Are the steel books a widespread thing? I read that the figurines are exclusive to the Nintendo UK store (which means full RRP and probably late shipping *sigh*, oh well), but nothing specific about the steel books.

had a email from game stell book case looks like to be a game a nintendo store exclusive

There is no reason to play a game of "which region has it worse" when a person makes a minor complaint. Valid points exist for discussion, but there's no need to accuse one another of whining and the like, because at the end of the day the availability of preorder bonuses and special editions of video games is one of the most first-worldest of first world problems imaginable.

Bringing up the facts that there's still the week delay AND that the steelbooks cost extra suffices. Hell, I had no idea they were extra until now.

Poster?? Where...?

Gamestop pre order bonus.

So is it one of those.... As soon as you pre-order it you get it? Or I pick it up the day it releases?

I think it's a launch day thing.

*sigh*

Looks like I might have to pick up my copy some where else then....

My local gamestop didn't even have the X & Y poster pre-order poster, Really don't feel like going all the way to the mall.... but hey they have 10x better customer service than my local one.

I already have my game preordered at Deerbrook mall GameStop. (The customer service at the mall locations are always better then the standalone locations anyway.)

Should've pre-ordered at Willobrook and we could've meet up on launch day :p
