Please post pre-order links if anyone catches this ;)

Like every other game, the Europe collectors edition is superior to the North American one.

[Dymblos]

In worldwide crisis

I must resist >_<.. btw, this CE will be nintendo store exclusive?

[ExMajik]

I really hope not...
If they did that, it will make importing difficult...

If it does come to that, if anyone can order me one I would appreciate it. I can pay immediately.

[Twisted]

that vinyl design is beautiful. i can't believe NOA thought this would'nt sell in America! then again, record players are far and few in between..even if they did that artwork on a CD would have been good enough!

Bit annoying that the cheeky dicks are charging £6 delivery for this.

Still, better than the Base.com price of £150 earlier which is now up to £200 and showing as sold out.

Holy hell though, how limited is this one? I was checking on and off since this was first posted and then within maybe 2 hours it showed up on the Nintendo store and Shopto and was sold out. Then Base went up at that mad price and is sold out too.

Wonder if it's meant to be so limited or if it's purely down to logistical problems because of the coronavirus.

Yeah, I thought that. Cheeky bastards. Have never had to pay shipping from GAME before. Perhaps they're treying to encourage customers into brick and mortar stores.

What a fantastic time to do this............................ :poke:

In other news, it sold out in a nano-second on Nintendo online store which also comes with a pre-order bonus Monado Keyring which was not originally advertised when I placed my pre-order. Looks pretty sweet tbf. Hope its metal and not PVC...

Edit: Apparently it's metal according to the product page. :beer:

[ExMajik]

Can someone pick me up a copy from game? They are not allowing international shipping

[Samarkiel]

I would also be glad if someone in Europe could order one and ship it to Canada.

Obviously I would pay all fees and an appreciable amount for the favor.

[ExMajik]

I would just setup a proxy shipping address. I used: forward2me

Because this is 1 CE per account, I dont think its likely we will find anyone willing to help us with this one.

[Samarkiel]

Is that trustworthy?

Available from Media Markt and Saturn in Germany for only 90 €.

[ExMajik]

Im kind of curious why this is still up on GAME. Its been 2 days now and they still have it up for preorder. But every other site sells out within minutes?

Maybe because their price too high?

Do you know if GAME bans proxy shipping address?

[Kickpuncher]

Do you know if GAME bans proxy shipping address?

Always used it with GAME & didn't face any problem

[Letrico]

Anyone can help with this CE? Apparently they are not going to release this in Australia for whatever stupid reason it could be.

This one is different from the EU/UK, NA and JP versions. Which means there are four different CEs for the game.

[Twisted]

it's kinda funny to me that this game is several years old and it's the 3rd re-release on top of that!.. but the HYPE train!!! :D is at full speed!!! like it's an all new entry! into the series ;D hahaha

Fanboys will be fanboys lol
Although, Xenoblades was a pretty good game though, so i can understand it.

Although, Xenoblades was a pretty good game though, so i can understand it.

The original game came out at a moment I no longer had enough time to devote to videogames, so I would just play very casually the games I wanted to play, nothing serious. I tried out many games in the past, but I have to admit that when Xenoblade came out, it quickly became one of the best things I had played in a very, very long time. Possibly the best RPG I played in the last 10 years before it came out. Right now I don't even collect like I used to anymore, I just buy the stuff that I trully want to play and that's like one game or two every couple of months at best but this one, I trully needed to get the CE and I'm expecting to play through it all over again. The Xenoblade series is just this good to me, despite having its bunch of flaws that I can easily overlook.

[Vlad]

Anyone's Amazon order showing as just, "We'll e-mail when available"?

Not had that with an Amazon order but I did order as soon as it went up.

[Codreanu]

Yes, my order status was like this for a couple of days but today it changed to estimated delivery date: 3 June 2020.

I’m not sure if this is the right place to report this but,

Today I decided to open my copy that I ordered from amazon uk.

And guess what ... the vinyl is missing!
Most likely it’s a Manufacturers ..

At first I thought i was the only one but then I decided to search and see if someone else had this problem..

And yea I wasn’t the only one ... this guy is also missing it plus from Amazon uk.
It seems there is some copies that is actually missing the vinyl from the CE.

https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/gvmrc9/xenoblade_chronicles_de_collectors_edition/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

I don’t know how much should i ask amazon uk to refund me ..
And tbh I don’t know if they will since it’s been around 2 months..
Most likely they will ignore me ...

I wasn’t planning to open it and this is my first time something like this
Did happen to me.

So if anyone can give me some advice i will appreciate it.

Thanks

[gamecollector_nz]

Damn that sucks, I haven’t open mine yet, will check tonight

I want to say that I contacted Amazon uk ..
They said we will give you £18.74 as a refund!!
I said it’s a vinyl it should be more !!!
The agent said the only thing i can offer is £20 !
No more !

I think it’s better than nothing since 2 months passed and the CE
Is already expensive.

So I said ok i’ll take the £20 ! Please refund it to my payment card.

[Letrico]

Ok now this is concerning. Gotta open mine as well.

[Queeny]

Ok now this is concerning. Gotta open mine as well.

I think if someone not saving it to sell it later.
It’s better to open it.

Tbh, I opened mine because i want to check if the vinyl was ok.
But i was shocked it was missing.
And when i google it.
I found a post in Reddit plus a customer review in the XB DE / CE page.

The guy was right , when i got a reply from Nintendo UK.
They told me we can’t help you !! Lol ????
Seriously, it’s their factory problem.. they should take responsibility.

I’m not sure how many copies are missing the vinyl.
Plus I’m sure some of the expensive ones on ebay might be missing it too.
But since this is didn’t spread yet and no one make it public.
Nintendo uk won’t take action or apologize about this.

I’m really upset and feel bad since it’s cost me a lot because i used a forward Service to get it.

And it’s also my first time facing this.

I would love to know what do u guys usually do if something like this
Happens?

Wow, what a mess.
If it was I, and considering I am in Portugal, I would complain to the Consumer Defense League and they would help, almost certainly the store that sold it would have to do a full refund.
Not sure what options you have in your country

Wow so cool that they'll do that for you guys. Mine would tell me to fly kites hahaha :hammer:

[gamecollector_nz]

I opened mine just right now and there is the vinyl inside, I must be the lucky one at this time

Also, you get a lot of discount in fuel, medical services, etc

WTFt!!
Can anyone with vinyl weigh the whole edition? And then without vinyl?

Maybe if it was a local store.
But since it’s online, I don’t think i have an option to complain or get my money back unfortunately..

Amazon UK only give around 20-25% unfortunately.

But as a collector, this CE lost some of its price because of the missing vinyl.

Congrats man.
At least yours is complete.

and as i said before.. if no one is planning to keep it sealed.
It’s really better to check your copy now even if you are planning to play it later.

And maybe you can help the others “ especially the ones who want to keep it sealed “ by telling them the exact weight for it with the Vinyl.

Not sure if the one in Amazon UK page is correct though.

As long as they are in EU it doesnt matter if the store is in Portugal or not.
But you are outside EU, so dont know how it works.

PS: I pm'ed you

I think it’s different here unfortunately.
We only have it for local store if i’m not wrong.
And it’s take time to get your refund.

For online store if there is a lot of complaining about it, they will block it / add it to the black list lol.

Did anyone get a chance to weigh their XCDE with and without the vinyl in it? I would love to know the weights so that I can check mine without opening it. Guess it really shouldn't matter if I am not opening it, but now my OCD just wants to know. :D

2259g with, 2023g without.

2259g with, 2023g without.

Thanks very much! :wave: I am getting 2268g on my scale, but that little variance doesn't concern me at all. I feel sure now that it is complete with the vinyl - that or a rock of a similar weight was cleverly put in my box. :D
