i think if australia gets it..then PAL europe will also get it..or maybe even UK gamestop as "gamestop exclusive"..this statue sounds like will be made in thousands..people who were led by marketing to believe the Post Pandemic was "EXTREMELY LIMITED" those were there words..maybe the rest of the package, things like artbooks etc..will show up as preorder bonuses in other territories...i mean since they released the most exclusive part as a general sales item..they why stop now?..i think the secondary market prices will fall fast..especially with the resellers and hoarders..once word gets out of this..lots of cancellations and returns will happen with people who bought multiple copies..so more will be made for sale i suppose during actual release week.

yeah, I may have to cancel my orders. I'll still hold out till at least early may, since the date's been pushed back, but I'm really disappointed by this. This is not cool and I wish that companies who produce CE's would stick to making them limited if they say they are EXTREMELY limited.

Good point but I can't really pity you as you were trying to profit big time from this lol.

I mean you don't have to, but it's my first time trying to make a profit but I feel the same for every other game I buy 2 copies of, one for my collection one to open, just to find it dropped in price a month after release because they produced way the fuck to many. Like every 'limited' COD release in the past (which now I just wait on those). But whatever, it's just as fair to try and profit on a game as collect IMO, and regardless I feel it's equally unfair to make people think it's limited and then produce more regardless of what you're buying it for.

Well, I think the delay was down to upping the The Last of Us 12" Statue run. It did sell out quick on GameStop through and putting the thing up for sale on EBGames did kill it for me the pic is shocking then again when ACEIII drop down to $65 it went like a shot. People will pay for rare CE if they are rare but if the price gets silly then good luck with that. We can thank AC2 Black edition for a lot of that the price some eBay sellers were asking $900 good on then if they got the sale. I too will be killing the PPE and getting the book version as the book and PPE will cost me $235 to $250 depending on where I get the book. Think I will use what I save from that buy for the PS4.

The Italian version has that water bottle,nothing too exiting but I've got it ordered.

Supposedly TLOU Pandemic Edition will be coming to certain areas of Asia too.....

At the very least a shop in Asia is touting the statue from it

Haha good one

Indeed I think I'd rather have the Ellie edition.

Also does anyone know what the case for the game in these editions is like? it doesn't look like a normal plastic case nor does it look like a Steelbook.
