Deluxe edition sold out already!!

I'll be going for the standard version anyway, just waiting for he magic $19.99 or under on Amazon.com then it'll be mine :)

I'll be pre-ordering as soon as it goes live. It will be worth every penny!

Not bothered. I would be astonished if there was not a UK company that would not want to release this title. And I can't see Shout Factory passing up the change to allow a UK company to use their new scan once the right amount of money has changed hands.
 
Why it's not out until September and why pay silly money for a extra poster or slipcase when the standard version contains all the relevant extras. You're not being shortchanged there!
 
Ya I had chance to get it, choose not to. May have been a mistake, but I way I figure I'll get it at the store if I can. Been getting too many damaged things from the mail lately.

And the extra slip is nice, as for the posters I don't have any room to put them up. So I may regret it. But for now I'm content I passed.

Though I didn't think it would sell as fast as it did.
