They have it listed for £35.84, and at the moment they do not seem to have a standard version available to pre-order


However, GAME seem to have a standard version, but no LE, so there's no telling whether this will be the only version available upon launch, or whether these sites have yet to update their listings

Nice I will contact Pcube to see if they will be doing another special collector's bundle like the Blazblue limited bundle.

Nice find, will add to database.

According to the BlazBlue fanpage run by Zen United on Facebook, this one will be up for preorder in their online store sometime soon.

I would much like another limited numbered Zen United CE if possible, if they're prepared to create something as beautiful as the Guilty Gear XX Accent Core package for this!

I like how they seem to learn what us collectors want based on previous CE's. The GG XX ^ Core Plus set was far superior to the BlazBlue: Continuum Shift package, and much more nicely presented!

The trouble with Zen united are the ridiculous postage fees, If we can order through Pqube direct here in the UK atleast, we can not only get free delivery, but specify good packaging by simply dropping them an e-mail.

Are you referring to the FAN edition or the Collector's edition .

I was referring to the Fan Edition, which ended up being a few extra bits & bobs thrown in the box along with the regular CE

I agree that Zen United's postage fees are ridiculously high. If the items were being sent from Asia, I could understand it, but they're being shipped from within the UK! (Bristol I believe)

Ok I got this reply back from Pqube:

Hello Gee,

The limited edition should be widely available from all good retailers - but I have heard that The hut have taken a large quaintly of them.

As for the numbers we are producing, I cannot say how many it is, but it is truly limited (unlike some Halo limited editions which are still available at retail!).

Once these packs have gone that will be it!

Hope that helps,

Have yet to see this LE appear on the GAME website, however, HMV have it listed alongside the standard version:

PS3 - http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProduct...1;-1&sku=75517

X360 - http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProduct...1;-1&sku=75522

The standard version is priced at £34.99 on the HMV website, whereas it is considerably lower at only £19.99 on the GAME website

The LE is priced at £39.99 on the HMV site, so I think I will wait and see what the GAME price will be if / when they add it to their listings

Ok I requested if he could be a bit more specific about the numbers.

This is what he said:

Hello Gee,

Cannot give you final numbers, but across both 360 and PS3 it is going to be less than 10,000 in total.

Hope that helps,

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Well in my experience, X360 versions are usually the more popular, so I would guess that the split is not 5,000 / 5,000, and might be uneven in favour of the X360, therefore making the PS3 versions technically more rare. However, if the X360 is the version more in demand then this may become the more sought after version in the near future

And 10,000 split between two consoles isn't all that much at all, considering the Fallout: New Vegas CE didn't have many more copies between the X360 and PS3, and those were numbered


I don't know why they can't give exact details regarding numbers though - You'd think that announcing low numbers would entice punters to get in quick and pre-order, rather than have them believe the CE will be more abundant than it actually is. Numbering CE's will always encourage sales...
