lol the one u got off me.... lol...

Actualy, I'll keep the one I've got from you, since I've opened it!

This one, I've managed to get here, but i was thinking in keeping one sealed. Unfortunately, I've lost some incoming in my pay check, and the next month will be tough. So I'll stop collecting for some months and will probably sell some items that I'm not that interested to clear my debts.

Probably in July I'll return to my usual life! LOL

Bump!

It's upsetting how expensive this edition is going for when it's not even numbered or hard to find. Your price is generally fair in comparison to everyone else, but it's just so darn inflated. Wish I could snatch it up.

[evilvort3x]

not sure about us edition.. uk one VERY limited though s far as i know!

[Idiotekque]

The US edition is going for just as much as the UK one in general. Another factor in the price I imagine is the fact that PAL and NTSC versions individually do not play on the other system. FFXIII wasn't locked, so PAL version works on NTSC systems and vice versa, but not FFXIII-2.

The price may ebb down to lower levels if more Crystal Editions are released, but at the moment what is out there is limited, but not on the same level as a numbered release. It's just in high demand I guess, which is funny because the only extra you're getting in the Crystal Edition is a very simply designed t-shirt. The Collectors Edition has everything, bar the shirt.

So basically you're paying a hundred pounds or so for a shirt. It's beyond me why the price has so dramatically inflated.

You're forgetting the nice box it comes in too... :P

I've sold one, through ebay to a member of the forum, for 165£ + shipment, since I'm offering the pre-order case, that I didn't have for the other one, I'm putting 5£ extra in the price.

I've seen pre-order boxes on ebay selling for more then 50£, so I thought it was fair the price it for this value.

Like the box that was mentioned above, this edition have the complete OST of the game. I don't think there was any CE from S-E that brought the complete OST.

[Idiotekque]

When it comes to any collectors edition item you don't pay over a hundred dollars or pounds for a neat box (it's an extremely plain box too). The shirt doesn't even have color. That makes its production even cheaper.

I take back what I said about the US edition though, as there is none. US got the Collectors Edition (which is 90% the same, basically), but no Crystal Edition. Still, I see this edition selling all over the place, meaning it's not really that rare, just way too expensive.

In any case, if anyone has an Xbox 360 as well, you can save a lot of money on this. I don't know why the PS3 version is going for so much more.

Yeah you're right, the Crystal Edition came with the complete 4 Disk OST. The Limited Edition only came with 1 disk of selected tracks from the OST.

[Idiotekque]

Actually it looks like the "Limited Collectors Edition" only featured a "composer selected soundtrack CD". The "Collectors Edition" also has the complete four-disc OST.

[Dark-Vash]

As far as I know, this edition is now sold out everywhere, so ebay pricing is ruling... I've seen this happening a lot of times.

About the Xbox version being cheaper, well, it seems that fans do prefer playing FF on the Playstation. I could choose the Xbox one when I bought the 1st one, instead I paid more for the PS3 version...

Just Like Mass Effect, I'll buy the Xbox version, even though it's going to be available on PS3!

[Idiotekque]

I guess it just comes down to preference. I prefer everything on the 360, but that's only because its controllers are so damn comfortable. :P

Anyways, the "Limited Collectors Edition" is the UK's CE for FFXIII-2, and it only comes with a one disc selective OST. The "Collectors Edition" is NA's CE, and it comes with the four disc OST.

No more confusion, lol.

Yeah, I liked the look of the US Collectors Edition. Looked really smart! :D I forgot that they were different per region! lol

[Idiotekque]

The US usually gets screwed over when it comes to CEs. We didn't even get a CE for FFXIII! In this case I suppose we didn't get screwed too badly. The Collectors Edition is worlds cheaper than the Crystal and almost identical. Oh well.

[Dark-Vash]

In terms of content, yes the US CE is almost identical, although the Crystal has a bigger box, and it's very sturdy. The items came very well placed in it!
Here's some comparative videos:

I never meant to downplay the Crystal Edition, I just think it's overpriced at this moment in time. In the end, it is the most extensive edition there is for this game, even if the difference isn't grand.

I know, i was just trying to state the differences between them.
I actually like the US CE, if I could I probably would buy it, but right now its not possible.

I've spent a lot of money on games this month, reached the limit of my credit card and I don't want to be worrying about not having any money for an emergency. So my plans right now is stop buying games until July, pay my debt save some money, and then start getting what I might miss in the process! :v:

[Idiotekque]

I know what you mean. I sell a lot of stuff, but I also buy way too much stuff that "I'm going to sell". As you can imagine, I don't always sell it.

I'm in the process of buying a limited edition European Automotive Color PS2 Console, and I promised myself that would be my last big purchase for awhile, but as we speak I'm looking to bid on a lot of games on eBay.

See you in the poor house, bro. :D

[Matrix6]

Not true at all, the PS3 version [or a PS3 game from any region for that matter] will work on all PS3 consoles. And the RRP for either version were not similar at all, not that close at all actually.

[Idiotekque]

I was referring to the Xbox 360 version. Everyone knows the PS3 has no region locking; the 360 does sometimes and sometimes not.

As for the retail prices, I don't know what you're talking about. When you could get any of the versions in stores they were all priced the same as anything else. Standard editions for $50-60, Collectors for $10-20 more, etc. I was talking about new inflated third party prices.

There's no Crystal Edition for North America though, so what I said before doesn't really apply anyways.
