Hellgate - collectors edition availability?

Seems the collectors edition will not be available within the UK. Any of you guys bothering to import in order to get the extra gear?

What extra gear do you get? Do you really need it?

Personnally, when I get a game I stick the disk/booklet and code in a pouch with the rest of my games, and throw the rest away. Don't need any more trinkets/clutter.

Thanks for the heads up - am looking to get the collectors edition from gamestop.com (hardly a competitor since they are a foreign company) and looking forward to the bonuses you can get. Have got high hopes for this game and fingers crossed it lives upto expectations - if it does then its gonna be a lifetime joiners fee methinks.

Taken from the official Hellgate Website:

European Pre-orders
Howdy folks. I know some of you have been wondering if your country is participating in the pre-order promotion for the Dye Kits, Founders Offer, etc. Well, now I've got the official list. Take a look.

* Germany - Gamestop
* Switzerland - World of Games
* Poland - Gram.pl and Ultima
* Finland - Tilt
* Sweden - GAME, EB Games/Gamestop
* Norway - GAME, EB Games/Gamestop
* Denmark - GAME, EB Games/Gamestop

I couldn't find links to some of the GAME/Gamestop stores, so try calling your local shop and ask about the pre-order - it might be that they're only doing in-store pre-orders.

For you UK folks, unfortunately, your local retailers are not participating in the pre-order promotion. You can still pre-order the game, but you will not receive the Dye Kit offer. Here are some links where you can pre-order the game:

* XXXX
* XXX
* XXXX
* XXXXXXX

Also, for those of you who are still asking if there will be a Collector's Edition available in the UK/Europe, there will not be. We really wanted it to be available everywhere, but things just didn't work out. Importing a copy is always an option, though you may want to check this FAQ first.

Really don't know if I'm that bothered about the collectors.

I am really looking forward to this now though.

I wouldn't mind getting the collectors edition if it has a nice box, and some good stuff. Some collectors editions just have a poster and some extra boring stuff

If you pre-order you get a mini graphic novel by dark horse comics, poster, map of the station hubs, dye kit for your suit and limited edition pet too - all good fun n on top of that u get a chance to pay a 1 off lifetime fee instead of £7 per month.
