In addition to the standard and digital versions of the game, NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. will also be releasing an individually numbered collector’s edition for North America. The collector’s edition was originally limited to 15,000 units, but has since been raised to 18,000 units to accommodate the overwhelming existing pre-order demand by fans. The contents of the TALES OF SYMPHONIA CHRONICLES Collector’s Edition include the following items:

I'm definitely rethinking my Euro pre-order too. Not too sure about the soundtrack though. It says for the Euro CE, that it gets a 2 disk MP3 soundtrack. You can fit more MP3 files on a CD than you can fit tracks on an audio CD, so it all depends. On that note though, the original ToS OST was 4 disks, so does the US CE only contain the original OST or tracks for both games? I assume a lot of the tracks would be recycled across games though. 0.o

Not sure. We still got had with the extra book and steelie though. Namco hates Europen's? :(

I would say 50-60 from ToS and 50-60 from ToS: DotNW for the soundtrack. Promo on youtube says over 90 songs, but I doubt it's all of them or it would have to be 8 disks for audio CD.

It's so annoying that never give you the full soundtrack in any Japanese CE (Western version anyway). If you want the full soundtrack, import from Japan only.

The US version of the CE looks beautiful, especailly the casing of the 4-disk soundtrack, similar to the PSone cases with multiple cds. It is mentioned to have over 100 songs. It also comes with a softcover mini artbook, but its better than not having one.

Other than the art book being a bit lackluster, everything else seems perfect!

From having a separate game case and steelbook, to the ACTUAL soundtrack, and plastic sleeve-box, and numbering on the outside..no much more can be asked.

I regret not keeping both of my pre-orders now.

I might have to buy the steelbook separate since I might want to keep this sealed..grr

Since the soundtrack is 100 songs, I'm gonna say 50 tracks from ToS and 50 tracks from ToS: DotNW. ToS gamecube soundtrack had 110 tracks.

Never buy from GAME if, you doesn't live in UK.

Shopto.net luckily seem to have some http://www.shopto.net/video-games/ps3/PS3TA09-tales-of-symphonia-chronicles-collectors-edition

Bravoguy why are u NOT using any "forwarders?",..there are many, many members who are and continue to volunteer to help....look under "group buys" or willing to export...or ask maybe "Cosmic UK"..since he has a tag under his name/thread stating something to the effect if you need assistance with a UK item, he is here to help!...for future reference remember GAME UK does NOT ship anything outside of UK over 1kg to anywhere in the world.

02-24-2014, 05:21 PM
Yeah I understand thanks for the tips I appreciate :)

Well can't go with forwarders too very easily because even PayPal also not operates in Pakistan so for execution of any very important type of PayPal payments I always ask my brother to helpout living in USA.

Being a collector with so many restrictions is not very easy :(

Symphonia is a fantastic game. I feel that Abyss and Vesperia both surpassed it in various ways--Abyss for its story, especially the character development, and Vesperia for essentially 'perfecting' this style of Tales game before they changed it and moved on with Graces--but Symphonia still holds up quite well. It was only like 3 years ago that I went and got my perfect file on the 'Cube version, so it's still fairly fresh in my mind.

And it sounds like the UK version is shit compared to ours. It's the same packaging, yeah? Do they just have like cardboard spacers in there to take the places of the missing items. I also saw it for pre-order on Zavvi for 100 pounds. If that's actually the RRP, then it is WAY more money and has a lot less content. Very lame. :/

Don't know If there's only 10.000 in EU....but no steelbook and less goodies...

And it does come not numbered...

Even is sold out almost everywhere, for me has bigger value the Gamestop numbered CE...not only for being numbered, the contents count too...

So EU this time lost the war of this CE IMO....

You have to think in the 18.000 GS exclusive one, and the other many CE of NA...They are not the same edition...

So, 18.000 Plus....amazon, and the rest of retailers...

EU CE not numbered....for sure...

aizen59
02-27-2014, 04:49 PM
There might be the steelbook missing but come on check both pictures, where do you see less goodies ?

Both have figures, novel, soundtrack.

You might get steelbook from preorder, but it happens in here too. Micromania game stores tend to give out steelbook too so yeah i don't see where its inferior version or not.

I did not get my CE yet so gotta check if its numbered or not. But 18 000 compared to 10 000, its a huge diff. Divided almost by 2. Now that number (10 000) has been stated by the official namco french site, i guess they know better than us.

Now its not like it matter that much as both version are exactly the same. As long as we enjoy the game, its all that matters.

Well, the seller is aware of how its going to end right. You cannot blame the seller for people being stupid, but you have to admit it was done on purpose. This guy is clearly not a fan. If he was, he'd keep the CE to himself. Its not even reaching his home and already selling it. Considering this alone, he knows he's going to get like a x2 on what he had to pay for it.

I mean, selling it years later because you've kept it for your own collection and you grab a x2, x3, that, i could understand. But selling something you've yet to receive is something i'll never accept and bear, even tho it's never going to stop.

I wish they would add an option like : one per address. They could get their hands on a few copies indeed, but shit like 70 CE being on auction from the same guy would never happen.

I know being upset wont change a thing, but you have to admit thats shitty to do such thing. Now, real fans either have to buy the regular edition or have to pay twice the price for the same item.

US stores should ship worldwide. Dunno why there's such a limitation and cannot ship without US territory, that's crazy. We're in 2014, tons of shipping methods and yet, we just can't get our hands on NA edition but, of course, most of the time, EU is sending to the US... Ain't that fair.

Well I'm not sure how often you browse ebay after sold-out CE's are released but this is pretty standard.
It happens quite often. For example the Borderlands 2 CE here in the US sold out so I saw one go for about $500 release day.

Not that I would do something like that, but hey that's capitalism. Plus, there are people for it, so you should be more mad at them then the sellers.

And as Zaku pointed out, you can't blame the BIN prices, because the ones that start at like $ .99 cents still go up to about 160-200.

You have to be stupid to sell it on ebay for $130.

yep, my main interest is the ps3 version mainly for the stupid G2 steelbook.
They're going for really dumb prices on ebay and amazon. :(

I got both, ps3 and Xbox...but the prob here in EU is that both came G2...

So I think a Ps3 NA one will be more valuable than an EU CE...

Felt busted when I saw the same size of the steels... :beg:

Every EU CE from Namco Bandai is horrible. Lesser content, worst packaging but higher price. Sometimes I wonder what the Namco Bandai EU people are thinking. Australia CE practically got the UK copies with PEGI rating and slapped on AU rating sticker on top. Not the first time but it is very very frustrating to get shafted AND pay outrageous price. I think we are paying the highest price for CEs in Australia.

Look at LoS2 Tomb CE. We pay $280 =.=

Now the only question I ask is how many copies of them do you have? Just one, if thats the case then I would agree. If you have multiple then technically you would be sitting looking at your completely sealed ce too if you could only get one lol.

There's 2 reasons why amazon is expecting more stock, it's damaged items which people have returned or it's the extra 3000 copies that they made when they increased the edition size as Namco said the extra 3000 copies were going to be available at release, but I have yet to see them come back up for sale anywhere. 0.o does anybody have an edition number that exceeds 15,000? 0.o
