RA3 Premier Edition - New Zealand Release Update

[Sonic 296]

This news is specifically for Red Alert 3 fans in New Zealand wanting to secure their copy of the Red Alert 3 Premier Edition. I've been told that stock will be limited for New Zealand, and only 2 retailers will have it. What this means if you don't pre-order now the chances of getting the Red Alert 3 Premier Edition after the release date will be slim.

 

I recommend New Zealand fans pre-order and purchase via Gameplanet Store. Its NZ$119.95 and currently has a release date of 31st October 2008. Click here to find out what's included in the Premier Edition of Red Alert 3.

And only two retailers will have it...

 

Who are they? GPS and DSE?

I pre-ordered a few days ago when it first popped up.

[Sonic 296]

Who are they? GPS and DSE?

Obviously GPStore is one of them. I have no idea who the other one is. Just order from GPStore, they are the best.

[Luk3us 63]

Can't say I'm all that impressed by the price though... $120 just for an extra DVD is kinda eh...

 

I do it for the beta key to be honest.

[F15pilotX 4]

heh, I'll probably do it for the key too...the American version, that is..)

 

 

Quite a good marketing approach, I have to say

[Alphabear 11]

Any word on Australian retailers offering the premier edition?

[Sonic 296]

Well they have it listed on GPStore AU, see here http://www.gpstore.com.au/Games/1566010.html, same price and different date though. And the page lacks the correct box art and info.

 

The only advice I can give to anyone looking for the Premier Edition is to contact your most trusted game retailer in your area.

 

Alphabear, GPStore NZ ship to Aussie so you could always order through them.

[Alphabear 11]

Yeah i might ask around at EB and Gametraders and see if either of them will be selling it. Otherwise i have ordered from GPstore NZ before so i will go with them

At least you get the game, here in Sweden it's noware to be found. And the shipping to get it from the US and A is 22$....

Australian releases confirmed by email...

 

www.game.com.au (formally gameswizards): It wasn't listed on their website, but when I contacted them by email they game this response:

We will be taking orders for the premier edition,

the price is $119.95 and you can secure a copy with a $10 deposit.

Our current release date is late October.

 

www.ebgames.com.au: again it wasn't listed at their site. I pointed them to the U.S. listing and they gave this response:

We will be stocking a collectors edition of Red Alert 3 which will include:

- Copy of Red Alert 2

- Game Soundtrack

- 6 exclusive multiplayer maps

- Exclusive beta key to future C&C game

- Bonus DVD featuring load of content

You can preorder now at your local store.

 

Sonic has already mentioned his fav gpstore but one other place I found while surfing:

 

www.gamehead.com.au which has a great price if you want to save $10!

Premier Edition:

- Special Packaging

- Exclusive in game items.

- Bonus DVD

- Game Soundtrack

- Beta Code And more!!

$102.80 + $5.95 = $108.75

 

EDIT: my math

$102.80 + $5.95 = $108.80

Nice math skills! :lol:

[Gben 20]

groan...

 

You know I thought I just copied what was there on the web page, but nope I made a mistake.

 

$108.75 is the correct price. I will fix the earlier post now.

Sonic has already mentioned his fav gpstore but one other place I found while surfing:

Not my favourite, its only Aussie games retailer that I know of

[Gben 20]

Well I always think of them as a NZ store with an Aussie portal... so I was refering to the NZ operation.

What are aussies good for - training matches in Rugby maybe???
