered even.

probably not. They would have mentioned that in their item description.

[Ryaku]

i'll ask to deep silver more information

[Ayiu]

i'll ask to deep silver more information

Thanks.

Might also be of interest:

Gamesonly.at takes money for pre-orders straight away and ships only within the EU.

[comaamen86]

Thanks.

they ship to uk? i am sticking to numbered 8P hand painted is a lot of effort

[KianRockz]

Is there a picture of the Steelbook?

[NaughtyDogJames]

Unique blood spatters. Like Coma said being handpainted likely to be limited.

[dahein]

The Edition is exclusively sold in Austria, Germany and Switzerland.

a little correction:
According to Deep Silver the game is not coming out in Germany, so thisone is only sold in austria and switzerland

[Ayiu]

a little correction:

yea, I was also wondering when I read it on Gamesonly.at

Ah they changed it...it's supposed to mean that people from these country can only order it on Gamesonly.at

Will try to find out more about it!

Edit: The Edition is limited to 8000 units

[Sana Sani]

probably not. They would have mentioned that in their item description.

It will be litmited to 8000 picies.

8.000 Stk. Bikini Torsos, Teil der Riptide CE, werden von 20 Professionisten handbemalt - jedes St?ck ein Unikat.


EDIT:too slow

[Ayiu]

It will be litmited to 8000 picies.

haha yea thanks, I just read their update about this ^^ and edited my post.

[rapister]

oh gee... on closer look i dont think i will ever get this version

looks like it will be hand-painted in china by a chinaman, even though it will be sold in europe.

i thought the painter looks chinese

and on closer look, his thinner bottle is labelled with chinese characters.

so yea, looks like the statue will be painted in china.

lol looks like this guy gotta paint 8000

pardon me, just had bad experiences with made in china products before.

[WINGSFANmac]

I....kind of need to have this.
:tomato:

[Ayiu]

Is there a picture of the Steelbook?

It's the standard Steelbook.

It not only 1 guy ,they hired 20 men for the paint job.

[thefunk007]

The fact the NA release is not coming out on PC makes this an easy choice for me. The statue weighs in at 2kg and shipping to the UK is only 8.99 EUR - seeing how many people shop at gamesonly this will sell out.

[LowlyAssassin]

hmmm now do i get this or rigor mortis
damn decisions

[ingmar1988]

lowly you forget the gameware exclusive edition.

btw amazon sucks, they dont ship to europe yet (they always do this with pre-orders very annoying).

Maybe its just me, but 8000 seems quite a high number for just 2/3 countries, and with this price. Il just wait out and see.

been checking daily, i think they give it a week to see how it does as a us only order, then release global

prefer amazon edition to gamesonly by miles

[Cybersick]

yeah bad ass edition i order my bait edition right now this is f.. cool , i find this better than the rigor morgis edition.

Always the risk mate, they have 263,444 likes on Facebook so are a popular choice for gamers, I think 8,000 will sell before release but could be wrong. PC version is also 20 EUR cheaper so makes it a little less painful + I can't even get the other version as it's not being released on the PC.

[vhal_x]

So gutted I'm gonna have to fail on my Dead Island collecting off the bat this year :( xx

[ingmar1988]

Does gameonly take money straight away when using paypal? I dont have the funds to order atm (i would have in april, because its my bday than :D).

nvm: i see they do :(

any chance amazon.de will get it?

[Cybersick]

yes they take your money immediately

[KianRockz]

Yeah Germany doesnt get this

[Ayiu]

Yeah Germany doesnt get this

"Der Vertrieb dieser streng limitieren Edition fuer Oesterreich, Schweiz und Deutschland wurde exklusiv an GamesOnly uebertragen."

It's exclusivity sold through Gamesonly for Austria, Swiss and Germany no other store will sell this...Sure the game itself is not going to be released in Germany but you can still order it from another country unless it gets indexed....

[ingmar1988]

btw, 8000 copies is across all platforms right?

Is the game even included in the box? It almost looks like they will supply it seperate, but i might be wrong.

[thefunk007]

Good question mate, maybe one to ask Deepsilver, I can imagine 8,000 will be across all platforms, which might mean the game does not come packed in the box but I don't know!

[CrixDoomsday]

Really awsome Ce but too expensiv for me :/

Most of figures in better CEs u get is hand painted.

Would be awsome to hav every Riptide CE edition :D

[Ayiu]

game should be within the box but the steelbook might come separately.

Should be 8k units across all platforms.

[Dr_Jengo]

Interest Level for this franchise just went up ten notches... :bday:

Enjoyed the first game but wasn't really into this game's CEs until now. I have a thing for good quality packaging as well so would like to get the NA version..

:hammer: myself for joining this forum.. lol

[LowlyAssassin]

There's another edition
Someone better tell me if I want the games are edition before I go hunt out down
Now seeing as everyone here knows what I like someone better
Decided for me while I'm asleep

[LowlyAssassin]

Could only find zombie bait ed and steel book end on games only.at
My mistake was looking on wrong website

Double edit
Can't find any info about the games are edition :(

[CrixDoomsday]

Im now wondering - Game coms from poland... Maybe we will have polish Exclusiv CE :D I hope so.

[vhal_x]

Well there were Polish Exclusive CEs for the first one, the Survival Kit was Polish xx

[comaamen86]

yeh i think polish will get a nice ce, hope uk gets a nice one and does not get shafted like last time, or at the very least amazon us ship their edition globally

[LowlyAssassin]

meh nothing beets surival kit
good look following that up poland
i expect a hotel vip care package
or im going to come over there and steel all your jobs

[vhal_x]

So gutted that the Zombie Bait edition requires payment up front :( I sent them a message asking if there is any way to preorder, but pay nearer to release, and they said no :(

Argh, I really don't want to fuck up my Dead Island collecting straight away this year :facepalm: xx

would of ordered the bait edition just cant afford right now 8(

[LowlyAssassin]

aww does coma want one aswell?
well i filled in my overtime sheets for this uarter and i should hae aload of money
so who wants one?

[vhal_x]

It's like €139 shipped I think, which is around ?115 :/

I'll figure out a way to get it, just infuriating as usually the beginning of the year is pretty quiet (in regards to CEs), but this year it's really busy :S

Doesn't help that I have a few large, expensive statues to pay for soon too :/ :suicide: xx

[LowlyAssassin]

yeps i think we have all started to get our fingers in too many pies

and it doesnt help with some games having 5 CE`s its not like anyone thought Dead Island was any good anyway so how come they have 3 editions already and more too come

[vhal_x]

It was the same with the first one. Tonnes of CEs for that one too, I'm only missing a few now for the first one xx

[comaamen86]

ah thats ok lowly thanks for the offer though, maybe i will get it maybe not

must be self sufficient

[LowlyAssassin]

nice to see nobody has any need for me
makes me feel so wanted
even when i offer my help people turn it down
so much for being kind

[kittychloe]

Im not reading 6 pages to find out if its already been said but that bust's bust looks very fake, vanity thy name is "statue"

Or fred, im naming it fred

[LowlyAssassin]

haha nice
well i want a fred of my own then

[kittychloe]

I would but i got my eye on the lineage 2 statue

[vhal_x]

Will be available for preorder at major retailers in the UK too, so I'm guessing Amazon or GAME xx

[vhal_x]

Also, this image was released, which shows a different bikini, but it says it's also available at Gamesonly, so I guess they're gonna repaint the bikinis?

Exclusively for Europe and Australia on Xbox 360, this extremely limited collector's edition includes Dead Island Riptide, the special Steelbook case, a unique collectible artwork card, and a pack of weapon mods for use in the game. In addition, collectors receive a 31cm x 8.5cm (12.2" x 7.3") resin statue as Dead Island's grotesque take on the Roman marble torso.

The Zombie Bait Edition will be available for pre-order at major retailers in the UK (?99.99), GamesOnly.at in Austria (€119.99), and we will have price and retailer details for Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Australia, and Benelux retailers shortly.

Dead Island Riptide, the next Dead Island game, releases in Europe and Australia on April 26, 2013.

Also it seems it will be released in the uk.

[Pielord]

oh my bad too slow :P

[vhal_x]

Also, it's apparently an Xbox 360 exclusive edition - according to the official Facebook page xx

[comaamen86]

beat me to it, now to practice my hawk impression waiting for it to be listed

[kittychloe]

So there are 4000 of each version? Or 8k of each.. And you would need both color schemes for a complete collection

[Dr_Jengo]

Why so emo? :think:
:hammer:

and in reference to 2 different bikini`s
remvoable bikinis
:rotf: :swoon: i`m hilarious :thumb:

[vhal_x]

I don't think it's 2 different bikinis, I think it's that they've decided to change it from an American flag to a British flag since it's mainly a EU CE (plus AUS). So I don't think the US flag will exist, they will probably be repainted xx

[Dr_Jengo]

[Vlad]

I can't wait for this one, I just seen it there and wow, it's so ridiculous that I have to get it, haha.

I also read that it should be available in the UK so I'm looking forward to seeing who gets it.

[comaamen86]

We need a green and gold bikini on our with a boxing kangaroo and drop bear :D :lol:

i love the word drop bear for some reason

you found a bride yet?

[Matrix6]

How about a braless statue with bonus bikini's covering 3-4 nation themes to put on like a doll so that you can rotate it every once in a while?? :this:

i love the word drop bear for some reason

you found a bride yet?

Yes, but he...I mean, she just hasn't accepted it just yet...a bit more confinement and enhancement unprescribed medication should do the trick after being released from asylum :nosleep: :sick:

[comaamen86]

you will get hitched uk, loadsa people want aussie citizenship

[comaamen86]

go to soho

[Matrix6]

More importantly, I really hope the Aussie Bikini Edition isn't exclusive to Xbox360 only :/

[OniRyo]

The Zombie Bait Edition will be available for pre-order at major retailers in the UK (?99.99), GamesOnly.at in Austria (?119.99), and we will have price and retailer details for Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Australia, and Benelux retailers shortly.

Dead Island Riptide, the next Dead Island game, releases in Europe and Australia on April 26, 2013.

Will it still be limited to 8000?, I have my doubts kinda.

It'll be released in U.K but only on XBOX360 with U.K Flag (Aut Variant is with U.S Flag) ?

Edit :

Released in France Tooo !!!

[ingmar1988]

it just does not make any sense to make it 360 exclusive.

[thefunk007]

Yeah odd!

[OniRyo]

No but seriously, who would love to show this in his/her room? I'm not a fan of it, but i'm just curious if there are people who love this edition!.

I actually prefer the US version, it's way cheaper and i just like the collection more.

[evilvort3x]

its on shopto for the x360 only at the moment the bait edition!

Did we post this?

http://kotaku.com/5976203/deep-silver-we-deeply-apologize-for-statue-of-severed-womans-torso

"A statement on the Zombie Bait Edition:

We deeply apologize for any offense caused by the Dead Island Riptide “Zombie Bait Edition”, the collector’s edition announced for Europe and Australia. Like many gaming companies, Deep Silver has many offices in different countries, which is why sometimes different versions of Collector’s Editions come into being for North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia.

For the limited run of the Zombie Bait Edition for Europe and Australia, a decision was made to include a gruesome statue of a zombie torso, which was cut up like many of our fans had done to the undead enemies in the original Dead Island.

We sincerely regret this choice. We are collecting feedback continuously from the Dead Island community, as well as the international gaming community at large, for ongoing internal meetings with Deep Silver's entire international team today. For now, we want to reiterate to the community, fans and industry how deeply sorry we are, and that we are committed to making sure this will never happen again."

[SwiftDeath]

So do people think they're going pull this CE?

Doubt complaints were from gamers or dead island fans sigh

[Beaniator]

i really hope they dont pull this edition.
look at what people can buy from movie prop replicas etc and horror and aliens etc and alot more graphic.
to me this is an excellent edition thats worth my money (already pre-ordered).
alot of people need to step back and get off the blowing things out of proportion wagon.

[OniRyo]

Well, i got to admit like i said before, i didn't really like the statue, because imo it just looks ugly, but i can guess there would be many Dead Island fans who would love this edition. I really don't mind them releasing it, if you don't like it don't buy it.

[Letrico]

From what I heard, it's getting pulled from Australia. No official announcement yet but I'll keep watch :P

[adam1289]

I really hope that they don't pull this edition as other statues on the market are much more graphic than this.

[adam1289]

When they issued the apology while they said the edition was a mistake that never outright said they are going to pull it from the market so hopefully it will reach stores.:shrug:

It's up on amazon for only ?70.60

[OniRyo]

As it seems they are going to release this edition anyways, why wouldn't they?.

[ingmar1988]

ffs, really why god why only on 360! I dont want to order it on gamesonly, amazon is much cheaper and free shipping.

[vhal_x]

I think GamesOnly will change their listing to 360 only eventually, as GamesOnly was listed as a retailer of it on the Dead Island page, which said it was 360 only, so I think GamesOnly jumped the gun and listed it as all platforms first without realising xx

Indeed, unless Gamesonly.at gets 2 different versions, but that would really surprise me, the Dead Island Facebook page has already announced this is Xbox 360 exclusive.

Maybe a german member could contact them?

nvm, send them an email. Hope they reply soon. Also asked whats up with the different bikini flag. Hope they answer every question lol.

Ordered it Thanks <3

[Ayiu]

Maybe a german member could contact them?

nvm, send them an email. Hope they reply soon. Also asked whats up with the different bikini flag. Hope they answer every question lol.

I also contacted them about various questions. Will add the Q & A to my initial post once they answered.

[Ayiu]

I already got an answer from Gamesonly.at like I promised I will publish them

Q & A

Q: Are game & steelbook included in the box or are they separate?
A: Game & Steelbook will be in the box together with the torso statue.

Q: Does the box come sealed in any way?
A: The box will not come sealed.

Q: Is this Edition really available for all 3 platforms (PC, PS3, Xbox 360)?
A: We guarantee a 100% delivery for all 3 platforms.

Q: In other European countries the bikini of the torso comes with the British flag, is yours really wearing the US flag?
A: It's still unknown which flag can be seen on our bikini but we keep you up to date through our Newsletter

[vhal_x]

I'm guessing the box will not come sealed because they plan on opening it and switching the games out as necessary?

Also, just been listed at Zavvi.com now, still 360 exclusive xx

[LowlyAssassin]

congrats Ayiu on being promoted to the news team

[Ayiu]

I'm guessing the box will not come sealed because they plan on opening it and switching the games out as necessary?

Also, just been listed at Zavvi.com now, still 360 exclusive xx

yea I really hope that the UK one will come sealed. Should be much easier to handle if it stays 360 exclusive.

I also asked if the limited run of 8000 units is exclusively to their shop but I did not receive an answer :(

Edit: Thanks Lowly \^.^/

[vhal_x]

Also, it's the American flag bikini at Zavvi.com, according to their listing photo xx

[LowlyAssassin]

yea I really hope that the UK one will come sealed. Should be much easier to handle if it stays 360 exclusive.

so envious of you right now being new s member
:,( with your blue name

[Matrix6]

Also, just been listed at Zavvi.com now, still 360 exclusive xx
Wow, expensive much?? :/
Amazon won't ship it to Aus! Is there a possibility they'll change that?

yea I really hope that the UK one will come sealed. Should be much easier to handle if it stays 360 exclusive.

I hope Austria still gets the American flag, so then it's at least unique as their 3 platform orders.
I'd just have a hard time choosing between a Brit or an American can!? :hammer:

I hope Australia doesn't get this edition as they're a bunch of child-like-cats when it comes to these things, still need to grow a pair they do! (imo) (media and politicians and immature gamers)

[Matrix6]

Also, it's the American flag bikini at Zavvi.com, according to their listing photo xx

Hit the 'Description' tab and they show the Union Jack! :tomato:

[vhal_x]

bloody hell, this is getting beyond confusing >.< :rotf: xx

[ingmar1988]

I also mailed gamesonly, and i have one more important thing to add.

According to them the box will NOT have platform branding, making it easy to switch the game out. I might just order from amazon.co.uk and sell the game seperately.

edit: just made order to be sure i get one, can always cancel it if wanted.

Thanks ingmar, I just added it to one of the answers. Hope your okay with that.

[ingmar1988]

yup all good,

btw i wonder is it possible to make a poll on forum/site? Would be nice if we could poll members what they think about this CE due to the controversy about it being sexist.

[thefunk007]

Gamesonly.at have just cancelled my order and it seems that they won't ship to the UK and I assume Europe?

Does that mean the Amazon one won't be branded? What about the back of the box?

[Beaniator]

just had my order cancelled by gamesonly as well and full refund.
really hope this isnt due to complaints.
my mistake it was cancelled but reordered with right delivery cost

[ingmar1988]

I might email them about that, but expect them to be clueless, i want to see if it sells out or not. If it does not, il probably cancel it so i can watch unboxing and than reorder it.

[StyX]

Can someone tell me (or is there even any information about it?) If there is any difference between the gamesonly and the amazon version?

By the way: I'm working for gamestop Austria and we got an email today that we will also get the zombie bait edition.

wow that's pretty odd...wasn't Gamesonly telling that they are the only reseller for the whole German speaking area?

The only thing I can image is that their statue comes indeed with another bikini print which is limited to 8000 units just for their stock.

But these are all speculations...

[ingmar1988]

Still that would not make sense to say its an exclusive version, since its all called zombie bait and it would just be a different print. We see how it goes.

[ingmar1988]

on gamesonly.at facebook is now picture with british flag!!

Plastic window
No thanks you
I'm out

Is it just me or is that British one overly pale
What are they trying to say
That us British women dont get enough sun and are all vampires

[Pielord]

I would think its more to do with the decaying flesh xD

[LowlyAssassin]

Ahh so the British one is overly pale because the British one died first and the american ones have a nice lovely tan goin g on

[schremser]

gamestop will not get the zombie bait - it?s exklusive to gamesonly - i calles gamestop and they agreed...

[LowlyAssassin]

Styx said he is working for GameStop Austria and yea what he said
So maybe only certain game stops are getting them in

nope ;)

[LowlyAssassin]

OK I give up then
Some bodies wrong but I no care as I'm not getting it anyway

[StyX]

Based on your country?s flag in your profile I assume you are from Germany and therefore Gamestop Germany will probably not get the edition as I doubt Riptide will be sold in Germany in general (cause of the brutality, gore, zombie slaughter issue).

But back to topic: I just talked to my boss and he told me it?s not quite sure if we will get it at all as Gamestop is in negotiation with the retailer so yes, I also assume now that we won?t get the edition. I thought we will get it cause we got an email where it was mentioned it is not clear how many pieces of it we will get but never mentioned if we?ll get it at all. So sorry for the inconvenience.

[Twisted]

is this still coming out because of all the backlash and uproar and media noise condemning it? i know the developers were issueing apologies through PR and twitter and said they were going to re evaluate this edition.

[vhal_x]

Well, different shops received the rights to sell it AFTER the media backlash. Considering the statues were already produced, and a lot of fans gave support (and have preordered already), they will bring it out anyway.

They never explicitly said they were gonna pull it, they just said they will make sure they never let an edition like this happen again xx

[kittychloe]

Gotta love a CE with a good story

[rapister]

looks like its going to be 2 versions at least, and isnt so limited after all...

[ingmar1988]

Amazon price up from 70 to 90 pounds (i got a 360 version on order), sucks though. I really need to see an unboxing to be sure no 360 branding is on the box.

There's still time until April and many unboxing vids show up before the official release date. So you should have some time to cancel your order if you don't want it anymore.

[ingmar1988]

I hope so, because its an excellent price and can resell the game.

[Cosmic_Link]

Up for pre-order at GAME UK. Only for 360 by the looks of it.

[imironmann]

How many different bikini versions are there? Are they exclusive to specific stores or just exclusive to the relevant countries?
