Would be funny, but highly unlikely. 

 

Going to place my order for this soon. I love me some of them Collector's Editions. Nearly every game I own across PC/PS3 is a collectors. Charging €48 for a collector's edition like this is great since I've dropped €150 on some before. Shipping fee is quite large, but hell at least only take a week or two to get here. Hope the Models holds up in the flesh...plastic...metal or whatever it's made out of.

Dense resin.

And no, it's not attached upside down. The photo was just taken from the wrong angle.

Yes! I wish for posters. And I wish that this CE also had the tech tree posters like the other Sins CE.

Ordered mine. I think USD$70 is reasonable for what we're getting, especially if you're selling it more or less at cost (I imagine due to low quantities).

But BY GOD MAN, please fix your shipping prices before release! USD$50 shipping from US to Australia for a 4.5lb (2kg) parcel is absurd.

Yarlen has said it is expected to be mid August at the moment. That might change though.

and on a slightly different note, I have seen actual retail boxes of rebellion in both ebgames AND jbhifi here in au, eb want 39.95 and jb want 37.95.

 I do not know what is in the dvd box other than a disk & serial code or what is ON the disc.

Why on earth do us non Facebook people have to go visit that site, instead of posting here a dedicated forum of Sins lovers?

Is there going to be a Rebellion that you can buy on a disk?  Call me old school but I like to have disks of games not downloads.

I just want to know if the standard edition is going to come out in a disk form.  Don't want the collectors edition.

if you are in australia, you CAN buy a copy at ebgames & jb hifi, but I do not know if any other countries have a similar potential.

The price is totally justified for what you get. Posters, dvd (I mean please, this thing alone would cost you 15 to 25 dollars), ship model(another 20 or 30), and mousepad. Besides, I really need a new mousepad.

*edit* (you cant even get a game dvd unless you get this   in the US and most places)

Quoting sulley1,

Out of curisoty, wanted to see what happened if shipped to US, less than 50 bucks.....

Hmmm, will have a disk but more than likely, still need Steam to play....

yes it still DOES NEED the sublimated ice, and the price at jb hifi is 37.95 but at eb games it is 39.95, so as usual eb is gouging us gamers for an additional TWO DOLLARS for the SAME item, AND as I promised a few days ago, here is a couple of pictures of the box

rebellion boxc infromt of the menu

a close up of the box in front of the rebellion menu

and a pic of the box infront of my b4 box (my third fastest comp(3.4ghz i72600k, the two fastest are 4ghz i7930 & 4ghz core2quad 9550), but has the MOST ram (32gb). now frogboy just TRY to create a game that CAN use ALL of the ram in this little toy

Thanks for the pictures harpo. Your gaming setup looks pretty hardcore. One question: does that retail version require Steam? If it does, why would they make a retail version for Australia and New Zealand?

Is Steam the "sublimated" you speak of?
