Dirty Box?

 

[Solid]

US only as usual?

 

[Mejilan]

I'm getting a dead link, both here and at ebgames. It mentiones PoP2 with Bonus, but doesn't mention what the bonus is?

 

[Nos_G]

An artbook Mej.

It looks pretty cool, but seems to be only for America.

 

[aoi tsuki]

i was hoping for free angst.

 

[Naked Snake]

For all versions of the game?

 

[Mejilan]

Thanks for clearing that up. Artbook. OK. 40 dollar game + artbook = yeah.

EBgames has all 4 versions of the game listing "with bonus."

 

[Naked Snake]

I hope other retailers offer the bonus, otherwise I'm gonna be pissed. When does the game come out?

November.. can't think of a safe date though. Sometime around the 15th would be my bet.

Edit: According to Amazon.

PAL: November 26, 2004
US: November 16, 2004

AN ADHESIVE GOATEE!

No? Ah crap.

 

[Deku Tree]

If that book is any good, I might pre-order... and I was going to wait for a price drop!

 

[pilonv1]

Prince of Persia 2 preorder bonus!

An extra $20 out of your hand! Act quick since, those that don't pre order will pay the standard price of $19.95 after Christmas.

 

[Deku Tree]

On second thought... maybe I'll be able to pick up the art book by ploping down $5 or $10 at my local gamestop.

 

[NotMSRP]

I often just return games while keeping the preorder gifts and rebuy the games themselves when that magic price drop occurs.

 

[Wario64]

I can't see the pic

 

[NotMSRP]

Shows up fine here.

Just look it up directly on EBGames.com if you can't see for some wierd reason.

 

[Naked Snake]

Why is everyone expecting this game to drop down to $20 so fast? Just because the first one did, I don't see how it's guaranteed to happen again... Or is this a common policy with Ubi Soft games?

November is butcher bay. I don't think PoP2 will survive it - among other titles ofcourse.

 

[pilonv1]

Exactly, last year was pretty tame compared to the big titles out this season. It was largely ignored last year, and chances are it will be utterly lost this year. Of course it wont be the only one.

 

[Wario64]

What other games does Ubisoft have coming out at the end of the year? I'm pretty sure they're gonna put out a massive ad campaign for this game, unlike something like BG&E

Find the odd man out...

Gran Turismo 4 - November 14
Metal Gear Solid 3 - November 15
Need for Speed Underground 2 - November 15
Metroid Prime 2 - November 15
Jak 3 - November 16
PoP 2 - November 16
Call of Duty - November 16
Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3 - November 16
Splinter Cell 3 - November 16
Goldeneye - November 17

You've really gotta wonder what UBI could be thinking by trying to release it at that time.

That list is only for games that are going to sell alot (with the possible exceptions of Jak and PoP), there are more obscure games coming out in that same timeframe too.

 

[jedimike]

some of those will get spread out to December because December is pretty much bone dry right now.

Subliminally forgetting Halo 2?

You've really gotta wonder what UBI could be thinking by trying to release it at that time.

The sooner publishers realised that Q4 is not the holy grail of sales the better. Put this game out in June/July and everyone gets a chance to enjoy it.

"Subliminally forgetting Halo 2?"

Not at all, I was just showing the list for the week PoP2 comes out.

 

[TheDiave]

For a sec. there, I was expecting to see Sands of Time; Remember how Midway gave away MK: Deadly Alliance for preordering Psi-Ops?

I actually finally got my copy of PoP:SoT yesterday for GameCube.

 

[The Bookerman]

I wanted to kick the Art Director's ass when I saw how the Prince turned out.

Problem is... he's not even in montreal. I heard he was french.

All I can do is send him some hate mail.

Start playing it then! I beat it last week and it was awesome! Can't wait to play PoP2!
