For once it seems we are getting a better deal than the UK. No tin case or map for them plus the 3 ce items are only if they ordered from game. Also poor french getting shafted due to the touton law. Now if only I can get confirmation on the memory band and everything will be great.

Nearly there folks - we've been able to confirm a few things and gather up more info for you.

I'm working with Chris Priestly to prepare an update across the forums as soon as we can, instead of piecemealing it out - we have a few folks out of commission coming out of PAX which is slowing this down however, but hopefully sometime this week.

As mentioned before, we will likely close or unsticky this thread but create a new sticky with just the facts ma'am. Bear with us.

As to the more frequent questions on here...

PC CE box:
North America
- steel book (aka. metal tin), map, etc as per our page.
- English only box & docs
- Quebec: See France note

Germany
- steel book (aka. metal tin), map, etc as per our page.
- German only box & manual, however map & bonus content is still in English

UK
- Only the GAME exclusive edition is available
- Plastic dvd case with cardboard sleeve, no map
- English only box & docs

France
- Sorry, there is no French box & docs which means it will not be able to be sold there due to Toubon law
- Haven't been able to confirm, but I believe this would mean it will also not be available in Quebec

Rest of World (yes, incl rest of Europe, Nordic countries, Oz, etc)
- steel book (aka. metal tin), map, etc as per our page.
- English only box & docs


Note 1: there are limited numbers of these (particularly the Rest of World), so it may still not show up in some countries or shops - as always, make sure you check with your local retailer

Note 2: Some territories won't carry all languages that the game supports. When we do the full update I'll try to call out the ones we are aware of - again, best to check with local retailer or EA Store if you have one


Digital Deluxe:
Rest of World
- as per our page

UK
- does not include the 3x CE items are these are exclusive to the GAME box edition

Note 1: There are a lot more pre-order sites coming 'online', with more in the upcoming weeks. You should start to see not only the regular digi edition but also the deluxe edition at your prefered digi sites in the upcoming weeks.
