Looks nice and sexy. But PC game so no need for me to buy it. I can see how such a sexy steel can be so tempting tho. *looks at SwiftDeath :P

It is quite pricey tho +/- 180 dollars including shipping (25 dollars for handling and shipping).. has anyone ordered it yet? If yes, do they deduct str8 from your card or near released?

Fffff...180...too much for me at this moment...when is it released?

Preorder website? Payment upfront? So many questions...

Not into Pc games...love the steel and the catapoult (or whatever it's said in english for the artefact).

Will think to split it and sell the game...

By the way it's limited to 20.000...

Here is the pre-order link

http://us.download-store.sega.com/eshop/total-war/rome-2-3418.html

From the sega store itself

Not sure if you have to go to the UK sega store to preorder from Europe

Would like to know if payment is upfront as well

and it's limited to 22,000

Here's the thread for the CE itself

What I really love about this CE is that every steelbook is individually numbered in Roman numbers...

Thats damn sick!!! And that's something never seen before in a steelbook...

P.d: Damn...can't find the European link to preorder this thing...

No Uk, no europe collectors edition announced on the websites...

No collectors edition for Spain...uk will be fine for me...

Ok....reserved in Game UK...they don't take the money upfront, so if this one is released in Spain I will cancel that one...

I have to cover my shoulders...hehehe...

September and october are gonna let my wallet completely broken... AC4, Watch Dogs, Splinter Cell...don' even want to think about it...

But it's ok...have quite a lot of months to save money for these CE.... :)

Really still thinking in the Rome numbered steelbook...it's such an amazing and unique idea...

Yep this year is relentless in its desire to break the bank or burn the bank to the ground and dance on its ashes :lmao:

The roman numbered steelbook is a great idea especially since it's to be laser-etched. The gold NHL 12 steelbook was numbered but it was by a sticker

I wonder if the laser etching is a new service provided as an option by scanovo (steelbook manufacturers)?

If so we could have more numbered steels on our hands :spiteful:

We think alike then :D

The numbered steel and catapult really play to what I want in a CE :)

It's funny that they have the game board pieces too as that's going to become catapult ammo :D

20,000 is technically still a lot..10,000 would have been more like it....it reminds me of the kingdom of amular versions...

I feel like I'm betraying my morals..and yes as much as the steelbook looks very very sexy (yes sexy is the right word)
I am contemplating on pre-ordering this just for the trebuchet.

I'm a sucker for little knick-knacks. That toy looks amazing!

Ooohhh checking you out with the 'trebuchet' :ghey:

At first I thought the individually numbered steels contributed to the high cost of this CE but laser etching is a sneaky way of individualising mass produced items as, once the steels are produced, it is only a secondary run through manufacturing with the machine set to laser etch sequentially

now, if mine had a steel hand carved by a Roman foot soldier using only the canine tooth of a wild boar I would willingly sell my home and all it's contents to obtain one of these....

Not bad but I think they call it a collectors edition loan and not a steelbook

I have seen the wise coma predict another price drop, but if it doesn't in a month or 2 (and it doesn't sell out) I'll definitely pick it up
