So we're definitely not getting the Ellie edition? That sucks! I really want the vinyl, and I'm usually not bothered about bags, but I actually really like the one included here and am in need of a new one anyway.Once again the UK / EU gets the middle finger
We'll end up paying for the Collectors Edition which is basically the same, minus a few things and we'll end up either paying more or roughly the same price
They did this with the Post Pandemic version, other CE over the years and most recently with God of War.

Yeah, that's really crappy! But... prices have always been that way for us, so I'm kinda used to it.Nope and the price difference is ridiculous
Our Collectors Edition is £159.99
The Ellie Edition is $229.99 which is roughly £185
So for only £25 more you get a Vinyl, a nice bag and an extra logo patch
I mean, they're roughly the same price it's insane.

Gutted to see we're definitely not getting the Ellie edition, but at least we're actually getting a statue this time I suppose.

You have to take into account tax though - the US price does not include sales tax, while the UK price includes VAT. Yes there probably still is a difference, but it's not as big as you might think.Yeah, that's really crappy! But... prices have always been that way for us, so I'm kinda used to it.

I definitely get what you're saying, as I also used to think that way... I'm more laid back when it comes to collecting nowadays though, so no longer let stuff like that bother me so much. I'm mostly just happy to get what I get, but if I'm really desperate to own it all, then I'll just go on the hunt to track it down, which will most likely be the case with this lol. I'm sure they'll be a proper vinyl release sooner or later anyway, so that shouldn't be a problem... it's just getting the bag that's gonna be tough!Thing what bugs me, and I don't know if you or anyone else has this issue but if you get this there's always going to be a little voice in the back of your head telling you it's not really the complete package as the US got the same but with more goodies
It's like my Ni No Kuni Wrath of the White Witch Edition, the UK version didn't include the Gold Coin or Soundtrack...I'm glad I was lucky enough to get a copy but at the same time it annoys me that it's not the definitve complete version.
@Robsonmonkey I just realised that the Game exclusive "standard plus edition" apparently comes with the bag!
The Last of Us Part II Standard Edition
From the developers at Naughty Dog comes the sequel to one of the most critically acclaimed games of the generation.www.game.co.uk
Includes:
Downside is that it's another £55 on top of what we're already paying for the CE... although I guess we could just sell the extra copy of the game and make some money back.
- Alternative cover artwork
- The Last Of Us Part II branded bag, keyring and badge set
Tell me about it. They take us UK folks for fools, and I guess they're somewhat correct in doing so, because I've fallen for it and ordered both editions lol.Oh that's some really class bulls***
So basically they have the stuff, they are dishing it out over here but instead of just giving us the Ellie edition they're splitting it making us pay even more.
Best thing to do Noodles is keep checking Amazon.com and see if they get anymore stock in for the Ellie Edition, we have 4 months so something will have to turn up, maybe we'll get lucky. Amazon does international shipping.
I bloody hope not! Although now that you mention it... that would explain the cheaper price.Surely that bag will just be a drawstring bag and not the backpack? Game love selling cheapo drawstring bags.
Thanks for the heads up!
