Gaming Watch Dogs N.A Pre-order. How to get the most of it?

[stanleyopar2000]

I want to get Watch Dogs for the PS3 but don't know where to start...I'm looking to get a edition that is just more than the game but there are so many...There is amazon's , best buy, and gamestops pre-order incentive. But all of them are different and if you want all 3 perks you have to spend a fortune. I know that Ubisoft has a Uplay edition, that has all bonuses? ( I really want that Aiden Statue) But I don't know if that uplay edition is for PC or Europe? And I can't even import the uplay edition because it detects my IP address is USA and it re-directs me to the N.A Home page. Any advice would be appreciated. I would like to get the most pre-order exclusive items I can. And i'm even going to compromise the "I'll never do digital" motto i've run with just this last time if I can get more exclusive content, if that is the case...

Maybe just pre-order limited USA edition and get the pass? i don't know..the way the season pass is described on uPlay's website, makes it look like that the "pre-order bonues" will be split into day one DLC. Or is the Season Pass just for PC?

Or maybe IMPORT the Dedsec edition? It pretty much comes with everything but the Gangster and cyberpunk outfits. Which is pretty much the best out of all of them. Looks like the massive uPlay edition is for Europe AND for PC only? Can I even PLAY the European game on my N.A PS3?

...or maybe IMPORT the Vigalantie edition?...only comes with 1 of the 3 DLC's and no statue but it does come with the cap and mask.


After all. The previous gen is probably the last gen I'll stay with because the current gen doesn't really interest me and I have a bookshelf of PS3 games to complete ANYWAY! some advice about what to do or what to pre-order would really help!

okay, maybe since people don't know what to do or I put too much for them to read...CAN I PRE-ORDER THE DEDSEC OR VIGILANTE EDITION AND WILL IT PLAY ON MY NORTH AMERICAN PS3??

The PS3 isn't region-locked, so to answer the second part of your question: Yes, it will play on your PS3.

And gat-dayamn, the different preorder bonuses and versions are overwhelming

know anywhere where I can pre-order the dedsec edition or import it to the USA?

Eh, you could always go with Amazon UK, but I'm not sure how much the international shipping charge will be. Here's some info on international shipping rates. I don't know if it applies to big, bulky collector edition boxes.

I don't have an account with Amazon UK, but in my experience ordering from Amazon Japan, international shipping can get ridiculously high. You can get a break in shipping costs by ordering a lot. For example, when Hyrule Historia was first released in Japan, I wanted to order a copy but the shipping was $35 for a $30 book. However if I ordered 10 copies, the shipping would only increase to $50. In the end I found 9 other people who also wanted a Japanese copy, then I ordered 10 copies of it and split the total cost 10-way. But again, that's Amazon Japan. Not sure how it works with Amazon UK.

Preorders for the PS3 version are opening soon on Play-Asia. You might want to check there periodically.

Thanks friend! however I see that there is no price for the PS3 version but the 360 version is 179.99. So when it becomes available it's looking like that price eh?

No problem!

Yeah, I'd expect to pay somewhere in that price range.

And I take back what I said about ordering from Amazon UK--you can't order video games from them because they won't ship PC/video games to the US

Looks like I found my answer..




the american limited edition and the SEASON PASS comes with all 3 DLC campaigns and most of the physical content. Minus the cards, the map and the cap. With the season pass they are including all the content and the outfits like the gangster one from the vigilante pack or the cyberpunk one. Now, that I plan on getting the season pass...is it still worth it to pre-order?

 

[Talon]

I bought the dedsec edition it has most of the stuff in it the season pass kinda seems like a rip off

 

[ImNotSkilled]

By any chance, does someone know the download size for PS3?

 

[Pedeadstrian]

13.93GB. Unless you meant the digital download and not the torrent download.
