However, I will just add that there is a weight limit, which I think is either 1Kg or 2Kg. If you're an overseas buyer who wants a standard game, then that's Ok, but if you want a bulky CE like Gears Of War 3, forget it! Your order will be cancelled at the dispatching stage, as they will refuse to send heavy items outside of the UK due to the huge postage costs. SteelBooks and DigiPaks are Ok

Well this is good to know for the future, as often times there are unique and much desired "steelbook" editions for EU, or CA that you cannot find here in USA.

I recently received confirmation that the Resistance 3: Survivor Pack will indeed be exclusive to GAME and the GAME Group here in the UK!

Here's my initial Tweet to them:

And here's their responses:

Thanks for spreading the word.

Notch that down as a +1 for using Twitter!

Was there someone here willing to help US customers obtain a "survivor" edition somehow through preorder? How would that work? I'd do it through ebay if any of you have an ebay account. You could simply list an extra copy there and I'll buy it. I think ebay would be the "safest" way to do a transaction...

Also, could anyone please tell me if the DLC codes that come with the Special Edition are going to be usable in North America (or restricted to PAL regions?) Would really suck, because it'd mean if I want any DLC at preorder I'd have to buy my own US copy. It is most often the case that (I think, correct me if I'm wrong) that PAL DLC will not work for NTSC regions and vice versa.

foreverflash you should post in the wanted section, there are many Euro members will to export to the USA.

Ah I see. I'm still kind of new to CE.o so wasn't sure. Do the Euro members in wanted section do "preorder" stuff?

The Survivor Edition has been removed. I wonder why. I was going to ask GAME if they knew what the price was going to be and if it would exceed the weight limit for shipping to the US. I hope it hasn't been cancelled.

It's now on Gamestations website? Maybe they got the exclusivity deal instead?

JB HiFi Australia has this edition and more. According to their site they can offer to ship it internationally. I don't know if it's limited to some countries nor do I know the cost, but you can give it a go and see how much it'll cost and whether it's worth it or not. they also accept Paypal

Price is AU$179 +p&h

Thanks for the info. AU$179 is alot of money. I sent a message to Gamestation asking if they think it can be shipped to the US. If not or if it is also expensive there, I may just settle for the Special Edition.
