A steel book now too? What the hell, I can see why you wouldn't include the Kollectors edition in the Tournament Edition, but now I am going to miss out on the steel book if I don't buy both the kollectors and the steel book editions. Ugh they are killing me.

Agree, it a strange predicament the publisher has put us in. Over saturating the market with 3-4 different edition is only going to make demand less.

I agree with Gemini, 20K is the max they should manufacture, even then fighting games don't tend to hold their value. The exception being the Marvel vs Capcom series or very limited Collector's edition such as the Street fighter 2 Turbo limited Edition on Snes.

Good point gurpswoo1. Looks like I will cancel my order for the Kollectors edition and pick it up later when its cheap.

Does Future Shop not ship to the US? I know it is a Canadian store, but I would think they would allow purchases from the US on their website. When I try creating an account it won't let me move forward until I put a canadian zip code in.

I live in Canada and ordered it, but I'm 90% sure there was an option for U.S.

Yes currently they only ship inside Canada.

I would make a thread in the wanted section for someone in Canada to help you out.

Here is an ebay selling it for $130, if you think its worth it!

Ouch - $130. almost double the original price.

Depending on where you are, it would be cheaper to go across the border.

I live literally 10 minutes from the border, but I am a bit spoiled by having such things shipped to me....Do you guys think it will be rare enough for a trip into Canada? Its a half hour drive to the nearest future shop.....

Just to give you a visual, to the left of the river is canada, and the right of the river is buffalo (US), haha.

Nevermind, google maps does not carry the exact location you were looking at in the link. If you are curious just type on buffalo ny to toronto canada.

I picked up my Tournament Edition today. The GameStop manager informed me that my Pre-Order was the only copy of that edition the store received... this is good for collectors.

I pre-ordered the Kollector's Edition through Amazon, though it hasn't shipped yet.

I appologize for not taking any pictures but my light tent is too small for these CEs that are coming out now, I need to build a bigger one.

LOL - I know what you mean, I really am struggling to store these large box editions.

Killzone 3 Helghast , Crysis 2 Nano edition are just two of the bigger ones I got recently.

Look forward to the pictures.
