Before, if you pre-order a game, you get the usual CE stuff(physical version) and get an exclusive DA mug.

I pre-ordered today. And I saw an updated poster, we got the European items as well!

SWEET!

[Christmasfanatic]

Oh and I just realized it says WOODEN CASE! not the tin can!

[gotthammer]

Ayos!

I guess that's also available even if I pre-ordered before that poster came out, ya?

Is that better?

[Eoweth]

... if we'd had that in the US I'd have definitely ordered it rather than the digital version. Lucky yous.

[Nikator]

Not only do you get an awesome box, the mug... But also the European items! Totally unfair. I'm really jealous of you guys, getting the, in my opinion, coolest CE (The box alone makes it worth it), but congratulations are in order, I suppose! Cheers.

Wow. Well played EA Phillipines marketing. Well played.

[Christmasfanatic]

Dont be jealous! We hardly get such treatment. EA is really hands on with the Philippines, the rest are so so, or even overpriced.



@gothammer - wooden case, I cant tell if its better, but its unique. Cuz they get a tin-can which is very common in a lot of CE.

Damn I would feel so badass with a dragon age mug. Drinking coffee would be a whole new experience

I definitely prefer the wood box over the tin case. I would have bought that version if it was available here.

[Christmasfanatic]

Oh and PC CE version is around $52 more or less. PS3/360 - $58.

Maybe check e-bay? lol. Though from what the storemanager told me(its only available in a certain video game store company), it is very limited. All will be released same day as US(Nov. 3) - meaning 13 hours ahead of US!

I do hope so! 

As for the EA 'good treatment' comment...I dunno. Maybe it's just the region? Are any of our neighbours getting similar deals? Hong Kong? Indonesia? Malaysia? I think Singapore has it's own promo, right?
That or it's just to entice people away from piracy...I mean, you could walk into a Mall and get games cheaper than a meal at McDonald's.

As for game prices (original stuff), I think most of the stuff sold at DataBlitz is close to the international price. I've actually been surprised that some games (some from EA some from other publishers) were cheaper than their online dollar price. Still, DBlitz doesn't get everything... (had to order several CEs online over the years)

Dragon Age mug would be neat. Also like the wooden case.

Piracy I guess and maybe they are also being agressive to new markets. As much as a lot hates EA, I still think they are just doing business. Oh well, not really into delving much about a company. Anyway, their Sims 2 are 50% til Christmas; a lot of EA games have pre-order advertisments and stuffs. So I guess they really made an deal with DB.

You can get any CE from DB, just make sure to order from them. I got the WC3 CE when it was released. But it was 5k pesos! lol. But hey, saves you the pain of waiting from US sites, plus the shipping. Same thing with little difference in the end IMO. So online, I just use it for Blu-ray discs - way cheaper and not heavy.

[Count Viceroy]

Agreed. that mug is pretty sweet.

[GhoXen]

Hey.. are those mugs? =(



In NZ we get the European items, tin case and the usual stuffs. No mugs though.

News to me. I ask them regularly about CEs, but some they never had (or accepted my orders for). This was the case w/ the CE/Ltd.Ed. for Hellgate: London, Tabula Rasa and Age of Conan. (hehehe...all disappointing games, I know)
Heck, I've been asking if they can get me CE for TLJ:Dreamfall and some other games (I wanted to play Drakensang, for instance...I think they still don't have it) for a while now...

Sorry if it's a bit OT.

A mug of awesome makes me jealous.

I guess it only counts for highly-anticipated games with assured sales. WoW got them, Sims, C&C...

[Christmasfanatic]

Dang. Store said they have shipment already but sadly, cant sell it til release date. They just called to tell me my CE is 100% sure on time(cuz I kept nagging).

[Kilsot]

I am so jealous.

[Lord_Rian]

Wooden case = Instant win. Seriously, I would have ordered that and gladly waited out the time it took to ship to Canada, that's so incredibly unique it boggles the mind!

[IIsatar]

Am I the only one who thinks the wooden case looks cheap? I mean the wood they use isn't anything spectacular nor does it look particularly impressive...In fact, it's just a sliding-top mechanism from what I can see. Two grooves cut into a box and a cover made.
