The Witcher 3 Collector's Edition - availability information

[Lazurkri]

Aw, come on, it's like 10 posts a day. It's not THAT bad. I've done most of today's quota just answering you.

....Dick :> :>
Seriously though, you must post a HELL of a lot more than 10 times a day to get to 10.6K posts in three years.

I found a way to email Warner Bros Games... I sent them an email to the montreal address, I filled out 2 online forms and I'm debating if I should phone them.

Damn.. the things I'll do for a video game. It's a good thing my bosses don't care what I do on the net as long as I get work done; and our client's stuff is pretty much done just doing a final check up later today.

You have a nicer boss than I; mine has a damn watchdog program running on our network that I'm constantly having pop up messages on my work computer saying stuff like I'm not doing enough work, or I'm somewhere I'm not supposed to be.... I can understand monitoring what your employees are doing and taking them aside if they are watching too much Youtube, but damn....

And I'd phone them; watching them cover their asses should prove hilarious.

10 * 365 * 3 = 10 950

My boss is like " You provide good work; as long as you keep doing that you can go on FB and other sites. As soon as your work drops; I'll have to limit it "

I'm a Marketing Specialist so I get to do design, graphics, writing, social media and crap like that. It's pretty easy as long as you can prioritize.

And nah; if I phoned them; I'd 100% snap at them on the phone. I can't do that because it's not really the customer service people's fault; it's the higher ups.

Oh and I'm supporting marketing operations in one of these big corporations (analyst for marketing funds), and belive it or not I can surf whenever I want to, "just do your job". My managers are simply awesome!

Anyway, sorry for offtop,

I'm still living ion world of fantasy couting on additional CE in Poland... silly me!

Again, your boss is nicer than mine; theres nothing against us going on FB or YouTube in our company guidelines and rules, but he still yells at us for slaking off even when we're busy working... To be honest, he's a ass. And I work at Stream, so essentially I'm in the same boat as the guys in Customer Services.... but couldn't you get the Customer Support guys to get their managers? We have to at Stream if asked, which is probably why our boss is such a dick.

Stay on topic, please.

Whoops, sorry.

If you dont mind german language on your package and all, you can still get TW3 CE (PC) from Amazon.de
I heard that most other countries ran out of stock but at least germany has the CE for all 3 platforms available and afaik they ship to pretty much every place around world

To get it shipped to North America is a little pricey though. They DO ship it quickly though. And would that mean that the stuff INSIDE would be in German, or just the outside stuff (I.E info on the game case)?

 

[Esputi]

Usually it depends on the company what is in which language. Some make the packaging in german but the game itself may be in english. Sometimes they have multiple language-options available in-game and so on. Since there is no official word on that from CDPR I cant give you an aswer on that. Since its on PC and has mutliple disks, my guess is that all the stuff outside (box, perhaps art book and so forth) is in german and the game itself can be switched to english.
Thats how it was with TW2 anyways. At first my game was in german but I was able to switch it to english before starting a new game, so I believe that this is going to be the case for the PC-version. No clue about consoles though

Ehhhh.. that counts it out for me; I can get by in reading german but I'd prefer stuff like the art book be in english.

As for the multiple languages, on the Consoles, yes, it SHOULD have the option to switch to English; most games usually do, unless otherwise specified.

You’d best write Amazon.de an e-mail to get a definite answer on that. No worries, they speak English over there ;>

They probably speak it better than us... they take courses in English, and of course, being their efficient selves, excel in it; We had like 30 German exchange students in my High School, and they were cool dude; the fact that in Germany they could drink a lot younger than us raised a few problems, though.

And I already have a pre-order in with GameStop....hopefully it will work, I've had issues with using my VISA with EBgames, and they don't accept non-American Paypal either.

 

[Esputi]

Hm. since the artbook was mentioned, now Im interested aswell if everything in the CE will be in german here. I pre-ordered the CE and it would be interesting to know if the artbook and so on will be translated. Doing this for a 200 page book can be quite the amount of work. Some of my games have all their stuff (package, booklet) either in german only, or multiple languages at once on it. Dont know if CDPR will make the effort to have the packaging and everything in it, in the specific language of each country the CE is being sold. Would be nice if someone from the team could clarify how it will be (I dont think that the stores selling the CE know this as of now)

So heard back from Futureshop.

They wont know for a few months if they're getting it or not.

That's prolly them getting a littttle pissed at me for using 6 different screenames to ask them the same question.. lol

6? I was considering using 12! Good work though.

Didn't want to get too greedy... On a side note; the Steam Summer sale started today. Already gifted 4 copies of Witcher 2 ( I have it here on GOG )

Going for $4 ( If you want a backup on Steam )

Well, you can order it from the Dutch website bol.com as well... they still seem to have a few copies, and they do ship internationally, and the Dutch always get the English contents... the outer box may be Dutch, but the contents will almost certainly be english (unlike the Germans, the Dutch don't usually translate the artbook and stuff like that).
It's not cheap ( € 139,99 for the PC version), and the shipping cost can add up to around €20, plus you should be very aware of possible import taxes, as they don't do import deposits for you (I don't think Amazon Germany does, either, btw)
Also, you will have to be able to understand some Dutch to get through the order process...

I think 1C SoftClub is the official distributor, if not you may want to try Amazon - they're shipping worldwide at low prices and Amazon.de still seem to have copies. The console versions were also available from Amazon.co.uk the last time I checked.
