Pets are now official

[Leto85]

What exactly is included in the Limited Edition? Is it just another rabbit hole? If it is I don't need it.

Well, EA promished earlier on that the Petstore wouldn't be a rabbit hole, but in the Extra Expensive edition you can build your own.
Yes, I think just for that option I will go for ExExp. Eventhoughif Holland limits itself to digital download only. (Stupid Holland, you stupid. )

If you mean the EA store/Origin, don't blame Holland, blame EA. It's their choice. I think only Americans can get a physical copy from there. And don't be jealous of that, I've never seen another shop charge as much money for the games as EA does.

Why don't you wait a little while and see if it pops up in Dutch shops? Danish shops don't even have a confirmed release date yet, I think us little ones are pretty far down the EA mailing list.
Or you can buy the UK edition from the link samoht posted: play.com
They seem to deliver to all of Europe. You can still play it in Dutch, it will just have an English manual.

English manual? But I don't even speak one single word English. Only Dutch and that 'weird unknown slang' we are speaking here.
If that site will ship in whole Europe I really will be one happy European, so thanks!
You're European too? Where do you live than, if I may ask? If you place 'pets' at the end you are not offtopic.

Ps. I saw it is still the Digital version (explained to me in Dutch) so no case for me I'm afraid.
The text said: 'ESD (Electronic Software Download)'. Whatever that may mean, but it sound digital. Not physical.

Denmark. Look a little to your North, the thing on top of Germany that looks kinda like a gnome with a big nose.

Really? That's so annoying. Where do you find that, I don't see it?

If you wave, I will wave back.

On this page. But I'm sure it will look different for you. Yeah, in German perhaps, but I doubt if it will contain the same text. How good is your Dutch? The following message I've got on that page I've just send to you:

Dank je voor het vertalen!
Thank you for translating!

Je welkom
Your welcome.

[Leto85]

Je welkom
Your welcome.

Aaah, sweet! Translated as two different words you have the right translation, but 'Je welkom' isn't really something we would say here. You see, 'Your welcome' isn't something that can be litterly translated here at all. We will say 'Graag gedaan.' Con gusto in Spanish, can't be translated to English litterly.

Had everybody already read this link? http://www.thesimszone.co.uk/editorials/index.php?ID=56&Page=4 Nice info for the console players among us.

How good is your Dutch?

Actually, I could understand about half of that and guess the rest.

But I still don't get it. Does the play.com site say ESD? It doesn't for me.

[VampirePlasma]

Ha, Alex wrote it. He was close, thought good.

Am I right in assuming that "Extra Expensive" is just Leto's name for the limited edition and not really a special release?  If that's the case, I suggest we not use the term "Extra Expensive" because it's very confusing for readers (like me).

@PJ:  I got the information about all pre-orders containing the extra content either from reading about it or from watching/reading an interview.  I don't recall exactly where.

It doesn't for me, I've only ever had Hard Copies off them. The Link Leto Linked to was some website in Dutch that I had never heard of or like the look of very much.

@ Leto, have a look at this Link, for Europe it is a 7-10 Day Delivery, I don't know if you will get it on release though.

Hmm, I don't think that can be right though, I think it has to be the limited edition. But then it might work differently in the US, that's often how it is. Probably in the US the limited edition is the only one available for pre-order so it makes no difference to you where you buy it.
Over here we have to search for it.

Probably yes. I've read that the limited edition will be the same price as the standard edition but I'm sure it won't be.
