Following today’s price drop, Amazon, the UK exclusive carrier of the Sonic Generations Special Edition, has now sold out of the item on both platforms, thus rendering it sold out in the UK. But don’t worry if you missed out, you can still get it imported from one of many retailers worldwide. Check out our list of retailers and price here.
Thanks to Blue Blood at the SSMB and Rogodre in our comments section for the heads up!

Well it looks like the price drop was a push to give the last packages.
Good going Sonic gen. Sold out on both platforms and two times now. the Australian retailer got some more if i remember correctly.
Yea EBGames in Australia and New Zealand are listing it now, but I don’t think they shop overseas. Mighty Ape has sold out twice now for the PS3 edition. They still have some of their second allocation of Xbox360 copies left tho if your fast!
Please tell me that SEGA is going to be handing it to other retailers soon… Because if not. Im going to feel really dissapointed and annoyed that i didnt pre-order it sooner rather than waiting for GAME to confirm they’re selling it…
I’d have thought other retailers would have listed it by now if they were getting it. The GAME Group has the Special Edition as their exclusive.
Then i guess im gonna be depressed about this all night…
You can still import it. Lots of retailers around the world ship to the UK.

But im looking for the 360 version. Which isnt region free like the PS3.
Ehh. Nevermind. Decided to go with NZ.
Australia and other EU countries are also part of the PAL region, so copies from those territories will run on UK consoles.
Scary to think they were snatched up so quickly…glad I got mine earlier =S
I do hope Game or Gamestation would do the collector’s edition, if they can do things like Gears of War collector’s editions, the why not Sonic Generations 🙁
I think it depends on who the publisher stocks it with and how much stock they’re making. It appears SEGA decided to give it Amazon exclusively and instead give the GAME Group (GAME, Gamestation and Gameplay) the Special Edition exclusively.

Man, I never knew Gameplay was owned by GAME. They really do have a stranglehold on the UK market. And here was me thinking I was sticking it to the man by ordering from Gameplay…
Managed to get mine pre-ordered last week while at work. Someone must have cancelled a pre-order while i was browsing it or something. Amazon.co.uk 360 pre-order! In before the lock! Can’t wait for this gaaaame!
Wow! Glad I have my PS3 copy ordered on 9th September.
Good Luck to everyone. There is still Amazon Germany and some Retailers in Spain.
Oh well, I never had the money for a collectors edition anyways. I’ll be happy to have the regular copy 🙂
Glad I ordered mine early! 🙂 The price drop confirmed earlier helps too! So excited, it’s probably going to be the rarest item in my collection besides my Yuji Naka signed copy of SA2!
I wonder…if the ring is numbered, exactly how many of these collector’s editions are being released?
I believe they said they were. Will be unique =)
Didn’t pre-order Collector’s, did pre-order Special Edition. I’m gonna have to fight for my copy aren’t I?
I ordered the Special Edition then brought the Collector’s edition- I’m wondering if the content on the Special is available with the Collectors and I can save myself £30
Yes, it is. The DLC is included. You can even see the DLC card in the pictures of the set.
Yea but DLC contains themes and Pinball Minigame ONLY. No exclusive levels in it :(.
Pre-ordered mine in Holland… now to scrape the actual money for it together.
Pre ordered mine in Germany…its the first pre ordering on the internet…its scary
I already pre-ordered mine at gamestop 2 weeks ago. I don’t mind if its a special edition or not, I just want to play the game, lol.
btw your supposed to get that special code thing to download the Casino Night DLC right? do you get the code once you get the game or is it on the recipt or something if you already pre-ordered it?
It looks like it’s included in the set – the card at the bottom right of the image seems to be a DLC code.
If you mean in-store at GameStop, I hear they usually print the code(s) on the receipt. Whatever they do, you’ll get it one way or another.
Lucky I didn’t wait. I ordered the day it went up! PS3 version.
I hope SEGA takes this as an indicator that people want this, now put it in canada and the US? 🙁
Unfortunately I think Sonic is proportionally more popular in the UK. I don’t think they’d change their plans so close to release.
Which is lame..
Don’t think I’ll be getting it anytime soon now 🙁 I wish SEGA would hand it to other Retailers like GAME I just don’t have that much money to get the Collector Edition from other retailers around the world I really regret not pre-ordering it sooner :/
I’m glad that i preordered the game 🙂
I was gonna wait and see if GAME got it, but I’m glad I gave in and preordered the 360 Collector’s Edition on Amazon before they ran out. ><
when did they have the 360 one i neva saw it :O
Amazon Germany price dropped from 98,03 to 95,50, so about $3.50 cheaper.
Congrats to our friends elsewhere around the world. This is going to be some celebration.

Wonder if all the text will be in german if you ordered from Amazon Germany or will it all be the same in all regions?
Does anyone know if the German Amazon version will have all writing in German? If it’s in English then I wouldn’t hessitate. Can anyone shed any light on this issue?
In Spain in GAME and Gamestop it costs 130€, luckily i got one in amazon.
I’m so glad I preordered it when I did. And I still don’t have a 360 for it. lol.
Now you just need to pick up a 360 with Gears of War 3; one game featuring plenty of blue and the other featuring plenty of red.
Didn’t think it would sell out so quick so I’m glad I pre-ordered early.
umm they havent sold out of both cos no one was able to pre-order the xbox one ? :/
@Shadzter
Mighty Europe are selling Generations Collectors Edition for $199.99 what is it in pounds… I’m in Europe 😛
I mean *MightApe* sorry error with my laptop :S
Depends what if it’s New Zealand dollars or Australian dollars. New Zealand dollars is about £95-£99 plus shipping and it’s $169.99 in Australia which is about £107 plus shipping.
Or for Euros for Australia= 123 Euros
or Euros for New Zealand= 114 Euros.
Does this help? 🙂
YES YES 😀
OMG Thank you so much 🙂 I thought it would be more expensive so I started to accept that there would be no chance for me to get but now Thanks to you I now know I still have a chance to get it 🙂 Thanks again plus I know you pre-ordered it before hopefully you won’t get charged 😛
Tomorrow I’ll pre-order it right away 🙂
No one else is pre-ordering from JB Hi-Fi?
* is kind of worried now *
The PS3 version of the Collector’s Edition is available again on Amazon UK.
Scratch that. It’s now sold out. 🙁
You know what, just forget my second comment. It’s available. 😀
A UK site called ‘Propel Gamer’ has it listed at £149.99? that price is way above retail. I think I will have to order the standard version.
Does anyone know if Amazon uk will be getting this back in stock? i asked them in an email, all i got was a reply back saying to sign up and i will get a notification when they come back in stock.
But no word on IF it would be coming back in stock.
Not interested in other language versions as i don’t want that text on it, only english.
Anyone know where to order??
*sigh* Being American kinda sucks! XD Hopefully some nice people put the Collector’s Edition’s items up on ebay on time for Christmas! (that doesnt cost $500!) I need that statue! XD
I have preordered the Sonic Generations Collector’s Edition to keep new and sealed and I have ordered the Sonic Generations Special Edition so that I can actually play the game. 🙂
