[Queen of Mudcrabs]

I need it!

[Cosmic_Link]

I need it!

Me too! XD

Would pre-order this straight up from the Tales Store, but not sure if payment is taken straight up. :S

It looks like payment will be taken upon dispatch according to their T&Cs (https://store.talesofgame.com/cgv_en_UK.html). I assume usual rules apply when using paypal as payment method though, where payment is taken upfront.

Also, it looks like Europe got shafted on price due to currency rates... >.<

[geralds]

does seem to be a place were you can preorder the american copy yet. Only find it from europe places at the moment.

[Vlad]

Would pre-order this straight up from the Tales Store, but not sure if payment is taken straight up.

I just ordered, my e-mail says this:

Congratulations! Your pre-order has been successfully registered. You are one of the lucky players who will receive Tales of Xillia: Milla Maxwell Collector's Edition.
You will not be debited until Tales of Xillia is officially launched in Europe (currently planned for the 9th of August 2013) and your item is ready to be shipped. You will receive shipping and debit notification when your order is ready to be dispatched.


The only thing that concerns me is that if I really need to cancel it later if the washing machine breaks down for example, I see no way to do so easily.


Even though I don't sell mine, I reckon this one will get pretty valuable if they stick to 10000 for PAL.



Also here's a bigger picture (http://images.vg247.com/current//2013/04/2126_ToX_Collector_final.jpg) of the CE for anybody wanting one.

[Solemn_In_Berlin]

So this is what they meant when they said they were bringing a Milla Maxwell statue overseas.

[Murtera]

Wonder who the "Participating Retailers" are...

[Twisted]

probably the usual suspects for the US...best buy, amazon, and gamestop...those 3 seem pretty consistent when it comes to collectors editions.

[Twisted]

i actually bought the japanese version last year..that came with a special limited edition dualshock 3 controller with the game in a limited edition artsy looking box.

[Tenyouken]

The item is now up on GameStop for those looking for a place to pre-order in the US :cpatch:

Local seller is bringing in Malaysia let me know if you are interested. That is R3 version. Item Includes Milla Figurine, Soundtrack, Artbook

[Lemur]

[melt]

Payments are now being taken for the Milla Maxwell CE, even though release is over 3 weeks away... xx

[Clusks]

Payments are now being taken for the Milla Maxwell CE, even though release is over 3 weeks away... xx

So they've actually taken the payment?

I got the email saying that my order is confirmed (even though I pre-ordered months ago). Looking forward to having this!

[vhal_x]

Yep, if you've received the email, then they're processing your payment right now xx

[Clusks]

Yep, if you've received the email, then they're processing your payment right now xx

Just what you don't want to hear when you're looking to make a payment to rent a house =/

[vhal_x]

Know the feeling (albeit not for the same reason haha) xx

[Vikingo82]

Yep, if you've received the email, then they're processing your payment right now xx

Got the confitmation too...but it says that they are gonna begin with shipments too...

So maybe we are lucky to have it some weeks before...hihihi

[vhal_x]

I was planning on cancelling mine though :( I've emailed them to see if they can cancel it, but expecting the worst. Couldn't have come at a worse time as well :suicide: xx

[Cosmic_Link]

Payments are now being taken for the Milla Maxwell CE, even though release is over 3 weeks away... xx

Bah! >.< What bullshit. I hope they don't try to process payment for this until tomorrow. Waiting for my wages to go in, so could do without being charged for something I wasn't expecting for a few weeks! >.<

Haven't had any emails from them since placing my pre-order, besides when I was moaning about needing to update payment method. lol

[vhal_x]

Payment is withheld in my bank account right now. Could really have been doing without this as I'm skint already, so now my bank is in minus :( xx

[Cosmic_Link]

Mine has been in minus for weeks now! :rotf:

[vhal_x]

I don't have an overdraft though :haha: xx

[SwiftDeath]

Still don't understand how bank accounts being overdrawn work in britain

That would either be costly in the US (Overdraft) or just be rejected

[vhal_x]

I'm with Santander and I have no idea how they work. If you have an overdraft, you're charged ?1 per day that you are overdrawn with my type of account I think, but if you don't have an overdraft, then I assume a bigger charge, which is my worry, as I can't afford this preorder, never mind charges :rotf: xx

EDIT: Also, somehow my bank have NEVER rejected a payment for me, even if I have no money in my account :/ And if they do reject a payment, you get charged for it :S xx

[Cosmic_Link]

I don't have an overdraft though :haha: xx

Oh... :S Well that's a different issue altogether! XD

Still don't understand how bank accounts being overdrawn work in britain

That would either be costly in the US (Overdraft) or just be rejected

My bank charges me a 1GBP a day fee for using my overdraft which gets charged monthly. I don't tend to use it often for that reason, but it is nice to have there for when stuff like this comes up. :D

Ahh ok so not exactly desired

In the US my bank has something like 18 USD + 36 USD charges per day of overdraft :swoon:

That adds up fast

Been meaning to opt out of the overdraft "protection" but they don't make it easy

Brits are so damn lucky with 1 GBP a day

[Cosmic_Link]

Guys are so damn lucky with 1 GBP a day

Damn, what a con!! 0.0

I thought I was being had. :S

My bank used to only charge an interest rate and as I only have a 100GBP overdraft, the interest payment on there was incredibly low. Usually only a few pence per month, but a few years ago they started charging on a daily basis. :(

[comaamen86]

santander cap it at 20 pound a month on agreed overdraft

[SwiftDeath]

Yeah pretty much

Had it go for like 3 days once a couple years ago

Never again :suicide:

[Raasclark]

Ive been charged too : (

I thought they were charging on despatch? Ive got no bloody money in my bank till payday, quite furious about this.

[vhal_x]

Yeah, they said they'd charge just prior to dispatch, and since release is August 9th, I expected August 1st at the earliest. However, after reading their FAQs, it genuinely does say they'd charge in July prior to dispatch :( xx

[comaamen86]

is this the same one that is on shopto?

Bloody hell, I'd be fooked with that, I've been overdrawn since 2003 :lol:

Just got the same email so am quite excited :D

[SwiftDeath]

lol now hearing about brits being overdrawn makes so much sense

It's actually somewhat useful

It's complete BS here

[comaamen86]

http://www.shopto.net/video%20games/ps3/PS3TA07-tales-of-xillia-collectors-edition

minimum 2 pound back in point, pay on week of release and i am sure for an item of this size they will send courier

[comaamen86]

blame obama!!!

[Matt16]

Yeah I pay about 30 quid interest a month but am about 3K overdrawn so its not so bad :shrug:

[SwiftDeath]

blame obama!!!

:rotf:

Yeah been that way here for decades mate

Not everything is the president's fault

Yeah I pay about 30 quid interest a month but am about 3K overdrawn so its not so bad :shrug:

Wow that's not bad all things considered

Acts like a loan i guess

Fairly certain if you did that over here your interest would be approaching infinite ;)

[Dragonix Jin]

Local seller is bringing in Malaysia let me know if you are interested. That is R3 version. Item Includes Milla Figurine, Soundtrack, Artbook

Would you kindly send me the link on how to pre order the CE? thank you very much

[StayFree( ' 3')]

was able to get my hands on one at a recent NamcoBandai event. Really surprised by the quality banpresto put into them given the eh~ naruto figures.

[Solemn_In_Berlin]

^ Yup. It's really good for a prize figure.

It's a nice CE, but I'll just be getting the Day One Edition. I'm very happy with my Alter Milla. :clap:

[Cosmic_Link]

GAME UK are now taking pre-orders for the Collector's Edition... -_-

http://www.game.co.uk/en/tales-of-xillia-collectors-edition-240100?cm_sp=PDP-_-belowespot-_-TalesofxilliaCE

What a load of bollocks. Had I known this, I would have preferred to order it from GAME than direct from Namco-Bandai. Atleast if GAME trash it in the post, I have somewhere I know I can moan about it to. >.< Have a nasty feeling this is going to turn out like the AC3 Freedom Eds last year! >.<

Also would have liked the reward points... :P

[SwiftDeath]

Hmm seems less and less limited as time goes on...

Or is this the second edition CE or whatever it is?

[Cosmic_Link]

Either that, or they didn't sell as many pre-order through the site as they had hoped, so are instead pushing it out to retailers.

I reckon there is more than the 10,000 they originally said though, personally.

[Tubigdomo]

IGN has unboxed the CE.

http://au.ign.com/videos/2013/07/29/unboxing-tales-of-xillias-special-edition

It is numbered! Unfortunately he didn't mention the page amount in the artbook or open the actual game case, so we can't see the manual.

Most interesting part is Namco sent IGN a "Codex and Ideologies" book. Which looks like an oversized manual. Where can we get that?!?!?!?

The box is nice and big. Luckily IGN didn't rip into it like they did with their Riptide unboxing (pun intended).

[vhal_x]

I have one slightly worrying question. The one he is unboxing is the US version, the "Collector's Edition" rather than the Tales of Store exclusive "Milla Maxwell Edition" (they're the same other than the title of the edition on the box). Will ours be numbered too!? It bloody better be, since exclusivity to the Tales of Store should make it the same or better, not worse :haha: xx

[Vikingo82]

I hope so...we have been kind with Namco preordering from them the CE...so I hope they give us something really special like a Numbered CE...if it's not the case, I will want the refund of my money.

Couse I take it from my local store cheaper and get the metalpack, notebook or wathever...

It was supposed to be a Namco exclusive, but finally it wasn't...so they should have the detail to give us something really different than the other stores...

The same as happened with Ni No exclusive...

If don't, will ask for my money back...

And begging that this is not only for US Namco exclusives...want the same for EU collectors...

I cannot see the vid at this moment, anyone can tell me if it's just numbered with a number, or it's like number and run xxxx/xxxx???

The number is under Milla figure or where?

Thanks buddies!!! Have no computer at this moment...and have so many doubts...

[vhal_x]

Just a number, and it's on the box that the figure is in (inside the CE) xx

[Vikingo82]

So...basically is just the figure was is supposed to be limited...really don't understand...

Why to put the number on the inside figure box and not outside on the CE??? What's the purpose??

So upset...now really don't care if it comes numbered or not as all the boxes and figures will be the same on every shop you buy this CE...numbered or not...fffff...

That's totally crap by Namco...

Thanks for the info Vhal!!

[Tubigdomo]

It's like numbered in the 10,000 to 99,999 mark

[Lemur]

WTF is up with this crap? A generic white box with a sticker number! Order cancelled :suicide:

[vhal_x]

The generic white box is only the box for the Milla figure, the whole CE has a nice pretty box xx

[Tubigdomo]

It does have a nice box and numbered or not, it is selling for a lot on ebay

[Lemur]

At least someone else can get my cancelled order instead of paying ebay prices :v:

Sorry but from what I've learnt so far, some publishers literally think us suckers and laugh at us. If I'm gonna be a sucker, they better put some effort into the details.

[CanisCanemEdit]

Weird to be offering what looks like the same collector's edition under two different names.

I hope that it is exactly the same for both releases and no one gets screwed over by Namco. again.

I'm not sure, but I believe EU got screwed with their Ni no Kuni Wizard edition.

I'm surprised that the Milia figure came out decent considering Bandai quality is hit or miss.

[Cosmic_Link]

I'm not sure, but I believe EU got screwed with their Ni no Kuni Wizard edition.

You're right there. Our Wizards Ed was shite in comparison. :(

Saying that, a lot of US customers got screwed with that CE though. :S

[Letrico]

Lol look at the amount of cancellations. It even reappeared in GameStop.

[Tubigdomo]

Lol I bet it won't appear on EB Aus untill 3 days before

[Letrico]

Lol I bet it won't appear on EB Aus untill 3 days before

They did reappear last week. Online only stock and sold out overnight. I guess the only time we will see them will be local cancelled stock and the next EB stock clearing.

[Tubigdomo]

Maybe at the EBexpo =D I better buy the friday ticket to get first dibs on any CE

[Letrico]

WTF is up with this crap? A generic white box with a sticker number! Order cancelled :suicide:

Order from Amazon? I'll gladly take it off your :P

Statue comes in the collectors edition hence the price bump

Assume the packaging is also slightly different but there's an unboxing video up a couple posts of the collector's edition so the packaging is going to be unique/different from limited edition

[THEREALDEALDUDE]

so basically the collectors has the statue and the limited doesn't and the packing is going to be different. right?

I guess am getting the collectors then.
Thanks for the help

That's my understanding of it but I'm not 100% sure

I believe the limited edition is just the Day One edition more or less as it seems the same price as the game itself

[Tubigdomo]

A meticulous detailed unboxing: wnN_RW_jzxA

He even goes as far as to mention leaving the "flap" to open the top of the box left up to keep the best quality.

Includes quality of the box, the size compared with a 3DS box.

Only problem is his camera doesn't focus when he brings the products close.

In the end he doesn't sound to happy.

[Clusks]

Just got my shipment confirmed email through!

[Tubigdomo]

I received my Milla Maxwell Collector?s Edition today and I can?t help but feel disappointed when comparing this to NA?s collector?s Edition.

Differences:
- No open flap at the front of the box which details the contents inside.
- The Artbook is 100 pages but is SOFT covered and not hard covered like in the NA edition
- The soundtrack doesn?t come in a separate jewel case, but is inside the game case with the game Blu-ray.
- The soundtrack/artbook/game and Figure isn?t separated by a white envelope/box. The artbook and soundtrack are on top of the Figure box
- The Figure box is not numbered or is it white: it comes in a green-ish display box where you can see the figure at the front of the box.
- It comes with a thick manual in 8 languages.

Besides the figure, the figure?s box and the manual, I feel a bit jipped like I felt when the Ni No Kuni CE came in a cake box and doesn't have the coloured inside cover.

[Cosmic_Link]

Hmmm, a little disappointed about the paper back art book. :( Also no numbering? >.< Looks like PAL territories got had again! >.< mine was shipped out today, so hoping that will be here for Friday. It is coming from France though. -_- Can't see it being here for release. :( Was also hoping the pre-order DLC codes would come on a nice card. :(

Will see what I think when it gets here.

[Dandaman]

Mine is on it's way for arrival tomorrow, really disappointed with what I see above. I dunno why they can't just make all the releases the same really, surely can't be that hard. Ah well, hopefully it's here for me coming home from work tomorrow and I can see for myself.

[Tubigdomo]

Was also hoping the pre-order DLC codes would come on a nice card. :(

I didn't get any DLC code, excluding the code for points on the namco bandai site.

Ah well, hopefully it's here for me coming home from work tomorrow and I can see for myself.

Looking forward to know what you think.

[Cosmic_Link]

It was just costume DLC and a PS3 Theme. Nothing too special. lol

Cress's (hero from Tales of Phantasia) Costume for Jude
Stahn's (hero from Tales of Destiny) Costume for Milla
PS3 theme

[Vikingo82]

It was just costume DLC and a PS3 Theme. Nothing too special. lol

By the way, not a stunning ps3 theme...expected a Mila's theme...

I'm dissapointed about the artbook hardcover...also that I had assumed the Day One Launch box was going to be inside besides the figure...not just the game case with the artbook...

But in my opinion I do prefer Mila's EU box than a white box whith a number...not so limited...huge amount of rhese CE...

Some kind of mixed feelings...

The Day One Launch Box isn't in the box? :S That kinda sucks! >.< my GF had that for pre-order on amazon for 33GBP then she cancelled when GAME UK listed the CE. Wish I told her to keep it now. :S

Yeah, I definitely like the Windowed box better. :D

Prob have to pick up the D1 Ed and the NTSC artbook later on then, me thinks. >.< Shame there were no pre-order bonuses anyway like there was for Tales of Graces. :(

I have reserved a copy of a D1 ed too, apart from Namco CE in case the D1 comes with hardcover artwork and in case the CE doesn't includes the D1 ed box...

At least with the Tales of Graces D1 ed they gave me a shirt for preordering it... :D

It says "Milla Maxwell Collectors Edition" on the cover of the case

From what I saw from D1 edition unboxings: It is softcover and has around 38 pages.

[THEREALDEALDUDE]

I got my collectors editions today am waiting for the limited edition to see the difference between the two.

Message me if you want to know if there is any difference :)

0.0 Jealous. I want that shirt. :( where was that a pre-order bonus for then? 0.o

[Vikingo82]

Game Spain...thought Game Uk had it also...

We're no used to have exclusives... :beg:

[Cosmic_Link]

Nah, GAME UK never had any pre-order bonus. Play.com had some pre-order postcards, but that was about it. :(

[kennyrh]

Not overly impressed I must say for 80 quid. Box had a dent in the corner which didn't start things off too well, then the softcover artbook was a disappointment as i was expecting a hard cover and was decidedly underwhelming - the kind of thing you get for cover price in some LEs.

Soundtrack in game-case and not seperate as depicted in pre-order banners.

The figure worth 40 quid then ??? . . . .meh !!!

Now that shopto have got it I just hope it doesn't end up as bargain bin in a few weeks like the Agarest 2 DeLuxe did.

Have to say if I'd been fore-armed with this info i wouldn't have bothered to pre-order it but, hey-ho, some you win . . . .

[Dandaman]

Just got home from work and unboxed my copy.

Not happy with the soft art book or the sound track in the game case. It feels like I've been had.

[Cosmic_Link]

Not liking people's comments so far. :( Have a bad feeling this will be bargain binned and am gonna regret my purchase! >.< Definitely sounds like there are more than the 10,000 run that was originally advertised! >.<

[vhal_x]

Yeah definitely, and we sure did get shafted compared to the US version... again xx

10.000 just for NA!!! They are the ones that receive the numbered figure edition...making some maths and thinking worldwide...this CE edition is absolutely ridiculous unlimited...

This CE will be a bargain soon...at least 60 Euros price drop in one month...for sure...

And not counting the day one edition that is so awful compared with the Tales of Graces one...

Totally sucks really...very upset with the distribution of this game...

[Tim81DE]

Hi guys,

I did a small review on the Collector's Edition over at Playstationcollecting.com. I'll post it here when I get some time, but for now here is a link:

http://playstationcollecting.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=68&threadid=109257&StartRow=2#top

[Vikingo82]

Pros of the EU CE:

* Mila's artwork box.
* Exclusive case written Mila's Edition on the Spine, also like the soundtrack in the same case...but would love a CD case too...

Cons:

* Not numbered figure box.
* Soundtrack included on the case and not on a CD case.
* Softcover Artwork.

Will wait for a drop price to get a NA CE edition and will resell the game.

So, I will have all the stuff I want mixed...will custom my own made Collector's Edition....hehehe...

[StayFree( ' 3')]

cancelled my order a day before it shipped. I feel I made the right choice. Might pick it up when the price goes down.

[Clusks]

Tempted to throw mine up on here or Ebay as I'm a little let down with the CE =( Wouldn't mind getting a bit of money together for the Bioshock vigor bottle too.

[Vikingo82]

By the way, the European Milla's CE figure comes numbered too...

Not only the NA Collector's Edition...

[vhal_x]

I didn't see any numbering? xx

[Tubigdomo]

Where is the number?

[Vikingo82]

Open Milla's box figure and look on the inside top...

[Cosmic_Link]

Open Milla's box figure and look on the inside top...

If that's right, I'm still not impressed. Lol number 021105 for me!! XD

[vhal_x]

Could that not potentially be some kind of... idk, ref. number rather than an actual number? Since it seems mighty high :/ I don't have mine here to check anyway xx

[Vikingo82]

Not sure...but at least finally we have a numbered box... :D

Don't know how didn't I saw it before...

[Cosmic_Link]

Could that not potentially be some kind of... idk, ref. number rather than an actual number? Since it seems mighty high :/ I don't have mine here to check anyway xx

That was what I thought originally too as it is just stamped onto the top inside lid. lol We'll see what other people say.

[Tubigdomo]

If that's right, I'm still not impressed. Lol number 021105 for me!! XD

Mine says 021305 - exactly 200 after yours lol

[kennyrh]

Mine's 21305 also . . .so bang goes that theory.

Just wondering how many the Namco Store actually sold before everybody got in on the act - probably about 100, mostly to the mugs here who thought it was an online exclusive :suicide:

Thanks for reassuring me! I wasn't too sure whether I was definitely a mug or not! :P

Kinda annoyed that I got sucked in for this as I have a bad feeling that this is gonna be on sale for atleast half the price before Christmas.

[kennyrh]

I have a bad feeling that this is gonna be on sale for atleast half the price before Christmas.

Long before then mate - end of October would be my guess. But it's certainly cured me of the pre-order bug. Cancelled all mine for the rest of the year apart from Fifa 14 GAME exclusive.

Finally learned the lesson . . .no pre-ordering unless I'm damned SURE it's gonna be limited.

[Cosmic_Link]

Yeah, I've been trying to do that for some time now, but so far have had little luck! XD

I thought this one would be limited though, as there was once a time where Tales games were quite limited. I should have known better after the recent reprints of current gen tales titles and the crap Namco-Bandai pulled with Ni No Kuni... -_-

[Tim81DE]

Maybe the numbers correlate with where you purchased it...?

[kennyrh]

Maybe the numbers correlate with where you purchased it...?

Don't think so, Tim. Mine's the same as a guy from Australia :scratch:

[vhal_x]

Definitely not actual numbering then, if people have the same number. Must just be some sort of serial code, maybe depending on which batch it comes from? xx

[kittychloe]

well if all the uk/aus people got the same number maybe a pal identifier?

[timtom]

Do you think it will worth more since it's sold out and had a limited quantity compared to other games? Two weeks after the release it's going for $140 or more when it was originally $99.99, so it will never go below $99.99....right?

[Letrico]

The thing with Tales games are they are always limited quantity. Even if they did it badly or not impressive, it will be rare eventually.

[kittychloe]

Soooo

Hi Chloe,

Thanks for the email and I hope you are loving the game. I'm guessing what you are talking about is the part number i.e. every component has a part or serial number for manufacture. I can't find anything to suggest that these were meant to be identified specific to the production qty of 10,000 i.e. copy 25/10,000.

Hope that helps, if you need to ask any more questions get back to me and I will do my best to answer.

Subject: Tales of xillia Limited edition 10,000 production run

Hi,

I recently got this edition and after trying to find a production number the only number than came up was on the inside of the box lid and was 021305 after talking to a few people in australia and the uk they all had the same number and a friend in the us had the number 021105

can you tell me what these numbers mean and if they have any bearing on the 10,000 production limit that was told to the consumers?

Sincerely
Chloe

[Tubigdomo]

Thanks Chloe for chasing that up. I guess it means that we have 10,000 disappointed European/Australian collectors out there lol

[kittychloe]

Sounds like its still 10k with no numbering

[Tubigdomo]

I'm less disappointed when I look at my Milla Maxwell Edition more. Being Australian, It would have been worse if we just got the 1st day edition. Even if the artbook is only softcover, it is still exclusive to this edition and, living in Australia, is extremely rare. The demand here is so high, they limited pre-orders from Jbhifi to 1 per customer. Plus the packaging for the figure is better than a white box.

[kittychloe]

Mine is at the post office lol, I'm guessing the numbers are for whether the box is printed or white? Too bad there is no actual production number on it

[Tubigdomo]

Yeah it seems all the MM editions have numbers unrelated to the production limit number

[Letrico]

I got both the MM edition and US CE and I must say EU's outer packaging sucks =/.

It is like how they shafted us with Ni No kuni. I would prefer the White Ni No Kuni box with flap cover at the front.

If only they give US CE outer packaging + hardcover artbook + jewelcase soundtrack + EU's MM figure that would be the best.

[kennyrh]

I got both the MM edition and US CE and I must say EU's outer packaging sucks =/.


Yes, I concur. My MM had a dent in the top corner and so did one of the two I saw in my local indie store.

I'm sad that an ?80 CE has been produced totally on the cheap because the publishers new it would be popular.

Still, at least my prediction that it would be half-price by October end seems to be way off, happily.

[razorfall]

Bandai's Store is back up, orders are filled by amazon (YAY PRIME!), and they have Tales of Xillia CE's for 99.99

Also first post, long time lurker :D
