It was Amazon's decision. Not Biowares or EA's.

I am pretty sure I have this right but I just wanted to clarify, amazon.co.uk Sig ed preorders still get the black emporium (inside the box) just missing out on the sword and shield?

Perhaps, but surely it would be easy enough for Bioware to issue codes for the missing stuff, unless I'm misunderstanding something.

It'd be easier if games companies would quit the "exclusive content" idea altogether anyway, it causes nothing but aggravation.  I'd prefer the special/limited/collector's/whatever edition games to have actual tangible stuff in the box anyway rather than dribs and drabs of random content.

[vometia]

As someone pointed out on the Amazon forums, they may be referring to the post-deadline product; sometimes I'm never entirely sure what I'm going to get until it turns up anyway, so maybe I should wait and see and get in a mood then if there's stuff missing.

Besides, I should know better than to post when I'm already in an utter strop.  I should do something more productive like going to sleep.

As of right now, thats correct yes.

Until I get the SE in my hand I'm going to be waiting for another screw up that will leave me with the vanilla edition or something. This whole thing has been too complicated and messed up for me not to expect every single thing that can go wrong to go wrong.

[Victia]

Druss99, that's pretty much where I am amazon have always been good in the past but now I am expecting the worst esp with game and play being idiots too!

[Druss99]

It looks more like a screw up on the EA/Bioware side than amazon and game to be honest. I've no idea whats going on with play.com thats just ridiculous and proves my point about this all being too complicated.

It does have a bit of a whiff of "designed by committee" about it.  I remember in the olden days when things used to be simpler...

Committee isn't the word I would use but I share your sentiments.

I'd like to have so info regarding amazon.co.uk selling the USA edition of the game. I've already contacted amazon but no reply so far. It'd be great if Bioware could look into this as it's kind of a big deal (in the sense that the game will end up not being compatible with any of the European DLC if that's really the case)

[scottmcfarland]

Thanks to multiple layers of bonus content, retailers who may or may not be selling that content and the additional spanner in the works of the Mac version of the game being a dual PC/Mac dvd that no one is yet labelling as such in product descriptions, I am now confused and totally frustrated.



Bioware I want to give you *money*. Please stop this madness and let me do that.

The PS3 version is the only Signature Edition listed as USA, so if you have purchased on the 360 or PC it does not seem like you need to worry.

Rather odd that they'd be selling the US edition for the PS3 though.

[MorrigansLove]

This is complete BULL!

Oh great, I bet it's like Awakening then. The PS3 version not being released in Europe at all

Have you heard anything back? This is quite concerning.

Amazon UK is not selling the US Version.

It looks like one of their users has posted it up in the marketplace. Hence they are offering it for sale for £129.00 instead of £25.00 and there's only one copy available.

Probably someone trying to make a quick buck.

I got the reply, it seems that amazon itself is selling the EU edition, it's just the marketplace sellers that have the USA edition.

[Childofbaahl]

Well today's the final day that myself and others should be waiting for Amazon to officially reply...if not then it looks like it was just a plaoy to pacify us... guess that didn't work...

I dont agree.

Well I think perhaps Bioware's marketing is partially to blame here because they are notoriously bad in the past and I reckon its safe to assume that they didnt communicate the required information in the right way at least as near as I can tell from the information we have.
But I think their share of the blame is the lesser here because its Amazon.co.uk's fault for not having a clue and for opting out of the promotions for no apparent reason; Bioware COULD issue codes to those who have bought and registered the game on ere via email or something but they dont have to and they certainly arent required to because get this it isnt there fault that Amazon opted out.

If they did so it would be purely a goodwill gesture because they love us; not one person here has a right to act like Bioware are totally to blame, and that they are ENTITLED to something that bioware created and is giving away for free. I am sorry you guys, but you dont have the right to be offended at Bioware for this and you dont have the right to demand bugger all from them.

I also dont agree that its too complicated; its fairly simplistic. You would have to be an idiot not to understand how DLC works in this day and age if you deal with computers and games on a regular basis.
DLC has been a staple of modern gaming for the last 10 years; if you dont know about DLC and how it works by now then you must be a retarded monkey. I am sorry but its true.
It isnt hard, its been around for a decade, and is set to become more widespread. If you are a gaming retailer (or work for one) then you have no excuse not to know how to deal with DLC.
