Just seen this on Facebook

Dragon Ball Xenoverse will be launching in the Americas on February 17, 2015!
We're also announcing that the "Day 1" Edition will include the playable Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta along with two special Freeza Soldier's Battle Suits (Gold + Crystal!)

*Sigh*.....and here I was hoping we wouldn't have to deal with that pre-order bonus bullcrap. Oh well.....I don't believe I'll be getting the CE so MAYBE! If I can get the money before February I may pre-order it. Guess we'll see but I'm not gonna break my neck just for the pre-order bonus.

Post that link

Sorry I didn't get back here soon enough. this was the link they provided on Facebook http://bandainamcous.tumblr.com/post/10 ... -xenoverse

I've sent them an email regarding the 'DLC' and the Steelbook case but still no response and be aware (if you didn't know) that Video Game Box charges you straight away for pre-ordering the game.

With the £2 code the price drops to £37.70 (or something).

I've been looking at that metal case for a while, and I'm wondering if it's not a "Steelbook", but a "Metal pak". The Metal paks are a off-brand version that's of lower quality: http://collectorsedition.org/forums/sho ... hp?t=12066

FFS this pre-order BS needs to stop...

[Dbzfan94]

I really don't see the big deal about the preordering. I do it all the time.

I don't see a problem either. Unless you won't have the money by the time of release (which would be a good time to start saving now), if you're planning on getting the game you might as well get it on release. Pre-order bonuses are just incentives to get the game on release, and if the bonus isn't worth pre-ordering the game for, then there's no point in having it in the first place.
You also can't blame Bandai Namco for this since virtually all publishers have pre-order bonuses for their big titles.

Exactly! Plus pre-orders (at least at the GameStop where I'm from) they hold your game for you so it's like a guarantee that you get it when you walk in.

Beam struggles seem to be confirmed but not properly implemented in the current builds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDn0DhZ0W4Y

Yes, finally.

And what about people like me, who eventually planned on buying the game multiple times? Who want all the content, but were waiting between purchases for price drops so that they didn't have to shell out $150 on the same game? Who, despite deciding to support them multiple times over, will be receiving inferior versions for those later purchases?

I wouldn't complain if the pre-order bonus was something that's not on the disc at launch and will be made available to others later. But as things stand right now, they have stated that this content will not be available for purchase later and yet SS4 Vegeta is already on the disc (his data is in the beta test).

Now I do admit this could end up being less of an issue, as they said the same thing with BOZ's SS Bardock and SS Vegetto and they were made available later. Since I'd be getting the game at a discount later anyway, I don't mind picking up the DLC and still coming out in the black. But, they also said Ninja Goku wouldn't be available later, and he never saw a release outside the Day One editions...

[SSJ God Gogeta]

Even if they do release ssj4 Vegeta and the armor, they will probably charge you $4 each for them just like the BOZ DLC.
That shit just ain't right...

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Yeah, it's a bit ridiculous. I really only care about characters like SS4 Vegeta though, so it's not like I'd be paying for him and then another $4-$8 for the armors. I'm not going to be THAT loyal.

[SingleFringe&Sparks]

Which is just as problematic. In this case, if you want to dress your Saiyan up in Saiyan armor, even if they give you a couple of sets that you can change the colors on, you're missing out on like a dozen other designs just because they officially belonged to someone. Why can't I try and create a unique armor combination by picking Nappa's boot's, Radit'z waist section, Vegeta's Chest section and Bardock's glove things, without looking like a multicolored freak with ZERO sense of fashion? Even Nappa, Raditz and Vegeta were color coordinated.

And if by chance the ones they give that you can change the colors on end up looking like the official character ones that you can't change, then why are they wasting space by doubling them up for no reason?

This is a huge problem, it literally cuts options in half now that we'd be forced to clash things like this. All Saiyan armour belongs to someone so they're going to just be locked on default white? Smh. Most of the detailed costumes belong to the official cast already. Getting something like Slug's suit and not being able to colour it is BS. Its bad enough the Saiyan tails are attached to the Armour itself as well. Seriously. Who thought this was a good idea?

[KentalSSJ6]

If SSJ4 Vegeta ever does get sold later as DLC I may pick him up for possible moves to learn if anything. Otherwise, those armors are downright fugly. Unless you wanna make Saint Seiya in this I see no reason to buy the gold armor. I see no reason to pre-order this currently. Has anyone got any info on that Saiyan edition that was also leaked?

Pretty sure the Saiyan edition was the old name for the Trunks travel edition.

Very likely. The Saiyan edition on Amazon was changed to Trunks Travel Edition so it's gone.

I wish Bandai Namco would've included a figure of the Future Warrior than just normal Trunks.
