What the hell? Since when does Europe get better stuff than us? Didn't we win the American Revolution and World War 2 in order to get limited editions of JRPGs? So Europe/UK gets this nice LE of Pandora's Tower while we in the United States get a stupid box??? It just seems like game pubs have more respect for Europeans these days. We had to practically storm the Bastille of stupidity to get Xenoblade and Last Story over here, while the Europeans got to just kick back and bask.
The UK edition of Pandora comes in a steelcase:
It also includes a 32 page hardcover artbook:
And what do we get? A stupid box. Hell, Xseed, in their usual bumbling manner, doesn't even really know when they are releasing Pandora's Tower here in the States.. Sometime in April, they think. Dont be fooled. When they finally do set a release date, that is really only the date they will SHIP to stores, so it might be a couple of days or a week before you get your copy. Yep, Xseed thinks that shipping dates and release dates are the same thing. Don't even bother arguing with them. I already have.
As a side note, Amazon has copies of the UK Limited Edition for $64.99, so I guess if you're really hardcore (which I'm not, you can pick one up there). Of course the game is PAL, so it won't play on a US Wii. Of course, I'm sure there's a way to mod your Wii on the internetz to play it. Pandora came out a year ago over there.
Having said all this, I guess I shouldn't be bitching, since I should feel lucky its coming out here at least. But look at NIS America. They have all kinds of limited edition stuff with their games!
I preordered my copy from Gamestop yesterday.
