    No Dvd in CE and UE edition

    Hello peeps,

    So since we in Europe are again being put at a disadvantage because we wont be getting the Exclusive Dvd in any of the two Editions.

    My question is what do we get in place of the Dvd? It would only be fair for us Europeans to get a replacement for the dvd. Is there some news about this what will be done to replace it?

    Greetz!

    P.S. if i missed the info about this please link to me checked the forum but could not find anything about this.

    I've not seen anything official, but given the exchange rate at the moment (or at least at the time I'm posting this, things change) we're actually having to pay less in the UK. I think it also works out the same for the Euro, though I'm not 100% sure how many places will sell it.

    So we pay less and get less, which seems fair enough. Sure, I do love a nice making-of DVD, but the best parts will probably end up on YouTube anyway so hopefully we won't miss out all that much

    It's not really fair at all. People get the collectors/ultimate editions to *get the collectables*. So in one fell swoop, they've devalued he collection before you even buy it...Great.

    Still, better than my region. We can't even confirm when it's getting released let alone whats getting released... O.o

    Okey weird then that the price was the same before and after they announced that the dvd was not included so don't see any price change you are mentioning, or even the price went up on Amazon.co.uk with 17 pounds from 61.99 to 78.99 (124 dollars).

    I think we all here in europe want to know what we get in place of the Dvd or at least a answer on this matter.

    Hey guys,

    Hope I can clear up some of this: we set a standard retail price for the game - in this case the game was sold for less for a limited period. And yes, that DVD is not in this edition but the overall package is less than the edition with the DVD. There's also a lot of cool stuff in this box.

    Thanks for clearing this up. The price at amazon makes sense then that it was cheaper at the start, if you meant that price drop for a limited time.

    Thanks for the fast answer!

    No worries, it's not an attack at all, I should've clarified

    I didn't say there was a price change at all, I said there was a price difference. In the US, the Ultimate Edition at Gamestop is $149.99, which exchanges to about £96.64. In the UK, we can buy the same Ultimate Edition, minus the DVD of course, on Amazon for £79.99 on PC. So we pay £16.65 less.

    Sure, I'd really prefer the DVD, and there's a lot less difference if you compare it to the console version (which reduces the price difference to £6.65), but we're not paying the same for a smaller package so it could be worse!

    The same thing happened with the CE of Rift, all the EU copies shipped without the USB. Starting to wonder if this is just typical Trion behaviour. I love my collectors editions but this will probably be the last one I get.
    Shame.

    I ordered the UE from amazon.uk and it still says including the dvd.
    The description an amazon.de is the same, but the ue is not available there.

    The DVD was one main point to buy the UE over a digital download...
