Gamestop has started taking preorders for a Gamestop edition to be released this November, which is when the last few games have been released. All have had Special Editions with them. What does everyone think will be in them? What would be realistic to have in them? And will they finally do away with the regionalizing the special editions (I'm american and we always get versions that are FAR inferior to the European/PAL version). Does anyone know why they even do that(it can't be the differences in currency or you wouldn't see the "Black Edition" and "Codex Edition" going and selling consistantly on ebay for easily double or even triple the price even with the currency exchanged)?

agreed. Ubisoft you have screwed me over on 3 of the LE versions of AC, that's right I even pre-ordered the first one wayyy back in 2007 and each and every time you have screwed me out of the good European version and this time I told myself if the Americans get screwed one more time I'm getting the regular version of the game, I won't buy the crap version every again, A jack in the box!?! wtf!? the Europeans get a badass codex box with cards and we get a p.o.s jack in the back, and don't even get me started on the first two editions for the I and II. please let us all get the same awesome edition! or at least give us all something that is cool and not something wayyy inferior.

Yeah i saw that...they said the bonuses are:
-Extended Gameplay Mission
-Enhanced Weapon Capabilities
-Turkish Harlequin Multiplayer Skin
-Animated Short Film
-In-Game Soundtrack
And they also said the game is set for release 02/11/2011 on all the platforms,including PC ,highly doubt that.

GameStop needs to grow a pair and tell Ubisoft that either N. America gets the same CE or we won't sell it in our stores in N. America and in our EbGames stores in Australia. If other companies can make their CE's the same globally, I don't know why Ubisoft can't do the same as well.

I have been told that it has something to do with different importation restrictions. However, other Publishers and Developers such as EA, Activision, Bungie, Epic, MS, Bioware and others have made universal Collector's Editions. As Europeans are quick to point out to us N. Americans that it's because Ubisoft is an European company even though the majority of development is centered at Ubisoft Montreal. I say give us an universal CE, but it won't happen and N. Americans will be treated as second class citizens by Ubisoft.

Fianlly someone treats North Americans how they should be treated, second class citzen!... You're the cause of terrorism -.-''

Signature Editions are unthoughtful, unimaginative and a cheap way out of having to come up with a proper CE.

Appears they took the EU date format - as in the 2nd of the 11th month..November not February..

Any date in November seen on the web - unless officially announced should be took with a pinch of salt..


As to the Special / collectors editions - it appears that Gamespot have there own 'version' - expect news on the 'real' editions soon - at present there is no information on any special / collectors editions - however time will tell

This obviously won't happen but I hope they include figures/dolls of Altair and Ezio standing back-to-back on a pedastel. 8-9 inch height and highly detailed.

I guess it does look ridiculous when you picture it in your head but at the same time it could be awesome.

I'm from Europe, I get everything.

It's still not fair. Fix it, Ubi.

I didnt get the ACB collectors edition becuase I got screwed with AC2 by getting the two extra maps, and the only way I could get the last one was by buying the bundle that came with the 2nd DLC. In other words I refused to pay and extra 2$ for something I already owned 2/3 of.

Not to mention that a Jack in the Box was kinda of a lame thing to pay an extra 40$ for. at least if I got a Codex Box I would have an awesome place to store my AC stuff.

This time I already pre-ordered my copy of Revelations and since its so early I automatically get bumped up to the Collectors Edition. But Unless I got something really good, I would prolly not get the CE otherwise. Especially since the last Templar lair in AC2 still taunts me to this day and is the only thing that prevent me from getting 100% completion.

Anyways, I would Love a nice Altair statue to go with my Ezio. Or perhaps a Hidden blade brace (though that will never happen)

[SleezeRocker]

Yeah, like bookends but with Altair and Ezio


Kind of like the MK bookends ^ (only as template)

Perhaps make a centerpiece-thing, like on the left Altair, middle have the Animus (or Apple of Eden) and to the right Stairway to Heaven Ezio!

Then through in the usual:

-ACR Soundtrack (on AUDIO disc...NOT BLURAY OR HDVD....AUDIO!!! You know, so I can import on my computer then to MP3 player, or even in car on my way to shcool!)

-Some kind of special edition costume/armor for Ezio)perhaps even both Altair and Demsond???)

-Early access of mutiplayer characters or even abilities of some kind (something online-related)

-Of course the Making of ACR

-Concept Arts

-Assassin Logo Belt Buckle (ok this is optional but wouldn't hurt lol)

-ACR Tshirt or wallposter just for preordering ANY version of ACR :P

-Possibly Beta access as well, but for everyone! (show some love for PC too, im no PC player but im always down for equal gaming)

*Cough- PS3,Xbox,PC online interaction-end of coughing* Takes cough suppresant* Ah feel better now
