Do you know what brand the headphones are?

I haven't seen this edition in Australia, but I hope they don't release another Pizza Box edition, lol :D

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Do you know what brand the headphones are?

I doubt they are anything good, like Sony or Sennheiser. No doubt they are some cheap unknown Chinese or Taiwanese make

Then again, it all depends on how much this Platinum Pack is due to retail for - Maybe they are decent cans, albeit for a premium price. Or maybe I was right on the nose with my former comment...

[gurpswoo1]

I agree with Gemini, at a price of $99 it's unlikely to be one of the better ones out there.

Especially given the fact that it can't be used with the PS3 or Xbox.

[twistedsymphony]

It's probably just headphones... ie: no microphone

but the photo does show the soundtrack as a Jewel case... I'm assuming the headphones are so you can listen to the soundtrack :lol:

also, I've added this to the database.

Pretty sad it's only for xbox360 ATM no ps3 yet :(

[Anjelaoni]

I just got a message from my retailer. It seems that the Platinum Pack was cancelled! The reason is sony himself, there are some problems in marketing and trademark protection, therefore it is cancelled for the PS3! Does anyone has the same message? Oh yes, for the PAL Version.

[fattyuk]

Not surprised with the PS3 due to them releasing there wireless headphones!

All I want is a nice steel book!

[gurpswoo1]

I haven't heard anything from the usual channels yet. Is it only PS3

http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/4-/24455082/Saints-Row-The-Third-Platinum-Pack/Product.html coming to blighty.

[fattyuk]

cheers ordered! 2% quid co if anyone uses it :)

[vhal_x]

Does it charge upon order or upon release? xx

[comaamen86]

play usaully charge about 5 days before release, in order to pack and post for release date. play are not great with getting it to you on release date, usually a day late for me, but it seems its a play exclusive so will have to order from them.

[fattyuk]

Why did they have release this over here though!! my bill for pre orders ATM for November is best part of £500 :(

[vhal_x]

As is mine, nearer £700 to be honest xx

[vhal_x]

And what's left of this month for me is almost £400 :facepalm: xx

[fattyuk]

how do you afford it all!?

[vhal_x]

Well it's both myself and my boyfriend who collect, so his wages help out a lot, and we had some money saved for some of these editions previously (and of course, as I'm a SAHM at the moment, I don't have to pay childcare costs, but as soon as I get back into education/work, I will - so I'll no doubt be getting less CEs then :rotf:) xx

[vhal_x]

Did anybody else preorder this from Play.com? Has your money been taken yet? Mine still hasn't been taken :S but my preorder is still showing as being okay in my account? So due to payment not being taken, I assume that it's not been dispatched, therefore I won't get it on release date :facepalm: xx

[fattyuk]

my payment was declined last night and haven't got round to changing card details if that's any help what so ever but re reading my own comment I don't think it is lol

[Resseh]

is it now sold out?

Sasha Grey who does voiceover for this visited some elementary school in america. All we had at my school was wolf from Gladiators :(

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2060429/Porn-star-Sasha-Grey-invited-school-read-graders.html

[vhal_x]

Mine's just hasn't been taken whatsoever :shrug: I'm so confused :( xx

[fattyuk]

Just changed card details and it says payment successful processing in warehouse for dispatch.

[fattyuk]

What does ‘Processing in Warehouse’ mean?
Payment for your order has been successfully processed.
Your order is now being prepared for dispatch.

[vhal_x]

WTF!? That's not fair at all. I'm pissed now. :( xx

[vhal_x]

Processing in warehouse means that they'll be picking it for dispatch :( xx

[vhal_x]

How could you change your payment details anyway? There's no option for that? xx

[fattyuk]

Touch wood Ive been having a fairly large amount of luck recently.

Ordered sonic CE Sunday before release and received early.
Ordered 2 MW3 Hardened editions from game but only got charged for one.
Recieved AC revalations animus edition last thursday!

Tbh vhal my status changed instantly that I changed my card details although I'm assuming it's just an automated change on the page and nothing set in stone.

[fattyuk]

I got an email from them last night as my original card was declined so I had the option of changing payment details :)

[vhal_x]

Jammy git, I want to cry, because I was so looking forward to getting my Platinum Pack tomorrow :(

Be warned, if GAME notice they've only charged you for one, they'll just take the second payment without notice xx

[vhal_x]

When did you order fatty? It'll tell you in your order history xx

[fattyuk]

Not when the card that is linked to my game account is penniless without an overdraft and any transactions get declined (like my saints row order) lol.

Tbh I didnt even realise it was released tommorow lol been so wrapped up in all my other new games to remember! Oh and my new 51inch 3d telly lol although I don't get glasses till tommorow - then ill be replaying uc3 :D

[fattyuk]

9th October vhal.

[vhal_x]

Same as me, I ordered like the second I saw it on this thread :rotf: xx

[vhal_x]

Cancelled my bloody US order to order it aswell :/ xx

[fattyuk]

lol I did have it ordered with hmv for some strange reason till I saw this thread!

what platform did you order though as I've ordered PS3 which is still on their site but you can't purchase it and I can't see the Xbox version

[vhal_x]

Ah, see I've ordered the Xbox360 version, and you can only see it on the site if you click through from the order page, so maybe that's why... They better bloody have it :/ xx

[vhal_x]

http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/4-/24455082/-/Product.html link :) xx

[Resseh]

booo. i want to order it :(

[vhal_x]

Boo! I hope I still get it :/ xx

[fattyuk]

there it is lol maybe it sold out quicker? who knows ay but I'm sure everything will be fine!

[vhal_x]

They emailed me back saying they have no more stock left to fulfill my order. Even though I preordered months ago and it's still showing in my account as preordered.

Why is it always me that they fuck up with?

FML.

Severely not happy now. I'm like so fucking pissed. And to top it all off I've got the fucking orthodontist today.

Even more, FML.

Meh.

[surfdude73]

Why is it always me that they fuck up with?

.

I think there is a conspiracy against you, can you really trust people around you, lol

I still haven't recieved sonic generations and amazon state it has been delivered, I haven't had a missed delivery or signed for it, hope i'm not on the same ship as you:suicide:

[vhal_x]

Yeah, they've all just ganged up on me, goddamn moneygrabbers >_> :rotf: xx

[Saturn]

I missed this Saints Row preorder so I'm stuck as well. But on the other hand even if I preordered it I wouldn't be able to pay right now. So I'm not that worried :P.

Let's see how many will be up on ebay.

Out of curiosity, how much was the original price for that, vhal? The price no longer appears on play.com and I'd like to make sure I'm not paying too much if I decide to buy it somewhere else.

[fattyuk]

unlucky vial thats aright shitter! Dunno who asked as on my phone but the price waswas 79.99. And without rubbing it in mines been dispatched.

[vhal_x]

Beyond raging. Fucking piece of shit company.

Again, meh.

Meh'd beyond belief. I shall go sulk in a corner now :rotf:

[vhal_x]

After a long and laborious message (or messages, rather) to Play.com's Customer Service and a few phonecalls, they have managed to secure me a copy :D

FUCK YEAH.

So thrilled right now, it is about to be dispatched :D xx

[Biggav4000]

Mines been dispatched too :clap:

[fattyuk]

I'm just worried on how on earth I'm ment to actually find time to play this lol

[vhal_x]

Me too, too many games, too little time :rotf: xx

[vhal_x]

Dispatched :bananayes: xx

[fattyuk]

I reckon after all of this I couldpout money on you getting yours in the morning and me waiting about 2 weeks for it turn up lol

[vhal_x]

Yeah, I'm hoping mine turns up fast xx

[fattyuk]

Hope mine turns up before the weekend can't wait to play this game literally!

[fattyuk]

WOW

What a terrible CE lol

[vhal_x]

Why terrible? xx

[fattyuk]

It doesn't come in the window box like the other versions,but a plain grey box with saints row printed on the front :(

[vhal_x]

Is that all that's terrible about it? It doesn't seem so bad xx

[fattyuk]

Just dissapoonted I think, wil bel flogging this and picking up the US version ASAP!

[Matrix6]

I don't know why they released this headset when it doesn't work for gaming :S

[fattyuk]

I don't know why they released this headset when it doesn't work for gaming :S


works with my turtle beach DSS :)

[Matrix6]

well, it's not an out of the box headset for those who were wanting to use it for that purpose. And does the "voice box" effect work when in game?? Either way, it's a bit mean to release it in this manner. I'd rather have the Astro SR3 theme headset :drool:

[vhal_x]

Fatty, my box does have the windows :s xx

[fattyuk]

Fatty, my box does have the windows :s xx

lol I have wondered why the pictures for the Xbox and ps3 where diffrent... know I no why :( I'll get a pic up when I can!!

[vhal_x]

That's weird... I'll try and get photos up later too, but I've got visitors coming over so might not manage it :) will definitely get some up tomorrow though xx

[SquirrelRaper]

lol I have wondered why the pictures for the Xbox and ps3 where diffrent... know I no why :( I'll get a pic up when I can!!

Wait which console did you get it for? I was going to get the PS3 version but I saw it in the store and it is coll but they look like $15 head phones XD They definitely waiting on a price drop on this. XD

Am I the only one that got the "Maximum Pleasure edition? It's so silly.

[Matrix6]

Am I the only one that got the "Maximum Pleasure edition? It's so silly.
I got it as well, only because I thought the "Smooth Criminal Edition" was overpriced. I got a copy of the soundtrack as well [pretty lame], plus...and more importantly, I got a copy of the case cover of the picture for the box;

this one;
http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/rkt/MEDIUM//44/21/4421607.jpg

So now I have both the standard cover and that pic above^^ :bananayes:

[vhal_x]

I want the smooth criminal edition and the maximum pleasure edition, hmph. Why must I always want to buy everything :rotf: xx

[Matrix6]

I can't see either editions selling out and will most likely go on sale around xmas.

At the rate you're going V, you shall soon realize the answer to your very question ;)

[vhal_x]

Yeah, I'm hoping that next year will be easier for me (since I'm gonna save all year so I don't have to worry, and can get all the editions I want :D) as the tough decision making between editions is so heartbreaking (LOL!) xx

[SquirrelRaper]

I dont think the Maximum Pleasure edition is for sale any more though. I dont see it on Jbhifionline anymore.

[Pielord]

Just received my plantium pack from amazon without any dents packed really well for once and for £50! So sending back my horribly dented copy back to play! Every bloody year I have a problem with them! Really advise against them to be honest!

[Resseh]

they were selling it for £50? :o

[Pielord]

Yeah got it on the black friday deals :D

[Matrix6]

I could get one for $100 now [PS3 or Xbox360 version], but I think I'll pass anyway :) xx

[kennyrh]

Just snagged one of these from Amazon at £35. It's an absolute steal at that price because apart from the Soundtrack Cd and headphones you get the "Genki DLC" version of the game which is very scarce now in sealed condition.

Anyhow, for anybody interested heres a few HQ pics of my PS3 edition.
