So put that in your pipe
they are all party to the milked cow system and we are the cause

But everyone makes out like UBisoft is the bad guy in all this and that pocket watch edition of the game from Amazon, isn't even made by UBisoft, designed made and packaged by amazon, they just drop an UBisoft game in with it

dragon age stuff

is it worth it?

• Extremely Limited Availability: This premium edition will be printed only once, and the quantities are limited. This is a one time printing!
• 368-page Collector's Edition hardcover guide with unique cover treatments matching the container
• Four faux leather bookmarks topped with metal headers, stamped with Dragon Age faction emblems, and backed with colored ribbons matching the faction colors
• Stylized pen with Inquisition logo presented in a themed box
• Includes bonus in-game items

not really a collector no more so i cannot say

when buying games i wont really pay more than an extra 5 or ten for premium content and now i like dlc if it comes with a steel bonus but not fussed

as for strategy guides i do not need them, if i get stuck youtube

they do need ubis express consent and agreement and ubi do profit from it

but that said there are very few companies who are not about making money

the as much as possible for as little cost as possible is pretty much forgetten in this day and age

Well personally i as just talking about a game guide being glorified. Not singling out AC or Ubi.

BTW, whats the deal with that Amazon Watch Edition anyways?

Hmmm... thanks for the pics Lil - that chalice doesn't really look all that nice though. Looks like a cheap piece of plastic Maybe that's just a prototype?

Also, I had seen the Dragon Age one, but not the Prima FF one, TO THE INTERNET!


Lastly, aside from the huge cost on this my main concern is probably:
"WILL THIS FIT IN MY BOOK SHELF WITH ALL THE OTHER GUIDES OR LOOK STUPID?!"

OK so I had a community support guy (who works for ubi and is t just another employee bus actually knows his stuff)
He said that UBisoft only make the ones sold by UBisoft,
And that the Amazon pocket watch editions is certified or licences or something like that but not made by ubisoft


And knight
The pewtery type image is just a 2d concept image
The plastic looking thing is a the concept model
Final will be metal

I see. I bet that will be no where near like the rare-ish Black Flag watch. That was only rare-ish because it was on an obscure site believe.

Cup will be metal or metal looking?

Well most Amazon editions for any game are usually rare
And most non official yet still licenses products are usually rare
This is because they don't make the 100,000 that the studio makes and usually just enough to cover orders plus 5-10%

Not sure on the metal or metal looking
Depends what the description from prima says (goes to check)
It doesn't say but as of right now, besides toys, every AC thing that has come out, if it was meant to be metal then it was metal, so that's the presidency we have for expecting this to be cast metal in some really cheap allow that looks antique

I just mean it will in no way be as rare as the Black Flag one, in case people were under that assumption. I could be wrong but the fact it is on one of the main retailers sites as opposed to one that probably does no move a quarter of what Amazon does...

Again, could be way off...
