Pre-Order International
I refer to the Ultimate Edition being only available to GameStop & EBGames which are both based in the US. As a gamer in the Asia-Pacific region, a few friends and I are unable to show support for the game as GS gives us issues about our credit cards not being valid cards. The very same cards we use to purchase pretty much everything else online without a hitch. Also, Amazon only has standard and EBG which only ships in Canada.
I'll draw on Firefall's pre-order as reference. When I purchased their Founder Commander pack, it was done without an intermediary, and all physical items were shipped over from the US for free.
My main point being, hopefully Trion can make the pre-orders more available and convenient to the community outside of the US. Paying for shipping is not the issue, rather, it is the rejection of our wanting to thank the team with our money that becomes quite the turn off.
Quoted from http://www.gamestop.com/gs/help/Delivery.aspx
"It is very difficult to obtain verification information from banks outside of the United States and Canada. For your protection, in most cases you will be required to fax us a copy of your most recent credit card statement. If you are ordering from outside the US or Canada, your credit card issuing bank and ask them to release address verification information to GameStop.com. Without this verification, we will be unable to process your order."
And yet it consistently rejects our MasterCard & Visa cards as invalid.

I read somewhere that Amazon would have the Collector's Edition and Ultimate Edition in the UK, but I can't find the post at the moment.
I did find this on the site, but I'm not entirely sure it's accurate, the pricing seems to be a bit off.

Looks OK to me. I have read somewhere that the UE in Europe is "only" €100, which would convert to approximately £60 and $150. I already preordered the exact same version you linked to, Valethar. I figured I can still cancel if something better pops up.

is the Ultimate edition in europe the same as the US version?

Here is the amazon.co.uk ultimate edition. For all three platforms, pc, ps3 and 360.

However, I doubt the pre-order things apply with it, since you'll get it first on game release date.

You can expect more info for EU preorders coming up really soon.
As for other regions and the UE edition, due to the specific items within the package it's not going to available everywhere. Even where it is available it is only available in limited quantities.

I feel your pain, I contacted EBGames here in Australia, and the people I spoke to have no idea if they will be offering the Ultimate Edition here. And even the regular editions are not showing up on the EBGames.com.au website. I really hope I don't have to order from overseas again. :(

we need to strengthen the inherent value of our US dollar it seems.
