Nice cheap price :)
I like how the PS3 gets a Bluetooth Headset, and will they also include the awesome bugs in the game :D

[vhal_x]

Nice, preordered both xx

[Likey]

I never played this but the trailer was awesome, will get the PS3 version. :)

[WINGSFANmac]

Will amazon UK ship this to the states?

[vhal_x]

Nope UK only :( I can forward to you if needed ? xx

[Likey]

I'll forward you two for the Street Fighter boxset. :P

[Feat]

Not sure why their labelling it game of the year but at least that edition looks sick

[Gemini-Phoenix]

I'm going to order one of each, just in case that price is a cock-up - Although the RRP of the game on its own on other sites is only £14.99! I doubt the quality of the headsets are up to much for this price...

[Matrix6]

would sell more if steelbook for it released.

[gurpswoo1]

Must be a mis-price, great deal

[Raasclark]

Not sure if it's a mis-price seeing you can pre order the standard GOTY edition at play.com for £14.99. But it's nice to see a limited edition version of a GOTY edition. Don't think I've saw one before...

[gurpswoo1]

Yeah, the only other ones is the velvet game of year edition for two worlds 2.

[Likey]

But will Amazon honour it for this price if it is a mis-price?

[Matrix6]

yes, it's in their kindness to honour the cheapest price advertised during preorder periods.

[Likey]

Yeah, knowing Amazon I figured they would but thought I'd check. Can't say I ever pre-order stuff, normally just get it on release or shortly after which is probably never good.

[gurpswoo1]

Actually you will be surprised how often that can be a good idea to wait, few edition sellout and can be purchased for lower price later on

[Likey]

Yeah I was going to comment about that.

So screwed up that FFXIII-2 has reduced in price like a month or two after. Even the CE strategy guide is like £6.99 or something on Amazon right now. :/

[comaamen86]

Not sure why their labelling it game of the year but at least that edition looks sick

its game of the year edition comes with all dlc thats been released so far and patches

anyway 360 version ordered good work thread maker with this find

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Yeah, the only other ones is the velvet game of year edition for two worlds 2.

Hm, whatever happened about that CE? I haven't seen or heard anything since it was announced. Could you update the thread, as I must have missed something...

[SquirrelRaper]

Yeah, the only other ones is the velvet game of year edition for two worlds 2.

Dont forget about the LittleBigPlanet's one. :)

[comaamen86]

Dont forget about the LittleBigPlanet's one. :)

with the cuddly sackboy? the sackboy plush when first out fetched crazy money on ebay, seems like they appear behind you now if you say sackboy 3 times in the mirror, sony are milking it to death.

[comaamen86]

im sure in aus they got turtle beaches for free when it was released, or minimal markup at least

[SquirrelRaper]

Yeah, that one but then again both editions came with a sackboy...I dont care for series that much but I can't believe they are doing a Dead Island GOTY edition. Usually it's the good games that get it. I guess that explains the price XD

i thought di was quite good, just glitchy i just hope they put the dlc on disc as opposed to download.

[SquirrelRaper]

i thought di was quite good, just glitchy i just hope they put the dlc on disc as opposed to download.

I thought it was really glitchy and kind of boring. It was an ok game but in comparison to other games, I think there are other games out the more suited for GOTY editions lol. Either way, I'll have to buy it to complete my PS3 collection. >_<

[comaamen86]

heads up the 360 version is now £19.99 on amazon, i checked my order and it did not reduce the price so i cancelled and re-ordered

[KASTANO]

they want 50 euro for it, tou would be better off with the amazon uk version and buying the book for £3-4

[goonergaz]

I think this is now sold out?

[Stark]

Wow,I'll see if I can't get this locally before I try and source it from somewhere else.

Dead Island was awesome and I never played the DLC,so the GotY edition would be awesome :D

[Javius]

In Spain is available the Twin Pack for if anybody want it

[comaamen86]

so did anyone get this, i was quite impressed witg the 360 headphones, nice little set for £19.99

[vhal_x]

Nope, I cancelled mine as was low on funds. Then realised it was bloody sold out :( Grr xx

[Ayiu]

Mine should arrive on Monday or Tuesday plus I got 8 pounds refund from Amazon.co.uk because of the pre-order price guarantee. Really can't moan :D

Cheapest price I found for the UK Edition is 55€ if someone is interested :)

[comaamen86]

Nope, I cancelled mine as was low on funds. Then realised it was bloody sold out :( Grr xx

that a shame the headset is nothing amazing, like standard mike but with slightly more padded earpieces and sturdy frame, has some cool blood effects wich would not really show great on the ps3 wireless set.

all the dlc is on disc as well so no one-use download codes which is the main reason i got it as i had none of the dlc

[comaamen86]

as usual some have made it to ebay most reasonable is ps3 £31.95 inc p and p

[Gemini-Phoenix]

These were probably the steal of the year! Not only were they cheap to begin with, but because of Amazon's pre-order price promise policy, I ended up getting a partial rebate as well! Bargain!

I'm a bit confused as to why the Xbox version comes with huge headphones, whereas the PS3 one comes with a nice small wireless headset!? It's also odd that a re-release would warrant such a CE, when we originally didn't receive anything except the Special Edition here in the UK for the full-price release.

Does anyone have a nice Dead Island collection with all of the CE's yet?

[vhal_x]

I'm almost there Gemini! Only got to pick up both of these GOTYs (I cancelled mine due to low funds. Now regretting it big time) and the treasure edition and a steel. Then I'll have them all (well, minus the press kit but think I'll have a hard time getting that!) xx

never knew there was a pk, what was in it?

[vhal_x]

It was in a wooden box, with the Banoi Resort logo on it, and had some hotel type stuff in it, not 100% sure what though xx

So basically, you're missing half of them! ;)

[vhal_x]

Why half? I currently own:

- Dead Island Red Edition.
- Dead Island Limited Edition.
- Dead Island Survival Kit.
- Dead Island Russian CE.
- Dead Island NZ CE.
- Dead Island AUS CE.
- Dead Island Promo Disc.
- Dead Island Promo Sandals.

hiya vhal, you can have my PS3 edition for cost + shipping if that helps?

I know it's a bit cheeky (but needs must after my speeding ticket :( ) so I could do both PS3+X360 for £50 + shipping @ cost - this offer is for vhal only - I don't really want to sell but I can see it'll be part of a better collection :)

[Ayiu]

back on sale for £19.99 for the Xbox 360 at amazon uk

[vhal_x]

Sold out again, except for the copies for sale by people at more than double the price :facepalm: xx

[gurpswoo1]

I am trying to catch up on this edition but one thing I can't seem to figure out is which retailer got the version with the book inside, still Game of the year edition though.

[vhal_x]

I think it was Game4Game.at, Gee xx

[gurpswoo1]

Ah thanks, found it.

It's some sort of novel and looks to be an Austrian Exclusive.

Also found out that the extra DLC content is on the disc and not on a DLC card. Yay someone with brains.

[Ayiu]

It's exclusive to Gamesonly.at

http://gamesonly.at/Dead_Island_Game_Of_The_Year__indizierte_Limited_u ncut_Edition__Xbox360_5097.html

[gurpswoo1]

Thanks Ayiu, was trying to figure out which stores were stocking it in Austria. All I got were news pages saying it's exclusive to Austria.

[kittychloe]

its funny the australian version of that game pack ebgames just put random games in them

[gurpswoo1]

Sorry I don't understand, what do you mean.

Are you saying the the box is same no matter the platform?

[kittychloe]

Sorry I don't understand, what do you mean.

Are you saying the the box is same no matter the platform?

The ones i have seen in store all have the same plain black box and headset and one of about 4 games, i think they or possibly another company might have made a generic version to sell older copies of games over here ive only seen the xbox ones though

[kittychloe]

Sorry bout the confusion, i should of clarified that ebgames got a generic version made rather than any of the actual dead island versions, its a generic spartan head set and they stuck the goty edition inside, or battlefield or another game

http://i1071.photobucket.com/albums/u520/kixxychloe/80F7DE0A-C800-412C-8362-AE2CC32318F8-9730-00000D4C5B671C2D.jpg

Thats the set ebgames seems to have..

Edit: sorry i have a habit of saying rising instead of island

[gurpswoo1]

Huh, wonder why have they done this for Australia but used unique versions for Europe.

Seems a little unfair , especially considering the game is more expensive there also.

[kittychloe]

Ploy to sell unsold stock by chucking in a free headset?

[gurpswoo1]

Ploy to sell unsold stock by chucking in a free headset?

LOL - yeah probably right.

[Lemur]

So from what's written on the the box, you're buying the Spartan game + headset? :taunt:
