A link for anybody that's lazy. Gonna have to try it out tomorrow sadly.

Not available in my country. Why am I not surprised ?

It is PS North America link, so that might be why?

In game item packs? Hmm. DLC, I guess? Would be interested in finding out more about what these item packs really involve and how much they add to the game (or rather, take away from the game, given it's DLC...).

I'll probably get the Deluxe, download Brotherhood, and get the official guide book instead of the art book because I find them a lot more interesting than art books.

Turns out their store redirect sucks and it failed to redirect to the right page on the EU store.

Amazon has an exclusive pre order bonus, Zidane's Mage Masher.

I'm fine with exclusive DLC, as long as I can download everything I want post-release!!

I pre ordered my Ultimate Collector's Edition for the PS4 !!!

It took the entire night to get the email and the entries on the Square Enix shop edited but it's here!

Now I am waiting for my awesome PS4 Bundle to make it perfect.

I'm not the biggest IX fan but I hope this means we can get more classic swords or even.....a gunbade? They'd need to tweak the animations for that to look right tho haha.

I'll be pre-ordering the Deluxe Edition as soon as I'm able to in the UK.

I heard all 30,000 copies sold out within two hours.

Not sure which collector's edition it meant, but yeah.

You know, this is great. There was a point where everyone just seemed to have quit FFXV and decried it as a failure no matter what would come out of it, and now suddenly everyone is back on board the hype train! I gotta say, this Uncovered event was a genius marketing decision.

You're kidding, right? o_x If so, I think it should go without saying that they would have to create another 30,000.

Yes the 30,000 copies of the Final Fantasy Ultimate Collector's Edition sold out in nearly 2h (11pm in Los Angeles).
The Square Enix website was, as expected, extremely difficult to log into and navigate.

We were all asking each others, on the Twitch chat after the event, if we got the email that confirms we actually ordered our UCE version, as the website was so laggy and delayed.

Only the UCE has 30,000 copies by the way, so there is no rush to buy a Deluxe Edition copy.
But as of now, some people are already reselling copies of the Ultimate Collector's Edition for more than twice its price (650-800 USD). Some copies were already sold at this price if you check.

Fun fact: 30,000 x 270$ = 8,100,000$
Knowing that the FFXIII's budget was hovering the 60,000,000$, this UCE version is a huge return on investment, in just 2h.

Yup. 30 minutes after going live

Damnnnnn good job eoffers who got it!

My guess is there will be more yet, one way or another. When demand is that high, you have to capitalise on it or face fanrage. Especially for digital item packages.

Not that I would spend that much for a statue, but still. xD

PS4 was sold out in 15 minutes. xD Xbox One copies were available for a whiiiiiiiiile by comparison though.

Also... I was one of the lucky ones. I was able to navigate the website extremely fast and easily. I was smart enough to log in and prepare before midnight (EST) though. xD

Not smart enough to change my old address. Gotta do that still. As of now, this UCE is being sent to my old place. My crappy exroommates would sure love that parting gift... >_>

Better change that quick, lest you give your ex-roommates an unexpected present.

Still, amazing foresight to get in there quick.

I wonder how many of those people simply bought fast so they could resell on eBay. =/

Probably a lot. And no one's surprised

I just discovered the UK price. £189.99. xD Reminds me of that FFXIV CE price. I bet Australia has it even worse. Do statues really cost that much to make? It's the one thing I don't want to have to pay for. I wish there was an option for the Ultimate one without the statue.
