    [PokeCommunity.com] Pokemon US/UM steelbook coming to US, Canada, Europe

    [PokeCommunity.com] Pokemon US/UM steelbook coming to US, Canada, Europe

    There is a new steelbook of Pokemon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon coming to the US and Canada, according to Amazon.

    Amazon Canada has revealed the special Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Steelbook. This steelbook comes with both Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon and showcases artwork of Solgaleo and Lunala on both sides. It's set to be $99.99 and currently has no further international news. We'll bring full details on this when it comes. Amazon.com has also now added it for the US for the price of $79.99. - Serebii

    So, for those of you in Canada and the US, are you planning to get the steelbook? And for those outside of that region (such as Europe), are you hoping for a release in your region as well?

    Edit: Steelbook has now also been confirmed for a Europe release!

    I expect this will be a preorder bonus with GAME in the UK. Maybe. I expect it'll cost £70 and not £60 though, since I can't even remember the last time a 3DS title cost £30 by default. I'd think about picking it up depending on the price; if the Steelbook is essentially free I may as well since I'll end up with both versions anyway, but if not...pfft. I didn't buy any of the last steelbooks; they're a complete waste of money and this one is no different.
     
    I don't need it. I just need the games and guide books.
     
    I expect in the UK at least it'll be either GAME exclusive or Nintendo UK exclusive...and looking at it, I expect it'll cost £80 or so. Given the base price for the games is £34.99 and these things can add £10+ to the price. Getting both games at once is appealing, but...funds.

    Not only that, but 3DS steelbooks are always really poor quality, comparatively speaking. The gold design is nice, though.
     
    Pre-ordered on Amazon last night. $63 with Prime. Worth it. Send the 3DS era out on top.
     
    Honestly, they're a waste. I personally didn't own one, and considering I live in India right now, it'll be really expensive to order one from the U.S. I would not suggest getting them, if you are interested in the steelbook, because as Meyneth pointed out, the quality is below average. They actually last really long. Like really long. But even if you put a slightly heavy weight on it, there are huge dents and stuff. Personal experience with the much sturdier TCG case, and my cousin had a really old special edition steelbook which broke because a basketball hit it. But if your looking for the games, then the offer is "OKAY" if you have prime. But trust me, if your looking to get both games just for the dex and legendaries and stuff, don't waste your money. The GTS is a magical place. But if you are a collector of sorts, and you CAN get the steelbook, just don't. Trust me. You'd be much better off with one of their official guides. Like, I got the official "exclusive" guidebook, which was $20 or something, and it was a godsend. Every item, TM, Pokemon type, strategies, and tips on new mechanics. How dope is that? I actually learnt a lot about breeding just by referring to the book, and I'm sure it will not only help new playera, but also returning players too. If you are a Masuda method shiny hunter, or just simply a competitive breeder, there is some stuff you WILL learn. Also, it also explained some hidden features, and gave me locations to all the zygarde cores and cells. I know you can just see a lot of this stuff off the internet, it is much faster, but there are some tips in here that are worth the price. Every competitive player/even a layman HAS to have this book. Or you could get the Pokedex "All the pokemon" book, that comes out at the same time. Trust me, you'd be better off with the guides and stuff than a steelbook. It is KIND of cool, but all that glitters isn't gold I guess.
     
    Price for this is £89.99 on GAME. Nintendo UK don't have it up for preorder yet, but I'm guessing it'll be around the same price, or maybe £5 cheaper. Considering the games cost £34.99 apiece at most, you're essentially paying £20 for a steelbook.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the Brexit Effect.
     
    The one thing I was surprised about regarding the announcement of this steelbook was I thought that TPC would wait for news before announcing this. Oh well, what can you do?
