Not happy about no steam se edition. But gamersgate will do.

This.

And seeing as I vote with my money, I'll not pre-order DAII unless it's the Steam version.

And even if you don't agree with that you have to agree that it is silly that EA doesn't offer the SE on a platform as huge as Steam

[Pixieking]

Okay. Since the SE isn't coming to Steam, I would like to know something.



Are the SE bonus features exclusive to the SE, or will they be available as to-buy-DLC after January 11th? I would assume that they'd be available as to-buy-DLC, but there were certain pre-order items in DA:O that weren't/aren't available to buy even now. If the bonus items/missions/PC are going to be available later on, then I'll just delay my purchase until the (inevitable) standard edition release on Steam.



(Also, it may seem a silly question, but I've not actually read a canon answer, so... )

Actually, I think, right now you can preorder dragonage for 'just the game' and it get's upgraded to SE and you save some money too. I could be wrong, but that's what Iam understanding.

So, I am looking at all the preorder crap. Why are all the US preorder sites only carrying the "Signature Edition" at $60? I thought you could get the regular edition and it was a free upgrade before January 11????

Cheapest I've seen it lately: http://www.cdwow.us/...9870571#bc=2518

Great, thanks!  $60 would be the most expensive regular version of a PC game I have ever purchased.  Usually they come in around $48 or $49.

"Canon" answer was already provided by (Evil) Chris Prienstly on page 7 of this thread.  Re-posted below so you don't have to scroll through.  (See the next-to-last sentence):

As I have said, we are updating our page with retailers as we get confirmation from the retailers that their pre-order page is ready. Just because you do not see your favorite store or country listed does not mean it is excluded. It just means we haven't updated the page yet. Check with yur local preferred retailer or online vendor to be sure.

Oh and:

THIS IS THE COLLECTOR's EDITION

After January 11, 2011 people will still be able to buy Dragon Age 2, but it will be a standard copy without all the cool free stuff included in the Signature Edition.

So get to ordering.

Sad, so I won't get the signature edition. If DA2 will not be released on Steam at all, I won't get it as well.

I don't appreciate this move, but it seems as if BioWare does not want satisfied customers. If BioWare does not release it on Steam at all, they don't even want my money. Strange for a company, usually they always just want my money.

No Steam version confirmed!? Hmmm...not sure if I'm going to even bother DA2 at this point. Serious buzzkill. I get all of my PC games on Steam for a reason.

I assume the standard edition will be available for purchase on Steam, just you won't be able to pre-order till sometime after the 11th of January.

[Darc_Requiem]

EA just gave Steam users the finger. As a Steam user, it doesn't make me inclined to buy whatever edition of DA2 they deem us worth of.

[blothulfur]

Just checking up on prices between digital downloads and preordering a hard copy from game and i'd have to pay a tenner more to download, one would think shipping and packaging would increase the cost not decrease it weird.

I'd like to download it and thus make sure bioware the makers get more of the profit but a tenners a tenner so i'll be tootling on down to game when the snow shifts, just thought i'd throw this out to you folk at bioware as it seems a bit screwy.

No problem.  I know what it's like to hunt for a good deal.

[see_kay]

They just lost a sale with me. No steam is a deal breaker for me.

I personally will never understand why people are so stuck on this digital download crap. I'm old fashioned. I absolutely MUST ALWAYS have a real disc that I can hold. Not some invisible data that may or may not actually be yours, depending on the download site. One reason why I think OnLive is a piece of crap (you do not truly own anything on OnLive, just renting it. They can always just remove the game from their servers so you can't play it ever again, money down the drain!) 

Downloadable add-ons for games are fine, but digital download games? Forget it. Give me a real physical disc any day. When I pay money for something I want to feel like I actually OWN it. 

[Pixieking]

Tbh, I'm moving entirely to digital downloads. I'm just so fed up of buying a game and then either having to have the disc in the drive, or downloading a NoCD crack from somewhere.



Anyways... On Topic - Thanks for the replies. I think with all the awesome games being released in the first few months of the year, I'll leave DA2 til the Steam version is released.

[mcneil_1]

I wonder if they are going to explain why the SE is not going to be on Steam (perhaps Steam is going to get a Steam only exclusive Special Edition ).

[afroyarou]

So no Steam release of sig edition, huh? I have KoTOR, JE, both ME games and DAO with it's addon on Steam, so is there a reason for me to suddenly buy DA2 from anywhere else? No, there is no reason. EA sure does want to raise sales of it's own digital store. I guess I'll wait for some kind of ultimate edition or at least for standart edition's price drop if those will ever be available to buy through Steam.



I used to be part of the Community, but now I'm just a Steam user. :sad me:

[solmyr-fr]

The answer is probably already given (but I didn't read the 60 pages of the topic...), so sorry for that.



Do someone know why Amazon.co.uk sell the Signature Edition but do not describes the additional content in the page ( http://www.amazon.co...D/dp/B0047GNN7K ) ? Moreover this site is not in the Bioware Pre-Order page (even if there is amazon.com, amazon.fr amazon.de ...). It's strange.



Thanks

You know if EA screw steam over in DA 2 theyll probably do the same thing with Mass Effect 3.

[Cypher0020]

Awesome! I get one "big" Christmas present, and since I beat DAO for the first time last night.... I'm gonna hop on amazon and preorder sometime later today

Definitely- there seems to be something going on between EA and Valve in terms of getting EA's games on Steam in a timely fashion. You had Hot Pursuit come on Steam about 1 month after release and games like Dead Space 2 coming out the end of January not available to preorder on Steam. Either EA wants to funnel people into their own digital download store or something is going on.

Yep. Thankfully for ME. I started that series on Xbox. So any further EA douchbaggery towards Steam wouldn't be directly effect me. It will still ****** me off on principle though. I mean I got pissed when I heard about the save game limit problems console gamers had to deal with on DA:O and I only own the game for PC via Steam of course.

[Tamahome560]

Just pre-ordered Signature Edition along with the Witcher 2 Collectors Edition ... Now I have to get DA:O Ultimate Edition ... Might get Deus Ex HR ... then there is TES V and ME3 later next year ... 2011 will be the year of RPG games!

Just pre-ordered Dragon age 2 at cdon.no (also known as cdon.com),

so to the scandinavians out there you can now have your copy reserved there.

(they also have a digital download though I've never used that so *shrug*)



I still kinda like the "box" although I tend to dig up a no-cd after a while, I hope DA2 won't insist on being in the drive while playing.

[RocShemp]

I pre-ordered here: http://www.cdwow.us/...9870571#bc=2518

It's the same place I got my ultimate edition of Dragon Age Origins. They're quick to ship and the price is right.
