Sonic Generations Megathread

160? DAMN! Not even the MW2 special edition was THAT much.

I'll just take that extra money and invest in a First4 figure.

Spoiler

they look nicer anyway

 

They tend not to do intercontinental shipping on video games as standard I believe.

But MightyApe has you covered! They have all three versions for sale!
Regular- No frills, just the game
Special- Lenticular sleeve and DLC
Collectors- All the crap we've been fangasming over

 

Interesting, they have the regular Sonic Generations for about $98.49 normal price. Here in the states Sonic Generations is about $49.99, but New Zealand dollar to US dollar conversions would show the normal Sonic Generations at only 80ish US dollars if properly converted. Ouch.

Well, I did a quick proportions set up with Mighty Ape's 199.99(Collector)/98.49(Standard), with US (If ever)(Collector)/49.99(Standard), which would put it, if we ever got Generations Collector's Edition in the US at all, around 100 bucks. If I get a job between now and then and it turns out SEGA throws the US a bone, I might just pick it up if it's around 100, which'd not be a bad price at all for all that sweet swag. Granted, I wouldn't be surprised if SEGA bumped it up a notch anyways if it got released in the US, but if it's proportional...Collector's get!

 

Never heard of it, sorry.

Oh, and I'll wait for someone to upload the digital content of that special edition package. I'm not buying a game with region locking.

 

Ouch, $160 for all that stuff from the NZ websites. Not sure if want.

Cooljerk, I messaged you earlier, but I didn't really get a response about how much it'd be costing from where that guy is preordering this.

 

Did Sega of America directly confirm they are not going to have the LE?

 

You, sir, are amazing. Even though the 24 year old is crying from the money I'm shelling out, the 8 year old feels like Christmas just came and Sonic himself were underneath the tree.

Normally I wouldn't spend that much but it's Sonic's 20th, and my birthday is on Nov. 5th so I think I should be safe hiding behind those excuses. haha

 

On the very press release itself if you'd read it :P

 

I just pre-ordered two 360 copies of the CE, one for myself and one for my nephew.

One of the better CE's this generation, will look good next to my sonic adventure 2 gold coin :P

 

Oh god ye-
...$168 US...
Guys, my wallet is giving me that look. You know, the one before you totally rip it a new one? I need to find a job. NOW.

 

Amazon.fr now has the PC version up for pre-order as well: http://www.amazon.fr/Sega-Sonic-Generations/dp/B005AT9UL6/

Ordered, £85.52, sweet

 

Goddamnit, Sega, why must you tempt me with this pile o' goodies.

...ordered

 

What DLC is going to be included, just the Casino Night pinball table? I believe I missed that.

Also, the Collector's Edition sounds awesome, but the "handpicked" soundtrack is probably just yet another "Greatest Hits". I'll wait for the legit Generations soundtrack.

 

I was trying on Amazon, but the whole lack of a U.K. address/third party who would send it my way (with reimbursement) makes it a little harder. I kinda would like to save as much as I can from ordering this, if possible,

 

That's all the DLC for the game, but you also get a theme for both 360 and PS3, and a Super Sonic costume for 360.

 

You know, I was thinking.

There is a very small possibility (because of it appearing on steam) that Sega might pull a tony hawk underground on us with a europe-only release of the PC port.

For those who don't know, there was a PC version of THUG, except that Activision released it only in Australia and as a low budget release too meaning that a lot of people didn't even know it existed, and that was back when the Tony Hawk series were still held in high regard, as a result that port is extremely rare and with only a few poorly seeded torrents floating around.

Of course that the game showing up on steam means this is very unlikely, but Sega has done some crazy stuff before.

 

That makes a bit of sense, but I'm still doubtful.
