If anyone decides to sell this on please give me first dibs!

And 2nd dibs for me, I don;t normally buy this type of game so I am reluctant to spend 40ish quid, which import sites seem to be charging.

Got this as my first game for my new PS3 Slim (US version), its fantastic and frustrating at the same time. Start as a royal and working my way to a magic warrior style build.

Spent ages grinding souls and mats to get a crescent weapon, not find any darkmoonstones yet tho

If I remember correctly the Geckos & Reapers in world 4 will give you Darkmoonstone, especially the 2 Geckos at the Storm King as they may well drop Pure Darkmoonstone

TBH you would be really lucky to get it for less than £40, especially the US version. I was bidding on one and had to pass at £60

IMO the best £40 I've spent on a game, and if I can get another copy I will never let it go. If you like a challenge in a game you'll love it!!!

Had a bad night with this, died a lot on level 4-1 probably because I'm trying to rush. Switched to assassins creed 2 for a break and finding myself wanting to switch back to at least get all of the first sections done for each chapter. Had a few tries at old king doran too, but he was a little too mean.

Is this still not out in the UK? I may have to look at picking up a copy before I fly back from the US for a friend now, I figured it would be out by now.

Nope still import only.

Just emailed him and got a reply in less than 30 seconds saying "yes get it and buy yourself a copy as well so ive got someone to play with".

I think hes he wants it...

$59.99 if i just grab it from the local gamespot or bestbuy on the way back to the airport Plus Tax its still going to come out around about £40

Really tempted to pick this up - has it been given a UK release date at all guys?

LOL

*EDIT* Just read 2/3 posts up!! Sorry.

griffy · 15 Dec 2009 at 09:28

Gonna try and buy myself a copy of this asap!
Any tips on where to buy from? Or anyone in the USA coming to Uk sometime soon?

Windle · 15 Dec 2009 at 10:42

Axel Music as they ship from the EU so no Customs charges.

Davey_Pitch · 15 Dec 2009 at 10:57

I ordered my copy from VideoGamesPlus and it had no problems with Customs as they put on the package it was a game worth $20, which is under the amount which gets taxed. Really quick delivery too, only took a week to get here from Canada.

Lost to my first boss last night, the Fool's Idol on 3-1. I loved the level itself, getting there was great fun, especially fighting the Black Phantom outside the boss. I had her tactics completely nailed down as well, had her down to within two combos of killing her, and while I was trying to heal she caught me with a sneaky Soul Arrow or whatever she fires, and killed me. I'll definitely have her tonight, she's really quite easy, I just got a little sloppy when trying to hide. After I take her down it'll be onto 4-1 and then 5-1

How much did it cost? I can't seem to find it on their site.

AxelMusic have it for a £40.37 and I am really tempted, but I will go with wherever is cheapest tbh.

With delivery it came to £44 or so. Not the cheapest but it had the bonus art book and soundtrack CD with it so I went for them over other places like Renchi.

Can you still see it on their site? Maybe the non special edition (which it sounds like you got) might be cheaper?

Unfortunately Videogameplus only do the edition Davey got, but imo as you get the CD and Artbook for the extra £3 you would have to pay Axelmusic it looks like the best deal around

I am after the Deluxe edition but as it's so hard to find & now discontinued it goes for silly money on fleabay

Davey_Pitch · 15 Dec 2009 at 11:38

Nope, looks like it's gone from the site, must've sold out recently.

Ah, cool. I just want a vanilla edition, don't even know if I will like the game. I will do some more research today and then decide, and hope AxelMusic can deliver it before xmas

Lucked out today, was taking my Assassins Creed 2 and MW2 for trade-in. Decided to check if the local Indie shop would give me more than the £55 Gamestation offered and they did (£58).

Was looking for what to get and spotted a pre-owned US Demon's Souls Deluxe Edition for £39. They were selling it new for £49.99 :eek:

Awesome!

Sareth · 15 Dec 2009 at 13:48

The guide that comes with the deluxe edition is useful but also some suffer from really badly printed covers, the ink is coming off mine and the replacement service will of course only ship to US & Canada residents, bear that in mind when looking at those deluxe editions.

griffy · 16 Dec 2009 at 11:29

I caved in and ordered this from Axel. Can't wait now to get stuck in, just hope it shows up before Christmas!

griffy · 16 Dec 2009 at 11:48

"People with the North American version will be on separate servers, and not able to interact with people playing other versions"

Can anyone confirm this to be true? I am getting the US version, so if anyone else with the same wants to try some co-op over the festive period, get in touch!
