[gurpswoo1]

Nintendo has recently tweeted (https://twitter.com/#!/NintendoUK/status/172315587698106368) that Pandora's Tower will get a Limited edition release. It will come in a cardboard box similar in size to both "Xenoblade" and "The Last Story" and contain the following:


Standard copy of the game

Steel book case (separate item)

32 Page Art book

Currently only Europe is confirmed to be getting this edition, there is no word as yet on Australia and New Zealand. It is currently scheduled for release on the 13th of April 2012.

nice!!

I wonder when this will become available for pre-order?

[nipperkipper]

Very nice, who would have thought the wii of all consoles would get a slew of JPRG's and europe to get exclusive LE's, how times have changed

[BallisticCrux]

Need to know where this can be pre-ordered!!!

This will probably be my last Wii game bought on pre-order so it better be worth it!

EDIT:

ah found it two seconds after posting, must be more patient.

[Anjelaoni]

Don't preorder at zavvi! :nono: There will be other options (so I hope for you...)

[BallisticCrux]

Why not,

I mean everyone has their own preferred retailer but let me say I have never had any trouble with Zavvi which I wasn't able to resolve.

Why don't you pre-order it at GAME ;) see how far you get

[Anjelaoni]

Never preorder from GAME either! LoL

[BallisticCrux]

Well I mostly do my business online with GAME but to be honest with the trouble they are having I am starting to spread myself over different sites incase they go under.

[gurpswoo1]

I agree very few collector's would recommend Zavvi, the only time zavi would be an option would be if they had a much lower price.

I will wait till others have the listing up, Also the price seem a little high, I expect it to be £40 or less.

Sorry, but what's wrong with Zavvi? except for people gotten damaged items with the Metal Gear Solid Ultimate Edition?, i've been ordering on Zavvi for quite a long time i may have done 100 orders there and even the Metal Gear Solid HD Ultimate Edition and everything was in perfect condition.

So trust me, Zavvi isn't all ''that'' bad. ;)

[gurpswoo1]

Zavvi are inconsistent with their packaging, and unfortunately there are a far higher number of collectors who have had bad experiences with zavvi than good ones.

That's not to say they are the worst, that is play.com and Axel music but if we were to rank the store by the average condition they turn up in, from all the members here. Zavvi would rank low.

This small item is likely to be placed in a box by zavvi so you may get better results but past experiences tell us not to be hopeful.

[rapidly-greying]

I said it on another thread that I too have never had a problem with zavvi,everything has been quick to arrive and in pristine condition.

I think people are quick to complain but you rarely hear from people that are happy with the service. This is probably why it seems like theres an excessive amount of zavvi hate.

For the record,i've never had a problem with play or amazon either and thats hundreds of orders.

The only problems i've ever had is from idiotic postmen jamming stuff through the letterbox when it clearly doesn't fit.

RING MY FUCKING DOOR BELL FOR FUCKS SAKE YOU MAIL STEALING/DUMPING FUCKTARD:-)

say it dont spray it

I can tell that Zavvi is the worst retailer I have found so far, at least when it comes to international sales. I've bought many things from them in the last couple of years but now what they did with Metal Gear Solid and the few last packages I got was mopre than enough to make me never buy from them again.

I've had problems with most of the stuff I ordered from them and some things take AGES to arrive. Amazon and a few other sites take a couple of days. Amazon does a brill job protecting their stuff and it's by far the best place for me to buy but Zavvi is terrible when it comes to pack items for international delivers - it ranks the lowest place on my list.

The only good thing about Zavvi (and, in fact, what still made me buy from them every now and then) was the price. Sometimes their prices are nearly unmatchable I think.

[Raasclark]

Its all down to your experience as a customer really.

Zavvi let me down big time with MGS so I'll find it hard to use their services ever again.

Shopto.net let me down on the first order I ever made with them nearly two years ago, it was for an edition I can't even remember now, but I remember it being sold out everywhere, and the copy I ordered apparently got 'lost'. But I've never ordered with them since because of that.

It's like ordering the chef's meal of the day which comes highly recommended by friends or so forth, only for a bowl of snot to arrive on your table, with some hairs in it... It would take something special to make you want to eat there again.

[rapidly-greying]

Apologies for the double post above,smart phone my arse :-)

[BallisticCrux]

Hey the internet is vast and varied, there are bound to be some bad and good online retailers in everyone's eyes. The point is you get to chose no-one is forcing you to do anything, besides if I ever get a bad delivery from a shop (which I have had numerous incidents of) I am always so much of a pain in the ass to their customer support that they never want to hear from me again.

[dlc28]

I ordered 2 MGS sets from Zavvi, one for PS3 and the other for XBOX360 both of which came perfect condition. though saying that both are still sealed so I have no idea what they look like on the inside.

I also recently got Resident Evil Revelations Bundle pack from them and this too arrived in perfect condition

The only problem I've had with zavvi was when my Mario All Stars Collectors Edition Wii came to me in a damaged state. I just sent it back and got a refund.

[vhal_x]

I've never had anything bad turn up from Zavvi, but I'm putting it down to extremely good luck considering most other people have at least one time that they have had a problem xx

Great! Gimme your address and I'll let them ship to you next time, so you can forward the item to me in a better package.

Yes, I'm partially joking.

[vhal_x]

I've got a huge feeling that my next thing from them is gonna be completely trashed though :( (MaxPayne3) xx

[BallisticCrux]

Its not that zavvi send perfect games (to be honest both of my MGS HD collections have been damaged, the 360 externally and both internally but that was due to poor package design which I sure we can all agree on)

Have any of you tried to contact support if you have had an issue?

[jugolicious]

Extremely beautiful box arts:

:drool: xx

[OniRyo]

They are beautiful indeed, the Pandora's Tower Limited Edition is getting in my collection for sure.

[surfdude73]

I had a problem with Zavvi over MGS but doesn't put me off, besides you can cancel pre order if you find it cheaper, sure you would all be pissed if you found out it was a zavvi exclusive and sold out, my last story arrived pristine from zavvi along with other stuff, can't comment on MGS as I never recieved it:think:

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Not that any of you will ever get the chance to order this from GAME, as they have announced that they will not be stocking it!

[OniRyo]

A new picture of the whole collection btw:

The steelbook looks amazing!.

[gurpswoo1]

Out of the last three Wii RPG I think Pandora has the best artwork,

[sleepwalker]

any place to pre-order it from except Zavvi?

[dlc28]

£39.99 at www.play.com

[Neilikki]

I don't want to order this from zavvi and play.com don't send to my location.
Why won't amazon.uk add this to their database already?

[gurpswoo1]

Yeah they sure are taking their time with this one,

Hopefully it's not too much longer.

[RyT]

waiting for this too.. I think this gameplay looks better than last story.. but then again both are equally good with equally good looking limited editions :D

[RyT]

http://www.ozgameshop.com/wii-games/pandoras-tower-special-edition-game-wii cheap :D:D hopefully it's the same edition 49.99 AUD XDXD

[sleepwalker]

WTF, order's are shipped from UK, cost cheaper with delivery to Australia, and yet you can't order to an address within UK for this price >_<

[gurpswoo1]

Wow great price also, nice find Ryt

[sleepwalker]

Wow great price also, nice find Ryt

Yeah, but that is only for Australian people :(

[RyT]

Yeah, but that is only for Australian people :(

use the main site.. 365games.co.uk

Ozgameshop is the sister site catered for AU customers..

EDIT: somehow the main site is expensive :S

[nipperkipper]

WTF, order's are shipped from UK, cost cheaper with delivery to Australia, and yet you can't order to an address within UK for this price >_<

The reason they dont sell within uk is because if they did they have to add 20% vat and the price is same as retail in uk then

[Neilikki]

God, why is amazon.uk so stubborn about not stocking it ? I want to pre-order already..

[Letrico]

I was thinking maybe ozgameshop put the wrong price on pandoras tower and placed my pre order already when it just came on listing.

It seems like it's the same edition since play.com stock the same product which includes the steelbook as well.

lol pretty sure they did.. but it's preorder price guaranteed so they can't chrge us extra :)

EDIT: the rep confirmed with me that it is indeed the limited edition and.. regarding the price.. they did not make any mistake lol

[Letrico]

even better =D first time we got price cheaper than buying anywhere else

[joynulk]

its now at hmv for £37.99

[gu8]

it will be everywere soon enough, even game might get a look in!!!

[RyT]

okk.. so I sent an email to OGS support team.. the rep on forum confirmed it is but the customer service rep from their website says it does not contain a premium steelbook and artbook.. apparently it's a different special edition which contains the soundtrack

I find this weird as no gaming website reported that a soundtrack is included.. only steelbook and artbook. Told her I'm gonna hold on to the preorder and hope she can double check with their supplier..

Meanwhile also made a preorder at hmv.com just in case..

[Raasclark]

£33.96 at amazon

[dlc28]

Boom!!!

Thanks for the tip. I just need to cancel my order with Play now.

[nipperkipper]

Great find, thanks!

Have ordered

[gurpswoo1]

Wow - another miss price by Amazon.

Thanks for info.

[vhal_x]

Ordered! Cancelled my order from Zavvi :) xx

[Neilikki]

Waah, finally! Thanks.

GAME have just announced that they have secured a batch of the Pandora's Tower LE, but only a limited amount:

http://www.game.co.uk/en/pandoras-tower-limited-edition-167904

They also said it's the last print run, so this might be your last chance to pick it up if you haven't already!

Still in stock at Amazon for £35

[surfdude73]

3 bastard days after release and zavvi have dropped it by £7, i have sent them an email asking for a price difference refund or I am sending it back, really is not fair

That's certainly not on, especially when you can send the item back and order another at the cheaper price. They should offer you a partial refund to save you (and them) the effort though

It's frustrating when GAME do this two weeks after a release, despite having a 30 day returns policy. Sometimes it's too much hassle to return an over-sized CE, and there's no telling that what you'll receive in exchange would be in the same condition, so that makes it a bit of a gamble. You'd think that they would offer a partial discount though if you complained, but I've tried several times and they say you have to return the item


You should think yourself lucky that you've got your Pandora's Tower LE - Three bastard days after release and I'm still waiting for mine to arrive... :(

This is a been a serious problem with many stores that sell Collector's Edition, for items that don't sellout they need to shift them so they drop the price.

How they never understand that the cost of paying for returns, processing and dispatch for second item is far more expensive than refunding the difference is beyond belief.

[vhal_x]

Yeah, have fun trying to get through to Zavvi CS, I've been on at them since the release of Ninja Gaiden 3 because they actually OVERCHARGED me, as oppsoed to dropping the price after release, and they just keep fobbing me off. It was only like £8 or something but still, it's the principle! xx
