Tales of Xillia Collector's Edition coming to PAL and NTSC regions

[Ayiu]

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 (http://www.talesofgame.com/uk.html) for ? 85.99 GBP/ ?99.99 EUR

Australian fans have to place their pre-order at EB Games (https://www.ebgames.com.au/ps3-161587-Tales-of-Xillia---Milla-Maxwell-Collectors-Edition-PlayStation-3) or JB-Hi-Fi's (http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/game/ps3/tales-of-xillia-milla-maxwell-collector-s-edition/683073) 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.

Wait, the CE's actually called the Milla Maxwell Collector's Edition in the PAL region? I know it's a bit of a long shot, but does this mean that they're planning on a Jude Mathis Collector's Edition?

Anyways, I'm stoked for this game. I prefer it over Ni No Kuni, which is a great game by the way.

Really don't know what this is all about. Two similar editions but two names. Also one is supposed to be limited and the other one not, which makes no sense because in the end non of them are limited at all :huh:

I would definitely go for the Jude Mathis Edition, bring it on Namco <3

[Solemn_In_Berlin]

^ Namco Bandai said that they'll be bringing a Milla Maxwell statue to North America. I guess this is what they meant. So my theory is this; So that PAL won't get the shaft, Namco will be giving the region 10,000 copies of said statue figure in the form of a CE.

By the way, if anyone wants any details, the manufacturer of the prize figure is Banpresto and for the sake of measuring quality this early, here are a couple of pics.

I want that steel..eh pak?

...great...

The only difference is the missing CD case in the promotional picture.

What the actual f*ck.

You know, depending on which stores will be selling this collector's edition, it may actually make more sense for Europeans to order the American version. Even if you you get forced to pay customs, it will be cheaper and you get the CD in an actual CD case and not a stupid cardboard jacket or something.
FU Namco, I'm not getting shafted.

Also, banpresto figurines are usually really crappy.

want.

[Solemn_In_Berlin]

^ I can't say that Banpresto figures are crappy since they're prize figures anyway. But yeah, I would have preferred that the CE statue would be the one from Alter, but that would have jacked the price up.

[winds]

Is Canada going to be getting this? Doesn't seem like any retailers have it listed.

[CheapAssassin]

hmmm.. that steelpack... i really want it. If it was exclusive to only 10,000 copies for Europe, does that mean the steelpack will be even limited? O.o

[Viridius]

I think the online store had the 10, 000 limit. The steelbook is very unique. Here's hoping we get one down in aus :)

Someone want to help me get the steelpak?

I wonder if it's given upon item purchase or just pre-order. hmm

It stands a good chance that it will be given with the game upon purchase. If this offer is available to the UK I don't mind giving people a hand with this. :D

See what offers come up for this about the place! ^o^

Ah yeah, then unfortunately we have to buy the game as well.

All would be well except I'm going to buy it here in the States.

Thanks for the offer Cosmic, and in case anyone is able to get a few extra steelpaks, I'm your man :thumb:

[Artemisthemp]

I really hope Namco will make the Steel Case part of the Milla Maxwell CE

[RyT]

gamestop us only??

[Yarrmor]

Does anyone have an idea if Gamestop.de also ships to the netherlands? If not, I live close to the border, it's only a few km for a store close by. But still... I'm gonna buy the CE and Gamestop.de version, so if by any chance I get 2 steelbooks (not likely) and someone doesn't, I can send you one.

Also, first post... Hi!

IF YOU DO GET AN EXTRA STEELBOOK

DIBS- :thumb:

just in case :P

[Tubigdomo]

It's no longer available on Eb and jbhifi websites. I'm surprised the pre-orders are eaten up so quickly

[Viridius]

Yeah called up and asked why, and they said it's due to limited stock worldwide. Not sure if it's true, but JB won't accept any orders in store, and EB told me that they would stop taking orders soon...

[kittychloe]

figures i would miss it.. i dont get paid till this arvo so the $50 upfront was impossible till then.. pain in the ass, im not paying scalper prices though to hell with that

[RyT]

sigh was contemplating to order or not to,, guess will miss out.. only if Amazon have it

[Viridius]

Guys I only ordered my copy from EB today, so your local may still take orders. Worst case, gamestop us is still taking orders, postage is about $35, so $135 all up. Don't give up! :)

im house sitting at my parents the closest EB is an hour and a half drive lol

[winds]

Are you guys only referring to the Australian edition? Is the US release in jeopardy of being sold out?

[Tubigdomo]

Yeah, we were referring to the Australian edition.

[Raven]

Is this exclusive to the Namco-Bandai store for Europe?

But since they have it at other retailers in AUS, hopefully it is not, I prefer to order off Amazon =p

[TMM]

Hi,

Ok so I buckled. I told myself all I would get for the rest of the year is Injustice (this week) and Assassin's Creed 4 later in the year. But recently my fiance completed Tales of Vesperia on the 360 and loved it! She's always been a fan of the Tales games and has a few in her queue to play. Think I'll keep this preorder a secret and give her it on delivery (she is obviously aware of the game itself).

Looking forward to it - not really my cup of tea, although I do enjoy watching the games when she plays them, and when she plays them I get to play other games! :)

TMM

[Yarrmor]

So I just preordered my CE copy on talesofgame.uk and got a confirmation email that said only "Dear Jelle," (my name, duh) and some banner above it. Anyone else having the same thing?

[Cosmic_Link]

Nope, never got the email. I need to contact them somehow, but it appears that after a brief talk with their UK CS, I need to contact the France CS. >.< Kinda sucks as it is international and possibly a premium number! >.<

Hi,

I received my confirmation e-mail within a few minutes, showing everything I need to know to be honest:

Dear me,

Thanks for your order.
You will be charged when the game is released.

Etc.

Apparently I get free delivery and also some free DLC as part of the order (not sure when or how this DLC is delivered, i.e. is it via e-mail, or is it a card that will come packaged with it?)

-TMM

[winds]

For the Canadian folk, this is now being offered by gamestop/ebgames in Canada. It's in the online store here: http://www.ebgames.ca/ps3/games/tales-of-xillia-collectors-edition/316487, as well I just pre-ordered in store.

[Clusks]

Just ordered mine from the UK store.

Still not played tales of vesperia, it's sitting there still in it's packaging for 360. Was planning on getting it done through the summer, but may have to bring that forward (if I can take myself away from Luigi's Mansion 2!)

[Matrix6]

Hurry.......
https://www.ebgames.com.au/ps3-161587-Tales-of-Xillia---Milla-Maxwell-Collectors-Edition-PlayStation-3

Apparently, according to Namco Aus, we'll be getting the preorder bonus steelbook (+ DLCs) if you preorder the Limited Edition (Day One Edition).

[kittychloe]

im not rich enough to pick up both

[Tubigdomo]

It looks like they increased the amount of the milla maxwell edition based on the surprise in demand >.<

[kittychloe]

got any info on a number change?

[Tubigdomo]

Nope, it just sounds like there is a change because jbhifi also put their preorders backup, this time with a "1 per customer" message on it. Where did both jbhifi and ebgames get extra units from? Assuming they did sell out their pre orders before.

[kittychloe]

maybe a cancellation of multiple orders? i will ask the guy at eb on monday see if he knows anything

[Cosmic_Link]

Nope, never got the email. I need to contact them somehow, but it appears that after a brief talk with their UK CS, I need to contact the France CS. >.< Kinda sucks as it is international and possibly a premium number! >.<

Update on this:

I contacted the France CS and it appears that they are pretty clueless on the matter and then gave me a number for the UK CS, which when I called it was just a recorded message fobbing you off and telling you to contact them via twitter. >.< I have instead emailed them at customerserviceuk@namcobandaipartners.com.

Here's hoping that I will receive a response soon. Whatever happened to that days where you could call a CS centre and have a moan to somebody over the phone rather than having to wait for somebody to reply to you before moaning may commence....? -_-

It also appears that the Paypal payment option has been removed from the site and they have limited orders to 1 per person so I can't even make another order! :hammer:

[comaamen86]

aymoo is there any link to where the d1 edition is available from? thanks

[Tubigdomo]

aymoo is there any link to where the d1 edition is available from? thanks

The links for the d1 edition in Australia are at:

Jbhifi (https://www.jbhifionline.com.au/game/ps3/tales-of-xillia-limited-edition/683088)

and

Ebgames (https://ebgames.com.au/ps3-162205-Tales-of-Xillia-Limited-Edition-PlayStation-3)

[Kelekin]

Anyone in Canada pre-order this locally? I've had the link up for three or four days on EB Canada and it has said "not available" the entire time.

[Ayiu]

aymoo is there any link to where the d1 edition is available from? thanks

It will probably show up at Gamestop.co.uk very soon. It's already available for pre-order at Gamestop/EB Games in many countries. Just a matter of time, young padawan.

[kennyrh]

Don't know if this info might be useful for anyone in the UK without a credit card but i just put my debit card info in and it got accepted and i have an email confirmation of the order.

[Kelekin]

Okay, so as a note, I can confirm this was removed from the system at Gamestop/EBGames in Canada so it is no longer available for pre-order here. :(

[Viridius]

Looks like it's gone from EB games aus, but still up at jb hi fi. I wonder if this is limited to 10, 000 worldwide or just in the pal region?

[amb6883]

It is back online at Gamestop in the U.S.

[StayFree( ' 3')]

It is back online at Gamestop in the U.S.

can I still pre-order this in store?

[winds]

Okay, so as a note, I can confirm this was removed from the system at Gamestop/EBGames in Canada so it is no longer available for pre-order here. :(

Wait, what?
I pre-ordered this edition in-store last week. Can anyone else confirm this?
I'm going to call my gamestop tomorrow and find out if my order is still good.

Removed from system would imply that all existing pre-orders were still good. But I tried four different EBGames/Gamestop locations, I even got the SKU number for the CE, and it was no longer accepting new pre-orders.

[Raven]

Lol just noticed; error? Or are you guys in Aussie getting shafted?

Ahh okay, that scared me, haha. I'm really looking forward to this CE.
I'm going to try going to my local gamestop where I originally pre-ordered it today and see if they're still accepting orders.

EDIT: Just got back from my local gamestop and they aren't accepting new pre-orders for the CE either. The girl told me they were getting a very limited quantity so that's why it's no longer available. I knew I should have pre-ordered two... ah well.
Hopefully it becomes available again.

[Cosmic_Link]

For anybody who has ordered from the Tales store site, you can contact their Customer support on this email address should you need to change payment details or possibly cancel your order. :D

Just for those who may need it and are having trouble contacting anyone! lol

So much for out-of-stock in the US.

Seems that it's going to be mass produced over here at least..

http://storage.siliconera.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/tales_xillia.jpg

Namco Bandai have announced a limited edition for Tales of Xillia which will be available at all U.S. and Canadian retailers for $60. The limited edition was introduced in light of the strong response to the Tales of Xillia collector’s edition, Namco say. The limited edition of Tales of Xillia will come with the game, exclusive collectable character profile booklet, music CD and two DLC costumes. It will be limited to the game’s first-print run.

Glad I made a preorder for reg edition for $49.99 when amazon.ca had a discount :-)
