i only have one question. i went to buy.thewitcher.com and tried to preorder the retail ce, but the only store it showed me, was game.co.uk. and as far as i know they do not send packages over 1kg outside uk. and this monster probably goes beyond that.

so, will there be an alternative? like amazon.co.uk?

Published by...Namco Bandai? I didn't know that CDP had a relationship with them. :O

Holy shit, it has risen £35 since I pre ordered my copy last night for £95.

Damn, £130?! Seems like Namco gets a fat profit, as it would be cheaper to buy W3 CE in Poland (so straight from CDPR/CDP) and have it shipped to Slovenia.

They published W2 in Europe as well...

It's £130 at GAME too. I am not complaining of course. :P

The most likely cause for the high prices of the preorders is that there isn't a price set at this point. If Amazon tells you that you can pre-order the collector's for $75, but CD Project then releases it for $90, Amazon cannot increase its price. On the other hand, if Amazon lists the pre-order at $90 but CD Project announces at $75, Amazon can decrease its price to the announced levels.
Standard pre-order pricing from what I recall.

Still 130 gbp for a game? That's crazy... That's actually more than I've spent on all my games here together.. And most of my gaming money went to GOG.

Well no, you're also paying for the extras. Look at that statue for example. How much do you think that'd be worth retail?! Nevermind the book, the soundtrack etc.

I admit they look cool, however 130GBP is a huge amount of money (or at least in my country...)

Isn't that why Romanians are coming over to my country so much??? ;)

Yeah, I've heard we're "invading" :). I have no idea who though because most of us who wanted to leave the country already left 10-20 years ago. I've also had job offers from the UK, Germany etc, but always turned them down because I like living here. I have friends and family here. The unfortunate part is that lots of "scum" have also left the country and they're the ones who ruin our reputation.

That scum is the ones ruining our town! hahaha! If you get offered a good job take it! God knows, I am struggling to find a decent job. Wish someone would offer me one! :P

Back on topic, atleast your get some great stuff for your money. It's not like those Halo boxsets where they're just loaded with lots of cheap rubbish.
