Whaaaaat ?!
To be honest, I would never have expected that :D Awesome!
Got to add this one and Tomb Raider in the physical thread.
I know, right!? I almost missed the news myself if the post from iam8bit hadn't appeared on my Twitter feed. Really excited for this physical release and will definitely grab it day one. :messenger_smiling_with_eyes:

I afraid I have to pass on this one, not gonna pay THAT much for shipping & VAT.

It wasn't that much when I ordered Stray IIRC.

Edit:
Stray was +30%, so $90+$30. But Cocoon is 50% of the products price on top :o

Damn wrong Cocoon, I thought you meant the film with Joe Biden in it

Okay, that shipping cost for the CE is absurd. Gonna stick with the €30 retail edition.
 
Last thing I ordered through Iam8bit was Rez.
It's quality was subpar and I requested a refund.
I'd recommend staying well clear of them.
 
Isn't it the soundtrack licence that is restricting the release of the film?
One of the reasons
You need a publisher like 88 Studios or Shout to get the rights because they will pay the licence fee unlike the studio that made it.

I received an email earlier today from the EU retailer I pre-ordered the game from, informing me that the retail edition of Cocoon has been delayed to September 30th. I sure hope iam8bit doesn't mess up yet another physical release...

The silver lining is that they've already given me the pre-order bonus code for the music, so that's cool, I guess.

May I ask you where you ordered your copy of the game? I got nothing from vgp.ca so far

It's a Bulgarian video game retailer named ozone. I order from them because they have free shipping for orders over €35 and prices for some of the games they have up for pre-order are cheaper than what's local. Maybe the delay is just for the PEGI version of the game though.

Well, time to learn Cyrillic I suppose ...
