If shipping was half the price I might bite. But 65 for something that cost 75 is too much for me.

I would consider 4,000 Units with a price of $75 is actually a lot. As you can see, they are still taking pre-orders. Not many people can spend $75, and don't even mention those who stay overseas.

I do like the idea to have a label or sticker to differentiate the first press edition and the later ones. That is a bonus for us collectors, and those who wait patiently for it as it was first launched.

I can see your points. $75 is high but the thing does have four LP's, no? In my mind, with that in mind, it's not overly excessive. If they had done two versions, one with two LP's only or separated out The Last of Us and Left Behind, that would have added to the uniqueness but they decided to put all four together. I can see it both ways but I, like you, can say that because I got one of the early ones.

Check with Redmagster see if she wants to get one. Maybe you both can share shipping. I can help you guys to forward the items.

Its a win-win situation for you both at least

Just curious, but if someone in the states bought one and shipped it... how much would shipping be for person to person? I have no idea.

What they are charging might well be the actual cost i don't know.

I just pre-ordered mine, it was more of an impulse buy but I get what you mean though. 65 is kinda steep for shipping not to mention import fees. Most international buyers wouldn't be willing to pay that much, but The Last of Us is one of my favourite games of all time and Naughty Dog is by far my favourite developer of all time so it was worth it for me.

If you and Redmagster each bought one, the total for two including shipping to a US address would be $157 USD

Then I will help you find out the shipping to UK.

To me $75 for 4 LPs are not expensive. I was just putting myself in their shoes that said $75 is too much. Sorry I was confusing.

Cant wait to get mine tho.. seeing those who live in Texas already got theirs!

Yeah shipping and import fees would be over 100 dollars, probably more.

Huh, so shipping for 2 to the US is 7 dollars?

Something to think about mate I might take you up on it. I've kinda been spending a lot lately though with PC upgrades and MGS5 coming out soon. I'll let you know.

I think the price is fine, just the shipping will kill it to here

UK charge VAT/import charges on the price of the product AND the shipping, god damned rip off

I was speaking to a reviewer who lives in japan, he said he can mark the stuff he gets as 'review samples' and not get charged. Wonder if that would work over here?
