Collector's Edition

[onesign]

Another question regarding the DLCs; could it be that we get both the Commando Jacket that's exclusive to the collectors edition as well as the retailer-specific DLC?I've also mailed thehut.com, which at least before was listed as having the Finisher Pack DLC.

It'd be great if you let us know of any more information you find out - thanks.

Thehut.com ships to the whole of Europe. The shipping cost is about €2.

There you go:http://www.thehut.com/games/platforms/pc/the-witcher-2-assassins-of-kings-collectors-edition/10289734.htmlThough I'm not sure which DLC you get from them. I have contacted them and expect an answer within the week.But it should be the Vernon Roche Commando Jacket and/or the Finisher Pack.

http://tw2.thewitcher.com/forum/index.php?topic=31244.0All the pre-order DLCs are listed here, but it's not very sure which retailer gets which.I'm mostly hoping for the Finisher Pack myself. The others seems a bit like "cheat" items.

You're really into TWO finishers more? Whoa...! Personally I'm not impressed by this number.

As I said, I see the other DLCs a bit like cheat items and would rather work for them ingame rather than get them directly. (At least that's how it seems to be with other games and their DLCs, a concept which I thoroughly hate...)

I just got an naswer from thehut.com and they told me that there's only one code in the Collectors Edition they sell, and that code is for the Vernon Roche Commando Jacket.

Yes, ALL the Collector´s Editions (everywhere) have just Vernon Roche Commando Jacket. Other DLC´s are only for Premium Edition

So CDProject RED changed this sometimes between when the pre-orders went live and now? Sorry if I'm being daft...

I understand your confusion, but let me clarify that HMV for example is giving the Jacket & the Alchemy bonus, GAME was offering the Jacket & the Merchant bonus, et cetera. So if thehut isn't offering anything else they are doing it wrong. Make sense?

Yep, it makes sense. The Jacket is a CE only bonus, and each retailer is giving out a specific pre-order bonus.I have contacted CDProject as well regarding this (I hope I get an answer as they are probably rather busy right now) and we'll see what happens regarding thehut.com. Otherwise such bonus DLCs usually pop up online after the release.Thanks for the clarification.

One more thing, I called thehut & apparently it can take from 5-30 business days for delivery from the release date. Also, you might want to look at the consumer reports on them first; for a few GBP less it just didn't seem worth it to me personally for the risk of not getting a copy or having to wait an entire month past release.At least that was my reason for going with HMV, however they have been actually out of 'availiable online stock' sold before as well. Just not near as often, as they don't have many multiple affiliates who all draw from the same warehouse like thehut. Amazon.co.uk or GAME really were the ones I would have preferred, although I don't know how good 'play' is but those are all long gone now. heh

So you are saying that HMV should be better or more reliable? (I have no clue, I'm ordering from Sweden, and the only one of that list we've got is Game, and they are not going to have any pre-orders.)

Well, I buy CE on xzone.cz (czech edition) and when someone asked them about DLC for CE, they replied, that CE contains only one DLC which is CE exclusive (V.R.C. Jacket). But to be sure I will ask them again.edit: It seems that the game can have only 1 DLC installed, so that´s reason, why there is just one DLC in CE.

From my research hmv is the most reliable to make a purchase from that still actually has it available for purchase from the UK. I suppose the best one however, would be dependent on your bonus tastes. I.E. the two bonus finishers, in your case I believe.GAME was the one I most wanted to pre-order from, sigh. Also, not because of the bonus but, because I've had nothing but good experiences with them in the past from my orders. :/As for the DLC Slash_luke I have no idea what is & isn't allowed for actual in game use, I just know every place I'm looking at for pre-orders of the CE includes one random option BESIDES the Jacket as a bonus with it. Hope that helps.
