Will the US LE ship on time? | Forums

I was just wondering if the US Limited Edition will ship on time since it includes the strategy guide, and the strategy guide appears to be shipping a week after the game.

Thanks,
Dan

The answer to your question, Dan, is yes - I was looking at UBi's website yesterday and came across a page which said that if you order Myst V (normal) and the strategy guide separately, you can ask Ubi to ship Myst V without waiting for the guide. Plus they've committed to delivering all editions pre-ordered on time for the first 400 customers or money back!

Now the question is....

How can you tell if you are among the 1st 400?

Well, if you ordered before they made the announcement (which, luckily, I did), then you're one of the first 400.

Does UBISOFT post anywhere just how many orders have already been placed? Has anybody heard what the response so far has been?

Ok, sounds good I ordered the Limited Edition on 7/23.

But wait a minute, I just looked again at the site again. It says the first 400 "European" order. I guess it does not apply to me then.

I also noticed it said something about a Collector's Edition for the US, but the store only offers a Limited edition and a Standard edition. Can I assume the Collector's edition and the Limited edition are the same? Or did I order too early?

Can you assume the Collector's edition and the Limited edition are the same?

From the US Ubisoft Store's Myst V: End of Ages Limited Edition page:

"About the Limited Edition:

Beautifully designed and packed with bonus content, the Limited Edition offers Myst fans a memorable gift to mark the end of the series:

• A 22-minute video, made by GameTap, offers a retrospective look at the making of the entire franchise.
• The original game soundtrack transports fans to the ambient worlds of Myst whenever and wherever they like.
• A collector's art piece provides a frame-able keepsake from the worlds of Myst.
• The official strategy guide helps new and old explorers progress through this final adventure."


From the European Ubisoft Store's MYST V: END OF AGES Collector's Edition page (click on the Union Jack on the left side for English):

"This Limited Edition includes:

• Myst V : End of Ages game on DVD-ROM

• Exclusive bonus DVD with:
- 25 minutes Making-of
- Game soundtrack
- Game trailers

• Exclusive collector booklet (152 pages) including:
- Intro from Rand Miller
- Exclusive world-premiering preview of the new Myst book (“The Book of Marrimâ€Â�, written by Rand Miller).
- D’ni language grammar & dictionary
- Previous Myst games overview
- Artwork gallery"


So, the answer is - not really!
