[gurpswoo1]

I definitely getting, Fable 3, Vanquish and Star wars. The last blazue is still freely available for £15.00.

Can't believe I missed out on the fan edition though.

[twistedsymphony]

the fan edition will be a nice one to have.

[scourdx]

Vanquish looks cool. I hold off getting Starwars CE & Fable 3. I know it will drop soon.

[twistedsymphony]

I'm a sucker for metal cases so Star Wars is a definite buy from me.

Also my wife is a huge RPG fan and Fable is one of her favorites, so it's an easy excuse to buy that CE as well. (plus it looks like they're trying to make amends for the crappy Fable II CE

[gurpswoo1]

(plus it looks like they're trying to make amends for the crappy Fable II CE

LOL - They would have to give this game away for free to make up that sorry excuse of edition.

Expecting so much from that edition but was left bitterly disappointed. This one however looks very promising and here's hoping they don't drop the ball again. :beg:

[twistedsymphony]

IIRC at the 11th hour they had some kind of safety issue with the plush they were including and didn't have enough time to fix it so they just put out a stripped down version.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

I've updated the initial post with new information regarding the recently announced SteelBook Edition of Vanquish!

It has also come to my attention that Zavvi have increased the price of the BlazBlue: Continuum Shift LE from £29.95 to £32.95, now making ShopTo.net slightly cheaper

[twistedsymphony]

I hate to break it to you but Vanquish comes out on the 22nd not the 29th

[Gemini-Phoenix]

I hate to break it to you but Vanquish comes out on the 22nd not the 29th

They have obviously brought the release date forward so as to not clash with the other three major releases

[gurpswoo1]

Tooooooooo many releases, can't afford them all.

It must be that time of year again.
