I hope they don't destroy that other wise neat looking steel book with that stupid rating and brand logo !!

Is this coming to the States? These collectors editions at regular price with steel books and actual content are nice compared to other ones. I am looking at you shift 2.

It is inevitable that it will land up in US. Although official confirmation of any sorts is not yet available.

I also just received the exact same eMail from them. I'll definitely be pre-ordering it as it's a SteelBook, and I have also found that Namco CE's tend to be incredibly limited in numbers! I would highly recommend grabbing a copy now while you still have the chance, as this could become a sought after rarity after release...

ShopTo.net have this for £36.85...

X360 - http://www.shopto.net/XBOX%20360/VID...20Edition.html


GAME also have this edition on their website for a whopping £59.99!

X360 - http://www.game.co.uk/Games/Xbox-360...ion-/~r354905/


From what I can tell, both show the same SteelBook and extras, but for some unknown reason the GAME price is almost double the ShopTo price...

Definitely going to contact them about this and request a price match, as this is ridiculous!

Agreed. Especially when ShopTo quote the original RRP as only £49.99 in the first place...



Unless the version GAME are selling is a different CE altogether, although from the details provided it's the exact same edition as the one ShopTo are selling. I am assuming that the GAME pre-order price is a palceholder and due an adjustment, but still worth pointing it out to them all the same.

If it's a different CE which includes the SteelBook, then they should at least alter their listing to reflect this, as well as add new information to differenciate it from the lesser edition - They need to be checking the details on this one, as a difference of £23 between retailers for a pre-order is clearly not right!

Despite the £59.99 price, I pre-ordered at GAME hoping it was just a placeholder price. As it turns out, it was, and they have since sent me an eMail informing me that the price has been lowered to a much more reasonable £39.99!

So it seems Twitter does have its uses sometimes
