Now it makes me want to see an unboxing of the version we will be getting.

Looks sweet dont it. Would so love to have one of those.

So far, my only ray of hope is the pre-order i already have with Square Enix America for the PS4 Collector's Edition. If i go ahead with that, the costs will go way up as i have to forward it to Australia AND purchase the standard edition for PS4 so i can play it on the PS4.

So much wanting a Europe or OMFG AUSTRALIAN pre-order as that would mean the codes in the Collector's Edition would actually WORK.

How many times have i read this to myself... wondering if they flat out lied to us.

Greetings,

While some retailers may not stock them, don't worry, customers in New Zealand and Australia will be able to order the Collector's Edition.

Please hold on for further information when pre-orders begin on Monday.

"Hey it still is technically a collector's edition... even if it dont come with box... and a few other things..."

EDIT - I called EB Games Australia and the lady there told me that the reason there is nothing on the store yet is due to ''marketing negotiations and the like'' with our local vendor which means they are probably negotiating ''exclusivity'' like they usually do. Like ANYONE actually likes exclusivity.

Why the fuck did they change the new ordering system to just the USA as I got the 14 watch CE a few years back with no issues. Pay a little extra for tracking and I don't see a problem with over seas all w can get here to by in Australia from the shop is pc downloads fuck that shit.

The problem is EVERY copy of Heavensward purchased from America, be it digital, physical or collectors will NOT WORK WHATSOEVER with my account as my account is ''Europe and other'' region, where as copies purchased from Amazon.com, Gamestop and Square Enix North America, only work with North American accounts.

I am only getting the Collector's from Square Enix North America for the physical items and i am paying a high price for them since it does NOT include a copy of the game that would be functional for me. I cant sell it after it arrives as that would mean selling it on a different ebay than the one i use.

"my account as my account is ''Europe and other'' region" what is this? An Xbox thing?

What I want to know is how you ordered the CE game from Square when they don't post to Australia. The game should work where (Playstation) ever but the download content needs an account for that country.

Missing a , in there actually. That is why it sounds odd. My bad.

Easy. Forwarding service. Google it. And no, if you knew anything about Final Fantasy XIV, you would know that there is strict rules governing what codes work for what accounts. Yes the DISCS work on ANY Playstation that is correct 100%. But the codes will NOT. They are NOT Playstation codes. They are SQUARE ENIX codes. If i purchase a copy of A Realm Reborn digital from Square Enix America right now, it would be 100% useless to me as my Square Enix account is NOT American but rather ''Europe and other'' which is 100% different.

There are two regions, America and 'Europe and other'.

EDIT - Oh and i can actually prove it too. The pre-order codes for that Collector's Edition - they dont work. They give ''wrong region'' error message which is to be expected.
