[ingmar1988]

isnt this really cheap? with all the comics inside or am I missing something

[vhal_x]

Yeah that is pretty cheap. The first compendium is like ?80-?100 here if I remember correctly. And that's one with a variant cover?

Will definitely try to get this anyway... if it's real.

There's been no official confirmation of it. Just this pic :shrug: xx

[Ayiu]

it's probably so cheap because they sell the game alone for 30 bucks due to the fact that most people have already bought every single episodes bit by bit through xbox live or psn

[Emzze]

Oh my. Does want :o

[ingmar1988]

Yeah and the compendium is already available for around 35 bucks on amazon.

[vhal_x]

Whoops, just realised I wasn't thinking of the compendiums haha :haha: Yeah, they're around ?30-?35 here xx

[Letrico]

IGN confirmed that this is GameStop exclusive T_T

[KIERONOO]

Is this coming to the UK?

[Noodles]

I really hope this comes to the UK! :beg:

Man where is the PC version!!!!!

[goonergaz]

dang I gotta get that!

[kittychloe]

Don't want to know what aus will charge if it gets here

[scourdx]

Too bad it is only US exclusive. Canada got nothing. :(

[Neilikki]

Waoh, hey, I want this ;/ UK pleaseee,pleassee...

[Xmo]

I will service anybody who wants this CE, just PM me.
Will cost $76.11 USD including sales tax

[ingmar1988]

***added to database***

[nipperkipper]

Ah man why gamestop, i dont mind ordering from the US, but Gamestop are just awful, high shipping and guaranteed customs every time

really want this as well

[kittychloe]

Might take you up on that xmo

[ingmar1988]

nipperskipper...shipping is only 20 usd...not expensive.

They are expensive for small items, because for one 3ds game they also charge 20 dollar shipping lmao.

[Letrico]

This might be one of the few times where their shipping is cool. 1000 page compendium is not that light. Not counting in the outer "custom" box which might be made of quite a good quality stuff? Importing individually might cost 40-50 already?

It also depends which country it goes it. 30 flat to Australia :)

[Juma]

Too bad it is only US exclusive. Canada got nothing. :(

Really? With lucky they can announce next month to Canada too (i can dream :beg:)

[nipperkipper]

Fair point you are right, i assumed with $20 for a standard game that this would be much more. But still guaranteed customs at ?20+ :(

[vhal_x]

Yeah, I once had to pay 30 gbp customs on a standard copy of Splatterhouse from Gamestop US :suicide:. Bought the game to get the preorder bonus (only to find out once I received the game that they didn't ship the bonus outside of the US :( grr) xx

[KIERONOO]

I might pre Order with gamestop US as shipping is not high and I want a garenteed copy if it doesn't come to UK, if it does its simple to just cancel and re order

[vhal_x]

You will be paying at least 30 GBP in customs charges though :hammer: xx

[KIERONOO]

This is why I hope it comes to the UK, I don't want to pay extra for this but if importing from the US is the only way then I'm contempt with paying extra. Anyway my bank says I have too much money

Is this still the case because I pre-ordered Ni No Kuni from gamestop because of the pre-order bonus steelbook?

[Letrico]

Is this still the case because I pre-ordered Ni No Kuni from gamestop because of the pre-order bonus steelbook?

Gotta read the terms and condition of the offer tho. Usually its written there "Only applicable in U.S"

[vhal_x]

Yeah, most times if its not available to outside US it'll say. The preorder bonus for Splatterhouse was a Splatterhouse mask, and even if you were in the US, you didn't get it in the package, you got a code to redeem online to get the mask sent to you, but the site to redeem the code was only for US/CA. This was before I'd signed up here (it was my boyfriend who bought it, I wasn't collecting yet) so when I signed up here I was gutted as I could have just gotten help from a US/CA person :( xx

[I_BE_WILL]

$30 shipping for one, $39.99 for two...

this is a little tempting to chip in for a group buy :S

[Letrico]

will i already preordered one :)

[KIERONOO]

Is the collectors edition region free? I would have thought it was

[I_BE_WILL]

oh well, it's not region free anyway :(

[Letrico]

hm why is it not region free? its gonna be the same like journey, will be on disc

[I_BE_WILL]

Telltale have said that it will NTSC and won't work on PAL UK consoles

[Letrico]

Where have u read that? There was no mention of it being region lock at all? Except if you consider the need of US PSN as region lock

[KIERONOO]

Oh that was my post, forgot about that. :) what a shame though looks like I have to cancel and order the standard :(

[Twisted]

maybe tell tale is just saying that...because PS3 discs are marked pal and ntsc region 1, 2, 3, etc..but in the end it does'nt really matter..officially maybe it is only ntsc but unofficially it should work no?

[ingmar1988]

I just cant believe the ps3 version wouldnt work, i cant even name one game that is not region free.

[Letrico]

As I said before the only region lock game was P4 Arena. Not sure why telltale says that it is not compatible or just pain ignorant of the fact that PS3 are region free.

Another possible meaning is PSN region lock which means you will require US PSN account to play it.

His explanation in the forum is epic fail and does not clarify any point. If he was speaking of XBOX copy then yes they could region lock it.

[Twisted]

i think technically speaking they are trying to drive a wedge between pal and ntsc because they don't want somebody buying it because they said it was cool..only have maybe some on-line features not being compatiable..or the person is'nt aware since PS3 being region free is not really officially advertised or spoken about to the masses..it's just something that happens to be there...99% sure there not going in and region locking this on PS3..with some sort of conspiracy.lol.i don't think that person knew what he was talking about..it was just a general assumption?

Persona 4 is not region locked at all. Becuase my copy playes on both my Japanese and america ps3 for both my Japanese and american copies so ya. I also dout that this game is region locked. If the game is not working them its some isue with your ps3 rather then the game itself being region locked at all.

Its locked for pal consoles lol. No idea how they did it but they did

[geralds]

No its not its not locked on my pal console ether. I just tried it last nice and it worked ok right on my Uk ps3. Though i have experiance a region lock bs message before when i tried to play tiger woods 11 on my american ps3 when the freeking game is an american game now that makes no freeking sense there.

[KIERONOO]

So will the collectors edition game still work on UK ps3 even though telltale says no?

[geralds]

Yes if it don't then its just some randam isue with your ps3 then you may have to call sony about there is no ps3 game at all that is region locked from any console.

[KIERONOO]

Ok thanks. That's what I wa thinking. Isn't the zboz the console woth region lock games and what that telltale guy was on about?

[geralds]

I have noticed a lot of developers and publishers say that despite its not just like they were for psp gameboy ds ect.. They probably 1 do not realize or know it is and 2 try to boost domestic sales. Only online features and Dlc are region locked with a few exceptions of course. Like take torne for the ps3 you can put the disc in your ps3 it is not region locked but you can not even use the freeking thing is you do not live in Japan so i wonder what was ever the point of making an import for the masses at all. Though the only game i really know with region locked online anyway on ps3 is just white knight Chronicals 2.

[Matrix6]

Apart from the "special collector's box" it comes in, isn't this just a bundle pack?
It only comes with the Compendium 1, doesn't even include compendium 2 with it.

Don't want to know what aus will charge if it gets here
It won't be coming here at all as the game itself wasn't submitted to get a rating because they (Telltales) it will be rejected by the classification boards :S

As I said before the only region lock game was P4 Arena.
As Atlus have stated, apparently only the PAL disc itself is region locked. Other region discs will work on the PAL consoles, as it is there's still no date for the release of the PAL edition! Which is very strange to me. :shrug:

The reason for that would be the ce version, aus has different laws regarding book publishing from what i know, in order to release a book in Australian shops it needs to be printed or reprinted by an australian publisher.. I could be wrong but its what ive been told

[Matrix6]

lol, don't know about the rules/laws about book releases/publishing here, I just buy anywhere else but here because it's cheaper to import anyway.

I bought the included Compendium early last year from the UK, but I still need to get part 2.

Anyway, the game won't be releasing here at all until Telltales attempts submit it....maybe after we get our R18+ stamped on our games?? :lol:
http://www.kotaku.com.au/2012/04/telltale-games-no-plans-to-release-the-walking-dead-in-australia/
Sorry, but due to the OFLC ratings laws in Australia and New Zealand, and the fact that this is a mature game, we do not currently have plans to release the game there on consoles.

It's impossible. Are you sure you are talking about Persona 4 Arena the fighting game? There was a huge mess and controversy around that game back in July/August.
Atlus locked every region because the game was being released simultaneously in both Ntsc and Ntsc-J regions and they didn't want Japanese people to import American copies.

[NaughtyDogJames]

The Uncharted Drakes Fortune demo wa originally region locked as loads of people were pissed when they downloaded it from the US store and found it wouldn't play due to region locking.

dont worry, he was talking about NTSC and PAL locking
which applies only to the Xbox360

PS3 should be region free (except Persona?)

[Letrico]

Mine start shipping already from gamestop :). It weight 2.6kg!

[ingmar1988]

Mine shipped as well, prepare for custom charges though.

[Letrico]

no custom charges for me :)

[Letrico]

i didnt know gamestop uses UPS to send stuff overseas. That would be why shipping charges are minimum $30 to australia even if its a single copy of normal game

[Letrico]

what the f :

The service selected is not available to the destination address. / Downgraded, forwarded to consignee, selected service is not available.

[ingmar1988]

I received mine, ultra fast by ups expedited.

[tonybsg]

^^How much taxes and handling feed ingmar?

[ingmar1988]

25 euro...was expected

[tonybsg]

Thanx man!

[kikkifax]

Game is region locked for the xbox360. :banghead: Just works on NTSC-xbox360.

[vhal_x]

To be fair though, they did confirm that xx

Doubt it will be but if they were to release Season 2 CE I guess 400 Days will be included inside since it sets the story for Season 2.

shouldn't this be added since it includes dlc not found in the normal copy of the game?
