Yay I managed to get a copy of the collectors edition. Found a buyer on ebay in Australia so didn't have to pay a fortune in postage, just a fortune to buy the game... but its worth it, looking forward to opening it up and checking out the book and watch
Also got a steelbook locally without having to get the game so happy with that. Love the collectors edition strategy guide too, looks great.
Now to get the standard local release of game when its down to bargain basement price and ill be set for my FFXIII collection.
