It's like they are trying to make people buy two Collectors editions




They are they have done this with pretty much every AC game to date. They never tier them, just make them all contain different things to make as much money out of you as possible. It's a sly tactic, but it works tbh.

And I'm not really complaining, the more CEs I can get, the better xx

Sorry if this has been posted before (I don't read all the threads unfortunately). Just another confirmation from Ubi that there'll be a CE for NA. I'm sure you're all sick of hearing this and want to see pics on July 4th!

In regards to why it is taking us so long to announce what we're going to be offering, there are a couple of factors, one of which is that we know that the setting of AC3 pretty much requires that we deliver a staggeringly amazing Special Edition for North America, so we have been working very hard on meeting that expectation... that said, despite all of our extraordinarily strenuous efforts, it's extremely unlikely that anything resembling an actual Tomahawk will make it into the box. We tried our very best, but rules are rules, hehe.

But an announcement will be coming, in the hopefully very near future... and when it does, please don't hesitate to request a "roll-over" to the Special/Collector's Edition of your choice on your existing pre-order and your retailer should happily comply.'

Yeah, I feel the same about it to. It pisses me off that they do it, but nothing has changed in the last few years, so they'll keep doing it. Will either wait for Join or Die to inevitably drop in price or just grab a PC copy of Ubishop! lol

Also, don't be surprised if you can buy the Connor statue separately after release like they did with the Black Encyclopaedia last year...

Hmm if the past is anything to go by the Freedom edition will rise in value but the join or die will be over produced and will drop quickly.

Yeah, i cancelled my preorder of Freedom Edition and it was totally pain in the ass to get my moneys back from UBISHOP. The whole process took like 4-weeks.
