Will the Collector's Edition be available in English for every territory, or will it be translated? I'm referring to the novel/comic, manual and text-related stuff. I'm from Romania and apparently no retailer will get the CE, so I'll have to pre-order it from Germany or France. I can't speak German, my French is not bad, but I'd like to have the CE in English. So if I preorder it from amazon.de, will the novel and the other stuff be in German?

Have you tried emailing the folks at amazon to find out?

I'd think you'd be gettin the english version, personally.

I can't access their chat and I can't send them an e-mail. I tried replying in one of the product's topics, but I couldn't because I haven't bought any amazon.de items.

Have you checked to see if Amazon has a hotline to call? Maybe you could make a requisition for a CE in English?

What about Amazon UK?

Amazon UK has the standard edition. Apparently, only game.co.uk and some other site will get the CE, but they don't ship to Romania for some reason.



I spoke to someone using their chat, but on amazon.com and they couldn't tell me if amazon.de has the game in English. If amazon.de has a hotline, I'm guessing I'd have to speak German.

Try this, taken right off the amazon.de site: "Customers outside Germany can reach us at +49 9 41-78 87 88"
Since they are recognizing customers outside Deutschland, you prolly won't need to sprechen sie...

CEs in other languages than English? Not in this world.

Well, amazon.de couldn't tell me right now if the CE is translated. I hope I'll find it on ebay. Why the hell is this edition so exclusive to certain retailers?



Yeah right. Fallout 3 CE was translated. Check these out:

Not only that, but the game was cut (no blood, no body parts flying around).

Apparently the French version will also be translated, but not censored. What is up with the distribution of the collector's edition? Why are there exclusive retailers and such?

Well, since you're posting here. I'm assuming you can read/speak English fluently. Why not order from Amazons American/UK branch and have it shipped to you? (I'm not sure how shipping and etc works so just tossing ideas to you)

I did check out amazon.com, but they won't ship to Romania (or Europe, I think). On top of that, the shipping price would be about 50% of the package.

Well can't you buy from whatever division serves the United Kingdom?

You can try pre-ordering from GAME or Gamestation, which are the UK retailers that sell the CE.

I tried that as well, but they don't ship to Romania for some reason. I'm going to try a few South African stores or a package forwarding service from the UK.
