Done With Mike1888 Thanks to him

So it's a "metal case" [tin case??] for the US/Canada being the only difference?!?
I wonder if it's worth it for that price?? [US$60 + ship]

hang the **** on a minute this AND ace combat had steelbook release planned and NOW both dropped for EU? could somebody correct me if im wrong?

I've never known Dark Souls to have gotten a 'steelbook case' to begin with, the main changes it had was about the strategy guide turning into a DLC instead of a physical book!

EU Contains:

• The Dark Souls game [Cardboard Digi-Pak game case]
• The Artbook
• The Making of DVD
• The Official Sound Track CD
• The 'Complete' game guide (downloadable)

US Contains:

• Limited edition art book
• Mini-strategy guidebook
• Soundtrack for digital download
• Standard edition game
• Custom-designed metal case

There is quite a difference between the two regions, while the US gets a tin [which is pretty nice] their guide book is only a basic version though the EU gets a full digital version instead [far more helpful if required imo].
At least having the CD for the soundtrack will allow you to transfer it to your mp3/ipod players rather than limiting it to your console(?).

I may have to consider getting both types then
Btw, I still have 2 sealed copies of The Black Phantom Edition [translation = I haven't played the first game]

Thanks for the info, I pre-ordered both of them awhile back so that's great to hear

First game was absolutely incredible. Can't wait to play the 2nd one!

Anyone know if the EU behind the scenes disc is region locked? I'm interested in the one for PS3 and am hoping it is a region free blu-ray disc instead of a PAL dvd. Thanks.

hi folks!

question:

Is this Limited Edition a "day one ONLY" limited edition? You can get it only if your preorder it, not after (same as Demon's Souls Black Phantom Edition?)

What do you think the value of this limited edition will be in the future, both for brand new & sealed and used?
