I don't care if this collectors edition comes with a wet nappy. I'm sold. Dark Souls was one of the best games ever made imo. Can't wait for this to come out.

[IAmTheLoneWanderer]

oh hell yes!

[Mike1888]

Looks fantastic. Must buy and hopefully the "metal case" is a steelbook.

[MadMan5]

Per-order all ready up on Germany Amazon would like to see this on Amazon US as $170 AUD not happy.

They're up on Amazon US now! They don't have a separate listing, click on the standard edition and the option to select Collectors or Black Armour is there. :)

Mine neither...but the listing states that the item is available for shipping to select countries outside the U.S.

We just have to wait until they fix this, had this problem a few times now and in the end I was always able to order it somehow :)

It's still ?62 on amazon, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dark-Souls-Collector-Edition-PS3/dp/B00F96ELSM/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1379956482&sr=8-13&keywords=dark+souls+2

[bravoguy]

^^ Amazon does not ships to my country :(

[vhal_x]

GAME might cancel your order closer to release, as I imagine it'll be heavier than their limit xx

[bravoguy]

^^ I dont think so because if they notplan any international shipping they mention same at the time of pre-order. I have no past complaints from game.co.uk

[Dreamcazman]

I think Vhal might be right, just be careful. I'd have a backup plan in case they do cancel it.

As for Amazon, I came up with a great idea. I've noticed Amazon tend to have a window of opportunity when having games available to preorder, to UK residents only. After this unknown time has passed, they'll be available to anyone world wide.

What I did was when I made the order, I added a UK address (I used a family friend) but with my payment details (in Australia), get the order done and then before release date, change the address on your order to your own. By then international customers should be able to purchase and you have already secured a copy (at a great price I might add) and won't miss out. :banana:

Now I'm not 100% certain if this will work, but it's worth a shot! :thumb:

They always cancel if the item is heavier than 1KG. It happened to me before with FF13-2 Crystal Edition. So sad.

That should work :) it's what I do with Amazon US ;) xx

Surprisingly and very intresting that I have ordered FFXIII-2 Crystal Edition from game.co.uk and they delivered the same to me without a problem :D

[Dreamcazman]

Just letting everyone know that Amazon US seems to have fixed the glitch and international address are being accepted. :)

Still not quite as cheap as Amazon UK (~$15 difference), it might still be worth to get a preorder in at the US shop, you can always cancel it.

Have you got any games from UK Amazon as they block me every time here in Australia.

I get heaps of games from the UK site too.

Like I mentioned earlier in this thread, it seems the UK site has a certain 'window of opportunity' and only residents from the UK can purchase. Once this time passes, international orders are allowed. This only seems apparent for the collector type editions. Standard editions for most games I've never really had any problems ordering.

I might be way off with my assumptions, but this has happened in the past for me with GTAV CE & Batman Arkham Origins CE. I couldn't order them for ages and then I tried again for the hell of it and the order went through. :shrug:
