I doubt North America is getting something better than a poster this time around.

I just checked on the GAME website and the Steelbooks CAN be bought from them for the same price as they are on the Nintendo store. Though they will not come with the pre-order figurines like the standard editions do from GAME. So you can either get the Steelbooks with the figurines through Nintendo or potentially get them earlier with GAME... I think this is Nintendo's way of trying to get more of the Steelbook buyers to buy through them...
I now don't know where to pre-order the steelbooks as I want the figurines but I have never ordered directly from Nintendo so I don't know how near to release I'd even get the games... Amazon appears to just be conflicted, with ORAS earlier in the week being really cheap at £30 but now AS is around £32 while OR is £33, so definitely not ordering from them. |
I have to say, Europe seems like they ended up getting the good stuff again. Those Groudon and Kyogre figurines, and the Hoenn starter keychains are nice but it's definitely those steelbook cases that are grabbing attention.
But given I'm from Australia (despite being in the PAL region like Europe is) I'm kinda dreading we may get something meh but then again I think Americans are the one who really get the short end of the stick. |
The SteelBooks look really sick! I wonder why they aren't available worldwide tho. I'm definitely going to buy the Alpha Sapphire steelbook!
PS. The cartridges are not transparent :( I was hoping they were! |

Nope. Squat. |
I sure hope it isnt like the poke history poster, where you need both games preordered.
|
Well Europe does have the one week delay while the rest of us will get the games in our countries on the 21st.
|
Yep. Typical. Rest of the world gets cool stuff, but Australia will likely just get a fart and a thumbs up~
|
My boyfriend is flipping out because he saw the stuff that the UK and Japan are getting, while a lot of other places are left out on the goodies.

I hope that in a few days those of us in Australia, and North America get our own pre-order bonuses announced. |

So yeah, seems a tad bit like most countries are getting the raw end of the deal again. |

Apparently here in the US, if you pre-order Both games you get a Charzard plush valued $22 (thought I saw $29 somewhere though)
Very nice for a bonus, but it'd be nice if you got something for ordering just one game. Hope it will be a Mega Charizard X though :O Would of been really excited if it was Hoenn related in the slightest, Rayquaza plush even? :P I don't collect Charizard but might keep it if it's Mega X :> |
I so wish the US was getting the steelbook cases, cuz those look awesome.
|
if i dont live in Uk,can i pre order the two games form the official nintendo store?(i mean nintendo.co.uk)
i live in Europe. |
I feel that all the North American territories will get as an OR/AS pre-order bonus is a poster, just like X/Y.
I also wish that the steel book cases are a worldwide thing, but I think it's understandable that they may not distribute that elsewhere, due to economic issues. |

The thing is, the Nintendo UK store steelbook edition won't come with the standard edition packaging, meaning it'll sort of look out of place in my collection without the standard box...I would like the figurine as well, but I think I'll probably end up losing it, like with my Giratina and Arceus figures, so maybe I should just go for Game's steelbook edition.

Spoiler:
It may not be clear but it looks like we get the standard packaging plus the steelbook... Or Nintendo could just be using the standard box to represent the game itself, I don't know... I hope it does come with the standard box... Since I'm still waiting for my debit card to come through I haven't preordered yet, I really want the Steelbooks but I don't know whether to preorder from GAME for speedy (Early if they continue their past trend with games I have preordered from them) delivery or from Nintendo so I get the neat little figurines... |

Australians often got stuff that while not the best of the bunch, was at least something better than a poster. I recall that for Black & White we got Nintendo DS cases with Reshiram and Zekrom when the game was pre-ordered at JB Hi-Fi stores. I don't recall the other games' preorder bonuses but B/W's was fairly alright. |

Hikamaru, your post makes me depressed :( |

I noticed that the yellow on Groudon on the steelbox seems dimmer than that on the official art and the standard package.
Anyways if they don't reveal any special pre-order by this week for those of us in the NA then chances are we probably aren't getting anything other than the poster... |
Honestly I would be fine with just a poster, because I don't think I would really use anything else anyway. Hell, I don't even think I would put up the poster anywhere but it would be nice to look at. :P

The steelbook case isn't a pre-order bonus, you have to pay £5 extra and game are calling it the limited edition of the game.
