95 Comments

1. I’ve gotta be honest, I’ve never heard of any of these websites…
   But I’m sure they are all perfectly safe and trustworthy… right?!

   1. DVD and Base I hear good things about over at HotUKDeals.com
      http://www.hotukdeals.com

      The other two are run by the same company, so I imagine they’re great too, just not known as well as the others.

2. Interesting that SEGA have given the deal to websites that no-one has heard of instead of Game or HMV. Wonder why they did that?

   1. maybe they are doing a suprise for the fans if they never heared of such sites

3. i hope at the end of the game SEGA will link all the songs together like they did for sonic 1 ,2,and 3

4. Awsome!
   More fans will have a chance to get it.

5. Don’t be afraid , I ordered from blahdvd the game Red Dead Redemption and their service is excellent.

6. GAME really need to get it, i want all those reward points 😛

7. Are all of these sites legit? Ive never heard of any of them.

   1. They’re definitely legit. I’ve been browsing these sites for the past few years comparing prices. I’ve not used them myself yet, but I hear good things from those who have used Base and DVD at http://www.hotukdeals.com. The other two are owned by the same company, so I expect they’re just as good.

8. Thanks, this helped a lot 🙂

9. Wow I’ve never heard of these sites before O.o I think I’ll try Base.com Right I’m order tomorrow and hopefully I won’t miss out again gaah i might make the account later or tomorrow I won’t waste anymore time tomorrow I’ll pre-order….need to be quick I’m so nervous o_o

   1. OH AND THANK YOU SHADZTER! 🙂

      1. No probs. Glad there’s now another UK retailer selling it so you don’t miss out 😀

10. HA I GOT MINE ON AMAZON DAY ONE FOR 85.94 ON amazon and then the 10 pounds price cut to Amazon’s £75.94

    dont pay 99 pounds

    1. There’s currently no other option, so anyone wanting it now will have to pay the £99.99. Amazon’s all out of stock and these are the only other retailers selling it right now. Hopefully another retailer will start listing it, and at a cheaper price. Until then though, this is the only UK option.

       1. Honestly, 10 pounds extra for getting it now after waiting so long without making your move is a small penalty. At least smaller than not being able to get it at all!

    2. While you have to pay extra money for shipping others get it for free shipping. So think about that first. Just saying…

    3. I preordered it day one from amazon for £70 ! HA XD

11. Grrraaggghhh! XD I placed an order with Amazon.de the moment I found out they were shipping to the US, but then I got cold feet about ordering from a non-English-speaking retailer, so I cancelled and made a pre-order with Mighty Ape (once they got more stock in), for about $30 more (the price of peace of mind).

    Now I find out about this, which, while not as cheap as Amazon, seems to be less expensive than Mighty Ape. Not sure if I really wanna go through the trouble of cancelling and making yet ANOTHER pre-order. Maybe I should just settle for what I’ve got.

    1. Ha ha! That is a big mess. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to do it again if this is the cheaper English option XD

    2. If you do do it again, make sure you have it confirmed with one of these sites before cancelling the other, or you could end up with nothing =(

12. Did Amazon.de run out? Guess this would be the best alternative if they have

    1. Looks like Amazon.de still have stock.
       http://www.amazon.de/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?__mk_de_DE=%C5M%C5Z%D5%D1&url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=sonic+generations&x=0&y=0

13. Im wondering if i should still hold out for GAME.

    1. I wouldn’t, they should have announced something by now if that was the case. =(

14. Aaaaand once again, a retailer’s not delivering to my country.

    Why do they hate us so much

15. I have a question can I just go to a store and get the collectors edition or do I have to pre-order it?

    1. If you’re in the UK, there are currently no retailers offering the Collector’s Edition in-store, so you’ll have to order it online. If any retailers do offer it in-store between now and before the item ships (likely 2-3 days before release day), you can always cancel your online pre-order.

16. People I just remembered about something , if you’re gonna import it from BlahDVD they’ll cut 15% of the price because of taxes….if you don’t believe me than just try to order and in the end they’ll show you the real price and the option to place order….ENJOY!

17. Awesome! I’m in Canada. Are these guys trustworthy?

    1. I’ll repost one of my comments from further up.

       “They’re definitely legit. I’ve been browsing these sites for the past few years comparing prices. I’ve not used them myself yet, but I hear good things from those who have used Base and DVD at http://www.hotukdeals.com.

       1. Okay. I just don’t to spend money then not get it you know?
          Thank you. I’ll put in some more research.

18. still no south america :C

19. Have they sold out already? :O…. O.o There not avaliable D:

    1. OMG! :-O I hope you got your pre-order in.

    2. OMG!!! :O

       So its true! Sonic Fans are faster than Sound. They probably copied this from Sonic!

       Man please say you got this!

       1. I wish I could but Unfortunately I’ve missed out again 🙁 this close into pre-ordering….

          It’s wsiful thinking that there will be anothere retailer selling this but I doubt it 🙁 My Electricity cut off earlier for a while which means I couldn’t pre-order sooner…

          1. Aw, that sucks 🙁 I’ll keep my eye out for any more UK retailers that might get it in. In the meantime, maybe you could import it?

          2. Aww… Man that sucks 🙁

             I will search too. Hope more retailers will stock it. Oh and there is still Amazon.de. Oh and domt worry. It was confirmed in preview that you can change language in game to English.

             1. Thank you Shadzter and Hunter297

                I will have a look at the list again and I will also check out Amazon.de too…

             2. Does that mean the game is regionfree?

             3. @Shadow: PS3 games are region-free, but most Xbox 360 games aren’t. Some aren’t, but most are. We don’t yet know if Sonic Generations will be region-free on Xbox 360.

                What country do you live in? If you live in the PAL region, then Xbox 360 copies ordered from Australia or Germany will work fine on your console. If you live in the US and the game doesn’t turn out to be region-free, then you’ll need to pick up a US copy cheap. It’s worth it for this awesome Collector’s Edition in my opinion. Toys R Us and Amazon are selling it for about $40.

       2. lol

20. @anyone

    Please help. Is the AU DVD region locked? If so, could you play it on an Xbox 360? And what is the gold ring, I heard it is neck sized and is actual gold. Thank you 🙂

    1. The ring looks finger sized.

       As for the DVD, Australia is Region 4, so will likely only work on Xbox 360’s in the countries that are in that region:
       http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code

       You’ll probably need to get a region-free DVD player to watch it.

21. OK, so if I pre-order the game from Germany, it will still be possible to change the language. But will the instructions or anything else in the set be in German?

    1. Most manuals feature different languages, but we don’t know what they’re going to do with Sonic Generations. As for the CD and DVD, you can see in the pic that there are about 4 different languages in their cardboard case.

       1. This may sound silly, but I don’t see the picture you’re talking about. 😛 Could you please link me to it?

          1. The one up there in article 😛

             You know this with Collectors Edition 😀

             1. LOL
                I still don’t know where it is. Where is article?

             2. @Tiago J7 Monteiro: HUNTER297 is referring to the picture in this very news post, which you can click and enlarge. Here’s a direct link to the full sized image:
                http://www.sonicstadium.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Sonic-Generations-Xbox-360-Collectors-Edition.jpg

                If you look closely, you can see multiple languages on the DVD and CD’s case.

22. Whaaat?!? OH NO! Is there any chance of the dvd being region free? And what about the game, if you can chang the language won’t it be region free?

    1. I guess it’s possible SEGA could make the DVD region-free. As for the game, we don’t know yet. You can change the language, yes, but that doesn’t mean it’s confirmed to be region-free. A lot of region locked games also have that feature. Most Xbox 360 games are region locked, while some aren’t. We’ll just have to wait and see, unless SEGA can give us that information soon, as I imagine the game will be going into mass production now or soon.

23. I have to go to sleep now. I’m not too excited about the German set, but if it’s still available by tomorrow morning, I’ll pre-order it. Hey, I’ll probably be able to cancel it in case the UK sets become available again.

    I’ve got my eyes on that ring, book and documentary. 🙂

24. isn’t there a music cd? is that locked TOO? 🙁

    1. I’m not sure, but music CDs and DVDs are probably readable in any computer.
       The PS3 games are region-free, and yes, the language can be changed. So I was told.

       1. I say “so I was told” because this in the only place I found that information. Not to sound rude in any way.

          1. No offense taken 🙂 🙂

       2. So even thigh Xbox language can be changed it’s region locked? I was just going to ask about the computer, thanks 🙂

          1. That recent German video preview indicates that the language can be changed in the game’s settings. We don’t yet know if the game will be region locked, but most Xbox 360 games are. Australian DVD’s are region 4, so will likely only play in region 4 or region free DVD players. I don’t know if all PC’s are region-free DVD players. It’s possible SEGA could make the DVD region-free, though. As for the music CD, I’m sure all music CD’s are region-free.

             1. PC drives are typically region locked, but the region can be changed a set number of times through a menu, or can be made region-free through firmware hacking.

25. So how do you do it withou hacking?

26. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU7UUUUUUUUUUUUCK SOLD OUT!!!!!!

27. This is certainly become a hot item… I just hope there aren’t any grey market sellers hoping to make a profit from desperate fanboys.

    1. It wouldn’t surprise me if some folks have pre-ordered this just to sell it at an higher price on auction sites like eBay :-/

28. When is the next topic coming up lol, i’m anxious for more newwwwwws!

    1. No more Generations news at the moment. Gaming news always tends to come out Monday-Friday. Things always go quiet over the weekend because most companies don’t work during that time.

29. GOOD NEWS! 365games.co.uk is going to be stocking the Collector’s Edition. They haven’t opened pre-orders yet, but if you give them your e-mail address, they’ll let you know when they’re available to pre-order.
    Xbox 360:

    PS3:
    http://www.365games.co.uk/ps3-games/sonic-generations-collectors-edition

    I’ll post a news update when they’re available to order too.

    1. Do these guys deliver to Canada?

       1. Yes 🙂
          “We now offer free delivery to Australia, New Zealand, USA and Canada. We also provide the following services:
          EU £0.99 per item (includes Ireland).
          Rest of world £0.49 per item.
          If your country cannot be selected during checkout we are unable to deliver.
          Please note that certain items cannot be delivered outside of the UK mainland because of their size or weight. All delivery times are averages and not guarantees.”
          http://www.365games.co.uk/delivery

          We’ll have to wait and see whether the Collector’s Edition will be one of the items they would consider too big/heavy, though.

          1. Lets hope everyone will manage to get it. 🙂

             @C.J
             You better get it this time. We are counting on you bro 😉

          2. Wooooooo, this means I can cancel my pre-order at gamestop and finally get this :DDDDD

          3. Thank you! You’ve been such a big help!

    2. @Shadzter
       Thanks a lot for the news! 😀

    3. Thank you This really helps but… I don’t want to be rude but I just want to make sure, are you sure they still have it in stock or is like Amazon and everyother site saying. give your email for updates but they are actually out of stock, please reply, Thank you.

       1. @Shadzter

          OMG THANK YOU 😀 I BETTER GET ORDERING RIGHT NOW!

          @SA3 2011

          I PROMISE I WON’T THIS IS ANOTHER CHANCE SO HOPEFULLY I HAVEN’T MISSED OUT 😀

          1. Just read the message again sorry about that I will pre-order as soon as they have it in Thanks again Shadzter 🙂

             1. UK retailer ShopTo.net is now taking pre-orders 😀
                http://www.shopto.net/XBOX%20360/VIDEO%20GAMES/XB2SO14-Sonic%20Generations%20Collectors%20Edition.html

                http://www.shopto.net/PS3/VIDEO%20GAMES/PS3SO14-Sonic%20Generations%20Collectors%20Edition.html

             2. :O Another Retailer? Whoops I already made an account for 365games no matter it will still be useful if I miss this one again

                I’m gonna make another account 😀 and pre-order later tonight THANK YOU SO MUCH SHADZTER MUCH APPRECIATED 🙂

             3. @C.J: No probs! 🙂 You’re best to pre-order from ShopTo while they’re available and then if 365games turns out to be cheaper, you can always cancel the ShopTo pre-order and pre-order at 365games.

             4. @Shadzter I’ll pre-order it tomorrow early as possible seems I still need more money but I won’t waste time 🙂

             5. @C.J: You don’t need the money in your account until a few days before release when it ships. You don’t need it in there now to place a pre-order.

             6. @Shadzter

                Oh right Thanks for correcting me… I’ll pre-order tomorrow 🙂

30. Anyone know how to unlock a region free computer or at least change the setting?

31. I want a collectors edition so bad does anybody know where else it is sold PLEASE HELP ME!

32. I pre-ordered mine from Base.com and got an email confirming it. The status of my order says ‘pending’. Does this mean my copy is secure and will be delivered to me?

    1. Should be fine. I think it just means it’s held as a pre-order and is waiting to be processed when the stock comes in closer to release.

33. Ahhh great! I’ll stop worrying then.

    1. Yes that’s what it means

34. There’s another site where I pre-ordered my collector’s edition from. They’re still taking orders as well.

    http://www.jbhifi.com.au/games/sonic-generations-collectors-edition/

    1. Yes, I got mine at JB HiFi as well

35. I just found that Shopto.net are currently offering the Collectors edition for pre-order.

    http://www.shopto.net/XBOX%20360/VIDEO%20GAMES/XB2SO14-Sonic%20Generations%20Collectors%20Edition.html

36. http://www.graingergames.co.uk also stocks the PS3 version of the Collector’s Edition. It is 98 GBP and cannot be shipped outside of the UK unfortunately due to weight and rarity of the Collector’s Edition . Xbox version ran out of stock in the last few days.
