[procion]

I wanna pre order this whilst it's still fresh. Where can I get it (ie Amazon/UK/FR/DE/CA if any)?:2cool:

[CollectorFanatic]

Its not pre orderable at gamestop...yet. where can I pre order this?!

[procion]

Not yet it isn't, but it is at EB Canada (I went thru the preorder link at saintsrow.com then made a search of the game title and edition).

[Saifears]

Its shown on US Amazon and you can sign up to be notified when it becomes available: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E4QOEFS

[CollectorFanatic]

Yea I signed up to be notified

[vhal_x]

I advise you to just keep checking back though as I always sign up to be notified for stuff, and I've never actually been notified! xx

[ingmar1988]

is this CE USA only?

[vhal_x]

Seems like it, since the announcement was in $, plus 5000 is very low for it to be worldwide xx

[procion]

USA seems to get the better versions of games, like the very limited Post Pandemic Edition of The Last of Us for example, tho there are some examples to that rule such as the Uncharted 3 Wooden Chest that SCEE had. Yet we are not even getting the Wub Wub edition of SR4 here in AU/NZ. I've had to pre-order mine from Germany. Thank the gods any NZ version of the game will not be tempered by AU's censorship board's banning of the game(the board is meeting on the 29th to look at a new watered down version for the AU market. WE are not getting that here in NZ. I'd say we will get the region 2 UK BD version (on PS3)).

Btw I'm off topic here but if anyone is looking for AU/NZ versions of new games PM me. I am happy to help AT NO PROFIT TO MYSELF. I'm not interested in making money out of folk. I have already helped one english fellow and I will help anyone whom needs it, it's what I'm here for. Just PM me and I will try my best for you. Cheers...

[Texas Fire]

Crosses fingers GameStop picks this up soon...

Please be kind and save one for me. I'm being serious here. I just only want one. Of course, i pre-order the Wub Wub Edition and really like to upgrade to this Edition at my local Gamestop. Thank You!

[BallsOfSteel]

Hello all, I have just joined this forum and I was planning on pre-ordering the Super Dangerous Wub Wub edition, but I want to get this edition now as I think it looks awesome

I really hope that this won't be exclusive to the US, as I want this version very badly.
I'm guessing no one knows when it will be available to purchase either.
I will just have to wait patiently for the answers...

[SwiftDeath]

This will almost certainly be limited to the US only as the number is far too low to warrant mulitple countries imo

That being said whether it is US Gamestop or US Amazon you can order it direct from their websites as they both ship international

I hope the cost for shipping won't be too high, don't really want to spend an absolute fortune. Really looking forward to the game itself though, so I hope it's region free for the Xbox.

A couple of things

- If it is indeed only sold in the US then getting it direct from retail is going to offer the cheapest shipping possible as retail gets discounted shipping so it would be a third or fourth the price of shipping if you had to get it from the secondary market

- It will most likely be region free as most multi-platform games are but depends more on the publisher I think. Was Dead Island Riptide region-free?

[Littlefeet1]

Who are you asking for them to reserve one for you?
i'm a no-body. Does that answer your question?

i asked because seeing it is limited to 5000. This is a great opportunity for scalpers to charge an arm or a leg for one copy. Sure they can do whatever they feel like buying with their money for x amount. But since this is only limited to 5000. Let's be polite/considerate and give those who wanted a copy a chance to own one.

It is not the end of the world if i won't have one. I'm not going to cry about it. I would prefer that 5000 copies goes to the grateful gamers and fans than to some scalpers.

I don't think they were saying it like "Who are you, asking someone to hold one for you?" They were saying it like "Who are you asking?" (ie, was it them, was it just a general invite for someone to assist you, etc) xx

i dont think you will as long as you keep an eye on it, silver lining if you do expect standard wub wub to drop in price sooner rather than later as sales will go to other one

Deep Silver's Twitted just confirmed this edition to be North American only

Also states it should be listed at most major retailers

Non-North American members should watch US gamestop like a hawk then :)

[LyricalOne]

Trust me, the number of times that we at the US get a :quote:better:quote: edition that somewhere in EU are so little, that I could count them in my hand.

I'm glad we hopefully get this..and hopefully it comes to GS soon.

I actually want that rotating light up stand..it looks pretty cool.

It's weird but I'm starting to feel like the US is getting more and more "better" editions

Almost like the latest market research says highest profitability on CE's involve a 5000 super limited edition to build hype/demand

I mean DS3 Dev-Team Edition, TLoU PPE, and now SR4 EZGoGE

Yeah SR4 EZGoGE it's now totally a thing :P

Thanks. If gamestop gets preorders for it ill just pre order from them and then cancel my amazon order. Question. Is it 5000 for xbox and 5000 for ps3 or is it 5000 for all systems?

Hmm this article states http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2422380,00.asp

Adding to the allure of the collector's edition, only 5,000 of the "Game of the Generation" bundles will be produced.

So seems like 5000 overall but I wouldn't call that 100% guaranteed

Bah, gamestop better get it soon seeing as amazon are being gits :(

[CollectorFanatic]

I would just go to amazon because these are going to sell out probably with in the next few days

[Twisted]

does 5000 mean 5000 total?..or 5000 for USA 360 and 5000 for USA PS3 and then additional 5000 a piece for CANADA 360 and CANADA PS3?..It could really be 20000 all together, or maybe 10,000 all together..are we gonna really believe it is just 2,500 PS3 Units and just 2,500 360 units?..when this game will sell millions?..this is a AAA title which is almost as popular as GTA5...

[mistwalker]

This will likely show up on Gamestop.com in the US at some point, but it's probably too close to release for them to open pre-orders in their stores. The fact that Deep Silver waited less than a month before the release date, and they don't even have an agreement in place with Gamestop should be a pretty strong indicator of how limited this will be. Otherwise, they would have announced it months ago in order to maximize pre-orders across all retailers that wanted to carry it.

[Texas Fire]

I would just go to amazon because these are going to sell out probably with in the next few daysAs much as I would have rather gone w/GamesStop, I ended doing Amazon for them...I prefer GS just because I'm usually in the store early, and usually the manager let's me pick my exact copy...Amazon shipping usually yields dented boxed material, etc (Sometimes)...
Oh well, I guess it had to be done...

I just called my local GameStop (US) they said it's not anywhere in their computer system so who knows if they're even going to get any.

[Dexter_Lecter]

I ordered mine yesterday off Amazon, and normally I'd open it and display it on my shelf. But with how limited this one seems to be I might consider selling it for a nice profit, like I did with my Crysis 2 Nano Edition and Dead Space Ultra Limited Edition.

But that sweet display case is so tempting.....

tact
a keen sense of what to do or say in order to maintain good relations with others or avoid offense

http://www.technobuffalo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/The-more-you-know.png

at the end of the day what you do with what you own is your business but tact is always advisable in light of the situation, keep it, sell it or build a fort with it its up to you, but hopes of selling it on ce are lessened when one proclaims resale for a profit 10 minutes after ordering

remember.....tact

[Dexter_Lecter]

I collect these editions because I love collecting them and have been for years.

But if someone is willing to give me a huge increase over what I paid for it, I don't understand how someone could demonize me for selling. It's not the same as food. It's a optional add on for a game. First world problems.

i said what someone does is up to them and makes no difference to me, twas merely making an observation on the use of tact and when is appropriate to say things

It's not a sure thing, I've had 4 orders that Amazon couldn't fulfil due to overselling although seeing how quick this sold out it looks quite a safe bet that they had the allocation numbers correct

Deep Silver are in talks atm with Gamestop about putting it on their site or so they tweeted me this morning

Yea but its already sold out...unless theyre going to make another 5000. And to be honest that would piss me off more than anything

Sold out in Amazon only. I believe each store have a certain allocated stock and Amazon already exhausted their allocation as the only store in US that have it lol.

Still waiting desperately for gamestop.

[Torrance]

99,98€ in my Gamestop :)

[Resseh]

booo. thought it was on their website :(

[Gameswag]

That's weird they would let GameStop stores do preorders on it. I know they are really good about getting preorder skus in to their computers the day after something gets announced, but have they got to that point where they can remove a sku real time and take it out the second their allocation has been filled?

I just checked the US website and it isn't there. My other question is if GS is doing preorders, I wonder what Amazon's allocation yesterday was. Because they sold out with the quickness.

ok thx man, we r still waiting ;-P

[procion]

Actually given the huge response to this CE I'm going to take the bull by the horns and tweet Deep Silver asking them if they can think about having more EZGotG editions made, if it's not too late. Another 5,000 should keep all the addicted collectors like us sated, well, those of us whom are happy with one copy each anyways, lol.
If you agree with me and think lending your voice can help, I encourage you to tweet DS as well. One demanding voice speaks with power: five thousand demanding voices speaks with the Bohemian Rhapsody... lol

[Resseh]

whilst i would love that too - i think we will be in a minority. I imagine a lot of people buy collectors editions for the rarity as opposed to the content

[vhal_x]

I'd rather have it be rarer, since all the contents (minus the case thing) are in the other CE anyway, so I'd rather have this one be super rare, instead of over-produced like the other one xx

Can't guarantee I'd feel the same if I hadn't

That being said I do hate it when companies go back on their word about how limited something is

The contents look like crap, cheap and plasticky. Is it just me? But I don't see any wow factor at all :lmao:

Statue is ok but nothing special

I'm wondering if they will make a proper CE out of it or will it just be the wub wub edition with a separate box for the display case?

Actually given the huge response to this CE I'm going to take the bull by the horns and tweet Deep Silver asking them if they can think about having more EZGotG editions made, if it's not too late. Another 5,000 should keep all the addicted collectors like us sated, well, those of us whom are happy with one copy each anyways, lol.
If you agree with me and think lending your voice can help, I encourage you to tweet DS as well. One demanding voice speaks with power: five thousand demanding voices speaks with the Bohemian Rhapsody... lolMore than 5K would be horrible. I feel for people not getting one, but I would hate this becoming over saturated in the market. It would kill the rarity...(IMO)
On that note though, just sent a message to EB Games CA and they still have some for preorder...Maybe a Canadian counterpart can help someone here in getting one...

most people will just leave it sealed to preserve the value... in your imagination the content can be as high quality as you want it to be :popcorn:

so a fine china wub wub gun as long as i keep it sealed

[CollectorFanatic]

Im with keeping it at 5000 only. I feel bad for someone who didnt get one preordered but theres soo many collectors editions that have over saturated the market. I spend my hard earned money on a $150 CE and its 100 cheaper 6 months later because they made so many of them. We need more CEs that are actually "limited".

[amb6883]

It is back in stock at Amazon.

[twistedsymphony]

It is back in stock at Amazon.

ORDERED ! :clap:

[Cybersick]

no chance for me to order it, live in germany

Saints Row IV - Game of the Generation Edition cannot be shipped to the selected address.

Hmm wonder what the restocking means :think:

Doubt they'd up the stock number but who knows?

Hmm Deep silver seem to be saying 1 of 5000 and so on

Seems fairly specific

I'm thinking this one wont be available in physical stores period... EB Canada says it's online only. I'd rather order through Amazon.com than GameStop.com anyway... though I suppose GS might ship internationally so that's good for you guys who amazon wont ship to.

Yeah I definitely concur

Online only but I am posting it for the non-north American members who might be after one

Gamestop US ship international so best bet

[comaamen86]

i am surprised how excited everyone is getting for this game/edition, and personally thought 5000 is quite high for this franchise

what i really would like to know is there a steel in there?

pic looks like a steel no written acknowledgement though

[vhal_x]

I don't think it is a steelbook, as they'd write it if it was, since that would be a huge selling point xx

[SwiftDeath]

I concur with vhal

Don't think there's a steelbook

There might might be a special paper insert for it but think it's likely just a copy of the commander in chief edition which has a special paper insert anyways

I'll get more excited for it when I get someone can confirm if it is 5000 total or 5000 for each system. Nobody seems to know :shrug:

10,000 of these things is not rare at all and it is not the most collectible franchise.

[Texas Fire]

so a fine china wub wub gun as long as i keep it sealedYes! Sealed=good deal! Opened=Plastic paper weight!Im with keeping it at 5000 only.

ps3 was never made available yet? or has it been sold out that quick? oh man...

[CollectorFanatic]

Ps3 sold out with the quickness because I got one preordered as soon as they went up and they sold out like 4 hrs later

[rapister]

oh gee.... thanks for the information CollectorFanatic
does anyone happen to have an extra one for me? LOL

i suppose you could buy the Xbox360 version for the collectibles, and the PS3 Commander in Chief edition, if you own a PS3 and not the Xbox360.....

[SwiftDeath]

Still curious to know if there is special packaging for this CE or if it will just be a seperate box for the display case and a standard wub wub edition

[rapister]

my guess is a really huge box with a slipcover, printed with either ps3/xbox360 bar on the top......... ?

[CollectorFanatic]

Im getting excited about this. I might just keep it sealed. Which would be a first for any of my CEs. I love unboxing them

[procion]

Yeah I definitely concur

Gamestop US ship international so best bet

thank you m8. I need to know this info asap so I can get my order in. amazon say they will only ship to APO boxes outside the US so I'm relying on gamestop here(and you guys helpfully letting us know which I will do too mutually if I hear first too) :)

[Resseh]

Xbox version still available on amazon. I wish GS would hurry up :(

[procion]

We're like a bunch of junkies waiting for our CE hit lol. I happened to ask alot of people that I know in PS Home that buy stuff from there on every update day, on the dot, every week if they are addicted to anything be it sex, coffee, drugs, alcohol, sport, etc etc. ALL of them answered yes to one or more of these things. Then I asked a few that don't buy the clothes and wear basically the free stuff or even the noobwear and interestingly these ones said they don't have any addiction at all.
Hence I came to the conclusion that collecters are, more or less, addicts... Slurp slurp, schtik, schtick, lick, lick, count, count, arrange, arrange.
But saying that, there are always exceptions, many exceptions, to any rule, and we all count ourselves out of the equation...

Sooo, back to the waitwaitwaiting

[CollectorFanatic]

5000 total....ever! That just made me soo incredibly happy.

[Texas Fire]

5000 total....ever! That just made me soo incredibly happy.So I'm curious, the 1 of 5000 will only be on either system then?

TF

[battousai]

Or it could be 1 of 2500 per system

[Texas Fire]

Or it could be 1 of 2500 per system

Either way that's not a bad deal...

[CollectorFanatic]

This collectors edition in my opinion is going to be in top 10s of rare collector editions

[vhal_x]

No, I don't think it'll make the top 10 of rarities. Maybe it would be quite close to the top 10 of numbered editions, with the lowest amounts at the top, but there are quite a lot of non-numbered editions that are fairly rare (either due to small print runs, or due to over time, them becoming less and less commonly seen on eBay, etc) xx

I don't know v aren't there a lot of weird numbered ones for smaller games

Like all the Emily The Strange CE's that are like 200 or so?

Probably near the top ten rarest numbered Collector Editions of AAA games :spiteful:

I'm so nitpicky :rotf:

[vhal_x]

Yeah, that's what I mean :P Although tbh, not many AAA games get a numbered release, do they? I mean, Dead Space 3 had the Dev Team Edition KoA had the Signature Edition (and the other ones), but I can't think of many other recent big titles having a numbered CE (other than the shitty way of numbering like Halo 4, etc. Shouldn't count unless there's a /???? at the end, or at least have us know how many there is total (and not have it be like 500,000 :rotf:)) xx

Yeah I know and you're right about the bigger game releases for sure

There weren't many big releases recently that were numbered

And Halo 4's was terrible

Why did they even bother numbering it?

[vhal_x]

Yeah, numbering like that is completely pointless, but there have been far too many that use that shitty way:

- Borderlands 2 Loot Chest (granted the US got it a bit better by having /????, but still massive amounts).
- Halo 3 Legendary Edition.
- Halo 4 LE.
- Call of Duty MW2 PE.
- Duke Nukem Balls of Steel.

:suicide: xx

[Madigan]

I don't see the problem on numbering editions with 50.000+ units, that way we know the edition is not rare and we can wait for a price drop.

[vhal_x]

Yeah, but at least number it out of the total, instead of just a glorified barcode :rotf: xx

[Texas Fire]

I don't see the problem on numbering editions with 50.000+ units, that way we know the edition is not rare and we can wait for a price drop.Defeats on the collector aspect of it to me...Nothing worse than getting something you think is rare and a year later the damn thing is still on the shelf or in some half price bin...?No bueno!

TF

[CollectorFanatic]

Im right there with ya Texas Fire....thats why im excited about this one. Itll still hold its value. Rather than seeing one at a gamestop a year later for 20 dollars

[Twisted]

i think the glass display piece will come in a separate box..LOL...probably a generic plain white box alongside the separately packaged wub wub edition.

[CollectorFanatic]

Well the fact that it has its own name completely different from the wub wub edition makes me assume itll be in one big package

[rapister]

i think the glass display piece will come in a separate box..LOL...probably a generic plain white box alongside the separately packaged wub wub edition.

you are probably right................ !


but seriously speaking, even if one doesn't get the game of the generation ed, the wub wub edition is a good CE on its own already!

Sorry!
There was an error processing your order. We apologize for the inconvenience; please check back later.

Omg. Yay. Just preordered - not sure whether to cancel my uk CE

[Evilhawk]

Tempted but im leaving on a two weeks vacation on launch day, so if they ship by UPS it will get returned to the US

Why did they blacklist you?

Probably because I failed the checkout too many times I got blacklisted for fraud =.=.

Checked online and they seems to do it all the time.

I tried purchasing with my saved details that I used just few months back for post pandemic and they rejected my billing address which never changed. Tried a few times and I change to my AMEX and failed then blocked me

[CollectorFanatic]

How do you get black listed

Yeah, I'm pretty sure each store has a few available for them to pre-order and then cut off.

He did mention that the WUBWUB was gone from their system though..

Just a heads up on it being one package or separate packages I.e., the rotating display possibly coming in a different box or so...

My problem with that is there are roughly 4400 Gamestop stores in the US

So if all stores are even allotted one that would leave 600 for online gamestop and eb games canada and Amazon which is not possible

Hence there must be an storewide allotment

[LyricalOne]

It says online only..and some info doesn't match in store pre-orders..

Oh no, it showed up.

Game of Generation..etc. It counts as a special editon.

The only issue is that the price they told me is 119.99. I mean if I can get it for that price, great! I just want to make sure if the same edition.

Ah ok. Pheww.

That makes me feel better. No one there really knew much about it. I called a couple stores too trying to verify.
The knew about the WubWub because of me lol. So now they were all like HUH another edition?

Well hopefully it's just cheaper then :D (or a pricing error they might honor lol)

Thanks bud

[stavie33]

Gamestop the store gave me some REALLY weird information. Online I bought the Game of the Generation Edition, which comes with everything in the super wub wub edition as well.

HOWEVER I called the store to see if I could pre order more copies there and they said they have two editions, the game of the generation edition which is $120, comes with the display case but NO dubstep gun, and the wub wub edition for $130 which DOES come with the dubstep gun but no display case. Wat? Confused

Also for the online order, I tried to order 3 of them, but it only let me order 1. Even on different accounts, everytime I'm trying to order it it says an error occured sorry try back later. Anyone else having this problem?

[vhal_x]

It is probably limited to one per person (it may go by IP address) to avoid scumbags ordering 10+ to flog on eBay for double the price xx

[stavie33]

After talking to the store more, the two editions in the store are different from the $130 limited to 5000 version that's online. That's also why it says 'online only' and also why it's called 'emperor zinyak's game of the generation edition'. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOUR BUYING. This or something REALLY wrong is in the system, but I was on the phone comparing things for quite a while

Also unless I'm crazy Amazon has it back up for $130 so I just bought 2 more there. I generally like 3 copies, one to sell, one to play, one to collect

[Cybersick]

always 129,99$

Yeah Online they have it for 129.99

In-store is 119.99

Lol probably a glitch.

Are you getting a wubwub and a GoG bud?

I actually cancelled my WubWub and decided to pre-order 1 GoG for each system.

Since the WubWub won't be limited, I hope I can pick one up sometime in the future cheaper lol

They must have updated the online price as it was 119 when I ordered earlier. The stores will probably follow suit when they realise.

Haha, you don't wanna' know. Kind of got carried away like Dead Island Riptide style with this CE...*sigh*

TF
Ahaha oh man, you were my hero with that.
Well good luck to you. I'm keeping my Amazon pre-order just in case..

They must have updated the online price as it was 119 when I ordered earlier. The stores will probably follow suit when they realise.
You are making me feel better!
Well I wonder if they'll actually honor the price then? :scratch:

After talking to the store more, the two editions in the store are different from the $130 limited to 5000 version that's online. That's also why it says 'online only' and also why it's called 'emperor zinyak's game of the generation edition'. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOUR BUYING. This or something REALLY wrong is in the system, but I was on the phone comparing things for quite a while

Also unless I'm crazy Amazon has it back up for $130 so I just bought 2 more there. I generally like 3 copies, one to sell, one to play, one to collect
I have a feeling that you might be wrong (or at least I hope so)
From what I can tell, they told me the WubWub is 99.99 and the GoG is 119.99.
They didn't have any specifics as to what the GoG came with.

My receipt clearly says Game of Generation -so unless that is another edition coming out, I think we might be safe.

This is starting to get odd :scratch:

Oh when isn't it odd at gamestop? lol

[LyricalOne]

You're probably 100% spot on. I just don't want some GameStop employee messing something up for anyone and looking at someone's $119 reservation and moving to say the Wub Wub instead or something...
I want whoever wants this edition to land one come launch day...

TF

Yeah this basically.

$10 isn't worth no getting one and paying double on ebay.

[Texas Fire]

Yeah this basically.

$10 isn't worth no getting one and paying double on ebay.Yep! The preorders on eBay already are selling for $250-ish...*sigh*

Any Australians having errors trying to preorder from gamestop? First it isn't accepting my card and now its saying there is an error processing my order!

[stavie33]

I had the same problem as you did with gamestop.com so I just ordered online at amazon, they have some left it seems

[I_BE_WILL]

I had the same issue a few days ago ordering something else, went to Com bank who say it was not from their end, but I tried everything including using another MasterCard and still no luck.

[SwiftDeath]

Gamestop US has the most archaic Credit Card authorization system for online international customers I have ever seen

I feel a little sorry anytime a very limited CE comes up only on Gamestop US

Hopefully if Amazon still has stock they will open up international pre-orders

[Tubigdomo]

The orders for the GoG edition at gamestop are live for a couple of hours now and I couldn't order it.

Gamestop is the only place, as far as I know, where I can get decent shipping to Australia. Customer support said they flagged my account because I tried my debit card multiple times in the system (because an error says my card is not recognised by my financial institution) and they won't left a finger till the system reinstates my account in 48 hours.

I even went as a guest and it still says my debit mastercard is not recognised.

It's like the game is on a fishing line and I'm the little fish that can't catch it.

And amazon no longer has the PS3 version in stock.

I just want to punch a punching bag right now.

Not sure this will make you feel better or worse but I tried helping someone get one shipped to Australia earlier and it wasn't having it

Shipping was quoted at 40 USD

Which is almost certainly cheaper than an individual could get it shipped for but still kind of high

Same here, wouldn't let me order one either. Gamestop don't seem to like the land down under

That is how much gamestop is charging for international shipping

[LyricalOne]

I almost got through trying to help an Int. member here..but in the end it won't let me check out either.
Even though my billing address is in the US.

This is sad.

[I_BE_WILL]

Which isn't too bad considering that to order the Dubstep would be 99 plus 40 for shipping, where as the same here in Australia is 149 plus 8-12 shipping. I just wish that they'd announce the Batman grapnel gun here so I won't have to pay so much for shipping.

[Cybersick]

has anyone a gamestop gift card (160 $) ?

[KnightOfTruth]

Only unique thing with the Wub Wub edition would be the packaging from what I can tell

Yeah, the New Emperor Z edition comes with everything + the Light up rotating display case and numbered plaque and A top shelf protective pouch for the case. Gamestop is also only requiring a $5 deposit (as opposed to the normal $25), so its good to jump on it while we can I suppose (though I think I'll pass as I'm not a SR fan personally)

Wait really?
only $5 down for the GoG ed?

I already had 25 down on the WubWub so I moved it all over to that assuming 25 is what they required..
Wow. if it is only 5, then even better!

Yessir, at least as of today (yesterday) the SKU should pull a $5 deposit required. Not sure how long that'll last, but can't go wrong with $5 ;)
Just make sure you specify the "Emperor Z" version as I think there may be two different ones listed.

[LyricalOne]

haha well seeing as a few people here have had trouble with Gamestop.com and their pre-orders, I might run there tomorrow before work if I have time and lock in about 2 more pre-orders to help some people out just in case.

Thanks for the heads up

[procion]

I just got my pre orderin with gamestop at US $169 to come to NZ inc shipping gulp, Amazon only charged $20 for Skyrim CE shipping so it is quite expensive, but i'm happy i finally procurred a copy of this ce :) http://www.gamestop.com/browse?nav=16k-Saint+s+Row+IV+Emperor+Zinyak+s+Game+of+the+Genera tion+Edition

[Chargersfan57]

I had ordered a 360 copy from Amazon since the PS3 version was already sold out and I wanted to make sure I got 1 of the 5000. But just now I was able to secure a PS3 copy (the version I REALLY wanted) with Gamestop, so I'm going to cancel my 360 copy from Amazon.

I'm SO happy.

Then, if most of us whom have been waiting around this forum this last 7-odd days, have gotten in on time tonight, then all of us will be happy cos I'm not very happy when someone whom had their heads-up misses out. but hey, let's hope when our vaunted CEs finally arrive of this edition, that the promo pic we have had stock of this last week does justice to our expectations when we finally open the box on delivery day and have set up our stand. :notworthy:

[ingmar1988]

hm i have to skip on this....to expensive when considering customs cost...

[dahein]

finally preordered for ps3 thanks :D

[rapister]

anyone else got problem placing order? I thought they blocked my IP but i tried using another IP and still can not continue.

Meh just confirmed online they black listed me.


yup... me...... i have tried different addresses, US and otherwise, tried different credit cards from different banks....no luck.

[KnightOfTruth]

yup... me...... i have tried different addresses, US and otherwise, tried different credit cards from different banks....no luck.

I'm definitely willing to procure one for somebody if they want. Not sure on shipping charges, but just let me know via PM if you're interested.

[LyricalOne]

I'm going to try and ask about the $5, if you I'll do a group buy (just keep in mind shipping will probably be around $40 USD if not maybe more)

Send me a pm if you do need one as then I know how many to reserve and what system, for anyone having issues pre-ordering one.

[SwiftDeath]

Gamestop ships this edition for 40 USD and are a worldwide retailer with 4400 shops in the US and probably dozens of warehouses for online

Chances are this will be closer to 60 USD for an individual to ship FYI

Shipping to the UK was $20 but like Swifty said big retailers get much better deals

[SwiftDeath]

Odd shipping was quoted at 40 USD to Australia when I tried to help out an Australian member before

Realize it should be more but double is very suspicious

Still it will likely be more than 40 USD from an individual just my opinion

[Texas Fire]

Is there a difference between this (http://www.gamestop.com/ps3/games/saints-row-iv-emperor-zinyaks-game-of-the-generation-edition/111075) & this (http://www.gamestop.com/ps3/games/saints-row-iv-game-of-the-generation-edition/111163)?
Or is it GameStop being difficult?

TF

[CollectorFanatic]

No difference. Gamestop just being dumb

[Texas Fire]

Is this the actual sized gun coming in the editions of sort? If so, that's going to be one hell of a box!

TF

[vhal_x]

No, the gun in the editions is like WAY smaller. As in, you probably couldn't hold it in two hands comfortably unless you have tiny hands like me :haha: It's a small scale replica, not a full size one xx

[CollectorFanatic]

Theres actually a video on youtube of them doing an unboxing of a wubwub edition from E3. Look it up

Not at all.

Basically I think GS got a quota for both online and physical retailers.
So they made 2 separate SKU #s, and that's why one is "online only" and the other is in store pre-orders

[rapister]

one of them gives you bonus dlc ...

[Texas Fire]

one of them gives you bonus dlc ...I'm hoping that once they arrive launch day, they are all the same...

TF

[Resseh]

will i be able to use the US dlc on an eu xbox?

[LyricalOne]

Alright, so I managed to get a few pre-orders in for some members here; I will start an official group buy soon, but since I'm at work, I'm not sure how fast that'll be.

For anyone interested, do let me know before 5pm EST as I doubt I'll be able to pre-order them after today.

It's sold out at both Amazon and GS now.

I checked with a gamestop connection and apparently Corporate send an email this morning informing all GS locations to stop all pre-orders of the game.
It stated online only from then on, but as you guys can see, online was also taken down.
So yep, that's it, the plug has been pulled.

TF

[ShadownetX]

I have an Amazon one preorder but then the gamestop one came up so I preorder there as well. Since I work at GameStop I'll get an employee discount.

Does anyone want my PS3 Amazon one? If you pay for shipping and the retail cost I'm happy to ship it to a friend in need. I haven't cancel that order yet.

[LyricalOne]

Yeah, no extras though, just the ones that people messaged me about.

I thought about buying an extra one or two for profit but meh.

[CollectorFanatic]

Theres some dick selling 10 of them on ebay. What an asshole

One particular dude? Where's he located?

TF

I think I know who you might be referring to.
His id has Sports in it right?

He/she usually sells limited editions en mass from what I've seen.

Like with the Dead Island Zombie Bait ed. lol

[CollectorFanatic]

Idk but each item is from the same dude

[Texas Fire]

Haha, I just found one right here in San Antonio selling like 8 of them...

That's who I assumed they were referring to as well. That's a lot of money to invest to make maybe $100.00 to $200.00. Though I assume they get a better deal on fees than me.

[LyricalOne]

Yeah, definitely on the fees.
Also, they probably might get a better deal on both pricing (maybe) and shipping for sure, since a lot of the CE he/she sells are EU exclusives.

[CollectorFanatic]

Well see when they actually come out how much the price is going to jump

[mistwalker]

That same guy has/had about 40 of the Borderlands 2 Diamond chests.

[CollectorFanatic]

What a scumbag. The diamond edition wasnt even worth the money. It was garbage and I hope he never sells them and loses money

[LyricalOne]

What a scumbag. The diamond edition wasnt even worth the money. It was garbage and I hope he never sells them and loses money

I'm thinking of buying one, as soon as I see them for $50 lol

I know one huge reason they sold out is people buying a lot, like that guy having bought 40 lol.

[SwiftDeath]

I'm sorry Aussies but this is awesome

Official email sent from eb games NZ :)

Feel sorry for Australians albeit it's not much that was taken out anyways
