This is the EBgames Edition Australia

[Dreamcazman]

Yep, same as the EU one.

[Grizzle61]

So is the U.S version different ( As in Base colour ) and contents of the collectors edition and nobody has heard any more about the Prestige collectors edition

[Daethos]

Apparently Prima Games just announced a CE version of Dark Souls III Guide called the Estus Flask edition, single print and with some nice collectables, dropped an pre-order myself.

“The Undead treasure these dull green flasks.” This high-quality, resin replica of the emerald Estus Flask is sure to be “an undead favorite” of any Dark Souls fan.

“The Greatsword of a knight tainted by the Dark of the Abyss.” The Wolf Knight’s Greatsword, only in this deluxe package, is a sculpted and etched metal bookmark to mark your place while using the hardcover guide.

“The Darksign is the sign of an accursed Undead.” Use the Dark Souls III Darksign Journal to take notes on the game, or use it to reflect on your accomplishments after a long day’s toil.

Premium hardcover guide. Comes with a dust jacket that features artwork from Dark Souls III.

Free Mobile-Friendly eGuide. Includes a code to access the eGuide, a web-access version of the complete guide optimized for a second-screen experience.

Awesome, thanks for that, little expensive, but a must have for me. :D

Got my pre-order in earlier today! Been waiting for this to pop up ever since Prima Games tweeted about it a few weeks ago.

To bad that is Prima not Future Press guide :(

[Dreamcazman]

Just noticed the price has dropped for the Estus Flask edition, it's now $78 instead of $130, bit more reasonable.

Might be worth it for those avoiding it due to the price. ;)

[Codreanu]

Now available on amazon.de for 103 €:

So happy the price has dropped significantly! :)

[DarkBloodSoulsBorn]

Does anyone know if there are differences in the contents of the collectors edition depending on region? Say for example the US version has a different steelbook or artwork compared to the EU version. I have sent emails off to many people but no one has been able to answer this for me.

[Codreanu]

EU version:
http://www.gamezone.de/screenshots/original/2015/12/DarkSouls3_Collector_Edition-pc-games.jpgComes with:
- bonefire steelbook
- A4 trilogy artbook
- three iron-on patches
- soundtrack
- cloth map
- red knight statue

US version:
http://blogs-images.forbes.com/erikkain/files/2015/12/DSIII_CE_BeautyShot_EN-1200x675.jpgComes with:
- unkindled knight steelbook
- A5 Dark Souls III artbook
- soundtrack
- prima starter guide
- red knight statue

[DarkBloodSoulsBorn]

So they are different. That's quite annoying.

[Codreanu]

According to J Kartje on official Dark Souls twitter the UC CE will include the same metal case as the european one. Also it will come with an smaller version of the trilogy artbook:

Thanks a lot for sharing! But do i understand it well that you say the the US CE steelbook is exactly thesame as the EU CE ? So as far as i see it the only difference between these two is the artbook?

[Codreanu]

It seems that the US CE will still come with the prima guide instead of the iron-on patches,

[Dark Sol]

Is there any official information about0 PC US release of CE? On official dark souls website it is nothing. In retailers sites it is nothing. Shows only download.
I doubt there would be a physical PC CE for US
Console only release is pretty strange. Why no PC love for US?

[0329liuken]

Just got the game with soundtrack, map, and Amazon.co.jp post card set from Japan. Too bad I can't read Japanese... Or I'll stay home and play this game the whole weekend

[ruudjeuuh]

Liuken, can you post a picture of the full edition including the cards? Actual reason why i ask this is because i haven't seen the cards yet + it appears that there is no outside box to hold the game case + exta's? From DS1 untill DS2 the japanese editions always had very nice outside boxes, but now it appears to be absent?

Thanks!

You're right, there's no box to hold the game and extras. Here are pics.

It's actually okay for me as once the game is sold, the outer box becomes useless

[DarkBloodSoulsBorn]

So the postcard set was an amazon.co.jp exclusive?

Yes.

[Shadewolf]

Hey all, joined to ask this since I can't seem to find any solid information anywhere on the Internet, but is the game case in the US CE actually a Steelbook, or is it a Metalpak? Thanks!

[BAD-WAYNE]

Can anyone confirm the US CE sold in Amazon is exactly the same one sold at Gamestop (Is the UPC the same)?

What is the Amazon UPC?

What is the Gamestop UPC?

The contents of my Amazon CE look identical to the contents pictured on the Gamestop CE. Don't know why they would have different ones without advertising it.

I'm sure the contents are the same but it's not uncommon for different retailers to have identical products with different UPCs.

Do UPCs really matter that much...?

If you need to return one to a different store then yes. I bought two (one from GS which isn't here yet and another from Amazon which came in damaged). Amazon doesn't have anymore so I can't exchange it, but Gamestop said they would if the UPC is the same.

I'm hoping this is the correct place for this and I hope I'm not derailing this thread but I have a question that I hope you guys can answer for me.

As we all know there is a release of the Prestige Lord of Cinder statue only in NA and everyone knows about it being released by GameStop online only.
GameStop Statue (http://www.gamestop.com/collectibles/toys/dark-souls-iii-prestige-edition-lord-of-cinder-statue-only-at-gamestop/129838)

Well, I found this one being released by Bandai Namco (https://www.bandainamcoentstore.com/product/398888/dark-souls-iii-lord-of-cinder-statue).

The three differences I could find are as follows:
1) Bandai Namco comes with patches
2) Release date and
3) Biggest difference in my opinion is the numbered amount. Namco Bandai states limited to 1000 and GameStop has limited to 2000.

Am I just crazy or has this topic been discussed before? Do other people know about this and I'm just out of the loop? I am on the fence on buying this with all the other things I'm buying right now so, maybe, a little clarification will help me decide.

TIA guys.

EDIT: Sorry guys, did not see this discussed in another thread. I was premature in my findings. Thanks anyways and sorry for the waste of real estate in this post.

[Dark Sol]

Where did you find info that gamestop statues limited to 2000?

[vhal_x]

On the listing it says it.

Limited Edition
Run of 2000 individually numbered.

:) xx

[Dark Sol]

So it's 5000 statues already lol

[g6t9ed]

Yeah, seems like speculation so far but conversation starts within this thread on what they think the numbers mean.

Starts at Toasty the Baker's comment on #543. (http://collectorsedition.org/forums/showthread.php?t=19109&page=55)

Not gonna lie, it totally derailed my thread (still don't have an answer to my question) but...I didn't know Bandai was selling the statue so I preordered one there as well just incase there is a difference from the GS version. Plus the patches are really cool.

I just took it to the print shop across the street on a USB stick and told them I wanted it to be the same quality/material as a regular insert. Cost me about .75c.

The paper is slightly thicker, but print quality wise, you'd never know this wasn't official.

[Terminator]

One promo sold for $365usd that is absolutely crazy, and it looks just like the retail version, other than it's in a CD caddy. Current listings are at $119, still a joke.

[edo1080]

I have received both the US and EU collector's edition, I am keeping them sealed; but the US has Prima Starter guide and the 200 pages artbook (even if still sealed there's a picture of it on the back of the box) which looks like the one posted above along with a steelbook (it seems to me it has been describes as A5 artbook), while the EU has the A4 of 176 pages. Despite the different size and number of pages could the 2 artbook be the same (just printed on different sizes and thus require a different number of pages)?

[edo1080]

This is the US collector's edition: same as I have

http://www.gamespot.com/gallery/dark-souls-3-collectors-edition-unboxing/2900-595/2/

Could anyone compare the small black 200pages artbook with the one of European collector's /Prestige?

Compare the pages or the book? The book for EU/PE is an A4 book, not the tiny book US got.

[edo1080]

I mean the content, because I suspect there's some content of the Euro A4 version which is not in the smaller US/A5 one, for example some drawings at min 4:20 here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzGDndgKxKk

shouldn't be in the "Bosses" section of the smaller Artbook(A5)

[edo1080]

Many thanks, very very much appreciated!! I'm interested to know if EVERY content of the A5 is also in the A4, (I already know something being in the A4 isn't in the A5).

I chatted with this guy on eBay, and I like the stuff he has, but he has to work on his printing/photoshop skills. The images are so low-res.

Any news from Xhunter for comparison? Thanks

Here, I'll go through it right now.

Check back in about 15 minutes.

[Brandon Storm]

They are nearly identical. The only differences being some page layouts/image layouts are changed to fit in either side book. Or rearranged since the sections are put together a bit differently.

From a quick glance, it looks like both of them have some small pieces of art that the other doesn't. But nothing important, I mean like one of them has a closeup on the detail of a handrailing, and the other has a little sketch of a tower that the other doesn't have.

All the important pieces are in both books. I would say you only need one. Of course the presentation in the bigger book is better, but if you have the smaller one, you're getting just as much as they have in the bigger one, I would say.

[edo1080]

Many thanks, for instance it seems to me some bosses in the bosses section as shown here at min 4:20 here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzGDndgKxKk


are in the big one but not in the smaller, could you confirm this?

Could you please post a picture of an art which is in the small one and not in the bigger one?

Many thanks, once again

[xhunter]

I completely forgot, sorry!

I can go through it later this week if you still want me to.

[BAD-WAYNE]

I really want the Large art book from the Prestige Edition...on a side note, it makes me sick sometimes watching these guys just tear into these with no regard of value, like Greg Miller unboxing the Uncharted 2 Fortune Hunter's Edition.

They're all in there.

Here's a couple pics:

http://i.imgur.com/pbQNWTy.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/XuVycGJ.jpg

You can see they're just rearranged through the books different, but pretty much every piece of art is in both books.

Here's an example of an insignificant piece I saw in the small book that I don't think was in the big book:

http://i.imgur.com/qNRHSIr.jpg


But of course, I could be wrong. Since they're so differently arranged, it could be that they have the exact same art, I just can't memorize every piece.

[WellDuh]

Someone earlier in the thread said that they ordered the Lord of Cinder statue seperately and not as part of the Prestige Edition. It says it comes in a collectable box, can you show pictures of it please?

[Codreanu]

I don't own the seperate statue. But it is the same panorama box that is part of the Prestige Edition.

[eternix]

I really need to pick this up soon.

I purchased the statue from GameStop and can confirm it is the EXACT same box from the collectors edition...all the way down to the pre-cut foam for all the extras. It's like they planned on making more collector's editions and just decided not to.
