Bulletstorm "Epic Edition" FAQ

[Christm77]

Flak just wondering why GAME are being allowed to charge £5 more for the Epic Edition? Your FAQ said they both have the same RRP but GAME has them listed for seperate prices:

Standard:
http://www.game.co.uk/Games/Xbox-360...?s=Bulletstorm

Epic Edition:
http://www.game.co.uk/Games/Xbox-360...?s=Bulletstorm

^ The RRP is £49.99 so Im pretty sure they are well within their rights to sell it for £44.99

edit: Flak did say to just order it from Amazon and they will send EE

I pre-ordered Bulletstorm on the 28th of December from Play.com so will I get a free upgrade

if Play is part of the program, yes

Edit: it DOES say *All* pre-orders

Thanks Mate

I specifically pre-ordered the Epic edition off of GAME just to be safe. Don't really mind spending an extra £5

Its not good that Epic will not clarify the issue of Uk qualification for the auto upgrade for pre orders of Bulletstorm to the EE as it seems is clear for the US, I'm a Huge Gears Fan & I'm angry that uk fans seem always to be treated as second class citizens. I'm not feeling the love!! Slays

Still on the fence of what to do about buying Bulletstorm. Of course I want the Epic edition but the situation is somewhat ambiguous.

I personally think Game are probably ripping hardcore customers off over the Epic edition and marking it up because they know they can. I usually pre-order from Game.co.uk because they are generally reliable when it comes to delivery. But I'm not willing to pay extra when I know I shouldn't have to.

UK gets the exact same thing. Use Amazon if you're really worried

[dogsinthecity]

Well my GAME still doesn't know anything about it and told me to come back in 2 weeks but i will probably just end up ordering it off amazon.Mind you i'm in australia so maybe there won't be a price difference...

Still kinda concerned about whether we (Aussies) will be getting the Epic Edition. I pre-ordered the Standard Edition from JB Hi-Fi (local electronics retailer) and made sure to ask whether they had Epic Edition to pre-order. I was told by, I assume, the games manager that they didn't have it in their system but if they happened to get the Epic Edition in, then he would be giving those out to those who pre-ordered.

This still concerns me however, and it would be appreciated if someone (Flak or whoever) could confirm whether Australia will be receiving the Epic Edition for pre-orders or not.

[TAO Devil]

Pretty sure they DID confirm about Aussie getting the EE.

[Slurm]

Hmm I wonder if really those items - pants and new gun will be unique for limited\epic buyers - or it will be simillar to other EA game - limited Bad Company 2 edition, where only thing U got were standard guns unlocked earlier without exp cap.. and they the same thing - limited guns...
Dont wanna be tricked again.

Any info about that?

Cool, thanks for that TAO.

[TheYorkshireTom]

Cool. Here's hoping JB Hi-Fi get the EE in and I can get that

[Gear Storm]

Hello, I'm sure I have a copy of Epic Edition because my receipt specifically says >200492 BulletStorm Epic< but what I'm more worried about than not getting the EE is not getting the special EE case with signature kick. You know the case that has his boot and has XOXO on it, I want that case. No offense or anything but I believe the other case is crappy compared to the EE one.

I can't say for sure without official word. But... You might have to pay that extra £4.99 to make sure you get your EPIC edition, or pre-order the game from somewhere else.

[the fenix fan]

does any one know if you get any armor or weapons for getting the epic edition

[Sevryn08]

they said stuff about armor being in the epic edition, so yes

[Rukey]

Says on the GAME.co.uk website:

Bulletstorm Epic Editon for Xbox 360 Includes:

* Early access to the Gears of War 3 public beta
* 25,000 in-game experience points
* Visual upgrades to the leash weapon
* Peace Maker Carbine weapon

[Rakllen]

I have the question- Do limited editions have hardened boxes? I wish they had <3

[BeLGaRaTh]

Just want to raise a point here, I just got off the phone, after a lengthy discussion with a lady named Charissa at Amazon UK and she advised that Amazon were not aware of this free upgrade and as such would not be upgrading anyone who pre-orders either the 360 or PC version to LE or EE. I advised as to where it was posted and that it categorically said that Amazon were participating and she advised that they have no knowledge of this and that I can take a chance and pre-order, but as far as she and Amazon UK are concerned we will not be getting the LE/EE version

What gives?

I originally ordered of ShopTo here in the UK but they are saying the same, even after asking in their forums they advised that they did not know, also calling ShopTo confirms that they have no skew? (sp?) for Epic Edition or Limited Edition

EDIT


Just had an official reply from Amazon regarding this, which I am attaching here ....

Original Mail from myself
I want to pre-order Bulletstorm on either the PC or the 360 and have been informed via the developers/distributers website that it will be upgraded free of charge for pre-orders from the standard edition to either the Limited Edition (on the PC) or the Epic Edition (on the 360)

I spoke to a lady today from Amazon called Charissa who could neither confirm nor deny this, but advised that as it wasn't showing on the order page then it probably would not be upgraded. She could not take the URL of the site that confirms that Amazon are definitely participating in this, and advised me to send an email, which I am doing now.

The URL for the page which describes the offer is as follows ...

Reply from Amazon
Dear Customer,

Thank you for contacting Amazon.co.uk with your enquiry.

From your email, I understand your concern regarding the edition of "Bulletstorm" that you would receive if you pre-order it from us.

Further checking our website, I would like to inform you that unfortunately we have not been given any information regarding the change in the edition of this item.

Hence in this case, we are unable to confirm you the type of edition you would receive. Therefore, we would suggest that you either get in touch with the publisher of this game or contact us once the item has been released so that we could provide you further information.

Hope this information is of help.

Thank you for your interest in Amazon.co.uk

Warmest regards,

Again this goes against everything that has been said here, even the confirming that ordering from Amazon would result in getting the LE/EE

Can we have some clarification about the Epic Edition in the UK? Is it a Game exclusive or not, as no other supplier seems to know anything about it, at all.

Good ol' Flak! It will finally put our minds at rest... I hope.

[BeLGaRaTh]

Thanks Flak for looking into this, it's getting highly annoying now, especially with the first post saying no matter where you order it from you will be upgraded, and the confirming Amazon will definitely be doing it when they quite clearly believe they are are not.

[Rola1894]

I'll try to have an answer for you today guys!

Thanks for that, its nice to see some proper community involvment!

[Shishio]

just a little question, did we already knows if there will be a co-op mode in split screen for the console versions?

[Christm77]

Friend of mine pre-ordered his from a different webbie and got an e-mail confirmation the next day saying his was definatly being upgraded to the Epic Edition, gonna ask him what that website was.

[patsrule316]

I know the answer before I even ask the question is that If you pre-order it is supposed to be upgraded to the Epic Edition, but has anyone confirmed if Buy.com (U.S.A.) will do the upgrade? I pre-ordered from them, but nothing I have received from them, including asking on their bulletstorm page, has confirmed that they will do the upgrade. Just wanted to make sure.

Thanks!

[nickal]

Can we please get some clarity on this, its getting a bit ridiculous now. I've pre ordered of amazon.co.uk but they seem to know nothing about it as do any of the other online retailers apart from GAME who are charging an extra fiver for it the robbing bastards.

[Rola1894]

Can we please get some clarity on this, its getting a bit ridiculous now.

It is a bit, problem is even on Games site, theres no mention of it being a Game Exclusive. Which normally, if it is, its plastered all over the product page.
