Humberto Saabedra has written with an update to the ADV Films Case Redemption for Devil May Cry 4 Collector's Edition Owners:
I’d like to offer an update to the whole debacle, yet I’m sure this will incense those of us who purchased the Special Edition.
As a result of ADV’s recent distribution arrangement shifting away from direct customer fulfillment to third-party fulfillment through RightStuf International, the new distributor has taken it upon themselves to offer the actual cases at an additional charge of $3.99 instead of supplying a redemption form.

Not only that, it shafts those that imported this game as it is only for US residents.
