View Full Version : Assassins Creed III SteelBook and First Edition Rumor

I went to pickup my Mass Effect 3 Collector's Edition yesterday and to my surprise GameStop was giving away sealed G1 sized SteelBook cases with pre-orders for Assassin's Creed III on 360, PS3, and PC. The deal doesn't seem to be specific to GameStop as Amazon.com (http://collectorsedition.org/wp-admin/www.amazon.com/Assassins-Creed-III-Playstation-3/dp/B0079NGSHU/ref=aurobius-20) is also offering SteelBooks as a pre-order bonus. The Clerk also seemed to think that there was going to be a First Edition upgrade announced soon, similar to the Signature Edition for AC Revelations.

maybe not this specific version, but I wouldn't be surprised if you got your own variation of this.

besides I think this makes up for the fact that North America didn't get a CE for AC Revelations :(

I guess your right, you got the signature edition which is a waste of time.

We will just have to wait for some announcements.

This is so right. all the AC steels are amazing. I actually love the FS black steelbook, i'd say its one of my fav's. If I were to pick a bad one it'd be the AC2 stickerbook.

It's strictly limited in numbers and only available until stocks last! So obviously, if you want it, pre-order a copy of the game [only standard copies available atm], then when the EB 'exclusive' CE becomes available, just upgrade to that and you will then get the book come release day!!! :bananayes:

Cheeky buggers at EB games didnt give me my book when i pre-ordered,they said we dont have any yet. They also forgot to give me my carrots to,lol.
Personally i dont think the book is a great pre-order bonus considering what you spend & even wrote to EB games to complain about how pathetic it is.
The email i got back simply stated we will try to address your concerns sorta bs. I would have thought that pre-order bonuses would be something worthy by now & not so rubbishy as a book. The steelbooks,fantastic & i cant wait to get mine. Only bummer was the postage cost me more than the steel book,the steelbook cost me $1.50 but postage was $18,go figure,lol

Matrix6
03-24-2012, 07:36 PM
I think the possible reasons of why the EB you pre-ordered didn't have any book instock was perhaps they'd already run out of copies? I don't know of when you did yours, but they were limited in quantity per store and only for a limited time. I did mine by the next day it was announced to make sure I didn't miss out. Although it's a relatively "cheap" pre-order incentive [it also only cost $10 for the novel], my intention is more of a preemptive preorder which I'll upgrade to their inevitable traditional "exclusive" edition at a later date. If I'm "forced" to purchase something for them I will take advantage of whatever they have to offer free from now until the day I collect! [and if anything...I could just cancel my preorders...free books yay! :lol: ]

As for your email/response from them, much luck I will pray for you...a decent excuse they'll give :S

Imagine if the US steelbook either becomes a preorder bonus from JB or GAME or as part of one of the CE they'll release later?!? Wouldn't you be soooo peeved?? :P :rotf:

Was told by them,order & get a free book,i think it even states that on the receipt i have somewhere. I dont usually buy from eb games due to their pricing etc but,you can get some bargains etc if you time it right & no what to say. I think the last thing was assassins creed animus edition,sold out everywhere,no stores had any left so i was told etc. I pushed,persisted etc & eventually the store i was in doing this found one that supposedly didnt exist in their storeroom,$100 later & it was mine. Considering some people are trying to sell just the encyclopedia out of them for $80 i think i did well.
Thats also the main reason i pre-ordered was to secure a limited edition when its here.
Also,i dont think or expect i will hear anything more from them. Which to me isnt good since we are the ones that keep them in business. As for a posssible steelbook or something else later,it hasnt happened yet. Occassionally you get lucky with a free upgrade or something,but that doesnt happen often here. We kinda get left out in some ways,which is stinky

Assassins Creed 3 Collector editions details etc will be released at the end of March according to their website. Wether this will happen or not however is a different story. Link below is for their website & at the bottom of the webpage in bold writing thats the time frame they have given.

Well,thats hard to say. Assassins Creed Revelations Animus edition only cost me $100 from EB games,so maybe it will be the same. Then again considering this is a whole new ballgame & not a continuation you may be right,they will go all out on this one. Be neat to have something like a cannon that fires something included,not a tiny one either but a decent size job. I got a feeling a battleworn American flag may be included somewhere but,i could be wrong,its just something that fits the time frame. What is going to frustrate me most is if theres 4 or 5 different versions of the same game,then you have to decide which to get or if you get them all,lol

Matrix6
03-25-2012, 12:42 PM
Yeah, I feel ya. I may not be hardcore, so it will be sad not to get ALL the versions that will be released worldwide, it was sad enough not to get the Jack in a box edition is was more interesting than the bland colored codex box :S
I don't think anything will change though, all the big CE will be distributed regionally so we'll most likely miss out in one way or another.
Plus, to make things even worse/challenging...expect multiple Press Kits that can only be afforded by the keen or the lucky! ;)
I'll be happy with the inevitable 'EB exclusive' high end edition as well as the more available decently priced CE. Whatever the US gets I'll have to consider in the long run.

03-25-2012, 09:20 PM
It would be a nice change of perspective if there is a Universal CE. But from the look of it. It won't. Now i just hope the US gets a better Collector's Edition this time around in all seriousness. Based on previous past CE, it's pure silly compare to what the European have gotten.

03-25-2012, 09:27 PM
I'd say that US gets better AC CE's than we do... The jack in the box's were so awesome compared to the Codez edition.

Yes, the codex edition was nice, but it was simply a plastic box with a book in it and some discs and other stuff, whereas the jack in the boxes were something different and cool - albeit could've come with a couple more bits in the box xx

I would hazard a guess that since this is set in the American Revolution that the US will probably be on the cards for a top of the line collectors edition unavailable in other countries. Even then the US may still get more than one version like what happened with the jack in the box. It would nice & easier to have something universal but,thats what kinda makes collecting interesting(& sometimes a pain in the but),nobody has the same thing

03-25-2012, 09:51 PM
Yeah that's what I think Hippeedude, it's the hunt for the editions that makes collecting so interesting, and the fact of knowing that if you have a CE from another country, not mny other people near you are gonna have it :drool: xx

@vhal x & HIPPEEDUDE

i know the feeling, it's the thrill of the hunt if you're a die-hard fan. I rarely double dip. I could use some of my money for related merchandises. I rather whole-heartely would own any one(or all) of European's Collector's Editions if given an opportunity. Starting with AC1/AC2 Black, envy enough to kill--LOL, i'm joking don't take it literally:drool:. Mind blowing how much those are fetching for.

Basically, for once i like to see a franchise like Assassin's Creed do justice for the NA's market. Making up for those poor "collector's editions". I don't know, it's Ubisoft's call.

How do you know? Does it state so on ubi.com? I can't see since I'm outside UK. But then, so are you, right?

Sorry, I can see it on the AU Ubisoft so I'm assuming it will be the same for the UK when it gets updated!? Here's the AU site if you can see it; http://shop.ubi.com/store/ubiemea/en_AU/home/ThemeID.8605700/ccRef.en_CA

I'm saying this is relatively cheap for us in AU because it's $130...which is how much Animus was retailing for here.
I noticed that it's £90 for the UK, which is shocking...even the 'Join or Die' edition £58 is really bad!
I have a feeling that AU will somehow also get the Italian Medallion as well one way or another?!? :secret:

03-26-2012, 07:51 PM
Oh, no, no. It doesn't matter from where I would be linked to Ubi store, be it Australia, USA or Germany etc. it will just automatically check my IP and redirect me to the local site.
Unfortunately -__-
But on a second thought, if it's £90 in UK, maybe I'm better off buying it "locally" (they import it from somewhere anyway). It's here for £80 plus £10 shipping and the only difference will probably be the subtitles :facepalm:

You just need to change 'portals' to have a peek through other territories, it looks like most of the European Ubisoft sites are now updated as well.

It's also apparent that Gamestop UK have hiked up the price by £10 against the Ubisoft price! [they may readjust this absurd price accordingly]

On the Ubisoft page, hover your cursor over the Ubisoft tab on the top left hand corner, then click on ubi.com portal, after the page changes, hover over the top right hand side corner tab [indicating the country code], choose whichever EU country you want.

iIf you paid $130 in AU you got stung,EB games was selling them for $108,which is what i paid for mine. I rang EB games today to check they upgraded my version to the freedom edition & was told its going to be in very limited numbers here in AU,all other versions will be a bit more common.
Nice to have a meadallion,but i can imagine you will able to get those by themselves soon enough. Also,if you think about it,its 7 months to go till release so who knows what other versions,collectables etc are on the cards yet

Actually, the console versions of the Animus Edition were $128 to be exact and the PC version were $108 on pre-order and day of release last year. So, without any discounts of any sort, you would have had to pay $128 for a console version when the Animus was released. You must've missed out but the console versions were on sale for $99 just weeks ago.

Of course I'd get stung for purchasing on day one, but as a collector, that's the risk I take if I don't want to miss out...if it really was limited in quantity and not available after release. That often does happen [here], but then again some CE's pop up out of nowhere on sale a year or so after release. :shrug:

Anyway, I'm sure EB also said that the Animus Edition very limited in numbers before release :S

True,being stung is a risk we all take,most of the time it pays off other times you dont really loose to much anyway. Agreed,EB AU has that weird habit of finding things that dont exist & selling them. I think most of the time they are returns that are put away as they cant sell them new,then are remembered about & put on sale. I remember a few months back their website listed Assassins Creed Codex Editions for $25,the minute i found out i went to get one but none could be found but,i did find a bioshock 2 speacial edition sealed though:)

The animus version i got was xbox 360,i dont generally worry about any other version of things. When i asked about it,they couldnt find any in AU left,i was just lucky the manager was there & remembered he had one put away.
I was late on the wagon for this as i was getting one elsewhere but it fell through,luck was on my side this time.

So maybe its a ploy saying there a limited run,but they do sell out of some things real quick.

Also eb games have this price match thingy as you know & generally if you say the right thing you can get things a bit cheaper,even if what you say is a little BS:lmao:

Well I did because I live in CBD and stuff sell out pretty fast here =/. Pre ordered it and picked up on release date. PS3 version btw.

And apparently there will be limited stock on the Freedom Edition so not gonna take my chances and miss out on this =D.
