We probably won't get any kind of response. They don't really care, and we'll probably just have to deal with it. A real shame. :\

^ This....

I would like to know if I need to cancel the deposit on my pre-order with EB games and buy the digital CE pre-order instead. Around $200 is high but I may be able to squeeze it into my budget.... $380 could buy me TWO WHOLE YEARS of subs and is certainly beyond what I would be willing to pay for a couple of trinkets on top of a game I could get for $300 less...

Wow, that price is insane!

It's bad enough that EB only has ARR+Heavensward and not just Heavensward, but that price for the CE is a joke.

Bump! Any news on this today? :(

guess we wont hear anything till monday...

Or a brand new Wii U (White Basic Pack, $299), a pre-owned 'Premium Black' Wii U ($308) or a Limited Edition Majora's Mask New 3DS XL ($249). Sure, none of those are 'collectors edition' (though one is limited. Can't find it on EB Games online store any more), but... it's baffling how the expansion alone is roughly $70-80, when a small statue, an artbook and a DVD(?) suddenly cost $300 extra.

I only didn't go that high because 10% is GST and I don't know how many other things they need to pay on that. It is still an incredibly high amount of profit regardless.

I'd like to know in which reality $130US = $400NZ, even MightyApe has expressed their disappointment at how expensive it is and they are selling it.
If there is no chance of a cheaper price, what about a modified collectors edition without the dragon statue? I would still like the art book and the bluray.
