I'll take whichever version arrives in my mailbox between 03/20 and 03/26. Should be the US version listed. I really don't care about metal boxes full of junk.

I know it's a bit OT but I'm tired of hearing that the DE is a 'metal box full of junk'.By saying that you run down guys like me who bought it. I agree that the DE contains some things that are not really necessary but what you guys from the US seem to forget is that we only get the documentary by buying the DE. That's actually the only reason for me (and for many others I assume) to buy the DE. So please get off one's high horse!

With the release date so close I guess that's it for Development Diaries? I don't blame 'em, the developers probably got real busy towards the end.

TDK1044 · 03-07-07, 09:39 AM

US Edition: Available 3/20/07
US/Canada Packaging
$49.99

So do they ship on that date or attemt to deliver on that date? I can't remember what happened with SH3?

I think that is the date is ships.

I wonder, do pre-ordered sent in advance? Or on the day of the release?

Settle down hyperion ... I bet if you put the extra's up for sale here on SH4's own little ebay for submarine items (hey that's not a bad idea) fellow sub simmers would be fighting over them ...

How much you want to bet?

I guess 'stuff' would have been a better word to use rather than 'junk'. The point I was trying to make was that all I want is the game plus a good User Manual, map and quick reference card.
