Update:

Zavvi's Exclusive Limited Edition Steelbook Also Includes A Dark Souls CD Soundtrack


Release Date: 19 July 2013

Posted this in additions too and vhal answered that question

Yep, Zavvi always lists their steelbooks as sold out prior to the preorder going live :)

Is this only for PS3? No 360 version? xx

It was posted on another steelbook forum I frequent

I have tried searching for it via normal means both through zavvi and google and it can't find this page

I also can't find an xbox or PC version but if I can't find the PS3 version which does exist, that doesn't mean much

Also a statue would be nice. I know they made a series of dark souls statues but they're limited to like 5 or something.

Yes statues would be great

The limited ones they made for whatever event/contest was weirdly done

They hired some American to make them which he did but then he sold a couple extra off on ebay

I also was not at all impressed by those statues as they were small and fragile

I cannot wait for this. It already looks incredible!!!!!!!

I'm going to keep my eye out, but if someone does see it go live, do post here.

I'm definitely going to buy 1..G1 or G2...as long as its not a dumb tin.

Hmmm so anyone else think there's a 1000 copies of this steel to be released elsewhere then?

A little under standard MOQ for G2's but perhaps this is indeed the only retailer for it :scratch:

If so it will become hard to find at some point I imagine

Once you get past the initial difficulty it's not actually that hard. I remember when I first played it and was completely over whelmed, but it gets easier about halfway through, and once you've beaten it once you'll probably have a fairly good grasp on things.

I loved Demon's Souls too, (finished both games with some other players help) especially how awesome the level design is. Once you reach a certain point most often you can activate some sort of shortcut so if you die you don't have to grind through 90% of the level again.

A short run from the start gets you to the boss. :v:

Boinkzoink
05-28-2013, 07:56 AM
What attracted me most to the Souls series are:

- The relentless difficulty that can only be overcome through patience, skills and lots of painful lessons.
- The feeling of besting a boss for the first time is akin to winning lottery.
- The gothic Art direction that screams PURE EVIL at every corner.

On a note, some horrific levels actually frightens me and make me wanna stop playing sometimes. =\

All in all, the Souls series are really unique, and I hope Dark Souls 2 will carry on their style and... please DO NOT dump down the difficulty which the games are renowned for.

Prepare to Die Edition just comes with the Artorias of the Abyss DLC and what was the most recent patch at that point. It doesn't change the base game at all.

Brandon Storm

Wow, apparently I bought this.

I have basically no memory of doing so, so clearly it was a sleep-deprived endeavor, but I certainly have my receipt in my inbox.

Would've been fun if I hadn't realized it until it had arrived.

Looks fantastic. Great timing too as I was just about to purchase the Prepare to Die Edition anyway from overseas.

My one question is how do they offer international shipping so cheaply though? I'm pretty sure I only paid $2.

That's good, wonder why someone was complaining it was G1 then... maybe they saw that photo that someone posted above? I just assumed they'd received it :) xx

Looks great, glad I bought two, hehe.

I have a question though, since I won't receive mine in quite a while. Was it sealed/shrink-wrapped?

It looks really good, got a nice glow to it :D And yeah it was sealed, however it was packaged in a really flimsy, (lightly) bubble-padded envelope. I got lucky but it would be really easily dented/damaged if it was mishandled!

Cello sealed, with tear strip (the best kind :whew:)

Glad it's sealed, thanks for the info.

Well, I sure hope Zavvi used cardboard as they usually do with int'l shipping, hopefully I will receive mine without any issues.

If they still have stock by next month I'm tempted to get an extra one, just in case.

So excited for this now :yahoo:

So does a G1 exist or not?

I took that photo when nipperkipper posted it and measured the ratio of the sides to try and verify

It was most certainly closer to G1 in that picture

I'm keeping mine sealed. I've played Dark Souls to death so there's not much point opening it.

Only bought it for the steelbook. :thumb:

Got mine in today all the way to Canada.

Took some pics of the packaging and stuff for any international members who are curious. Everything is undamaged.

Keeping it sealed for now though.

Feel free to use my name and address to send me presents.

So disappointing. I received mine today. I ordered two in fear of the steelbook getting damaged.

Then i saw the custom form on the box, the price stated was for only 1 unit. But my credit card was charged for 2 units. Even my Zavvi account order history says 2 units! Worse, the one i received the game slipcase was torn!!

So unlucky - seeing Storm's received his in good condition. I do hope i will get the 2nd unit I was charged for... or at least get a refund. (already contacted them)

What's your experience buying from Zavvi? (this is my first time buying from them you see)

Zavvi will replace or refund you if the item goes missing, but you have to wait something like 20 days before they will do anything.

3-5 days I think, although I know Zavvi can sometimes be a bit hit or miss with their delivery.

I think give it up to a week, i believe the packages pass through Gatwick Airport, since there based in one of the channel islands i think.

I'm in Singapore and I received it today. 1 week! Zavvi seems to have upped their delivery standards.

Now let's see if they keep it up cos I just ordered the arkham city CE for 24 gbp.

Ah ok so Zavvi ships them individually even internationally

That's interesting to say the least

Zaku was yours packaged like brandons?

Nice white box and foam protector?

Yeah, both were white box with foam. Both of them also seem to be flawless, so I guess this works well for shipping steels. I knew that they sent each item individually (they do in most cases) I just though it was quite odd that they didn't arrive with each other.

Good to hear

That's a perfectly fine way to ship a steel and honestly might be better than Amazon although it's been a while since I got a steel from any Amazon site

Wow the world hates my steelbook collecting

Received one of the Dark Souls I ordered and guess what?

Swifty gets a jiffy bag/bubble mailer :rant:

I don't understand why sigh

Already sent a complaint to Zavvi

It appears to be ok but without opening I don't know for sure

Want to see what happens with the other one I ordered first

To be honest mine look ok

Slipcase on one is a tad dented

I did open one and it had a small dent on it :(

Might open the other one

i still havent received mine :/

Strange I thought Europe would've gotten them first

Me either but that's quite normal if you order something from zavvi in Germany.
Don't know why but customs did investigate all of my packages from Zavvi and always got a custom free sticker. I think it's because The Hut Group are based in the Channel Island. Still quite odd.

good to hear im not the only one :), i ordered quite alot at zavvi, but was wondering why U.S. already got their copies and we are still waiting. But you are prolly right coz of customs .

That's why I open my steels and remove slipcovers. You never know if the steel is damaged with the slipcover on.

You can feel for big dents through the slipcovers tho. It's good when buying them off the shelf. You should see me when I buy steelbooks from the shop. They take out a whole stack of them and let me inspect/feel til I choose the one I want. :1:

Arrived in perfect condition in a white box with some foam type packaging (same as the pics previously posted).

EDIT: Other one turned up today, another perfect copy in same type of packaging. :v:
