Final Fantasy Xiii-2 Crystal and Collector's Edition announced

[kennyrh]

I know it's a bit off-topic but didn't one of the big American retailers open up all the editions of . . .Deus Ex HR CE, I think it was . . .to take some DLC out. Presumably all those who ordered it from there got an unsealed copy.

Bloody disgrace

Yes wasn't sure it was the CE but it was Gamestop who open up all the Deus Ex to remove a free trial of their rival company and then for those who pre-order it they try to label the game as "new"

Also I have a question if I play the UK FF XIII-2 and use the UK DLC pre-order code for it on a US PS3/PSN account would it still work? Also if I buy a US DLC for FF XIII-2 would it work on a UK FF XIII-2?

Fitzgera1d, i know that BestBuy has the ability to re-shrink wrap games, and one time i was at Gamestop, and i was buying a "new" game, and the box was unsealed, so i asked for a sealed copy, and they said.."this is our last one"..but,.."i can shrink wrap this for you, we have a machine in the back, and it's pretty quick and easy once i set it up"....so i'm wondering if this "shrink wrapping machine"..is in the back of every gamestop store?..maybe if we asked nicely ..they could do us a small favor, and reshrink wrap our Aussie editions and at least we'd feel better . and pretend it's the real deal

I'm not sure how it works on PSN, but i tried to reedem my XBL code on my European console, on my American account and it didn't want to go through. I had to make an European account. So even if it does work, chances are you will still need to make an European account and download it from the store there.

Part answer:

PAL DLC code = Requires a PAL region PSN. Either use a UK or Australia PSN, codes will work on almost any PAL PSN unless otherwise stated.

US DLC code = US game disc only, it will not work for PAL game disc unfortunately.

[Lightning00]

Aw dam I wanted to keep my US FF XIII-2 sealed too because I was planning to use my code from the UK FF XIII-2 and play that one =S. I guess I might have to ask someone to trade codes or buy the others x_x

Just showing my crystal edition from FFXIII-2 and the steelbook pre-order:




Imo this is a great collector's edition, i love the box the most where everything is in contained. :>

DLC tends to be region/disc specific so be careful. Uncharted for example is disc specific despite UK and AU being PAL (promos can also be different!)

One thing I also liked about this Crystal Edition was the tray. I liked the feather debossing (?) on the tray. Everything bar the artbook was nicely made (could argue about OST but that was still decent for a digipak). I strongly believe artbooks shouldn't be included unless it's shown off in a larger format, well binded book. Alas, each title has a budget allocated...

[Matrix6]

Sorry, Lightning00, it's just the way it is. Though you don't really need to use the DLC codes, the game should be great with or without it

@OniRyo: Very nice, I like your floor too
