I am totally baffled by the numerous CE/SE/LE/EE variants of UC3 that Naughty Dog is launching across the globe. It seems naughty dog is globetrotting for Collector's adventure by releasing different editions in every continent. Or else how can you explain a different variant for US, EU, China, Australia (and who knows may be a Latin and African variant may too spring up close to the release date)

2011 has surely proved to be one of the most glorious years on record for collectors like us who dig for these glitzy, precious and irresistible collectibles.

Going by the look of this, it seems that UC3's franchise are all set to enter the record book for launching the maximum number of CE variants of a single game (Its sad that FIFA 12's 7 steelbook editions would go for a toss in less than a month's time)

Whatever, each and every edition of UC3 is and tempting.

BTW, i am still perplexed about the EU and US collector edition of UC3. What is that "divine" content which sets the two editions apart ?

OK, i need liaisons in all those countries where a particular CE of UC3 is being launched exclusively.

So members from EU,US,China and wherever else, who are willing to help me procure these valuable editions, kindly PM me regarding the same

From what I understand the US edition is called 'Collectors' and the UK edition 'Explorers'.

Content wise (again my understanding) is that the UK version has a wooden chest type bag that it all comes in and the game is the 'Special Edition' which is in the style of a journal.

The US version comes in a different box (seems less nice TBH) and also the bax box is different - its s steelbook.

HTH

There is no china version. It says English + Chinese. That would be the Asia version and most likely we will get that here as we always get the Eng+Chi versions

In U.S...stores sometimes they'll offer limited edition steelbooks...what they do is put out the steelbooks for sale, say things like pre-order now, put down $8.99 deposit, and take home this steelbook"..and when the game comes around, just do not purchase it..and they will "charge the $8.99" essentially for the steelbook..i guess they figure, you'd come back for the game, cause why would you be a fan of the steelbook, and not the game?..or why would you want an empty case?..so maybe, anybody can find out..if someone can just pay down a small deposit, as a "pre order"..and then walk away with the steelbook?..and not show up for the game...but it depends, if u get steelbook now?.or day of release?..in america, they tend to give ahead of time whenever a promo like this happens..especially with Blu ray movies, etc...just food for thought..I REALLY WANT THAT ITALIAN STEELBOOK FOR UNCHARTED 3!!!!! ..somebody make it happen!!!!

I got in contact with my local store and they said their store is not selling games anymore.
so i contacted the next one(~100km away)and they said they have the steelbooks but they will only be able to give them at launch date with the game(i wanted to use that preorder method Twisted described but no luck ). So i can get game+steelbook only
When everything will be good to go ill post all the info,paypal,... in "group buys and exports" but look around a 120€+shipping-less if alot of copies will be preordered (sealed game+ mint condition steelbook)

120€+shipping?

Yikes, isn't the game+steelbook itself just 69,99€? How'd it turn out to be so much?

The game itself is 69.99€(which you can resell)+ a couple of € for the steelbook+ a 400km trip to preorder this and pickup(gas)+ i think no one's time is free. ill make sure to check every steelbook to be mint condition + ill box it safely so you will get it intact(as a collector i know it sucks getting something smashed by post) and ill try to send it from Italy to keep the shipping costs as low as possible
