SH4 pre-order confusion - Page 3

At the German Amazon site you can finally preorder the collectors edition which includes soundtracks, sew-on badge and a spiral handbook at a cost of 54,99 € .

You are not doing him a favour by calling for an Amazon boycott and also by trying to put pressure on Ubi by saying you won´t buy SH4 unless they give Neal "hard cash support". Such behaviour isn´t helpful and won´t lead to a solution. Neal will try everything to find a better solution, if he can´t, well, the amount of money he would get from Amazon for 500 copies of SH4 wouldn´t be bad.

Many online stores won't sell software across international borders.

Have a closer look: danlisa is from Cornwall, I guess he wanted to say UK instead of US.:rotfl:

However, I suspect rather than being a German exclusive, it will be a European exclusive.

Hehe, I quoted myself.

Sorry for the confusion, I was trying to say that if the German Ubi is offering the Super Collectors Edition via their online store, then it would be for Europe aswell.

However, I also mentioned that it seems that the US is being unfairly (IMHO) treated.

I'm still a bit lost with where to order from

I want this Super Collectors edition, I live in the UK could someone please post a link to where I should be ordering it from.

Thanks

I would love to purchase the game through the Amazon link on SubSim, but I only buy online if I can use PayPal. Amazon doesn't accept PayPal at this time.

I also noticed on Amazon.com, anyone outside of the US is forbidden to purchase SHIV, and this appears to include Canadians.

Wasn't this package going to be available to Canadians for pre-order, as well as Americans? Or is this limitation just an Amazon policy?

G'day,

When you finally think all is revealed, new info gets thrown into the mixer. So, as I understood the majority of prior posts, the options for SH4 were the Normal game and the Collectors edition. And if you pre-orderd from Ubisoft you would get the Collectors edition; h o w e v e r, hyperion2206 posted:

"At the German Ubisoft Forum an Ubi guy tried clear things up. There will be 3 different types of games available:
1. Normal Game (60 page manual, key maps, map of the pacific)
2. Collectors Edition (60 page manual, key maps, map of the pacific, 100 page ship recognition handbook, soundtrack and sew-on badge(s) )
3. Super Collectors Edition (only at ubi shop)"

I re-read all the post here and this is the first mention of a Super Collectors Edition, but no details. What could possibly be included in this version, a full size boat, torps and a crew?

Dont get me wrong, I'm perfectly happy with the pre-order package contents:

* Premium Packaging
* 100+ page manual including reference material
* Fold-out historical map of the Pacific theater
* Fold out ship recognition poster
* Quick Reference Card
* 1-hour of WWII-era documentary footage about U.S. submarines from Periscope Films on a Bonus DVD

but the version info has gone from confusing, to makes sense, back to confusing again. So what included in the Super Collectors Edition?

Cheers

Bob

Are we sure the link on Ubi is the Super Collector's edition? It doesn't mention anything in the game details about extra content.

AJ! · 02-02-07, 10:18 AM

You know alot of confusion could be avoided if you just wait alittle longer before pre-ordering....

I mean if you wait till the end of feb there would be alot more details on the games release packages and you would still have a good 10 days of march for preorders

Stryker412 · 02-02-07, 10:35 AM

That is true and I'm in no rush but it depends on how limited these super special editions are.

mr chris · 02-02-07, 11:13 AM

Im going to wait and order through Subsim as it is my way of helping the site out no matter how little the affect it will have over all. But i have one question.
Do you have to live in the US to order through Subsim could i order and get it sent to Germany. I really dont care how much it costs. It would be nice to get the collectors Edition but if i miss out its something i can deal with.

hyperion2206 · 02-02-07, 01:06 PM

The super collectors edition was mentioned on the German Ubisoft forum by an Ubisoft member and he didn't explain what will be included in the SCE but I guess it would be the SH4 pen.
