Call of Juarez: The Cartel Outlaw Edition

[Ayiu]

I found another interesting Edition on game4game - The Call of Juarez: The Cartel Outlaw Edition.
This Edition seems not to be a game4game exclusive Edition. The item description says nothing about any exclusive rights to the site. This Edition was added to the site today and there are no further information about the table of content at this moment. It's only sure that the game will come in a wooden box furthermore Ubisoft has not yet confirmed if there will be more content added to the box.

Edit: New content announced:


stylish bandana

Call of Juarez Dog-Tag

in-game content

Tactical Machine Pistol



Referring to the Website the game will be out in July 21, 2011 and can be pre-ordered for PC, PS3 & Xbox 360
pre-orders can be made here (http://www.game4game.at/shop/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=the+cartel)

Nice, hope it gets a UK release.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Looks very tasty! Much nicer than the Dead Island Treasure Edition, and everything the Far Cry 2 set should've and could've been...

I am hoping that this is yet another stupidly rare and limited numbered exclusive. It would be nice to have here in the UK, but I will settle for a limited run of 200 and exclusively from this retailer if not

Nice find, Ayiu! Keep us posted as to when they add more details - I'm holding out on this one until a few crucial details have been confirmed, such as exclusivity and number this will be limited to

[gurpswoo1]

OMG - My bank account can't take it. Another very nice and hopefully limited release.

Thanks for the info Ayiu, will wait to see if the UK or other countries get it before committed to purchase.

Also are most members going for the Xbox 360 version again?

[Venner]

Again another great looking edition

[The Russian Bear]

Anyone care to speculate on the contents of this fine looking collectors edition?

[mosavon]

cool, hope its not a huge box :tumbleweed:

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Also are most members going for the Xbox 360 version again?

Of course! I only buy exclusives for the PS3, mainly because I started out collecting X360 CE's a long time before the PS3 came along, plus the X360 seems to get more exclusives than the PS3


cool, hope its not a huge box

It all depends what they bundle with the game. I would imagine that a wooden box would weigh some, so they would either want to keep it small to keep it a reasonable weight, or if it is a larger box, they might make fewer of them so that they're not such a strain on storage like the Crysis 2 Nano Edition and most Guitar Hero / Rock Band bundles are

It'll be at least the size of the Far Cry 2 CE at least, although I imagine this may be slightly larger and roughly the size of the numbered Fallout: New Vegas CE. But like I say, it's dependant on what they're including inside, and a T-shirt would instantly mean a larger box

I am guessing that this set will measure around 12" x 9", judging by the scale of those hinges.

[matze1975]

Preordered:drool:

[The Russian Bear]

It seems their is also another edition

[gurpswoo1]

^ LOL - That cracked me up, though something was up when I saw it included the coke.

[The Russian Bear]

The real CE is going to look severely underwhelming compared to this. ^^

[mosavon]

^ LOL - That cracked me up, though something was up when I saw it included the coke.

same...:rotf:

[Ayiu]

new content added + picture

[gurpswoo1]

Nice I ordered this early as well so hope to get it this time.

[mosavon]

hey, how did you pay for yours? i clicked advanced payment for some reason...what does it mean? do i pay now or later?

[Ayiu]

advanced payment means that you pay by bank transfer. You can transfer the money one or two weeks before the offiicial release.

Members from outside Germany & Austria have to use IBAN & BIC.

If you need information how to do this feel free to pm me.
I can give you their bank dates.

[mosavon]

Ok, thanks that would be very helpful, last time when i got the sniper ghost warrior survivor edition from game4game i used paypal, but since it would be taken from my account now :banghead: i chose the advanced method for some stupid reason :facepalm:!!, ill see if it sells out if not ill cancel this order closer to the time and do paypal maybe

By the way, is this exclusive to this retailer because a google search doesn't show anybody else doing this? anybody know?

Thanks Ayiu :)

[Ayiu]

By the way, is this exclusive to this retailer because a google search doesn't show anybody else doing this? anybody know?

Your Welcome :)

The item description doesn't say anything about exclsusive rights to that shop furthermore I saw this Edition in a german shop aswell, but that was the austrian Version either. So maybe this Edition is exclusive to austria :scratch:

[mosavon]

Great News a price drop to 74.99 euro PS3
http://www.game4game.at/shop/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=6660

X360, also 74.99 euro
http://www.game4game.at/shop/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=6661

Does this mean pre-orders pay the lower price also?...ill prob just re-order with paypal cant be bothered with the money transfer option

[thefunk007]

Thats a kick in the teeth, the console versions are now cheaper then the PC :-/

[Gemini-Phoenix]

I hope so, but as I have already paid for mine via PayPal, I am wondering whether I would receive the rebate from them? Strictly speaking they should honour this lower price to those who have already placed an order and also paid upfront

Is anyone here (preferably German) able to ask someone at Game4Game about this?

[thefunk007]

I would agree with you, they should certainly refund those that pre-ordered and that have already paid :nono:

[Ayiu]

I would suggest writing an email. Their customer service is very good and you will receive an answer soon. Or if you like I can do it for you.

But I think it's better if you do it by yourself. You should give them your order number.
office@game4game.at

[mosavon]

That is one of the reasons why i didn't like this idea of paying up front, i really don't understand why they have that system to be honest, they should refund the difference of course, and i think they will

[Ayiu]

you're not forced to pay instantly at game4game. If you chose bank transfer you can send the money 2 weeks before the release date.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

I actually preferred to pay via PayPal, and I don't mind paying upfront. The way I see it is, if I've paid upfront then technically my pre-order is "more valid" than anyone elses pre-order who hasn't paid. Plus I don't have to worry about the funds when the time comes

I think i'll wait and see though. If they refund me the difference, then great, but if not, then I will certainly be contacting them after the release date and asking question!

[vhal_x]

The guys at game4game speak English so you should be okay talking to them, and also, Paypal is cheaper than BT.

I went into my bank to do a BT yesterday and found out to transfer money internationally you have to pay a £25 service charge on top, so I cancelled my order and just paid through Paypal xx

[Mikel]

Ok
In Poland we have Limited Version of CoJ
http://muve.pl/uploads/banners/x_1.jpg

[vhal_x]

[gurpswoo1]

Thanks

[themidlandmaster]

If someone from Poland was prepared to prder these, I'd be interested. I'd be happy to reciprocate for any exclusive Aussie editions

[mosavon]

you can write an email to them and explain it so they can cancel the old order or you leave the order open and they may cancel it :)

[mosavon]

you can write an email to them and explain it so they can cancel the old order or you leave the order open and they may cancel it :)

So theres no way to cancel through my account?

Im afraid they will get confused and cancel the one ive just paid for !!

[Ayiu]

I'm afraid, there's no way to cancel it through your account. You can wait until they shipped your other order so they can't cancel it anymore :)

If you like I can help you to write the text in German so that they don't get confused.

[mosavon]

Ok thanks ill wait for it to ship then ill contact them

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Referring to the Website the game will be out in July 21, 2011 and can be pre-ordered for PC, PS3 & Xbox 360
pre-orders can be made here (http://www.game4game.at/shop/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=the+cartel)


Expecting this to arrive any day now! If past purchases from Game4Game.at are anything to go by, this should arrive early. Fingers crossed!

Has anyone here received confirmation of shipping yet? I haven't :(

[gurpswoo1]

Nothing yet for me.

They do use a 2-4 days service so could be dispatch tomorrow.

[vhal_x]

Not yet, hopefully soon! xx

[Ayiu]

They published on their site that the Outlaw Edition is expected to be in stock on Wednesday, 20. July.
It was delayed because of delivering problems from Ubisoft. The PC Version of the Game is delayed until September 15th. (Standard & Outlaw)

Hope that helps :)

[vhal_x]

Does that mean it will be shipped tomorrow :D ? xx

[vhal_x]

Anyone received shipping confirmation yet? xx

[matze1975]

"Game4Game.at Also laut Ubisoft wird sie morgen angeliefert "
This is what they posted on Facebook! It says, that Ubisoft told them, that they will receive the shipment tomorrow(thursday)!

[gurpswoo1]

Thanks for the update matze1975, hopefully the item is dispatched today. Wonder what the delay was.

[matze1975]

I got an email, that my Outlaw Edition was dispatched this morning!:2cool:
I got a tracking number, but it isn´t in the system at the moment!

[gurpswoo1]

I got my confirmation also.:break::break:

It's a good job I paid for this weeks ago, otherwise there was no way I could have afforded it.

[mosavon]

mine was despatched today :banana:, they emailed me the tracking number...should get it early next week if the last order is anything to go by:taunt:

[vhal_x]

got my email :banana: xx

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Same here. eMail with tracking number. I had to translate the eMail to make sure it wasn't a cancellation. I am also glad it was paid for months ago. Hoping to receive it Saturday or Monday

[thefunk007]

Yeah I ordered it with the Treasure Edition and it would seem I selected to post the items together :-/

I have emailed them asking this just to confirm, I'll just end up sending them a small payment I assume so they can ship it.

[matze1975]

Here it is!:2cool:

[vhal_x]

Is the box of good quality :) ? xx

[mosavon]

can you take a pic of the box closed?...how big is the box?

[matze1975]

http://www.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/dsc01676cuatsd42vx.jpg (http://www.fotos-hochladen.net)
Sorry for the late response, but I had to leave for a bachelor party right after posting the picture and returned five minutes ago!:barsong::beer:
The box is like a cigar box! It is in good quality I would say! :thumb:
The box is B 23 cm H 18 cm D 6 cm when it is like shown in the picture! ;)
Hope I was able to answer all your questions! If not feel free to ask!:taunt:

[mosavon]

Thank You, yeah it looks a very nice edition im glad its not enormous aswell...cant wait

I assume it comes unsealed without an outer box like the Sniper GW Survivor Edition?

[matze1975]

Yes, it comes unsealed and without an outer Box!

[mosavon]

thanks for the info and pics, im looking forward to getting this, im quite happy its an open edition because i can enjoy the contents:taunt:

this austrian shop is getting some nice things aren't they

[Mike1888]

I have bought the regular edition and the game itself is a huge letdown, I hate it.

This edition looks really cool though, it would be cool if a Mafia or Godfather game CE came in a cigar box.

[mosavon]

lol, who cares the box is nice:shrug:

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Is the box of good quality :) ? xx

Lesser quality than I was expecting. It's extremely lightweight, like balsa wood. It's Ok, but I did have to perform some simple DIY to the back hinges and knock them back in. It actually feels more like a 15 year old's woodwork exam piece

I am also slightly disappointed that there seems to be a sliver missing from the top of my box, which indicates that they weren't treated very well. You can see where in the pictures below...


Here are my pics:

I can also confirm a few things:

Firstly, it is a German version of the game. The back cover is entirely in German

Secondly, the packaging box also included a massive A1 Call Of Juarez: The Cartel poster, folded (it was too big to take a picture of)

I hope the above has been of help

[Gemini-Phoenix]

This edition looks really cool though, it would be cool if a Mafia or Godfather game CE came in a cigar box.

Off-topic: If cigar boxes are your thing, I hear the forthcoming Blu-Ray CE release of Scarface is going to have one:

http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=280;0;-1;-1;-1&sku=95840

[matze1975]

I had no poster in it!:rant:

Yeah I saw that, I loove the idea of it. I might get it, but I have a feeling it will set off a chain of other Blu-ray CE purchases, ending in me being broke lol

[scourdx]

Wow. That is one nice looking CE. How was the shipping? Did they pack up pretty good. I am thinking of ordering. :thumb:

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Wow. That is one nice looking CE. How was the shipping? Did they pack up pretty good. I am thinking of ordering. :thumb:

It came inside a cardboard box with a sheet of air-pockets laid on top. Room for improvement where packaging is concerned in my opinion, but arrived intact so for that I am grateful.

[mosavon]

Got mine yesterday and WOW complete let down, if it wasn't so much hassle returning i would, agree packaging could have been better but it wasn't damaged, did not get a poster, whats up with that?
Pics very misleading, hinges totally different and where are the two rope handles? wood is extremely cheap as others have said, oh well lesson learnt

[vhal_x]

I got mine today, also received a poster - think they just dole out the posters randomly to be honest, don't think they're anything to do with the CE as I'm sure a couple of people got posters with Sniper GW CE but some didn't xx

[mosavon]

yeah the poster thing is true, what do you think of the CE?

[vhal_x]

I quite liked it, although I must admit that the box isn't as nice as the ones in the original game4game pics, no handles and different clasp, bit gutting tbh, but oh well, still a not bad CE, could've been better but you could say that for most CE's nowadays xx

[bbki]

and another month and a half plus for me to get it across the sea
booo D:
Sometime I wonder if they ship to me by boat?

[mosavon]

lets just hope the 1000 piece limited edition dont let me down...and yeah its a killer waiting 6 weeks

[Saturn]

I had no poster either... And the contents suck large. The box is the only good thing about this edition and even yet the locker is far different than seen in pictures. It looks much better in the pictures than this gold locker they ended up putting...

[mosavon]

You were happy with the box? really? for me thats one if not the worst editions i've brought this year, very disappointing

[Saturn]

I was happy with the box yes, I find it quite interested for a wooden box. I hate the lock though. But I'm not totally happy to know that after the game was released the price for this edition dropped quite a bit! That's a disrespect for those who preordered and paid full price with no benefits. In this case, preordering this edition was trully a mistake...

[mosavon]

still overpriced at 60 euro

[themidlandmaster]

Does anyone know how to cancel a pre order? I preordered, then they wanted an extra twnty euroes for opostage, so i sent three emails trying to cancel my order.

[bbki]

You have to contact them manually
I did that before with sniper game once and luckily I cancel it in time.
You may have to wait a little bit for respond (Mine was 3 day back then)
They once told me that there is only person in the office that can respond in English
Maybe you can try use google translate into German and they maybe they will respond.

If they already ship, brace yourself for 6-8 weeks of transportation

[mosavon]

LOL did you ever get that sniper game bbki?

[themidlandmaster]

Thanks, I'll try that. I sent them two emails, and they haven't responded to either. What did you send the subject of the message as?

[bbki]

Yes I do get the game from first shipment after 1.5 month wait and on the day that I put a second order. So I cancelled it and got refund with no problem.

Thanks, I'll try that. I sent them two emails, and they haven't responded to either. What did you send the subject of the message as?

My subject is
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!! regarding order xxxxx

try to make it look emergency but not too aggressive.
Their service is try to be helpful as much as possible I give them that.

Hope you not be another victim of shitty game with Lame-mited edition

[Anjelaoni]

Thanks, I'll try that. I sent them two emails, and they haven't responded to either. What did you send the subject of the message as?

Do you need a german translation? :)

[Kiefer]

Does anyone still have this edition, a brand new one (Xbox 360)? I checked game4game.at and it's sold out.
