Have you pre-ordered a copy of the game yet? Found any cheaper offers? Let us know in the comments.
Some nice offers there. But… we need pre-order bonus details first before we decide!
They already announced some DLC: A Sonic Pinball game featuring a Generations Logo and a Casino Night Zone theme.
Hogfather means for the UK. Currently only the U.S. has the pre-order bonus DLC.
The people who said the UK doesn’t get anything good should slap themselves right about now…
im from ireland so should i wait till the day to buy theese over currency conversion ?????
I don’t know anything about Irish currency I’m afraid.
I’d suggest browsing the price of the game on Irish retailer websites and comparing them to the GBP prices on an online currency converter like Xe.com. If the GBP price is cheaper, then yeah, order a copy to be shipped over.

sendit.com doesnt do free delivery anymore wtf 🙁
Damn! I hadn’t noticed that. Thanks for the heads up. That brings the price to £29.88 for the 3DS version. I may as well go with The Hut or Zavvi then, as it works out 3p cheaper and I’ve used them before.
HMV site says the PS3 and 360 version are £39.99. Not what you’ve posted.
Woah! They raised the price pretty quick. It was definitely £29.99 for both PS3 and Xbox 360 yesterday. Glad I placed my pre-order while it was still cheap. Thanks for the heads up! I’ll edit the post. Guess The Game Collection are now the cheapest at £31.99.
Would a UK copy of the game work on a US xbox 360?
It depends if SEGA region-lock the game or not. Most Xbox 360 games are region-locked, but some aren’t. I guess you could ask SEGA on Twitter or Facebook and see if they know if the game will be region-locked yet.
I pre-ordered the Standard Edition AND the Collector’s Edition from Amazon. I’ll get it a day early. 😀
