This is looking very nice, why is it only USA and France that are getting it.

Wow, this is looking cool!
Normally, i hate buying games locally, when they are localized, but I just made an exception, since they sell it here for less than £45 PLUS the first 1000 copies are numbered! W00t. They are supposed to inform us of the numbers tomorrow, I wonder which number did I get.
Here is hoping the game has double audio :V

I'm confused, where are you pre-ordering this in the UK.

Also I see no mention of a numbered release

I got it preordered from Amazon.fr - they ship to UK xx

01-27-2012, 11:47 AM
Ah I see, In that case I will wait for UK site to get pre-orders . Unless it is a French exclusive.

vhal_x
01-27-2012, 11:48 AM
I preordered just to be on the safe side, if a UK retailer gets it I'll cancel my French order and order from the UK :)

It works out to around (just under) £75 with shipping from Amazon.fr xx

I'm confused, where are you pre-ordering this in the UK.

Also I see no mention of a numbered release

It says here (http://www.gram.pl/news_8AjqJO23_Wiedmin_2_Edycja_Rozszerzona_i_Wiedm in_2_Mroczna_Edycja_zawarto_wyda_ceny_bonusy_Zamw_ ju_teraz_w_sklepie_gram_pl.html) that the whole edition is numbered and that the first 1000 goes to the people that ordered it at gram.pl, in accordance to the order time (so the first person who pre-ordered gets number #1 etc), and that the rest of the copies (after the first 1000) are going to be spread randomly.
The number was supposed to be shown in your order details from today, but they changed it to Feb 1st now.
It's true that there is no mention about numbering on the international site, though. I don't know why.
What also isn't mentioned on that site (and is at gram.pl) is that the big box with wolf's head is actually supposed to be something like lenticular (I'm not sure exactly, but they use the word "relief")

Also, I definitely wouldn't worry about it being exclusive to anyone.

I hope that happens, because i dont want to order a french edition with everything in French.

Not gonna happen as I said, also the French version will get at least English audio and a bunch of subtitles.

EDIT (I mean, it being exclusive in France is not gonna happen, sorry, I'm being confusing :< )

01-27-2012, 10:18 PM
Yeah same, I prefer amazon myself as I've been a loyal buyer for years :D
Best Buy only list the Enhanced version as well, so far only Gamestop is showing the Dark[Sith] Edition on their site!?

I'll probably cave and just get it locally whenever they put it up as Gamestop will charge me no less than $35 to ship it here. :s

Might sound stupid abit, but i ordered ''Dark edition'' first time from Amazon.Fr site on last night, and I was thinking bout the game content it self, like is audio/sub's in french or in english as usually?

gurpswoo1
01-28-2012, 11:09 AM
It's likely English subs, there is a chance for English dub but no confirmations at this early stage. The book and contents is more than likely in French.

The Enhanced Edition looks like just a tacky "Day One DLC" edition. However, I ordered the Dark Edition from GAME as I am just a sucker for big heavy CE's which take up loads of space in my game room! :D

Neilikki
01-31-2012, 10:01 PM
How do you know the number of yours? xx

Because they were supposed to be shown in the order details, if you ordered on gram.pl, since Feb 1st, but somehow they managed to get them earlier. I checked today and Bam, it's there.

(It says under the game title: Your unique collector's edition number: 327)


Yeah, i thought so.

Then i just hope it won't be exclusive to them!

I already place an order om amazon france but i want it in english...

You mean the game itself, or packing? Because, if it's about the game, I think the French version will feature English text and audio, since the German version has the audio in English, French and German and a lot of subtitles additionally.

sarasouls
01-31-2012, 10:13 PM
Yeah i was referring to the packaging itself...

And also it's cheaper from GAME than amazon france for instance!

How much did you pay for yours Neilikki?

Well, then that's worse. But maybe there is still hope? I don't think it says anywere on game's site that it's their exclusive, and I think they try to shove this information inside your brain everytime they do gain an exclusive deal for something.
Also, you could order from USA (or Australia), maybe? If the game is released at the same time it shouldn't be region locked.

Oh, and I'm going to pay about £41/€49.

Matrix6
02-01-2012, 12:09 AM
I'm a little worried that it may be region locked, though the chances of that is slim I hope.

Anyway, as of right now, The Dark Edition is not listed on any Aussie retailer and only GAMEAus has the game listed at all! Hopefully by the end of the week the Dark Edition will be up for pre-order...I'm guessing EB will have 'exclusivity' for that!? :S

I avoid buying from outside of EU because of customs when it cames to large and expensive stuff!

Can you tell me where are you ordering from? Cause i'm paying almost 90€

Neilikki
02-01-2012, 12:33 AM
Oh, I know that feel.
Well, I'm ordering from a polish site, so it wouldn't really solve your problem of it being in foreign language that is not English, on the package.

ahhh, yet another great CE enslaved by the leper called GAME. They're drowning in debt and the jury's out whether they'll survive 2012 and yet, somehow, they get these exclusives (ME3, this, whoknows what else...) and of course, ramp up their prices as high as they can. f***, I'm so pissed of at that store...

Given GAME's recent troubles, you guys may want to start looking for alternative retailers which stock this, and keep them bookmarked in case of a sudden last minute cancellation...

Hopefully this shouldn't be affected, and I'm hoping that they sort their issues out come the new tax year

If the rag doesn't match the size of the drapes then it's not much use, may as well go to JayJay's lol. Dgital Comics, not sure how that works or how much they charge on Xbox LIVE...never bought anything from there :S

I'm also have a tough choice of where to get Ghost Recon FS CE...JB @109 or MightyApe @ 95 [shipped]. That's a savings of $14 but neither have any pre-order incentives?! [yet]

I just checked my GAME.UK account and realised that I haven't cancelled my order of the Dark Edition from them!! :rotf:

wow.. nice.. but.. one thing though.. they might cancel near release date if the item is 1 kg and above..pretty sure this is quite heavy as well. that's what happened to my crystal edition..

I had it preordered and even had it delivered to UK member here.. but guess what.. they email me 'sorry this item is too heavy to ship out to Australia therefore resulting in cancellation'. They didn't even bother checking the delivery address. I replied saying I am having it shipped to UK address.. they ignored my email completely.. No reply till now..

I'm pretty keen for it, don't cancel it.. but I think we can try forward it to UK member here again..

Matrix6

Hmmm....wow, what an ass they've been to you. :facepalm:
GAME.UK online in my honest opinion are ignorant basterds! They're unforgiving and relentlessly ignorant. And yet when they make the mistakes they still hold their noses up.
I've had cancellations by them before without giving me a chance to fix anything up.

Now according to amazon, the game itself weighs around 8 ounces [235grams], with all the contents and the thick A4 size art book it looks like it'll most likely weight heavier than 1kg?? S: But I"m not 100% on that.
http://www.vgzero.com/game-news-image-2012-11f36fbebb8ab56a6a3c92e0bd588788.png

It's up to you though, I'll keep it until 10 days before release, I wouldn't want them to charge me 7 days before release if they permit it to be shipped here.

Dark Edition will receive extra items in their big, fancy box. In addition to the quest book and world map included in the standard version of the game, the Dark Edition includes a making-of disc and original soundtrack, a 200-page art book, wolf's head witcher medallion, and some stickers.

With a large size 200 page art book, this will definitely weigh a fair bit! 4 disc, metallic necklace and other smaller books...yeah, fat chance GAME will let this ship to here.

I think they've been pretty bollocks long before then, I've had problems with their incompetency since 2009! :S

And we're from Australia, we're not about to waste money on calling them...they should put up a live chat line like some other online sites.

i'm pretty sure will be the same case with this.. but then again.. my order for crystal edition just disappeared suddenly.. way before release date.. it was their site error.. let's see how this goes

Perhaps we should change the delivery address asap and also email them about it right after. And if they stuff up we'll sue them on the Fifth Amendments!! :rotf:


EDIT: Although, GAME UK may cease to exist before this game is out!?
So it may become ME3 CE all over again! :lol:

The box looks so damn awesome and it comes with a keychain from Gamestop for pre ordering.

Also it was up on Amazon but sold out so fast it was take down.

Only just seen this thread now but i've been wondering about this for awhile now - i've had the Dark Edition on order since it was announced but it's chance of coming from GAME has been looking very slim of late - even more so now...

With GAME going into administration this week, it seems unlikely that they will be stocking The Witcher 2 Dark Edition on the 17th of April.

I have contacted Namco-Bandai via Twitter asking them whether they have any details on whether this edition will still be available, and if so, what retailers will be stocking it

i've a good mind to order one from Amazon now just in case GAME don't pull off the Dark Edition - at least i'll have a signed regular edition :)

04-03-2012, 03:18 PM

davidw
04-03-2012, 03:20 PM
Yeah i'd rather have the Dark Edition than the signed regular one - if GAME can't sell it they will just sell them elsewhere hopefully at Amazon so we can get signed Dark Editions! :)

yeah it does seem to be getting closer to the time - it'll be this week we hear something i reckon any later and they are pushing it for getting the actual stock to whoever is going to sell it - another point where actually is all that stock now then? in some warehouse somewhere like at the end of Raiders of the lost ark :)

Just a heads up for those who don't know. You can grab a DRM free copy of The Witcher 2:Enhanced Edition if you own it already on either platform for absolutely nothing from GOG.com on 17/04/2012.

just got the email to say it has been shipped - well they word it in a way that you don't know if it actually has been shipped or is *being* shipped but anyway that's good news - no tracking number though which i thought was odd as it a big package maybe not as big as the PC CE but still too big for your postman to bring it....

EDIT - my bad it does actually confirm shipping as it says "Your order has been despatched and will be delivered soon." but to be honest this being GAME they could say anything really :)

True that but JB still have some stock left online. With preorder digital comic too

Matrix6
04-16-2012, 02:12 PM
Well, MGS HD LE didn't sell out during its pre-order stage, it did quickly disappear within weeks after release. But there were never any intention of Konami releasing a specifically AU/NZ printed boxes for it.

Whereas The Witcher 2 being distributed by MicroSoft is quite different, as it's also 'exclusive' to the Xbox360 console.

Anyway, we'll all soon find out tomorrow. I'll post a pic of mine when I get it.

04-17-2012, 09:14 AM
@Letrico When you get your DE from JB, could you enquire about the pre-order bonus Comic DLC?

My JB reckons it's packed into my DE! :???:
I'm not opening mine so I won't know for sure?! But I'm also not convinced it's in there, I reckon they just haven't received it yet?? Please confirm...something :S


EDIT: It's technically "rare" due to the censored game disc, but then again, it's basically the Enchanced Edition packed within and every other future copies on the shelf will also just be a censored version....not exactly the rare type of CE I want :lol:

Letrico
04-17-2012, 09:16 AM
Sure. Im on my way there from work now. Let you know in 20-30 minutes. But im not surprised if its inside because my robin dlc in batman ce was packed inside too

Matrix6
04-17-2012, 09:21 AM
yeah but the Robin Edition was 'exclusive' to JB, this is just the one version of the DE that all our [3] gaming stores got. Bad enough we missed out on the tshirt from GAME :(

Didn't care for the EBGames Avatar bonus, they should've given us the bonus Mouse and Pad that they offered last year for the PC version! lol

nice - was going to get that but cancelled as it wasn't worth it for me since i was getting the Dark Edition as well - seems the definition of stupidity to get a game that i've already bought that was the same and wouldn't never be played just because it had been signed - no matter how rich someone is that just seems pointless to me...

My Dark Edition just arrived 5 minutes ago whilst I was on here whinging about Pandora's Tower. Will report back later when I've opened it :)

Got my Dark Edition today plus the T-shirt from Game. I was really surprised, game sent the edition with dhl express and air cushions :nosleep:
This thing weighs more than 1kg! I don't know if GAME would have shipped it to us...well, they shouldn't be as it's against their policy!? :this:

Stupid.brutal lady damaged my seal. Anyway some good guy gave me a card about the comic but no codes. Just a website

Edit
Seal is completely destroyed. Might as well open it now.

Edit2
Dammit was hoping it will be some hidden imported copy of game inside but stupid ma15 rating
I heard that the CD soundtrack has Polish text written all over it! Can you confirm? :secret:

No fatalities this time, thank God! The plastic slipcover is a bit warped due to the shrinkwrap, but nothing serious

It's a nice looking CE indeed! The effect on the front is nice, but at the expense of having a CE that is twice as deep as it really needed to be. A little deceiving for those who have actually opened theirs I bet.

It's also quite heavy, which is to be expected. It's roughly the same size H x W as the Fallout: New Vegas, AC: Brotherhood Codex Edition, or AC: Revelations Animus Edition, but a lot deeper. I was actually half expecting a CE similar to the Warhammer 40k: Space Marine CE

All in al, good work from Namco-Bandai! HollieB has also promised an unboxing video as soon as she manages to get her grubby little paws on a copy, so that'll be worth looking forward to! ;)

You can risk it to get the biscuit, or you can get one now albeit a bit more than the $79 you missed out on.

Anybody had a delay receiving their UK copy form GAME yet? Its been 5 days since it was shipped 1st class.

This is really annoying as they also let me down on my Castlevania Collectors Edition preorder before too....

and theyve JUST soldout online for the Witcher DE, something that I preordered way back in February....:sorry:

Thanks a lot GAME

I've not received mine either Scoop, where in the UK are you if you don't mind me asking?

It's doing my head in tbh xx

EDIT: A lot of members HAVE received theirs though, so it's not every copy that seems to be delayed xx

I'm down in Portsmouth. IT bugs me that they put a monopply on the GAME distribution (e.g) exclusive rights, then they fail to provide.

My hoo-haa over Castlveania CE God mask was down to them not deciding as to whether how many they should stock for distribution....so eventually the UK PAL was only made up of a production run of 200 in the end. Konami were not happy as they couldn't get another mask production run done for the UK boxed editions....as GAME has dilly dallied around, so another fail, thanks GAME.

04-18-2012, 05:01 PM
ahh i see - not to be funny but didn't you notice you ordered it? at the checkout or the emails they spam you with or the larger than normal total - or was it a fault of GAME themselves? i'm really not trying to be funny just wondered :)

04-18-2012, 05:03 PM
He ordered it ages ago, and hadn't realised he still had it on order, only realised once it showed up at his house xx

davidw
04-18-2012, 05:05 PM
Ahh in that case fair point - i'd assume that is a fairly regular thing for collectors really - with all the pre orders and usually far away release dates it could be easy to forget about stuff - on the other hand it is a very nice surprise when something you forgot about does appear! ha

I've got my package from Gamestation.co.uk(Dark Edition) yesterday which is also a part from GAME?, And i'm from the Netherlands here so no problem at all, probably i ordered quite on time too :p

And indeed seems there are a lot of other signatures from different people.

That's deliveries of this from Yodel, TNT and Royal Mail so far, so mine could be with any of them.

Oh, God - I hope it comes soon :( xx

I received 2 copied of Signed Enhanced Edition, both mint and perfect condition. These were supposed to be "hand-signed by the CD Projekt team".

As you can see from the pics that its signed by 2 people? Was it supposed to be signed by entire team or just couple of developers?

Each copy has one of a bunch of signatures, just a shame you didn't get two different sigs xx

How many signatures did you have on your copies mate?

I know V, this sucks so bad :(

Probably, I will get rid of 1 copy on ebay later, hopefully should increase in value since its a signed copy.

vhal_x
04-19-2012, 01:22 PM
I think each copy has only one signature (means that obviously everyone didn't have to sign 1000's of copies, maybe just a couple of hundred each)

See if you haven't received your copy yet, what do you think the chances will be of contacting Amazon for a replacement and still getting a signed copy?

Not having any luck with The Witcher 2 editions right now :( xx

I think just contact Amazon straight away, you can chat with CS, I have always found them helpful. Tell them the situation and ask them to ship you another signed copy, before they run out of stock. I would act fast.

vhal_x
04-19-2012, 01:34 PM
Just contacted them and was told nothing can be done until the estimated delivery date has passed (that's tomorrow) so after the mail has been tomorrow, if it hasn't arrived, I'll be straight back onto them :)

Thanks for the advice questate! :D xx

questate
04-19-2012, 01:37 PM
Sure V, anytime :D

Well, couldn't you order another copy of the Enhanced edition, via Amazon CS and just tell them that you want the signed version. If you receive the earlier ordered copies, you can always return it for a refund. Just to be on a safer side :)

Bloody hell. GAME can't do anything for me today either. They said they can't do anything until 10 working days has passed from shipment date, she said that will be on the 24th :facepalm: So if it hasn't showed up by then I've to phone for a refund or replacement.

I asked, "will a replacement even be possible considering it's sold out online" and she said that they may receive returns so yes it may be possible.

I think if it gets to that then I'll be requesting a refund LMAO. Don't want to risk getting battered up stock ! xx

THe GAME CS is worst in this regard, actually in all regards for that matter. Sorry to hear about your luck regarding CEs this month V, hopefully the next month will come with more luck, and better sunshine too :)

04-19-2012, 02:26 PM
Yeah, hoping next month is much better, especially as most of the stuff I've got ordered for next month are for my boyfriend's birthday (17th May) haha :haha:

This month has definitely been my worst in terms of collecting:

- Told that I'd be charged upon release of Guild Wars 2, was charged upon ordering, meaning I had to borrow money from my mum to pay bills, and when I complained, all I got was a "sorry we gave you the wrong information but nothing can be done now".
- Got charged twice (once on each bank card linked to my GAME account) for the Dark Edition meaning I had to borrow MORE money from my mum.
- Enhanced Edition ain't showed up.
- Dark Edition ain't showed up.

I pray to God that there's no more trouble left for me this month.

Dear Gods of gaming, please send me a bit of luck now, in that I receive lots of money and editions out of the blue? Maybe make my orders show up, but that they accidentally packed 3 or 4 of each into the package by accident? :beg: xx

04-19-2012, 02:34 PM
