[themidlandmaster]

Not only is the retail encycopedia different, it contians content not in the
Animus edition: http://store.ubiworkshop.com/assassi...white-edition/

Damn you ubisoft! I don't think there's a person on the planet who has every permutation of all the Assassins creed games!

Well this is stupid, nice one Ubisoft, Can't believe this crap.

[DaSaru]

wonder if the black and white has different covers and if the carte blanche is binded or just a separate booklet of sort.

i rather they have different covers and the carte blanche is binded into. makes each more special.

once again..aghh.

Thanks for the heads up, buyers outside US be very aware that shipping cost is beyond ridonkulous!!

1x Encyclo @US$29.99 + US$44.16 shipping [cheapest shipping cost]
5x Encyclo @US$149.75 + US$166.71 shipping [cheapest shipping cost]

This isn't exactly uncommon as other game developer/publisher online stores always have ball crushing shipping fees which can easily put you off buying anything even when their stuff are on sale....which makes it worse in a way.

So, I call up on Aussies who may consider sharing the cost of shipping to make things a little cheaper for us?? [I'm based in Melbourne (surrounding suburb)]

I would suggest others from other countries to put in together if those shipping fees are of any indication. Thanks.

As I have just found out the hard way. D'oh! However, they do give you the option to pay by credit / debit card, or PayPal

Something else I have to also mention is the fact that they also charge for shipping. I just ordered the Animus Edition from there, and they charged me £2.00 P&P. If it's well packaged, then I don't mind so much, but if they're going to scrimp on the packaging and it arrives damaged, then I will definitely be having a few words with their head office!
