Dragon Age: Inquisition ( PC ) - Elimina Scrigno dell'Inquisitore (Non vendibile singolarmente) ( Varie ) - Elimina

Straight off this: http://www.gamestop..../Configure/1123

 

If you hover off the console editions, they're Deluxe Editions, and the pricepoint is in line with the usual (PC always cost less than Console).

 

Dear Roxy, do you think that 38 pages of this thread are all a fuss for nothing? Be lucky that EA in your country didn't had to call on BULLSHIT to explain why they're not selling the PC Deluxe Edition, as they are doing here in Europe.

 

I don't want to rely on the Origin Digital Deluxe, I the right to have the physical box of the Digital Deluxe.

 

Like I've said before, unfortunately BioWare is getting tackled and entangled by EA's marketing bullshit where residents outside of the States are second rate customers.

It was a question, since I wasn't affected, and it confused me since I saw what BioWare had said on the matter. Nothing to get your knickers knotted up over.

I'm rather sorry for you guys, and still concerned that I don't understand why a few serial numbers for the additional content can't be added for INTERNATIONAL FANS.

Didn't wanted to get roughed up or offensive, if that was the feeling, I'm sorry.

 

It's a matter of principles: I am a slightly addicted collector for things I love, especially when it comes for BioWare stuff, and I want the complete package when it's available.

Thing is, it is available (PC Deluxe Edition + Inquisitor Box) but NOT in Europe, and that pisses me off since I can get only the standard edition + inquisitor box.

 

Thanks also for your understanding.. E3 is on the doorsteps, and let's hope they clear a few things up.

Apparently none, or I just cannot see a "Order now" button on Gamestop.no
http://www.gamestop....lectors-edition

EDIT> Huh, apparently I just cannot see the button, as it is not visible on any other game in the catalog...

You have to go down to the store or just call the shop in your region. You can't order it online, the site isn't working properly. I also looked at the site first, hence my surprise when I got to the shop and they had it.

So, I wrote to Dragon Age on facebook, and I got a reply that they are working on a solution to the "no physical deluxe eidtion in EU" problem. So let us hope that they will find a solution soon

[Mirdarion]

Don't you get charged import tax? The other day I was charged import tax on two obitsus that I ordered from Japan... Anything over £15 (€18) is liable for import tax, that's not the problem, IT is only about £3, but then some carriers (Parcelforce) hold on to your parcel and charge you £13 (€15) admin costs before they release it!

 
In Germany the stuff that goes through customs and is marked for taxes will be held back at the customs office closest to your address. You have to go there, pay it and take it with you. The stuff that gets marked as okay (everything below ~25€) comes to you with Deutsche Post (even when it's a parcel, which would usually be sent with DHL).
 
 

From what I can tell, Amazon.com already has a "Import Tax Deposit" as part of international shipping price calculation. that deposit is used to pay off these kinds of fees.

 
 
Amazon.com does NOT pay your customs. The shipping price is not adjusting to the value of your ordered stuff, because it does nothing more than cover the shipping.
 
 
P.S.: If you are living in Germany be careful with "Einfuhrsteuer" (import tax) beside the normal VAT. I don't know exactly when this applies, but sometimes you have to pay this as well...
 
 
P.P.S.: Still no word on the Inquisitors Edition for PC? Nice work...
 
 
P.P.P.S.:

Haha, "soon" has been over for some time. The question is: Will they be able to pull a finger before Inquisition comes out, or not at all. "Soon" is nothing but marketing puff for "Look alive". I really do feel the need to find the one responsible and show him the funny stuff sayings I learned as a Panzergrenadier - some of them are too direct and rude even by German standards...

I was hoping they will say something at E3 about CE, but still no news about PC version in Europe. I would like to finally order Dragon Age Inquisition but I don't if I should still wait for some information or just pre order Deluxe Edition from Origin.

Of course Amazon.com doesn't pay your customs fees.  YOU pay it, but you can pay it directly on their website instead of waiting to receive it in your country and paying it then.

As there's no Gamestop in Benelux, I sent an email to Gamestop Germany (earlier last week) to see if they would have the Collector's Edition for PC (and if so, if I could order it there). Their reply:

 

Gamestop Germany said:

Den Artikel werden wir für den PC nicht in unserem Sortiment führen.

 

Or, in english: "we will not have this item for PC in our stock."

 

That sounds pretty final to me. So I guess it's final for me too. I will not buy DA:I. I am not prepared to support EA with my money, if they give the worldwide exclusive to a company that doesn't even WANT to sell to PC customers.

[chaztehman]

Can we get a confirmation from Bioware on the details of the CE?
I don't feel safe giving all that money for fake pictures with little details on to where the money is going.

What will everything be made out of? Will the lockpick replica be leather and metal, or plastic?
I'm guessing the war table pieces will be plastic. What about the inquisitor badge? Coins will probably be metal? And map is confirmed to be cloth? (And not that textured paper shtuff)
Lastly, the box says 'individually wrapped in faux reptile skin'... but the picture looks like its binded down by riveted metal splints. Is that really how it will look? Are the splints(or whatever they are called) metal or hard plastic? Will the box underneath be made of wood?

Hopefully they see this! And thanks in advance if I get a response.

I sent an email to UK Gamestop about a week ago asking on the PC CE, just go a reply with a link to the standard PC edition, saying it'll be out October 10th.

I have a feeling the CE will never come to the UK

It's not just Gamestop with the CE. As stressed before there is a similar problem with the Deluxe Edition which is an Amazon exclusive. They don't have a retail version for PC either (if you live in Europe).

[Aries_cz]

Amazon.com does NOT pay your customs. The shipping price is not adjusting to the value of your ordered stuff, because it does nothing more than cover the shipping.

There is a "Import tax deposit" written in the final order summary, which is claimed to be used for paying customs etc. And I do not remember having to go to customs for anything I got from Amazon (and I did get a few things that were over the "maximum tax-free" price)

Is there any reason why there is no physical PC Deluxe or Inquisitors Edition available for preorder in Europe? I've asked at my local Gamestop, they outright said there won't be a PC edition... and on top of that the Deluxe edition, which is exclusive to Amazon, isn't available either.

 

To be honest, this is quite sad, and deflating any hype I had for the game :\

Well, the CE is Gamestop exclusive for some dumb EA reason, which is quite sad. However, when compared to many other CE editions, it is not really that remarkable, no statue, artbook or anything...

 

And I do not think the Deluxe is Amazon exclusive, as you can also get it from US Gamestop (and probably others I did not check). It just does not seem available in EU for some reason.

But according to the message I got from DA Facebook team, "the team is working hard to come up with a solution." and that they "hope to have more news soon."

So I am keeping my hopes up, it is still a few months to October. And I am keeping my backup plan, order it from Amazon.com, it will cost a bit more (20$ approx) and it will arrive on the 10th as well.

I haven't seen any official reason on why there is currently no physical retail PC Deluxe Editions or Collector's Editions available for pre-order in Europe or UK, only a few posts from others about comments on Twitter by someone at BioWare that they are supposedly "looking into the problem" or some such. That was a few weeks ago now though and there's still nothing from BioWare or EA that anyone could term as official on the actual reasons for this.

 

Gamestop apparently have the world-wide exclusive distribution rights for the Collector's Edition, although if the PC version isn't available in Europe and UK then it can't really be classed as world-wide!

 

As for the Deluxe Editions, GAME have the exclusive distribution rights for the UK and I believe Amazon have the exclusive distribution rights for Europe.

 

So that makes 3 different retailers, with each seemingly unable to provide the PC versions of either the Deluxe Edition or Collector's Edition, although they do have the standard PC versions available, alongside the PS3, PS4, XBox 360 and XBox One standard, Deluxe and Collector's versions!

I actually managed to get a copy of the collectors edition for pc today at gamestop.

Greetings:

 

I know there has been a lot of confusion about the editions for Dragon Age: Inquisition and what comes with what on which platform in each part of the world. We are working with all our partners to try and get the messaging straightened out and we hope to have a clear update for you in the next few days. Sorry for the hassle.

 

It's now 26 days since this post, which makes the "we hope to have a clear update for you in the next few days" part something of a joke! No update, no further news on what's happening, just fans being ignored! Why are there no retail PC versions of the Deluxe and Collector's Editons currently available for pre-order in the UK and Europe? There are plenty of PC gamers in UK and Europe who would dearly love to pre-order either (or maybe both) the Deluxe and Collector's Editons but they are not only being denied that possibility but are also being ignored by BioWare and EA! We just want some official response that confirms this issue will be resolved ASAP and that the retail PC versions of the Deluxe and Collector's Editons will be available in UK and Europe. Is that really too much to ask for?

Got a reply from Gamestop today, saying it would be out in November (which is frustrating, because that's a month late, and I'm dying to play the game)... Not sure if true, a mix up, or just said to placate all the emails they're probably getting~

Initially I thought the lack of PC versions in Europe was due to Gamestop not being interested in selling the CE for PC... then we added Amazon (and some other retailers) to this list, with the Deluxe Edition. And then I realized, that I had been wrong.
So here's the real deal, the way I see it (if I'm wrong, then I ask somebody from Bioware to correct me... as long as we don't hear anything, we can safely assume that this is indeed the truth):

* EA very much prefers selling digital copies to physical copies, and over the past years, physical sales have dropped, and digital sales have increased.
* The PC platform doesn't sell as well as the consoles.
* So EA doesn't consider it worth the effort and the money, to try and sell the Deluxe Edition or Inquisitor's Edition for PC in Europe (or the Deluxe Edition in Australia), as they don't expect to make enough of a profit on it.
* EA thinks that most people who don't get the physical edition that they want, will eventually decide to buy either the physical standard edition, or the digital deluxe edition... win/win for EA.
* EA considers those people who won't buy the game at all, an "acceptable loss".
* Bioware may not agree with this or like it, but they won't say anything, as they don't want to anger their publisher.

I'm pretty much over ever hoping to have a CE (UK PC). But I am getting rather pissed off at the console favouritism we're seeing now. I've been gaming since I was knee high and I've never owned a console! *shakes stick*

It worries me that there seems to be an attempt to push out PC gamers, please tell me if you think that is unfounded. It's...*sigh*

I don't buy it. How can it be a win/win if someone buys the standard edition - instead of the more expensive DE - and spends therefore less money on the product? Sounds like a loss to me.

The sales costs of the product may be less, but so are the production costs... so the overall profit doesn't differ all that much. And having to produce a smaller variety of products, adds to this profit. Plus, the smaller profit from the standard edition is easily compensated by the larger profit from the digital edition... especially if people buy it on Origin (then all profit goes to EA).

Just a slight correction/addition to that last point, the old BioWare is no more, it is now owned by EA so it makes no difference what any BioWare employee's opinion on this may be, they simply do what EA tells them to do!
