I just read on a local gaming forum that SH4 is slated for release where I stay (SE Asia) on 21 Mar Wed. Limited orders for the CE, but it costs only $8 (~ US$5) more than the standard game!

Sorry, I just had to post...

But a cynic did say that he expects the release to be 27/3, because the local distributor historically releases about a week late...

Uhm, Southeast Asia ... if Ubi has a 50% mark up I wonder if they get the $4.00 :hmm:

Sounds awfully low ... but you sound like you love the game, go for it

Wait a minute I re-read your post ... you mean $57.99, uh?

Well, the normal game will retail for $54.90
The CE will sell for $62.90

That's about the average price of computer games in my neck of the woods - between $50 - $70 local currency. For comparison US$1 = $1.50 - $1.70 depending on how the US$ does in currency trading.

$8 more?

You must be from Singapore and you got the prices from Gameshop.com.

And that cynic must be from GAX forums eh?

Anyway, someone has already mentioned the stocks will be flying in today and released to retail stores on Wed. Just pray that there is no screw up.

Look on the bright side!!!!

Right you are!

I spoke to the manager of Software Boutique at Funan Ctr during my lunch hour. He confirms that they'll receive SH4 on Wed 21 Mar. Placed a booking for one copy of Collector's Edition.

Did they give you a few bucks off? SB boss is the same as Tec drome in SLS. And they do give a few bucks off most of the time.

He has, in the past, but have to ask one. (For readers, pls pardon my "Singlish").
Never thought of asking...

I'll be getting on Wed. I just hope EVERY store throughout the island has the collector's.
