What version of SH4 will you get??

[bookworm_020]

I'm interested in seeing what version of the game people will buy. Please post any feedback on which version and why.

[Ark]

Whatever version comes with the Ubisoft pre-order.

I don't really care about extra stuff.

I'de like to know that too US early Ubi\US preorder called.

[bookworm_020]

You guys are quick off the mark!:huh:

I'm getting the collector's edition, as it's the best Australia can get for the money. The Delux ed. just cost too much to ship to Australia.:cry:

[Yak]

Well I have to get a computer first... :oops:

[livewire68]

The preorder version from UBI. From what I understand, it will have some "extra" stuff - which will be nice!!:D

[CCIP]

1) Download version, from Ubi (no extras there :-?)
2) Special Edition, from EB games or another local game store by the end of March

(I want two copies to have one to share with my brother, and it gives me the excuse of getting one downloaded so I don't have to wait for it to ship :p)

[elite_hunter_sh3]

i preordered from ubi , the north american store version better be the collectors edition otherwise ill crack and probably trash the store:arrgh!:

[Safe-Keeper]

I'll buy the one I find in the store I've got gift cards for;).

[StandingCow]

SH4 U.S. First release Collector Edition here.

I preordered from ubi\us 2-10-07 what was called deluxe edition that is supposed to have extras for a limited time till they run out for $61.10. If it turns out to be the plain jane one I'll let American Express deal with it.
They have buyer protection for their cardholders.

[Crosseye76]

U.S. Collectors. I'd like the UK Deluxe, but It's too pricey for my taste.

[Ark]

U.S. Collectors. I'd like the UK Deluxe, but It's too pricey for my taste.

Yeah, what is it, about $150 or thereabouts with shipping?

Ack.

[FIREWALL]

This is what I mean. Nobody knows EXACTLY what the preorder from
UBI\USA is called. For christs sake I've heard worldwide it called a half a dozen names muchless in the US. Hell I think some of you have even madeup a couple.:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

As I heard it there are 3 Editions WORLDWIDE.
1. standard sold at stores at release.
2.deluxe sold at preorder with extras ubi\usa
3.collectors sold at preorder with tin box ect. ubi\uk only. Not able to preorder in USA.

[Drebbel]

Collectors, and some other version. But it is impossible to enter that, I van only tick one box :arrgh!:

[flintlock]

I'll just be happy to have the game installed and running, regardless of what edition I end up with.

[fire-fox]

will i origenely ordered the collecters throue the subsim/amazone.uk store (the version without the big books and films/pens and othe crap) but then when ub! uk store offerd the 3000 copy's of the mega-super-dupper-one-with-cherres-on-top metal box one (one with a pen) i cansiled the subsim one and orded rom ub! instead. saw sorry neal:-?

[FIREWALL]

[TheSatyr]

Whatever version it is that Amazon is selling...which I suspect is the garden variety version. (Least Subsim should make a little off the sale)

[macky]

i went with the uk collectors, mainly because it was the same price in amazon as the standard one:smug:

[AJ!]

i went with the uk collectors, mainly because it was the same price in amazon as the standard one:smug:

Same here.... problem is i think i also ordered the Ubi store super commodore tin box edition as well but i cant check my email to cancel :rotfl:

[Ragtag]

Pre-ordered the Deluxe and the standard version :)
I wanted the subdocumentary in the deluxe version.

[It762]

standard..

[PAW]

In UK the standard version is priced higher than the collectors edition (strangely) so i'll be getting the collectors edition. I was going to get it anyway cos of the recognition manual.

I remember the days when sims had big chunky wadges of information about the inside game. Bought ARMA the other day. A soldier sim they call it. The manual looked like an unfinished after thought.
Bought Longbow 2 back in the days of windows 95, got a flight manual that i still havn't finished reading to this day. Plus it only cost me 30 quid. Didn't need the collectors edition back then to get your money's worth.

[Sailor Steve]

While I would love to have the printed ID book and other goodies, I'll have to satisfy myself with whatever I can afford, and that includes computer upgrades as well, so it's the regular version for me.

[Spaxspore]

Whatever version comes with the Ubisoft pre-order.

I don't really care about extra stuff.

same here thats all amazon has and i get 1.99$ overnight shipping from them. Cant beat that.

[FIREWALL]

Good Morning Sailor Steve. I just got a new laser printer so I'll print up the extra Doc's and send in mail. Sorry can't help with upgrades unless you want a fx5600 vid card. Thats the area I had to upgrade. And i don't think that will be any help to you. Btw a little ot but how goes the battle?
Hope alls well with you. :up:

[Kapitan_Phillips]

Collectors Edition here. The kind of go-between from stock game and uber-ridiculous Deluxe :p

[Snowman999]

I'm interested in seeing what version of the game people will buy. Please post any feedback on which version and why.

Whatever version is stocked by Target (600 yards away), or BestBuy (four miles.) Whichever comes first . . .

[Nikita]

Commodore 64 version.

Hardware malfunction, Sir!

[Sailor Steve]

Btw a little ot but how goes the battle?
Hope alls well with you. :up:
Quite well, thank you. As for printed ID manuals, it's the thought of having one of their "official" ones. I don't really need one to play the game; I'm sure the in-game one will be the one to use no matter what. Thanks, though.

[aanker]

Just bought the Standard version from Amazon thru the subsim link to own a hard copy but I plan to download the downloadable version to play...... (nope, no brother... just me) lol

[leeclose]

As long as it works and has no bugs:damn: damm oh wait silly me i must be thinking about another game oh well i live in hope:up:

[nikimcbee]

I love US subs, so bring on the extra stuff.:rock:

[flyingdane]

The only one i can bye its the us one. :smug:

[Danish_Squid]

I'm getting the collectors edition, a couple of reasons for it 1) more candy for the simmer than the vanilla version, 2) pretty easy to obtain in DK

Now all I need is to get my PC back in working order.

Cheers
Staffan

[Driftwood]

Ok, stupid question........How do you know which version you are getting? On Amazon and Ubisoft site I'm not seeing any significant difference in price. And when you go to order it, there is no option for standard, deluxe, collector's, etc.:hmm:

[leeclose]

If you want to buy the uber special editon you can do it thru the main subsim website http://www.subsim.com/store.html happy hunting mate:up:

[Driftwood]

Thanks for the tip Lee! :up: Order is placed and the excitement continues to build! :arrgh!:

[leeclose]

No worrys and enjoy it when it comes mate:up:

[MaciejK]

Amazon UK Collector's Exclusive version;)

[aanker]

This one:

"All New Premium Content Including: Premium packaging with special treatment, a robust manual with enhanced ships charts and historical information, a historic map of the Pacific Theater, a replica medal, soundtrack CD and a quick-reference card."

Anyway, Can't wait for Mar 28 - 30 to find out! It's been 10 years.

[leeclose]

[elite_hunter_sh3]

[Sulikate]

I'm getting the standard version:arrgh!:

[elite_hunter_sh3]

is the collectors editon in the store availability possible????

[xboxer]

Collector's edition.

It's only $8 more than the normal edition where I live in.

The deluxe edition is way too expensive after conversion from GBP.

[leeclose]

Well my Silent Hunter 4: Wolves of the Pacific Collector's Edition is costing my 25 quid via amazon and im getting it on teh 22nd so not complaining i aint compared prices to anywhere else in the UK ya just know its going to be silly money in the shops:up:

[elite_hunter_sh3]

please i need to know from anyone who works in major retail stores ie.ebgames, best buy, futureshop, will the sh4 they sell be the collectors editon, or just the game by itself, i want the dvd and the 100page manual i want this package,

The collector edition includes
* Silent Hunter 4: Wolves of the Pacific on PC DVD-ROM, the manual, a quick reference card and a map of the Pacific Ocean.
* A Recognition Manual containing the full technical specifications of all 88 authentic looking war machines featured in the game.
* The original soundtrack of the game, composed and played by Rod Abernethy and Jason Graves.
* The official iron-on arm patch of the game.

[yankee-V]

Amazon - Standard edition I suppose. 47.99 + S&H

Shipping estimate for these items: March 14, 2007
Delivery estimate: March 16, 2007 - March 17, 2007

Guess not, eh?

[NefariousKoel]

Commodore 64 version.

Hardware malfunction, Sir!
Does that come with the warm half-melted plastic smell of far too many hours on the C64?

[bookworm_020]

Commodore 64 version.

Hardware malfunction, Sir!

I wonder if there will be a Apple IIe version coming out?:hmm: I wonder what the disk requirements would be!:huh:

[Akula]

I remember when there was a poll or question that was asked about what content would you like to see in deluxe addition or rather would you be interested in a deluxe addition of Silent Hunter

I did say I would, and I only whish that they did that for SH3 too, which is still a great game by the way!!!! and will continue to be for a long, long time.

So yes, I am getting the deluxe addition

Can't wait, but is hasn't been posted yet :(

[leeclose]

Other than few a things Ie the coins etc the diffrence between the collecters ed wich i am gettin and the deluxe IMHO is not really worth the 50 GBP i would rather buy the game and have the 25 quid to get somethig like the subsim almanac and a decent book about WW2:up:

[elite_hunter_sh3]

Arrghh!

My Amazon order is still reading not shipped yet.

:down:

[bookworm_020]

Only 194 of the DE version of SH4 still left.

I can only wish and pray that I win one as the cost of buying and shipping to Australia ($158) is a little out of the price range:cry:

I guess my CE Version will have to do, I don't need a new mouse mat!:yep:
