Hi,
Need some help, I really need to get this item but I live in Portugal. Any news about this being released in Europe?

The CE has not been announced for Europe yet. As the release is in April, I would expect them to announce it within the next weeks. Otherwise I doubt that it will be released in Europe. Remember that the Monster Hunter World iceborne CE wasn't released in Europe despite the franchise's success in the west.

I can't see why they wouldn't release one for us. The RE2 CE sold like there is no tomorrow, with eBay prices going stellar.
The RE2 CE for europe was also later announced than it's JP/US equivalent.
And they are probably trying to put some more stuff into it again, so they can charge more.
(Which I would like, since the US CE is Pretty lackluster)
I really hope we'll get that improved box packagaing again.

Just wait for the official listing. In case this doesn't release in Europe you can still grab the Japanese version.

CE has been officially announced for the EU today!
Same contents as the JP version if I'm not mistaken! Happy hunting and be quick about it! :)

Sadly, no Steelbook and nothing really extra. Well, at least it'll save us some money.
Edit: Just noticed that we'll get a lenticular case for our game!

Is anyone seriously thinking about buying it for the price they announced?
We, collectors, are some seriously stupid people :scratch:

To be honest, I have no clue what the price is said to be.
No gaming website nor the german facebook page mention it.
I'll wait for Amazon to bring it up and decide then.

I bet it will be anywhere from 200 to 250€.

I think I would do 200€, but 250€ no way. They haven't included anything special over the US or JP version besides the lenticular edition.
For RE2 we got a better Box, a little pin, replicas of the iconic keys AND a physical soundtrack CD. May not justify it's pricing back then, but at least they had somewhat of an excuse to charge more. This time, just nope. Would be really brazen.

Again Capcom with their idiotic practice. How is it ''Europe'' if they only sell it to game.co.uk which doesn't ship heavy items outside UK? It's like they don't know who is selling their stuff.

I think Game.co.uk is only UK exclusive as there is German advertising also:

Is it already sold out from Gamestop Germany?

I don't think so. I've been watching several websites all day, including GS.
Unless they have sold it out within an hour or so.

FYI Gameware.at stated that they only got very few CEs and sold them to their regular patrons. Not even people from Gameware themselves were able to secure one. And they have no info about an Xbox version of the CE at all.

Have to correct myself. It appears the edition is indeed sold out in germany.
Amazon and Gamestop seem to have sold their stock within 5-10mins and looking at how few german eBay resellers there are, the edition size must have been extremely low here.
Dunno if cap will provide some more in the upcoming weeks, but honestly I'm pretty content with a pass. RE2 CE was already overpriced, but this time it's too ridiculous.
