Heavensward CE preorders not being released in AUS???

[Rostum]

I hope you mean the price is the details being finalised...? Availability is not the issue we have with it now...

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.

[Rostum]

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.

That's about 100% profit.

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.
